Huskies dominate Gamecocks to take PapaJohns.com BowlNCAA Football Betting Lines01/02/2010 - Birmingham, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andre Dixon ran for 126 yards and a touchdown, as Connecticut dominated South Carolina, 20-7, in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Zach Frazer completed just 9-of-21 passes for 107 yards, but threw for a touchdown and no interceptions to help the Huskies (8-5) take their third bowl win in four appearances. The victory ended a season for UConn that was marked by the tragedy of cornerback Jasper Howard being killed on campus, only hours after the Huskies beat Louisville on October 17. UConn lost its next three games, but after an open week capped its season with four consecutive victories. Stephen Garcia was limited to 129 yards on 16-of-38 completions, with one interception, as South Carolina (7-6) ended its season by losing four of five. Brian Maddox ran for the Gamecocks' lone touchdown. UConn got on the board near the middle of the first quarter, when Frazer found Kashif Moore for a 37-yard touchdown strike. That capped a nine-play, 66-yard drive, and the Gamecocks turned the ball over on downs after failing to convert a 4th-and-1. The Huskies took over at the South Carolina 32-yard line and reached the 16 before the drive stalled. Dave Teggart came out and kicked a 33-yard field goal with 3:35 left for a 10-0 lead. Teggart's 44-yarder a little more than six minutes into the second quarter made it 13-0. The Gamecocks got into UConn territory on the ensuing drive, but again turned the ball over on downs, and it remained a 13-point game at the break. The third quarter was scoreless, but Garcia fumbled late in the frame to give UConn the ball at the South Carolina 35. The Huskies then turned to Dixon, who ran eight times in the drive. His last was a 10-yard run to get across the goal line and make it a 20-0 contest less than two minutes into the fourth. The UConn defense did the rest. The Gamecocks were forced into a three-and- out, then had another drive end on an interception by Robert Vaughn. South Carolina did score with 3:24 to play, after Garcia's 38-yard pass to D.L. Moore set up Maddox's two-yard touchdown run. But the Huskies, feeding Dixon again, ran out the clock from there to secure the win. Game Notes South Carolina fell to 4-11 all-time in bowl games...UConn compiled 253 total yards and held the ball for nearly 35 1/2 minutes...South Carolina totaled 205 yards, including just 76 on the ground.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
