LARAMIE, Wyo. -- San Diego State cemented itself as the top football program in the Mountain West Conference, while upstart Wyoming established itself as a program that will have to be reckoned with in the future.Rashaad Penny rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and Donnel Pumphrey added 110 yards and one TD as San Diego State beat Wyoming 27-24 on Saturday for its second consecutive Mountain West championship.Thats the way the championship should be -- two teams playing their hearts out until the end, San Diego State coach Rocky Long said. The Mountain West got the type of championship like it should.Penny also gained 113 yards on two kickoff returns and 13 receiving yards for a total of 243 all-purpose yards for the Aztecs (10-3).Penny, who is Pumphreys backup on offense, gained his rushing yards on just 16 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per carry.When youve got the best offensive line in the league, you cant thank them enough, Penny said. I love these guys. Its just an awesome feeling to get this win.San Diego States defense forced three Wyoming turnovers and held the Cowboys (8-5) to 2-of-14 on third down and 0-3 on fourth down. The Aztecs also recorded six sacks.We had tons of third downs and longs, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said. And whenever you have a third down and long and youre chasing the sticks, thats always an advantage to the defensive coach.Josh Allen led Wyoming with 248 yards passing and three touchdowns. But he also was picked off twice and lost a fumble.THE TAKEAWAYSan Diego State: The Aztecs avenged a 34-33 regular season loss to Wyoming three weeks ago. Their win Saturday also snapped a two-game losing streak. The conference title was San Diego States third in the last five years. San Diego State won its 10th game of the season and now has back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time while being a member of a conference in its Division I history since 1969.We have a great group of seniors, Long said. They came to our program when we werent very good and I told them we were going to be pretty good and they believed and theyve worked hard this whole time and they deserve everything they get.Wyoming: The Cowboys and third-year coach Bohl, who signed a contract extension on Friday, have nothing to hang their heads about. They surprised everyone by winning their conference division after finishing just 2-10 last year. It was Wyomings first Mountain West Conference title game and the first postseason game ever at its 67-year-old War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys last played in the conference title game back in 1996 when they were in the Western Athletic Conference.The real problem for the rest of us is that Wyoming is just going to get better and better and thats a problem for all the rest of us, Long said.PUMPHREY-NCAA RUSHING LISTPumphrey passed Ricky Williams for second place on the NCAA career rushing list with 6,290. He is now 108 yards from surpassing all-time rushing leader Ron Dayne, who had 6,397.UP NEXTSan Diego State: Bowl game to be determined.Wyoming: Bowl game to be determined.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Joe Kelly Jersey .

Martinez Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena.PHILADELPHIA -- A last-minute appeal in the NFL concussion case, filed by the son of an All-Star and civil rights activist, has sent the proposed settlement to the U.S. Supreme Court and delays payouts for at least several months.The family of late Buffalo Bills fullback Carlton Cookie Gilchrist asked the high court on Tuesday to review whether the judge should have approved the potential $1 billion settlement without a full challenge to the scientific evidence presented jointly by both sides.This enormous settlement was settled without a shred of evidence [presented] by the NFL. Its just astounding ... because theres so much at stake here, Jared Beck, the lawyer for the family of Gilchrist, said Wednesday.The appeal, for instance, questions why more money is awarded for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, than for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, which some researchers link more closely with football concussions. At least two sets of other plaintiffs were granted extensions of the Tuesday deadline and can appeal through next month.Players lawyers who support the 2013 settlement negotiated with the league on behalf of 21,000 retirees insist their clients need financial and medical help now. Lawyer Jim Acho of Detroit, who sent a letter to clients on Tuesday that said no further appeals had been filed and the payouts were imminent, called the Gilchrist appeal unbelievable.The Supreme Court is not going to hear these, said Acho, who represents about two dozen clients, including former?Chicago Bears?star Gale Sayers. Its just dragging this out unnecessarily, because the settlement is fair.The player lawsuits had initiially accused the NFL of hiding what it knew about the link between concussions and CTE.dddddddddddd The settlement awards up to $5 million for those with ALS, $4 million for past CTE deaths and $3.5 million for advanced Alzheimers disease. The average payouts would be closer to $190,000.Critics complain that the settlement, approved by Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia, does not cover future CTE cases, even though it might be able to be diagnosed in the living within 10 years. The lead negotiators said they instead set aside compensation or treatment for some CTE symptoms. That does not include the depression, aggression and mood swings reported by some former players who experienced repeated concussions.The attorney for the family of Gilchrist said the lead lawyers are simply eager to divide fees that are expected to top $112 million.Cookie Gilchrist, an early civil rights activist, led a 1965 boycott that moved the American Football Leagues All-Star game to Houston after black players were denied restaurant and taxi service in New Orleans. His 2011 death was attributed to cancer, but he was posthumously found to have CTE, Beck said.Gilchrist died penniless in a Pittsburgh-area nursing home after battling psychological, emotional and personal problems that Beck linked to CTE.He was a man of extraordinary character and determination, the Miami lawyer said. His son Scott has taken up the mantle. In many ways, he sees this as a vindication of his fathers strengths and beliefs. ' ' '
