Mayfield, Jackson, Love named Heisman Trophy finalists
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
Oklahoma
quarterback
Baker
Mayfield
made
Heisman Trophy history just
by being selected as a finalist.
Mayfield,
reigning
Heisman winner Lamar
Jackson of Louisville and
Stanford running back Bryce
Love were chosen as finalists
for the 83rd Heisman Trophy
on Monday night.
The award for most
outstanding college football
player will be given out
Saturday night in New York.
Mayfield and Jackson
are finalists for the second
straight year, and Jackson is
trying to become the second
player to win two Heismans,
joining former Ohio State star
Archie Griffin.
Mayfield, though, will
come to Manhattan as the
clear favorite. He finished
fourth in the Heisman voting
in 2015, but was not invited
to New York. Last year, he
was one of five finalists and
finished third behind Jackson
and Clemson’s Deshaun
Watson.
Mayfield is the seventh
player to finish in the top
five of Heisman voting
three times , joining Glenn
Davis and Doc Blanchard of
Army, Doak Walker of SMU,
Griffin, Herschel Walker of
Georgia and Tim Tebow of
Florida.
The Heisman has been
naming finalists and bringing
them to New York for the
presentation since 1982.
Mayfield is the ninth Okla-
homa player to be selected as
a finalist, matching Miami for
the most from one school.
Mayfielld
Love
Jackson
Mayfield is trying to
become the sixth Heisman
winner from Oklahoma and
third Sooners quarterback
(Jason White and Sam Brad-
ford) to win since 2003.
This season, Mayfield has
led the No. 2 Sooners (12-1)
to the Big 12 championship
and the College Football
Playoff. Oklahoma plays
Georgia (12-1) in the Rose
Bowl semifinal on Jan. 1.
Mayfield leads the nation in
efficiency rating at 203.76
Pro Football
and has thrown for 4,340
yards and 41 touchdowns.
Jackson’s numbers have
been better than last season
in some categories, but
Louisville (8-4) has not had
the big wins to go with it.
With little fanfare, the quar-
terback is averaging 411 total
yards — up from 393 last
season— and accounted for
42 touchdowns.
“I’m honored to be chosen
as a finalist with these two
outstanding players,” Jackson
said in a statement. “They
both had great seasons and
deserve this tremendous
honor. I want to thank all
my teammates and coaches
for achieving this honor
together.”
Griffin won back-to-back
Heisman trophies for Ohio
State in 1974 and ‘75.
Love is second in the
nation in rushing at 164.42
yards per game and is aver-
aging 8.32 yards per carry
for the 15th-ranked Cardinal.
An ankle injury slowed Love
the last month of the season,
but he still led the nation in
rushes of at least 50 yards
with 12. He also scored 17
touchdowns.
Not making that cut was
a couple of talented running
backs.
Penn State’s Saquon
Barkley is second in the
nation in all-purpose yards
(179.5) and is fifth with 21
touchdowns, including two
kickoff return touchdowns for
the No. 9 Nittany Lions. He
was also 2 for 2 passing with
a touchdown. He was consid-
ered the favorite heading into
the final month of the season,
but the Nittany Lions lost
twice, and his production fell
off until a late surge.
San Diego State’s Rashaad
Penny leads the nation in
rushing (168.9) and all-pur-
pose yards (224.8). Against
Nevada three weeks ago, he
scored on a rush, a kickoff
return and a punt return.
Penny had big games against
Pac-12 teams Stanford and
Arizona State early in the
season but was held in check
by San Diego State’s top
Mountain West rivals, Fresno
State and Boise State.

Steelers rally to stun Bengals Ducks headed to Vegas Bowl
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Chris
Boswell kicked a field goal
on the final play shortly after
Antonio Brown caught a
6-yard touch-
down
pass
NFL
— taking a
hit to the head
while landing
Pittsburgh in the end
zone — and
the Pittsburgh
Steelers
pulled
off
another
Cincinnati
improbable
comeback
against
the
Cincinnati
Bengals, rallying for a 23-20
victory Monday night.
Down 17-0 early, the
Steelers (10-2) extended
their best start since 2004
in a physical game with a
couple frightening injuries.
Brown’s touchdown tied it at
20 with 3:51 to go, setting up
Boswell’s 38-yard field goal,
his second straight winner in
the closing seconds.
The Bengals (5-7) simply
can’t find a way to beat their
Ohio River rival, not even
after getting off to the big
early lead. They’ve dropped
six straight and nine of 10
against Pittsburgh, including
the Steelers’ 18-16 playoff
win at Paul Brown Stadium
in 2015 that included another
Bengals meltdown.
The hard-hitting game
was full of personal fouls,
penalties and injuries that
could have a long-term effect,
especially for the AFC North
leaders.
Pittsburgh lost leading
tackler Ryan Shazier to a
back injury in the first quarter.
The linebacker was taken off
the field on a cart and taken
to a hospital for evaluation.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell, left, cele-
brates his game-winning field goal alongside Cincin-
nati Bengals cornerback Josh Shaw (26) in Monday’s
game in Cincinnati.
Burfict was carted off in
the fourth quarter after JuJu
Smith-Schuster leveled him
with a high hit, then taunted
him by walking over him.
Steelers coach Mike
Tomlin did not have an update
on Shazier’s status after the
game.
There were 11 personal
fouls in another acrimonious
rematch in their hard-edged
series. The Bengals self-de-
structed with 13 penalties for
a team-record 173 yards.
The AFC North-leading
Steelers remain tied with New
England for best record in
the conference. They host the
Patriots on Dec. 17.
Bottled up by Cincinnati’s
aggressive defense in the first
half, Pittsburgh’s playmakers
made the difference down
the stretch, just as they have
all season. They rallied to
beat the Packers 31-28 last
Sunday on Boswell’s 53-yard
field goal on the final play,
which was set up by Brown’s
incredible sideline catch.
After missing practice
last week with an injured
toe, Brown ran gingerly in
pregame warmups and had
another big game, finishing
with 101 yards in eight catches.
Le’Veon Bell ran for 76 yards
and had another 106 yards
on five catches, including a
35-yard touchdown play in
which he remarkably kept his
balance along the sideline —
cornerback William Jackson
pulled up, thinking there was
no way he could stay inbound.
It’s the first time that Bell
and Brown each had 100
yards receiving in the same
game. Ben Roethlisberger
was 24 of 40 for 290 yards
with a pair of touchdowns and
an interception.
PRIME TIME OPPO-
SITES
The Steelers have won 11
straight prime-time games,
including four already this
season against the Lions
(Sunday night), the Titans
(Thursday night) and the
Packers (last Sunday night).
It’s been a horrific time slot for
the Bengals, who are 11-24 on
Monday night, dropping their
past four.
UP NEXT
Steelers host second-place
Baltimore (7-5) next Sunday
night in their fourth prime-
time game of the season.
Bengals host the Bears
(3-9), completing a stretch of
three straight home games.
EUGENE — Oregon
is going to the Las Vegas
Bowl.
But what are the odds
Willie Taggart will be
in Sin City to coach the
Ducks on Dec. 16 against
No. 25 Boise State at Sam
Boyd Stadium?
Taggart, who is report-
edly the top candidate
to replace Jimbo Fisher
at Florida State, didn’t
provide
the
guaran-
teed-lock fans and recruits
want that he will remain at
Oregon.
“I can’t give you some-
thing that I don’t have,”
Taggart said during a news
conference on Sunday
at the Hatfield-Dowlin
Complex. “Nothing has
changed.”
Taggart is obviously
waiting to see what
happens with the Semi-
noles’ coaching search
before signing a contract
extension that has been
offered by Oregon.
Until
the
vacancy
in Tallahassee is filled,
Taggart’s
answer
on
whether he will be
coaching the Ducks in the
bowl game or during the
2018 season is the same:
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Further complicating
preparation for the Las
Vegas bowl are final exams
at Oregon this week. The
team will not practice
again until next Saturday
and will not be able to get
all 15 of the allowed bowl
practices in.
The coaching staff will

• TV: ABC
also have to cancel a big
recruiting weekend ahead
of the new Dec. 20 early-
signing period. Taggart
said he had an 11 p.m.
flight on Sunday to go visit
prospects.
“That’s the dilemma
that we’re in because of
the bowl game and when it
is and the signing period,”
Taggart said. “It’s really
important that I get out and
see all of our committed
guys and get into their
homes.”
The Ducks practiced
three times without having
an opponent to prepare for.
Taggart expects left tackle
Tyrell Crosby, who is from
Las Vegas, and running
back Royce Freeman to
both play in the bowl
instead of skipping it to
focus on the NFL draft.
“It’s a bowl game I
know our guys really
wanted to play in,” Taggart
said. “We get to play
against a top-25 football
team in Boise State. It’s
going to be fun. Our guys
are fired up for it and it’s
another great opportunity
for us.”
In the two previous
meetings between the
programs,
the
Chris
Petersen-coached Broncos
won 37-32 at Autzen
Stadium on Sept. 21, 2008,
and 19-8 in Boise on Sept.
3, 2009.
After the loss on the blue
turf in Chip Kelly’s debut
as Oregon’s head coach,
running back LeGarrette
Blount punched Boise
State’s Byron Hout.
“Blue,” Taggart said
when asked what comes
to mind when he thinks of
Boise State. “The turf that
they have and winning.
They’re a program that’s
won a lot of football
games.”
The Ducks were in line
to go to the Cactus Bowl
on Dec. 26 in Phoenix
but moved up a spot in
the Pac-12 pecking order
when Petersen’s Wash-
ington team was selected
for the Fiesta Bowl, one
of the coveted New Year’s
Six Bowls.
This will be Oregon’s
third appearance in the Las
Vegas Bowl. The Ducks
defeated Air Force 41-13
in 1997 and lost 38-8 to
BYU in 2006.
Boise State (10-3)
defeated Fresno State
17-14 in the Mountain
West championship game
on Saturday night.
Oregon, which finished
the regular season 7-5 after
missing out on a bowl last
season at 4-8, will be at or
near full strength with a
healthy Justin Herbert at
quarterback.
The Ducks were 6-1
and averaged 51.2 points
during the regular season
when Herbert started and
were 1-4 and averaged
15.0 points when the
sophomore was out with a
fractured collarbone.
“I think it’s always
good to go against really
good competition and I
do think it will give us an
idea where we’re at with
our football team,” Taggart
said. “Whenever you can
play a top-25 team, I think
it’s great for your team,
your program.
“It’s great if you win it.
If you don’t win it then it’s
not good.”
