LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Nothing about Kentuckys quest toward respectability was easy, and the win that finally put the Wildcats back in the postseason for the first time in six years required overcoming initial adversity.They regrouped by halftime and now look forward to playing in December for a change.Stephen Johnson came off the bench to throw two second-quarter touchdown passes, Benny Snell and Jojo Kemp each ran for two scores and Kentucky rallied past Austin Peay 49-13 on Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2010.Its a happy locker room, said Kentucky coach Mark Stoops, who added, they stayed the course, never flinched and its never easy. Weve just got to continue to push forward.Drama preceded the Wildcats postseason-clinching victory with the pregame announcement that little-used sophomore Luke Wright would start at quarterback instead of Johnson because of a left knee injury that wasnt previously disclosed. In-game anxiety followed as Kentucky trailed the FCS Governors 13-0 early in the second quarter and led to the emergency use of Johnson -- who looked healthy enough to guide his team into a 21-13 lead by halftime.They just wanted me in emergency situations, and not to go out there and get hurt even more, Johnson said.Snells 30-yard TD run got Kentucky (6-5) going before Johnsons scoring passes of 14 yards to C.J. Conrad and 40 to Garrett Johnson. The Wildcats broke it open as Boom Williams ran for a 25-yard TD, Snell scored from 48 and Kemp from 40 and 7 yards.Reaching six wins was huge for Kentucky after falling just short with back-to-back 5-7 finishes. The achievement looked even more elusive after a 0-2 start and a back injury to Drew Barker in the third game that propelled Johnson into the starters role.Those struggles were forgotten on a cold, blustery evening before 48,948 that culminated in the goal that Stoops sought.I might have been in middle school, so that goes to show how long ago it was (for Kentucky), said sophomore cornerback Chris Westry, who had one of the Wildcats two interceptions.Snell carried 14 times for 152 yards to set a school single-season record for a freshman (1,006) and give Kentucky its first-ever 1,000-yard rushing duo with Williams (1,072).Kentel Williams 17-yard TD run and Gunnar Scholatos 25-yard interception return of Wright for a score got Austin Peay (0-11) ahead. The Governors couldnt stop Johnson or Kentucky after that and finished with their 27th straight loss dating back to 2014.THE TAKEAWAYAustin Peay: The Governors controlled the initial tempo and drove 69 yards for their first TD. But quarterback Javaughn Craig threw two interceptions and they didnt cross midfield until the fourth quarter and were outgained 410-284.The interception in the red zone, we cant have happen, coach Will Healy said. We still find ways to shoot ourselves in the foot with turnovers, but I though we went toe-to-toe.Kentucky: Interceptions by Westry and Mike Edwards -- the second of which led to the Wildcats first TD -- offset early holding penalties that erased touchdowns. But Johnsons entry made the biggest difference in settling down an offense that struggled without him. Johnson completed 5 of 9 passes for 101 yards.We just knew we had to settle down a little bit so we could do what we wanted to do as an offense, Johnson said. We just had to go out there and do it.HERE TO HELPKentuckys 1-2 punch of Snell and Williams were critical to its postseason push that pleased Snell more than breaking Moe Williams previous freshman rushing record of 928 yards in 1993.Im glad I got to 1,000 yards, Snell said, but Im happy won as a team, we got to six wins and get to go bowling. The seniors deserved that.UP NEXTAustin Peay: Season over.Kentucky: The Wildcats visit third-ranked (for now) Louisville (No. 5 CFP) , aiming to end a five-game losing streak against their in-state rival and hand the Cardinals their second consecutive loss.---More AP college football: collegefootball.ap.org Adidas NMD Womens NZ .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. Adidas Y3 NZ . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. http://www.nmdshoesnz.com/adidas-stan-smith-cheap-nz.html . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Adidas Continental 80 NZ . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. Adidas Falcon Shoes NZ . How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. The ball was only in the air for a moment. But that moment was long enough to think about Mohammad Amirs comeback, the ageing Pakistan squad, their lack of openers, and Yasir Shahs first real Test outside of Asia. By the time Joe Root was caught off Yasir, it just didnt matter as much. Pakistan were in front, and Yasir took five more wickets, with spin and deception, to keep them there.Yasir was promoted from No. 11 to No. 8 in the space of one innings at Lords, and when he arrived the game was hot. Pakistan had stuttered to 168 for 6, a quick takedown of the tail and England were favourites. Yasir made 30, but more importantly he was out when the score was 214.Forget Amir, Wahab Riaz and Yasir; it was Rahat Ali, (cult classic, not bestseller) who put England on the back foot. It was Yasir who kept them there. For most of the final innings his job was the man who made England worry. They were worried about his standard bowling, they were worried about his defensive bowling, and they were worried about footmarks. But he didnt tear through England as he had in the first innings, he just stared them down. It was only when he took Jonny Bairstow, after hours of planning, and the Wahab tidal wave, that he finished England.Amir was flying through the field, the team were copying Misbahs push ups, and Pakistan had won. And Yasir was No. 1.****There is something wrong with Yasir. The bits arent working, the repeatable action wont repeat, the ball wont land, the batsman wont fear, and even Misbah looks worried. In the space of a few days Yasir has gone from one of the best bowlers in the world to one of the worst. In one over there are more bad balls than his entire first Test combined. He pulls some down, floats others too much, and at no stage does he seem to understand what has gone wrong.He is also bowling to Englands best two batsmen. They pounce on mistakes, handle the few good balls and keep Yasir feeling completely lost. He ends the first innings at Old Trafford with one wicket, from 54 overs and 213 runs. Six more runs than England managed in the fourth innings at Lords.If Lords was the dream, Old Trafford is the reality. The north has been cruel to Pakistan. Runs for Shan Masood, much like Mohammad Hafeezs promising start in the first Test, mean nothing. Both have tried their best, but neither looks up to this job. And it is tough. England dont lose series in England. Their pride was wounded, and in Manchester it was Pakistan who were wounded.Yasir struggles with the bat, and when he bowls again, goes wicketless for 53 from his nine overs. His best followed by his worst.Yasir, and Pakistan, are humiliated.****At Edgbaston Yasir was different, calmer. The ball didnt come out of his hand as perfectly as Lords, but he was willing to be the guy who keeps it tight. At going at under two-and-a-half an over, he kept England stuck, and the quicks attacked from the other end. Sohail Khan came back from obscurity to bowl until he was exhausted, and until he had five wickets.Pakistan batted as Yasir bowled, consistently, waited for the mistakes from England. Azhar Ali went big when paired up with Sami Aslam. When Yasir arrived at the crease his side were 60 in front. He and Sarfraz were reunited as they had been in Lords. A solid hour of batting might have been enough to win the game. But instead they both lost their heads and Yasir was run out. From that moment, England were in complete control of the match.Yasirs second innings spell was a disaster..dddddddddddd He was part of Misbahs plan Operation dullness, but once England cut loose, he seemed to have no way to stop them, or slow them, he just went back to Old Trafford mode: 43 overs 2 for 172.When he went back out to bat, it was after the third of Pakistans collapse of 4 for 1. The game was over, and he was part of the procession, not the resistance.Yasir, and Pakistan, had blown it.****Pakistan batsmen seem hellbent on making one of their bowlers into a nightwatchman. By The Oval it was Yasir. After a good day with the ball where Wahab had one of those days, they then had to back up the batsmen when Sami Aslam fell. The light got grim, England were keen to make up for a miserable day, and the crowd were looking for any good news. But Yasir did it. And the next day, he went on and ensured that Pakistan owned the first hour before being replaced by Asad Shafiq. When Younis Khan paired with Shafiq, magic happened, and the magic didnt end until Younis was gone.Not long after Younis was out, Yasir was back bowling. His first ball was short and horrible. A club batsman could have smashed it away. England had already lost Alastair Cook, but a bad start here for Yasir and monster partnership between Root and Alex Hales would make the Pakistanis think of Edgbaston. His next ball wasnt much better. It brought Hales on strike.Then he bowled three top class legspin deliveries; all three landed beautifully, curved and dipped, before spinning and bouncing. Hales played each one nervously. The next ball was straight. Hales missed it: out. The next over Vince played his untrusty cover drive: out.In Yasirs fifth over he bowled two quick flat legspinners in at off stump. Root played both of them well enough. The third ball looked the same, just another flat legspinner on off stump, but it was the straight one, and Root was out. Pakistan had virtually won the Test. The last wicket to fall, the following day, was Iftikhar Ahmeds, the first wicket to spin that wasnt Yasirs in the series.They had only drawn the series, but the looks on their faces of complete jubilation as they did their victory lap showed they believed they were the winners.Yasir became the darling of England after one Test, was destroyed, tried to fight back unsuccessfully and then was good enough to hold his own when it really mattered. He is not the complete package, there is work to be done, but he fights, and he comes back. His story is Pakistans.Pakistan drew, but they did way more than that. They started the series by making Yasir No. 1; they ended it with Pakistan as Test crickets virtual No. 1. For a few days, until theres a result in Colombo - and even an Australia win would leave them level at the top - or India perhaps beat West Indies in the next Test, they will theoretically hold it. It doesnt matter that the ICC wont change the rankings until the end of the India series, or that they wont receive the mace, they know what they have done.Like Yasir, Pakistan might not yet deserve to be No. 1 for a long time. So far they have won more hearts and minds than away series. But they earned this short moment. The No. 1 crown might be fleeting, but when youve never worn it before, a second feels like a lifetime.Nothing in Pakistan cricket lasts a lifetime, nothing in Pakistan cricket comes easy. Pakistan are only No. 1 for a moment, but what a moment. ' ' '
