WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The good news for Purdue is that the Boilermakers are just three wins from becoming eligible for a bowl game.The bad news is how beat up Purdue is following its 34-31 overtime victory at Illinois over the weekend.Purdue likely lost leading receiver Dominique Young (29 receptions for 338 yards and a touchdown) for the season with a right knee injury suffered during the second half at Illinois. Coach Darrell Hazell said Monday he was waiting for an MRI result before confirming Youngs status.Purdue hopes to have leading rusher Markell Jones (shoulder) and standout middle linebacker JaWhaun Bentley (ankle) back in action this weekend against Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) after each missed the Illinois game. Jones has rushed for 339 yards in four games and Bentley has 27 tackles.Running back Brian Lankford-Johnson started in Jones place and carried 18 times for 127 yards and a touchdown but left the game in the second half with a sprained shoulder and was replaced by Richie Worship. Hazell said he was confident Lankford-Johnson will be ready to play against Iowa.Defensive backs Myles Norwood and Tim Cason also missed some playing time at Illinois because of an assortment of bumps and bruises, but Hazell also hopes to have one or both back against the Hawkeyes.Its still early in the week, he said. Its a day by day thing, but they were in good spirits (Sunday).If either Norwood or Cason is unable to play, freshman cornerback Josh Hayes will get more action.For now, the Boilermakers (3-2, 1-1) are trying to enjoy the win. Quarterback David Blough said after suffering a 50-7 loss on Oct. 1 at Maryland, the comeback victory at Illinois is tremendously significant.There was nothing like getting a shot at redemption after (the loss at Maryland), said Blough, who ran for a touchdown and passed for another. Illinois was probably the most fun game Ive played at Purdue.The Boilermakers are now 3-23 in Big Ten games during Hazells four seasons at Purdue.Game notes Freshman kicker J.D. Dellinger has been selected Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after his field goal in overtime won the game at Illinois ... In keeping with the Boilermaker train theme at Purdue, Hazell said Monday that Purdues version of the Wildcat formation is known as Amtrak, and another gimmick formation with offensive linemen aligned outside the norm is called The Polar Express. Purdue used both formations at Illinois. Nike Shoes From China .

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee is turning one of its biggest weaknesses from last season into a strength.Alexa Middleton scored a career-high 21 points as No. 13 Tennessee capitalized on sizzling 3-point shooting Sunday to beat Navy 85-55 and win a home opener for the 17th consecutive season. Tennessee (2-0) hasnt lost a home opener since a 69-64 decision against Louisiana Tech in 1999.The Lady Volunteers shot 12 of 14 from 3-point range, with Middleton going 6 of 7. After making just 25.4 percent of its 3-pointers last season to rank last in the Southeastern Conference, Tennessee has shot 56.4 percent (22 of 39) from 3-point range this season.I know a lot of people last year said we couldnt shoot the ball, Middleton said. Were trying to make sure we can hit those open shots because people are sagging in on (center Mercedes Russell), and shes going to kick the ball out. Weve got to be able to hit those shots if we want to do well.This marks the first time Tennessee has made at least 10 3-point baskets in consecutive games since November 2011. Tennessee shot 10 of 25 from 3-point range Friday in a season-opening victory at James Madison.Russell had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Tennessee. Jordan Reynolds had 12 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Diamond DeShields added 14 points.Ashanti Kennedy scored 16 points and Taylor Dunham added 14 for Navy (0-2).This game was a mismatch in terms of height.Navys tallest player was 6-foot freshman forward Laurel Jaunich, and its other four starters were 5-8 or shorter. Tennessees starting lineup included four players taller than 6 feet, including the 6-6 Russell.Navy still briefly led in the second quarter and only trailed 43-35 at the half, which caused the Lady Vols to receive a stern halftime lecture from coach Holly Warlick.My expectations for them are high, and these kids understand it, Warlick said. I saw things I havent seen in practice for whatever reason. Im just not going to tolerate no effort.Tennessee gradually put the game out of reach as Navy cooled off. After shooting 5 of 11 from 3-point range in the first half, Navy was 1 of 9 the rest of the way.ddddddddddddPlaying against Tennessee, everyone was really excited, Dunham said. We had a lot of energy and we were hitting shots. Everyone was making big plays. I wouldnt say our energy was that much different in the second half, but Tennessee definitely picked theirs up.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: A lack of height will force Navy to rely on its outside shooting this season. Tennessee outrebounded Navy 47-29. Through its first two games, Navy has been outrebounded 94-51 and has shot 19 of 46 from 3-point range.Tennessee: Middleton has shown remarkable scoring punch in the first two games of the season after averaging just 3 points per game last season and 3.8 points per game in 2014-15. The 5-9 junior had 18 points off the bench against James Madison and was even more productive Sunday. Middleton is 10 of 11 from 3-point range thus far.PAYING TRIBUTETennessee went through its pregame shooting drills wearing special Veterans Day T-shirts. The back of the shirts said Thank You and mentioned the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.Navy wore purple T-shirts with the message We Back Pat to honor former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who died June 28 after battling early-onset dementia, Alzheimers type.The Lady Vols gave Navys players miniature basketballs with messages thanking them for their serviceThere are so many crazy things going on right now, Warlick said. Weve all got to pull together. ... Our military is there to help us and to make sure I can be a female coaching womens basketball, and these young ladies -- black or white -- can go out and perform, and they have that opportunity and we pay for their education. That comes from people fighting for our freedom.UP NEXTNavy hosts Hofstra on Friday.Tennessee is at East Tennessee State on Tuesday.---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
