BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Zach LeDay scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, Seth Allen added 15 points and Virginia Tech beat the Virginia Military Institute 88-72 on Saturday night.We were much more purposeful with our dribbles and passes in the second half in the pace we want to play, said Virginia Tech head coach Buzz Williams.Virginia Tech (3-0) took the lead for good with 6:44 left in the first half on Khadim Sys layup. The Hokies led 44-34 at the break on the strength of 57 percent shooting and a 19-12 rebounding edge.I think we played real good pushing the ball, said LeDay, but we have to be better on the defensive end. We want to be playing in March.Tech led by 20 points on several occasions in the second half but VMI kept chipping away.QJ Peterson scored 29 points (23 in the second half) with three 3-pointers and eight rebounds for the Keydets (1-1).Hes a really good player and whats nice is that hes our hardest worker as well, said VMI head coach Dan Earl. His decision making . was really good.Were recognizing when someone has the hot hand and were trying to get them the ball, Peterson said of his big night in a losing effort. They trusted me more in the second half. They wanted me to keep on attacking and make the plays.Adrian Rich and Trey Chapman added 10 points apiece for VMI.Virginia Tech finished shooting 60 percent from the floor (33 of 55) and hit 7 of 17 3-pointers. VMI shot 44 percent from the floor and was outrebounded 34-28.Justin Bibbs and Chris Clarke each added 13 points for Tech.Allen said he is not looking ahead to the ACC portion of the schedule.We have to think about how to get better now, hopefully it will get to that level, he said. I feel pretty good -- off the court (and) on the court we love each other.Three games into the season Williams said he likes his team a lot.I think theyre playing for each other, he said.TAKEAWAYSVirginia Tech: Tech is now 91-43 all-time against the VMI Keydets in a rivalry that dates back to the 1908-09 season. The Hokies have won the last six games in the series. Tech doesnt begin the ACC portion of its schedule until a New Years Eve noon home game against Duke.VMI: The Keydets havent beaten Virginia Tech since Dec. 4, 2004.STAT OF THE NIGHTThe Hokies shot 51.7 percent from the free throw line -- 41 percent in the second half. We could easily have scored 100 if we made our typical free throw percentage, said Williams. Hopefully its an aberration; I dont think Seth Allen (1 of 5) is a 20-percent free throw shooter.UP NEXTVirginia Tech hits the road for their next game against New Mexico on Thanksgiving Day in Fullerton, California, competing in the Wooden Legacy tourney. ESPN will carry the 4:30pm contest. Williams noted the 10-day, 2 time zone trip: I dont know that Virginia Tech has ever done that.VMI is on the road Tuesday night against Presbyterian College. Well find out a lot about ourselves in these next four games, said Earl of a stretch that also includes Campbell and Radford. Fake Yeezy Powerphase . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. Fake Yeezy 350 Cleat . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. http://www.fakeyeezysforsale.com/fake-yeezy-boost-350-v2/ . Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Fake Yeezy Boost 750 . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. Wholesale Fake Yeezys . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Here come the unbeaten Steelers from Western Pennsylvania, crossing the Keystone State to meet the unbeaten Eagles.They only play every four years, but how cool it is that each is 2-0 and looking strong when they meet Sunday?Even without star running back LeVeon Bell and emerging receiver Martavis Bryant -- Bell finishes his three-game league suspension this weekend, while Bryant is suspended for the entire season -- Pittsburghs offense has hummed. DeAngelo Williams leads the NFL in rushing in his 11th pro season, Antonio Brown is the games most dangerous wideout, and Ben Roethlisberger is making big plays.They dont ask for a birth certificate before the game, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz says of the 33-year-old Williams.They dont give you 9 yards (to gain a first down) if you are over 30. Youve still got to get 10. Hes a patient runner, hes compact, and hes strong. He can test every area of your run gaps.The Steelers dont have many run gaps; their rush defense ranks second. So Philly might need to rely once more on rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Hes made a strong debut in wins over Cleveland and Chicago, but Pittsburgh isnt anything like those two tailenders.Eagles coach Doug Pederson pays Wentz quite a compliment when asked if he saw some Roethlisberger in the second overall draft pick.Little bit, little bit, Pederson says.Carson has the ability to extend plays with his legs. Ben is big, strong, physical in the pocket, hard to bring down and continues to have great vision down the field.I think thats one thing with Carsons strength is he continues to have that vision down the field when things begin to break down.So, yeah, there are a lot of similarities there. The fact that theyre both very good throwers outside the pocket is a tribute to both of them.As would be a 3-0 record.The action began Thursday night with New Englands 27-0 home victory over Houston.Jacoby Brissett had a 27-yard touchdown run in his first NFL start, LeGarrette Blount added scoring runs of 1 and 41 yards for New England (3-0). It was the Patriots first shutout win since 2012, and the first time the Texans (2-1) have been shutout since 2003.Brissett started in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, who was inactive because of an injured right shoulder. It was the first time since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 that New England had started a rookie quarterback.Atlanta (1-1) at New Orleans (2-0), Monday nightA rematch of the biggest regular-season game in Saints history, their return to the Superdome after being displaced for 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. A blocked punt by Steve Gleason -- theres a statue outside the stadium honoring it -- sparked a 2006 win over Atlanta, and the Saints wound up in the playoffs.Theres a lot of symbolism in that game, Saints coach Sean Payton says. That idea of rebirth. ... You have this event that coincides with the reopening of an area that was used to shelter people. There were a ton of things that were somewhat unreal about it. ... Obviously that was an emotional night, and it was loud.Falcons coach Dan Quinn lost both of these rivalry games in his initial season in Atlanta.Denver (2-0) at Cincinnati (1-1)The Broncos hit the road for the first time, and you can be sure theyll be hitting anything that moves in a Bengals uniform. Denvers defense is hellacious once more, especially against the pass, ranking second. Super Bowl MVP Von Miller already has four sacks.On the other side, Cincinnati is dead last in rushing defense, and Broncos RB C.J. Anderson leads the NFL with seven runs of at least 10 yards. The Broncos have an NFL-best record in September over the past three seasons of 11-1.Cincinnati opened with two road contests and now tries to get its running game in gear at home. Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard have combined for less than 100 yards rushing in the first two games.Minnesota (2-0) at Carolina (1-1)A tough test for the Vikings minus Adrian Peterson, sidelined by knee surgery. At least Sam Bradford looked sharp as he stepped into the QB void created when Teddy Bridgewater went down in the preseason.Obviously, when Adrians in the game, everyones loading the box, trying to stop the run, which gives us a lot of one-on-one matchups on the outside, Bradford says. It also makes our play action pretty effective. When they see him coming downhill, everyones stepping up to stop the run.Well have to see how defenses try to play us from here on out.The Panthers have won 14 straight home games, including playoffs. Theyre getting terrific production from WR Kelvin Benjamin, who missed all of 2015 with a knee injury after a strong rookie season. He has 13 catches and three TDs in two games.The game is in Charlotte, which was declared to be in state of emergency Wednesday by Gov. Pat McCrory due to police shooting protests.Detroit (1-1) at Green Bay (1-1)Coming off their sloppy loss at Minnesota, the Packers get their first home game -- against a Lions team that was even sloppier in blowing a lead to Tennessee.The previous time the Pack visited Ford Field, they won on a desperation pass from Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers.Well, we actually dont call it `Hail Mary, Packers coach Mike McCarthy says. We call it `Rebound Pass. ... Weve got the ball thrown at the right time clock to give our receivers enough time to get down the field and it was definitely at the angle tthat youre looking at.ddddddddddddSan Francisco (1-1) at Seattle (1-1)The 49ers havent won in Seattle since late in the 2011 season. But Blaine Gabbert has thrown a TD pass in 12 straight games, had a 98.2 passer rating in his previous meeting with the Seahawks, and has found two unexpectedly proficient targets so far in TE Vance McDonald and WR Jeremy Kerley. Kerley leads the team with 10 receptions and McDonald has caught two of the 49ers three TD passes.Seattle cant find its offense and has some hobbled players in RB Thomas Rawls (shin), WR Doug Baldwin (knee) and WR Tyler Lockett (knee). All are expected to play, and Rawls rushed for 209 yards and a TD in the previous game vs. the 49ers.Los Angeles (1-1) at Tampa Bay (1-1)Tampa is one of three teams without a takeaway so far, joining Seattle and the Giants. Even worse, the Bucs have an NFL-high six giveaways, with five interceptions thrown by Jameis Winston.The Rams have the NFLs worst offense statistically, but they woke up last week against Seattle in their first game back in Los Angeles after a debacle of an opener at the 49ers.New York Jets (1-1) at Kansas City (1-1)The beginning of a gantlet for New York: four straight 2015 playoff teams. At least the Jets come into this one with a potent passing attack featuring Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, and RB Matt Forte offering balance. They also can get after the passer on defense.KC, coming off its first regular-season loss in 12 games, might get back star running back Jamaal Charles (right knee). The way to penetrate the Jets defense right now, though, has been to challenge cornerback Darrelle Revis.Chicago (0-2) at Dallas (1-1)Dallas benefited from some poor play by Washington QB Kirk Cousins a week ago, and now could be looking at Bears backup Brian Hoyer or a banged-up (thumb) Jay Cutler. Both can be turnover machines.Shockingly, the Cowboys have lost eight straight at home dating to last seasons opener. It might be tough for the struggling Bears to sneak out with a victory: Chicago also will be without LBs Lamarr Houston (knee) and Danny Trevathan (sprained thumb), along with the likely absence of DL Eddie Goldman (sprained ankle).Washington (0-2) at New York Giants (2-0)The intrigue here centers on the rematch between Giants star wideout Odell Beckham Jr., and Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. Last December, during Normans All-Pro season with Carolina, he so frustrated Beckham that OBJ committed three penalties and wound up suspended for the next game.Both guys were playing relatively nice during the week, refusing to stoke the fire. Lets see if that approach holds up Sunday.Baltimore (2-0) at Jacksonville (0-2)Like the Redskins, the Jaguars have tempered high expectations with a stumbling start. A close home loss to Green Bay is acceptable, but a rout at the hands of San Diego is not. Another defeat and all of those prognostications that Jacksonville was on the come will begin to look foolish.The Ravens have ridden a hot defense that ranks second overall and first against the pass. If they can handle the Allens -- dangerous wideouts Hurns and Robinson -- they could have their first 3-0 start since 2009.Cleveland (0-2) at Miami (0-2)The Dolphins are somewhat schizophrenic in 2016. They showed solid defense in a loss to Seattle, then fell apart early at New England and were blitzed for 24 first-half points. But they also rallied to fall by only seven against the Patriots.At least Cleveland is consistent: banged-up and losing. Rookie Cody Kessler becomes the third Browns QB this season -- and the 99th (well, actually the 26th) since the franchise was reborn in 1999.Arizona (1-1) at Buffalo (0-2)Rex Ryan fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman and well see what effect it has as the discombobulated Bills face one of the NFLs best. The Cardinals head to the road for the first time, and their multi-pronged offense will severely challenge Ryans underwhelming D.Well without question weve had a lot of setbacks. You know, through injury, suspension, whatever, Ryan notes. Nobodys feeling sorry for us, we certainly understand that, and were not feeling sorry for ourselves. We know we have to get better and we have plenty of capable guys that are playing for us, so theres absolutely no excuses.Oakland (1-1) at Tennessee (1-1)The Raiders have shown lots of offense by averaging 470 yards and with Derek Carr throwing four TD passes and not being intercepted. But they also have given up 69 points.Oakland needs to watch out for tight end Delanie Walker, who has become a major force in Nashville and had six catches for 91 yards against the Raiders last season. In the win at Detroit, Walker went for six receptions for 83 yards and a TD.San Diego (1-1) at Indianapolis (0-2)Two more injury-plagued clubs. Indys secondary is a real mess, and the Chargers lost top receiver Keenan Allen and versatile running back Danny Woodhead for the season.The Chargers have won six of the past seven in this series, including three straight, and are 12-3 on the road against the Colts. Philip Rivers needs four more TD passes to tie John Unitas (290) for No. 10, and could get it against Indys damaged D.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
