Coach Darrell Hazell may have found another piece to Purdues puzzle.Now that he has settled on a quarterback, hes developing the rest of Boilermakers backfield -- just in time to host defending Big Ten West Division champion Iowa on Saturday. The results look promising.We got a heck of a job from our running game, quarterback David Blough said, referring to the performance in last weeks overtime victory at Illinois. It was running back by committee, but they moved the ball well for us. Because we were able to run the ball, it opened up some things in the passing game.This week, the committee could expand a bit if Markell Jones returns as expected.Before spring practice, the Boilermakers (3-2, 1-1) thought they had it all figured out. Blough, the incumbent, would keep his job and the carries were to be split between Jones and running back D.J. Knox. Instead, Knox tore his ACL in the spring game, Blough started slowly and Jones injured his shoulder in Week 2.After trying to play through the pain for two more games, Hazell finally took Jones out last week, giving Brian Lankford-Johnson and Richie Worship a chance to demonstrate what they could do. Lankford-Johnson ran for 127 yards against the Illini while the 245-pound Worship bowled over defenders.It gave us an assurance that we can use those other guys and not feel like youre going to lose too much in the running game, Hazell said.The Boilermakers are hoping it could be a winning combination against the Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-1) , who have not played up to their usual standards.Quarterback C.J. Beathard is throwing for 181.5 yards per game, Iowa is second-to-last in the conference in yards rushing (149.2) and the run defense is No. 8 after allowing almost 170 yards per game. So if the Hawkeyes plan to stay in the division chase, coach Kirk Ferentz knows things must get fixed -- and soon.Obviously the clock is running right now, Ferentz said. Were running a really tight race here. Weve only got six weeks left, so were pushing as fast and as hard as we can.Here are some other things to watch Saturday:ROAD WARRIORSIowa has won eight straight road games, tying a school record that was set from 1920-23. It also is tied for the third-longest active streak in the nation behind only No. 2 Ohio State (19) and No. 1 Alabama (nine), and seven of those eight wins are against Big Ten foes -- yet another school record. And to extend those marks, all they have to do now is win their fourth straight at Ross-Ade Stadium.BACK-TO-BACKHazell still has not won back-to-back games in West Lafayette and after 3 1/2 seasons, anxious fans figure its about time. As Hazell promised, things have changed this season. The Boilermakers are 2-1 at home and last weekend celebrated a game-winning field goal for the first time in Hazells tenure. Now comes the next test: Winning consecutive games for the first time in 42 tries.SPECIAL CHALLENGEDespite having only one kickoff return and one punt return this season, Iowas Riley McCarron leads the Big Ten in both (38.0 yards on punts and 54.0 on kickoffs). The regular returner -- CB Desmond King -- also is having a big year. Hes ranked seventh in the conference in kickoff returns (28.6) and just outside the top 10 on punt returns (10.2). King, last years Jim Thorpe Award winner as the nations top defensive back, also has allowed 10 catches for 70 yards in six games.INJURIESWhile Jones and Lankford-Johnson (sprained shoulder) are expected to play, the injury news on Purdues other fronts isnt so good. On Wednesday, Hazell said receiver Domonique Young will miss the rest of the season with ligament damage in his right knee. Cornerback Myles Norwood will sit out with multiple injuries, and linebacker JaWhaun Bentley (sprained right ankle) is listed as doubtful.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Yeezy Pas Cher Chine . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.

Pas Cher Yeezy Boost 750 . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. CINCINNATI -- Once Cincinnati applied a little pressure, everything became easy.Jacob Evans III had nine points during a run that put Cincinnati in control midway through the second half, and the 24th-ranked Bearcats overcame cold shooting and a sloppy start to beat Albany 74-51 on Monday night.In the second half, we wanted to come out and play harder, Evans said. We came out and tried to turn up the defense. We scored off our defense.Evans 3-pointer started a 13-2 run that allowed the Bearcats (2-0) to finally shake loose. They went only 5 of 21 from beyond the arc, but Evans finished with 19 points.David Nichols scored 13 points and Joe Cremo had 12 for Albany (1-1), which self-destructed with 22 turnovers -- 11 in each half. Cremo had eight of them.They took the ball out of our hands, Albany coach Will Brown said. They got real physical with us. I think our inexperience on the perimeter as a whole with our starting group showed a little bit today.Cincinnati led only 29-27 at halftime as the Bearcats shot 33 percent from the field and got outrebounded 19-15. There was one tie and 10 lead changes, and neither team could make shots consistently. Cincinnati, however, outscored Albany 40-18 over the final 15 minutes of the game.The scouting report was that they were limited at the point guard position, said guard Troy Caupain, who had four steals. So in practice, we worked on getting after each other.NEW LEADEREvans had 23 points in the opening win, and led the offense again on Monday, asserting himself as a scoring threat in his seccond season.ddddddddddddThat takes the pressure off all of us, me included, Caupain said.PESKY DEFENSECincinnati guard Justin Jenifer scored only six points but had three steals and helped to lead the strong closing flourish. Bearcats coach Mick Cronin envisions Jenifer as a defensive specialist who can change the game with pressure on the ball.He has really embraced it, Cronin said. He was like Speedy Gonzalez out there. Thats what hes got to be. I thought Justin really gave us an influx of energy.POLL IMPLICATIONSCincinnati moved into the Top 25 on Monday after a season-opening 84-55 win over Brown. The Bearcats will have a chance to move up -- or get knocked out -- during their upcoming weekend tournament.BIG PICTUREAlbany: The Great Danes opened the season with their first victory over a Big Ten team, winning at Penn State 87-81 on Friday. They kept it close against Cincinnati for more than a half, before their turnovers helped Cincinnati pull away.Cincinnati: The Bearcats have struggled to hit outside shots the last few seasons, relying on their defense to generate points. They had the same issues on Monday, when they pulled away by getting 24 points off turnovers.UP NEXTAlbany: Hosts Oneonta on Wednesday in its first home game.Cincinnati: Plays No. 21 Rhode Island on Saturday in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Tip-Off in Connecticut.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
