TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Eli Manning Official Jersey . —Amari Cooper caught two touchdown passes from AJ McCarron and Christion Jones returned a kickoff 99 yards for another score, leading No. 1 Alabama to a 33-14 victory over Mississippi Saturday night. The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed briefly, 7-6, for the first time in regulation since last years Tennessee game, a span of about 10 games. The Rebels (3-2, 0-1) put up a fight against a team that had been walloping opponents by nearly 37 points on average, but still lost their ninth straight SEC opener. “It was a hard-fought win for us,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “I think people probably dont give Ole Miss enough credit. They played hard. They were physical. Their offence is difficult to defend.” Saban had tried to keep his players focused by broadcasting Tim Tebows memorable speech after the Rebels upset Florida four years ago in the weight room and meeting rooms. Alabama goes into its open week without needing such a podium prompter. McCarron completed 22 of 30 passes for 180 yards and Eddie Lacy gained much of his 82 yards in the fourth quarter when Alabama put it away with Jeremy Shelleys third and fourth field goals of the game. The Tides defence bailed out an offence that sputtered at times with three interceptions. Alabama totalled 305 yards against a defence that gave up 66 points and 676 yards to Texas two weeks ago. The Rebels gained 218 yards in a game that was largely controlled by the defences after days when SEC teams like Texas A&M and Georgia rolled up 50-plus points. Lacy had 12 carries for 43 yards through three quarters. Cooper collected eight catches for 84 yards. McCarron broke Brodie Croyles school mark of 190 consecutive passes without an interception. He finished the game with 206 in a row. Bo Wallace was 15-of-26 passing for 123 yards for Ole Miss and was intercepted twice. Jeff Scott was limited to 49 yards on 19 carries with a touchdown. Ole Miss did something no other team had done in about 10 games: Got a lead on Alabama in regulation. It lasted only as long as it took Jones to run back the ensuing kick. Scott cut inside for a 1-yard touchdown early in the second quarter for a 7-6 lead. That ended the Tides streak at 603 minutes, 46 seconds dating back to a 3-0 first quarter deficit against the Volunteers last season. It was fleeting. Jones raced untouched for a touchdown after grabbing the ball on a high bounce at the goal line and Alabama scored two more TDs before halftime to surge to a 27-7 lead. It was Alabamas first kick return for a TD since Trent Richardson did it against Duke on Sept. 18, 2010. Then, Dee Milliner intercepted a pass that Wallace threw right to him. Three plays later, McCarron hit the playmaking freshman Cooper for a 16-yard touchdown. It was ruled incomplete, but a review overturned the call after replays showed he had possession with a foot in bounds and the ball stretched just across the goal line. Cooper reached over Frank Crawford in the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown. Both his scores were on third-down plays. The Tide defence picked off passes on consecutive on consecutive drives after Ole Miss scored its first touchdown. “That was the turning point in the game,” Saban said. “We really only put one true drive together. Those turnovers were really the difference in the game.” Ole Miss didnt score again until Randall Mackeys 12-yard touchdown run with 6:35 left in the third quarter trimmed the deficit to 27-14. The Rebels converted two fourth-down plays on the drive, on a Jeff Scott run and catch. The Rebels had one final chance to stay in the game. They inched across midfield midway through the fourth but had to punt and Alabama ran most of the clock down with a ground game mostly held in check before getting another field goal.

HOUSTON —The Texans have always been known for their prolific offence under Gary Kubiak. Now, Houston has a defence capable of making just as many plays, and the formula has the team off to its best start ever. Danieal Manning and Kareem Jackson returned interceptions for touchdowns, and Matt Schaub threw two TD passes in Houstons 38-14 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Arian Foster also had a touchdown run for Houston (4-0). Even though the Texans were outgained 325-297 by the Titans (1-3), they broke open a close game after halftime. “We really played great defence, the whole second half,” Kubiak said. “The defensive play in the second was what got us going, the big play.” Houstons offence ranked among the NFLs top-5 from 2007-11, but the team didnt win its first division title until after Wade Phillips became the defensive co-ordinator before last season. The Texans ranked second in total defence coming into Sundays game, and came out hitting. Titans quarterback Jake Locker left in the first quarter and didnt return after hurting his left, non-throwing shoulder on a hit by Glover Quin. Locker hurt the same shoulder in the season opener against New England. Matt Hasselbeck threw two touchdown passes in relief of Locker. Tennessee coach Mike Munchak said Locker was “sore” and would undergo an MRI exam Monday. Chris Johnson carried 25 times for 141 yards, more than tripling his rushing total through the first three games. “It was a pretty good game,” Johnson said. “We ran the ball. I felt like my offensive line went out there and did a great job from the first snap, just getting up on guys, pushing those guys back, and just giving me somewhere to run.” The Texans led 14-7 at halftime, but their offence bogged down for a while after that. Houston mustered only two first downs in the second quarter, and went three-and-out on the first series of the third quarter. Leave it to Houstons defence to get the Texans going again. Hasselbeck threw behind tight end Taylor Thompson, and the ball ricocheted to Manning, who weaved 55 yards for a touchdown. Mannings play not only reignited the restless fans at Reliant Stadium, it also seemed to wake up the offence. “Its a nice luxury to have, when you see them make those turnovers,” Schaub said. “It creates such a lift for us.” The Texans went without a huddle and breezed down the fiield in just over two minutes. Domenik Hixon Elite Jersey. Foster broke a 16-yard run, and Schaub threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to tight end Owen Daniels. Down 28-7, the Titans were forced to throw more despite Johnsons best game of the season. Johnson came in with only 45 yards rushing on 33 carries through the first three games. Hasselbeck fumbled when he was hit by Antonio Smith in the fourth quarter, and J.J. Watt recovered at the Tennessee 24. Shayne Graham kicked a 33-yard field goal with 5:38 left. Tennessee crossed midfield, and Jackson intercepted Hasselbeck and raced untouched to the end zone, high-stepping the last 10 yards. Hasselbeck threw a short TD pass to Wright in the final minute. He finished 17 of 25 for 193 yards. “Its frustrating because I feel like were not that far away,” Hasselbeck said. “But we didnt play great and we had turnovers and I was a part of three of them. Its just frustrating because I know were capable of a lot more.” The Texans led 7-0 when Locker was hurt on the Titans second series. On third down, Quin blitzed and plowed into Locker for his first career sack. Locker immediately grabbed his left hand and arm as he was down on the turf. He walked to the locker room on his own, and later returned in street clothes, his left arm in a sling. Houston took over near midfield and converted a fourth-and-1 from the Tennessee 38. Foster scored on a 4-yard run. Hasselbeck, in his first action since the opener, threw a 25-yard pass to tight end Jared Cook. The Texans smothered Johnson for a 6-yard loss to force another punt for Tennessee. Johnson later broke a 19-yard run and the Titans offence showed some life with Hasselbeck taking the snaps. Hasselbeck found fullback Craig Stevens for a 19-yard touchdown with 7:52 left in the first half. Johnson limped off the field late in the first half, after he was tackled by linebackers Brian Cushing and Connor Barwin. He returned for the Titans first series of the third quarter.
