Minimizing turnovers fueled West Virginias unbeaten start. Coughing up the ball ended it.Quarterback Skyler Howard was responsible for all three of the Mountaineers turnovers last week that allowed Oklahoma State to score 17 points in the Cowboys 37-20 win.One loss on the road halted weeks of momentum that had thrust the Mountaineers into the national conversation after starting the season unranked.With a conference title very much up for grabs, No. 14 West Virginia (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) has a chance to replenish its confidence at home against Kansas (1-7, 0-5) on Saturday before embarking on a tough four-week stretch to finish the regular season.While playing the Jayhawks might seem like a breather compared to what lies ahead, including games against No. 12 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor, coach Dana Holgorsen wont put up with anything but his teams best preparations to play a last-place team.If you pin your whole season off of one loss, then theres going to be 99 percent disappointed people across the country. Its college football, Holgorsen said. It happens. What you have to do is you have to use it as motivation to go out there and practice harder, prepare harder.The offenses struggles against Oklahoma State were a bit of a surprise. West Virginia had no turnovers in its two previous games and Howard had previously thrown four interceptions all season.All three turnovers Saturday ended up giving Oklahoma State the ball inside West Virginias 20, although one of his interceptions bounced off a receivers hands.West Virginias veteran offensive line has allowed nine sacks in its last two games. Holgorsen blamed some of those on Howard. His second-quarter fumble against the Cowboys came as he was in the grasp of Vincent Taylor, who had gotten around guard Grant Lingafelter.Offensive line coach Ron Crook wants his linemen to finish blocks better. And Holgorsen wants his quarterback to protect the football, keep his eyes downfield not try to shoulder the responsibilities of an entire offense.Nobody has higher expectations for him than him, Holgorsen said. He probably needs to reduce a little pressure that he puts on himself and go out there and just play the game. Thats a good quality that he has. Its our job to make sure those dont get too high for him.Center Tyler Orlosky said he expects Howard to bounce back quickly.Hes a competitor, Orlosky said. Hes a guy that is going to come out this week I think in practice and be that leader we need. Hell get guys going and hell be focused and hell be locked in.Howard said getting ready for heavy underdog Kansas will be no different than other games. He said whats different is outsiders perceptions of playing Kansas or FCS Youngstown State earlier this season.People thought, obviously, that we have Youngstown this week, were OK. We dont have to practice as hard. We dont have to do the little things, he said. And thats not the truth. You do have to do the little things.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Phillies Jerseys Online .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner.

Kimi Raikkonen admits the lap which earned him third on grid for the Brazilian Grand Prix was still pretty average.Raikkonen jumped up to third late in the session, putting him ahead of Red Bulls Max Verstappen on the second row of the grid. Despite being best of the rest behind the Mercedes drivers Raikkonen admits he had been struggling for pace before and during his last attempt.I struggled the whole qualifying, in a few places, a few corners and in the middle sector, he said. To be honest the last lap was pretty average in my view, but obviously it was enough to be in third place. The Mercedes seems to be a bit too far.I struggled in the first two corners with tyre warm-up a bit and even the middle I wasnt very happy but I dont mind, it was good enough for this and we will see what we can do.Red Bull came into the weekend hoping to fight Mercedes again but has slipped into tthe clutches of Ferrari as it has progressed.dddddddddddd There is one of either car on the second and third row and Raikkonen thinks the complexion of the grid shows Ferrari is still making improvements this late in the year.Its been very close with Red Bull, most of the year. Sometimes weve been a bit behind, sometimes in front. I think weve done in the recent races a very good job as a team, improved in certain areas, tried new things and have learned some positive things.As a team weve worked very well and that has helped us to go back to where we were at the start of the year. Hopefully we can have a good, strong race tomorrow. I think its all about learning from what weve done, improving things and having everyone pushing in the same direction.
