THE UNIVERSITY OF DALY KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2009 SPORTS 9A NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Green Bay Packers' Donald Driver reacts with Greg Jennings (85) after Driver caught a touchdown pass during the first half of a game against the Baltimore Ravens Dec. 7 in Green Bay, Wis. The Packers defeated the Ravens 27-14. Despite victory, Packers still need help BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — The standings say the Green Bay Packers are in good shape for the playoffs. But Monday night's victory against the Baltimore Ravens showed they still have some work to do to be taken seriously once they get there. It was the fourth straight win for the Packers (8-4), solidifying their spot in the NFC wild-card race. But it certainly wasn't pretty Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, including two to tight end jermichael Finley, and the Packers beat the Ravens 27-14 in a penalty-filled game Monday night. The teams committed 23 pen- allies for 310 yards, tying for the second-highest yardage total in an NFL game. The Ravens (6-6) struggled in coverage without star safety Ed Reed, who sat out with hip and ankle injuries. Baltimore was called for five pass interference penalties, the most by a team in a single game since the New York Giants in 2001. The Packers were flagged four times for pass interference. Rodgers was 26 of 40 for 263 yards with two interceptions, only his sixth and seventh of the season. While Reed's replacement, Tom Zbikowski, came up with one of the interceptions, the Ravens struggled in coverage. Baltimore's Joe Flacco was 15 of 36 for 137 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. The Packers sacked him three times. The win is a continuation of a significant momentum swing for the Packers, who were 4-4 after looking bad in back-to-back losses to Minnesota and Tampa Bay in early November but haven't lost since. They've worked out some of their pass protection problems — Rodgers was sacked only once Monday night — and their defense appears to be getting more comfortable in the 3-4 scheme installed by defensive coordinator Dom Capers in the offseason. Leading 17-0 at halftime and seemingly cruising, the Packers suddenly found themselves scrambling after a pair of turnovers, both involving Donald Driver, allowed Baltimore to get back in the game. The Packers were driving on their first possession of the second half when Driver caught a pass in Ravens territory and fumbled as he turned to run upfield. Former Packers defensive back Frank Walker recovered, giving the ball back to the Ravens at their own 29. Flacco drove the Ravens to the Green Bay 12, where he faced third-and-7. Given a free play after defensive lineman Johnny Jolly jumped offside, Flacco found Kelley Washington in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown. Washington tried to do a "Lambeau leap," but fans pushed him out of the stands. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Texas wins 107-74 against Long Beach State after struggles BY JIM VERTUNO Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Freshman Avery Bradley scored 17 points, leading six Texas players in double figures, and the No. 2 Longhorns routed Long Beach State 107-74 on Monday night. After two games of some offensive struggles, Texas (7-0) scored a season high, shot 59 percent and had 33 points off 23 turnovers by Long Beach State. Point guard Dogus Balbay, making just his second start of the season, had a career-high 11 assists. Stephan Gilling scored 19 points to lead Long Beach State (4-4). Texas got its best production of the season out of a freshman class considered by many the top group in the country. Among them, Bradley was ranked the top recruit in the class. Jordan Hamilton finished with 13 points and JCovan Brown scored 13, making three 3-pointers. Hamilton scored 11 and Bradley scored 10 as Texas shot 61 percent in the first half. Balbay, a junior, provided the early spark with four assists in the first five minutes. The freshmen hooked up nicely when Hamilton started a fast break with a steal and passed to Brown, who then fired the ball to Bradley in the corner for a 3-pointer and a 44-27 lead. Brown ended the first half with a 3-pointer with 34 seconds left, then a spinning layup at the buzzer to give Texas a 52-37 lead at the break. Balbay opened the second half by finding Bradley for another 3-pointer, then blocked a 3-point attempt by Larry Anderson. Senior Damion James, who came in leading Texas in scoring and rebounding this season — he's averaging a double-double — picked up his third foul less than two minutes into the second and went to the bench. He finished with 14 points but the Texas offense managed just fine without him on this night. Balbay kept finding creases for nifty passes on assists. Hamilton came back in and immediately forced another turnover, then set up Brown for another 3-pointer and a 62-43 lead. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Charleston keeps streak with Monday's victory GREENSBORO, N.C. — Andrew Goudelock scored 28 points, helping College of Charleston stay undefeated in conference play with a 67-64 win over North Carolina-Greensboro on Monday night. The Cougars (4-3, 3-0 Southern Conference) led by as many as 10 points after Goudelock's 3 with 5:27 left to play put them up 62-52. went on a 10-2 run from that juncture, pulling within 64-62 on Kyle Randall's layup with 1:33 remaining. Casaan Breeden hit a 3 for Charleston's final points after a UNC-Greensboro timeout, though, and the Spartans missed on two 3-point attempts in the final 13 seconds. Breeden finished with 14 points and Jeremy Simmons added 10 for the Cougars. Goudelock hit four 3-pointers and Breeden sank three more for the Cougars, who connected on 10 3s in the win. But the Spartans (2-5, 1-1) KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Associated Press announcements for sale ... HAWKCHALK.COM 785-864-4358 textbooks FOR SALE Kitchen table w/ 4 chairs.
