CINCINNATI -- Greg Ward Jr. threw an interception in the end zone. Cincinnati responded by going down the field, getting a touchdown and grabbing the lead and the momentum.For the first time this season, No. 6 Houston was on the road and feeling the pressure. How would the Cougars respond?Ward ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and the Cougars fabulous defense returned a couple of interceptions for touchdowns as they pulled away to a 40-16 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday night.The fourth quarter exemplified a veteran team thats played in big games, coach Tom Herman said. They go down and score and we come back and take the lead.Nobody was under the spotlight more than Ward, who sat out a 42-0 victory over Lamar on Saturday because of a sore shoulder. He came through pregame warmups without an issue, and got treatment on the sideline between series.They were keeping my shoulder warm on the sideline, Ward said. It tends to get tight. I was thankful to be out there.The Cougars (3-0, 1-0 American Athletic) trailed 16-12 early in the fourth quarter before Ward and the defense took over.Ward dispelled any worries about his arm with a 39-yard touchdown pass on the Cougars second series. He was 24 of 36 for 326 yards with two interceptions, and he ran 26 times for 73 yards.We put in a defense just for him, some guys that were faster, Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville said. We did a good job in pass coverage and hed just pull it down and run. Thats hard to defend.Houstons defense took away any semblance of a running game from Cincinnati (2-1, 0-1) and accounted for 16 points on its own -- a safety and the two interception returns by Steven Taylor and Howard Wilson.The Cougars havent allowed any of their last five opponents to rush for 100 yards. Cincinnati managed only 30 yards rushing, putting too much pressure on redshirt sophomore Hayden Moore, whose two fourth-quarter interceptions allowed the Cougars to pull away.Moore had never faced a defense so good. He made an impact early with a 61-yard touchdown pass , but the lack of a running game was tough to overcome. Moore finished 21 of 37 for 275 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and three sacks.You cant beat any good team if you cant run the football, Tuberville said. They put all the pressure on our quarterback and receivers and they dictated the game to us.THE TAKEAWAYHOUSTON: Oh that defense. The Cougars didnt need to get a lot out of their offense -- and Ward wasnt at his best -- in order to win a tough league game on the road. Thats another good sign in a season that opened with a 33-23 win over Oklahoma.It was ugly for a long time, Herman said. I think well be OK if we can take care of the self-inflicted wounds.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats have been overly reliant on a pass-heavy offense the last two years. The defenses showing on Thursday was encouraging -- it simply wore down. The defense also looked solid during a 38-20 win at Purdue on Saturday, coming up with five interceptions.We got a little tired at the end, Tuberville said. The defense was out there forever.POLL IMPLICATIONSHOUSTON: The Cougars have their highest ranking since they were No. 3 in 1990. Any chance to move up? The top three teams in the poll -- Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State -- all play road games against ranked teams this week, while Michigan and Clemson are at home.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats got one vote in this weeks poll, and did nothing to suggest they deserve more.UP NEXTHOUSTON: The Cougars will be looking for another easy time at Texas State on Sept. 24. Last year, Ward led them to a 59-14 win by throwing for four touchdowns and running for two more as Houston piled up 689 yards.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats host Miami of Ohio on Sept. 24 for the Victory Bell. Theyve won 10 in a row over their local rival, although Moore had to overcome four fourth-quarter turnovers last year to pull out a 37-33 win in Oxford.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgTreDavious White Bills Jersey .

The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener.George Kruis is available against Argentina on Saturday with Eddie Jones considering his immediate return to Englands starting XV.Kruis has missed the autumn victories over South Africa and Fiji after undergoing minor ankle surgery and his club Saracens estimated that he would be sidelined for four to eight weeks.The second row, an ever-present under Jones until injury struck, has made a rapid recovery while ensconced at Englands Surrey training base and Jones must decide whether to break up the Courtney Lawes-Joe Launchbury partnership that has served him well so far this autumn.Kruis is probably going to be available - hes fit and ready to go. He doesnt necessarily need to play for his club first, Jones said. Its not necessarily better to bring him off the bench. You talk to the players and they like to play with the best players at the start of the game. Well wait and see.Weve got great competition in there because Launchbury and Courtney Lawes have done superbly for us.Neither Joe nor Courtney had great training weeks. They both had ailments that clouded our selection a bit, so their efffort against Fiji was good.ddddddddddddJones has already pencilled in his starting XV to face Argentina at Twickenham with Mike Brown set to return at the expense of Alex Goode at full-back.I think I know the team, but its always up for grabs. The players have until 2.20pm on Saturday to get picked! Jones said.A few players may have clouded it a little bit after the Fiji game. I thought Elliot Daly was good on the left wing.Whether thats his best position, Im not sure, but it certainly worked. I was pleased with him and with Jonathan Joseph, whose defence was absolutely outstanding.Jonny May has had a good training week. Hes definitely fitter, definitely ready to go. And Mike Brown is in good nick, so theyll be back competing for selection.When asked about the duel between Brown and Goode, Jones replied: Where do I see it? Intriguing.Theres always one above the other. Its like life. Someone is always above the other. Youll find out when I pick the side next week. ' ' '
