Razorback players set school record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — When Arkansas faced Missouri State four years ago, the Razorbacks rushed for nearly 500 yards.
Oh. how times have changed.
Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson threw for 447 combined yards, setting a school record and helping the Hogs to a 48-10 win over Missouri State on Saturday night. Arkansas had never passed for over 400 yards in a game, but the Razorbacks surpassed that number with ease in their 2009 opener.

Arkansas wide receiver Jarius Wright carries during the second quarter of the game against Missouri State in Little Rock, Ark., Saturday.
"It's neat," Mallett said of the record. "I hope we try to break it every week."
Mallett, who sat outlast season after transferring from Michigan, went 17 for 22 for 309 yards and a touchdown, and Wilson threw for 138 yards and two TDs in relief. Arkansas' Michael Smith, who rushed
for over 1,000 yards last year, carried only four times for 43 yards and a touchdown.
"I was happy with the way our offensive passing game executed," Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. "Protection, the timing, the ball coming out of the hand."
"At one point I told the guys in the booth, 'I feel like I am calling a pass every first down,' Petrino said. "Usually it is about 50 percent pass and 50 percent run on first-and-10."
in 2005. The score was similar this time around, but the Razorbacks' offense looked much different.
Arkansas rushed for 483 yards in a 49-17 win over Missouri State
"At one point I told the guys in the booth,
'I feel like I am calling a pass at every first down."
Wilson finished 13 of 19 with an interception. He and Mallett nearly combined to break the school record of 31 completions, set in 1971.
Coming off a 5-7 season, the Razorbacks (1-0) are expecting a big improvement in Petrino's second year as their coach. They were in control throughout the game

against Missouri State (0-1). Dennis Johnson took the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to give Arkansas the lead 18 seconds into the game.
"That kickoff return was demoralizing." Missouri
State cornerback Cedric Alvis said.
The quick start was quite an omen for the Hogs, who fumbled away the first kickoff of last season.
Jarius Wright was open all over the field for the Razorbacks and finished with six catches for 139 yards. His 58-yard reception from
Mallett set up Broderick Green's 1-yard scoring run that made it 21-3. Green, a transfer from Southern California, carried several times in short-yardage situations with mixed results. In the second quarter, Arkansas had first-and-goal from the 5 before Green was stopped on three straight runs. Wilson had to throw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Van Stumon on fourth down to make it 28-3.
In the final minute of the half, another drive stalled near the goal line and Arkansas' Alex Tejada kicked a 20-yard field goal.
Cody Kirby, who played his high school football in northwest Arkansas, went 12 of 20 for 107
yards with two interceptions for the Bears. Missouri State scored its only touchdown in the second quarter after the Razorbacks were called for pass interference on fourth down. Jonathan Davis' 2-yard scoring run made it 28-10.
Joe Adams took a short pass from Mallett and broke down the right sideline for a 40-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and Wilson added a 1-yard touchdown pass to Cobi Hamilton in the fourth.
Petrino said Arkansas wide receiver London Crawford would be X-rayed Sunday and could be out a while after injuring his shoulder.
HOUSTON — Hunter Pence homered and drove in three runs as the Houston Astros completed a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-3 win Monday over the NL East leaders.
Astros earn four-game sweep against Phillies
MLB
Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez hit back-to-back homers in the fourth against Houston starter Brian Moehler. Howard also drove in a run with a first-inning single.
Pence hit a two-run homer and an RBI double for the Astros, who've won eight of their last nine home games. Michael Bourn drew a bases-loaded walk from Chan Ho Park to force home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning.
Jamie Moyer became the Phillies' last-minute starter when J.A. Happ was unable to pitch because of a right oblique strain. Moyer got a no-decision after allowing two runs and three hits in six innings.
With the Phillies leading 1-0, Moyer walked Miguel Tejada in the second and Pence drove a full-count pitch over the railroad tracks in left, his third home run of the series.
Howard and Ibanez homered in the fourth, the second time this season the two sluggers have connected in consecutive at-bats.
Moehler walked ibanez and Jayson Werth with two outs in the sixth and Sammy Gervacio relieved. Pedro Feliz walked on four pitches to load the bases, but Gervacio got Carlos Ruiz to fly out.
Dodgers lead NL West, defeat Diamondbacks
PHOENIX — Manny Ramirez hit his 17th home run of the season before being ejected and Los Angeles late-season acquisitions Vicente Padilla and Ronnie Belliard contributed to the Dodgers' 7-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Ramirez hit a solo homer in a three-run second inning off right-hander Max Scherzer (9-9) but was tossed after flinging his bat and helmet to the ground near home plate after striking out to end the third.
Bellard and James Loney also hit bases-empty homers for the Dodgers, who have won all three starts Padilla (2-0) has made joining the rotation Aug. 27.
Belliard, acquired from Washington on Aug. 30, had three hits and two RBIs, finishing a triple short of the cycle.
He had an RBI double and Russell Martin hit a sacrifice fly in two-run eighth inning, which began when Juan Pierre, Ramirez's replacement, singled and stole second and third. Pierre added an RBI single in the ninth.
Dodgers right-hander Jonathan Broxton got a four-out save, entering to strike out Justin Upton with runners on first and second and two outs in the eighth inning. Broxton has 33 saves in 38 chances.
The Dodgers (82-57) lead the NL West by $3\frac{1}{2}$ games with 23 games to play and remain tied with St. Louis for the best record in the National League.

Two consecutive birdies win championship for Stricker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTON, Mass. — Steve Stricker can build a strong case for the Deutsche Bank Championship as the biggest victory of his career.
It was his first win with Tiger Woods in the tournament. His third victory of the season moved him up to a career-high No. 2 in the world ranking. And he replaced Woods atop the FedEx Cup standings.
What satisfied Stricker the most,
however, was how he won.
In a wild Labor Day finish on the TPC Boston, where a half-dozen players came to the par-5 18th hole with hopes of winning, Stricker finished with back-to-back birdies for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot victory Monday.
"Knowing I had to make a couple of birdies and actually doing it
means a lot," he said.
Stricker finished at 17-under 267 and earned $1.35 million. He also built a 909-point lead over Woods in the FedEx Cup with two tournaments remaining. Because the points are reset after next week in Chicago, Stricker is assured of being no worse than the No. 2 seed in the Tour Championship with a chance to win the $10 million prize.
Asked if it was gratifying to bounce back one week later and have another putt on the 18th hole, Stricker laughed.
"This one was more my length, I'll tell you that," he said. "I liked this 1-footer."
Stricker also won the opening playoff event in 2007, and he now has had 28 of 40 rounds in the 60s during this postseason bonanza.
