Jacobi Owens, the leader of one of the nation's best rush- ing attacks, had 83 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons lost their last three games, including the Mountain West Confer- ence championship to San Diego State, and dropped to 1-9 at TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium. Cal took control on a se- quence that started with Goff's perfect deep throw to Maurice Harris, who reached out with his left hand to redirect the ball to his body and cradled it on his way out of bounds for a 40-yard gain to the Air Force 5. Goff found Darius Powe on the next play for one of Powe's two scores and a 21- 14 lead. The Bears got the ball back immediately on a fumble when Roberts lost control trying to run the option, and Goff hit Lawler in stride in the end zone for a 24-yard score. Lawler had five catches for 75 yards. After an Air Force punt, Goff moved the Bears 78 yards on three comple- tions, with a 55-yarder to Treggs setting up a 14-yard score to Lawler. Treggs had 143 yards and a touch- down. Cal FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have signed defen- sive back Dewey McDonald from the practice squad. McDonald fills the open roster spot created when fullback Marcel Reece was suspended four games for violating the league's pol- icy on performance-en- hancing drugs. McDonald has played in 14 games over his ca- reer with the Indianapo- lis Colts and New England Patriots. He played one game for New England this season before being signed to the Raiders practice squad ear- lier this month. The Raiders have also signed defensive back Chris Hackett to the prac- tice squad. NFL Raiders promote McDonald to roster are giving up 20.2 points a game, tied for 18th nation- ally. "It's about getting the W," Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander said. "It ain't always gonna be pretty. When I hear people say, 'Aww, you guys gave up all these points,' I'm like, 'We're the number one team in the country.' Every- body is gonna play us hard, have tricks, do everything they can. For the last six weeks, everybody has been throwing everything at us, everything they've got." Only two teams in the last 30 years have won na- tional titles while allowing at least 20 points a game, but both have come in the last five seasons — mir- roring the game's ever-in- creasing emphasis on of- fense. Ohio State won the championship a year ago despite giving up 22.0 points per contest, rank- ing 26th nationally. Cam Newton-led Auburn fin- ished No. 1 in 2010 while surrendering an average of 24.1 points, which placed a mediocre 53rd in the na- tional rankings. Of course, it's still a bet- ter bet that a team will claim the title by stopping the other team from scor- ing. Between Auburn and Ohio State, three straight national champions (Ala- bama in 2011-12, Florida State in 2013) ranked No. 1 in points allowed. In the last three decades, just five other champions finished higher than 10th nation- ally in points allowed. None of that seems to faze these teams. "We've very flexible on defense," Alexander said. "What we're able to do on defense, nobody can match that. There are defensive coordinators in college football who are like, 'Man, I wish I could be coaching you guys.' We've got a lot of great players." Playing in the run-and- gun Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma is used to fac- ing dynamic offenses. This might be their toughest challenge yet. Start with Watson, a Heis- man Trophy finalist and probably the most danger- ous two-way threat in the country. He can beat you with his arm (3,512 yards passing, 30 touchdowns), he can beat you with his legs (887 yards rushing, 11 TDs). He has weapons all around, including run- ning back Wayne Gall- man (1,332 yards rushing, 10 TDs) and nine players with double-figure recep- tions led by Artavis Scott (84 receptions). Mayfield and the Soon- ers are just as daunting. The junior quarterback has passed for 3,389 yards with 35 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He, too, can take off and run, which led Boulware to describe him as "kind of Manzielesque" — a nod to former Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel. Three Oklahoma receivers have hauled in more than 40 passes, while Samaje Perine has rushed for 1,291 yards and 15 TDs. Hard to see this being a defensive struggle. That's not to say it won't come down to a big defen- sive play. "Whenever you've got two great offenses," said Clemson linebacker B.J. Goodson, "it's always gonna be about who's mak- ing big stops in big mo- ments." Orange FROM PAGE 1 Iowa (12-1) will face Stanford (11-2) on Friday in the 102nd edition of the Granddaddy of Them All. This is nothing new to the Cardinal, who are in Pasa- dena for the third time in four postseasons, but it's a dream fulfilled for the Hawkeyes and coach Kirk Ferentz, who is capping his 17th season in charge with his first Rose Bowl trip as a head coach. "What's enjoyable about coaching is watching a lot of people that have worked hard, that have earned the right to be rewarded in a nice way, be rewarded in the nicest way possible," Ferentz said. Nobody on the current Iowa roster had been born when the Hawkeyes made their last appearance in Pasadena on Jan. 1, 1991, losing to Washington. Yet eight current Hawkeyes have fathers who were on Iowa teams that played in the Rose Bowl during the 1980s, a reflection of the family connections and loyalty prized at Iowa. That tradition has re- quired patience at times, but that makes the payoff even sweeter for Iowa. "You have to think you're going to get to the Rose Bowlifyou'reintheBigTen, because that's the goal," de- fensive back Jordan Lo- max said. "But to actually be here, that's the great- est part. That's the achieve- ment that we all want and we work on for so long. It feels great to reach it." Iowa is back because of its remarkable 12-0 reg- ular season, an achieve- ment that reserves a spot in Hawkeye history for this team no matter what hap- pens this week. A heart- breaking loss to Michi- gan State in the Big Ten ti- tle game didn't knock the Hawkeyes out of the Pasa- dena picture, but the pain has been a motivational tool for the past month. Rose FROM PAGE 1 time NFL executive Tom Donahoe will assume the role of senior director of player personnel. Kelly gained full control of personnel decisions last offseason, winning a power struggle with then-general manager Howie Roseman. But Kelly tore apart a win- ning team and several of his bold moves backfired. Since March 2014, Kelly released three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver De- Sean Jackson, traded two- time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, didn't re- sign 2014 Pro Bowl wideout Jeremy Maclin, cut two- time Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis and traded quarter- back Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round draft pick for Sam Bradford. He also gave big money in free agency to running back DeMarco Murray and cornerback Byron Max- well. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell has un- derperformed. Kelly even signed Tim Tebow, but re- leased him after he won the competition for the No. 3 quarterback job. Kelly didn't want play- ers perceived as "me-first" guys. He alienated some of his players, though the only ones who spoke out against him did it after they were gone. McCoy, the franchise's all-time leading rusher and a fan favorite, made head- lines when he said there's a reason Kelly got rid of "all the good black play- ers." Cornerback Brandon Boykin, who was traded to Pittsburgh, said Kelly was "uncomfortable" around black players. Other players supported Kelly and moves such as signing Murray and Max- well contradicted McCoy's claim. But Kelly's reputa- tion took a hit anyway. Shortly after Kelly was fired, Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho tweeted: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power cor- rupts absolutely." Suspended Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gor- don tweeted: "Shady, Ma- clin, Foles, Djax.. Smh."
