BLACKSBURG, Va. Paul George Shoes For Sale . -- Jerod Evans thinks Virginia Tech is still learning how effective and explosive it can be on offense.Evans tied a school record with five touchdown passes Saturday and the Hokies limited Boston College to 124 yards and six first downs in a 49-0 victory. Evans played just the first three quarters, leaving with the Hokies (2-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) leading 42-0. He hit Isaiah Ford twice for touchdowns and also found Travon McMillian, Chris Cunningham and Sam Rogers. McMillian also scored on a 7-yard run.The offensive performance came after the Hokies fumbled the ball away nine times in splitting their first two games.We have a group on offense that was getting tired of fumbling, tired of seeing the same mistakes over and over and we knew if we could just hold onto the ball, regardless of how much yardage we get, we can do something great, Evans, a transfer from Trinity Valley Community College in Texas, said. I think thats a glimpse of what we can do if we keep this up.The margin was the Hokies largest in an ACC game since they beat Maryland 55-6 in 2004.It helps, Evans is learning, to have talented skill players like Ford who are intent on making plays. Fords second touchdown came when he was double covered and still came down with the ball at the back of the end zone.After I threw it, I said, `Oh, that ball should not have been thrown, Evans said. Im probably going to hear about that tomorrow.First-year coach Justin Fuente said hes more interested in how Evans is graded rather than his statistics, but he likes what he sees.Every week -- at least the last three weeks -- hes approached it with a great mindset, Fuente said after Evans finished 16 of 23 for 253 yards. Hes a good listener and tries to do what were asking him to do and at times he does it on a pretty consistent basis.The shutout was Virginia Techs first since it beat Bowling Green 37-0 in 2012.Its really exciting, cornerback Brandon Facyson said. I dont think weve had a goose egg since weve been here.The Eagles (1-2, 0-2) didnt reach triple figures in total yards until late in the third quarter and finished the game with fewer first downs, six, than Virginia Tech had touchdowns. It was the 10th consecutive loss for Boston College in conference play, and free safety John Johnson said if the Eagles had any hard feelings about the Hokies running up the score, BC should have played better defense.It got a little redundant, running the same plays and gashing us on the same plays, he said.WILLIAMS RETURNSMarshawn Williams returned to the backfield for the Hokies for the first time since tearing his ACL late in the 2014 season and showed no ill effects from the injury. He carried 15 times for 81 yards and was Virginia Techs leading rusher.THE TAKEAWAYBOSTON COLLEGE: Even the best defense has no chance when its offense cant get anything going. The Eagles arrived ranked third nationally in total defense, allowing just 180 yards per game, but the unit was on the field for 35:15 compared to 24:45 for the Hokies D.The Hokies finished with 476 yards (253 passing, 223 rushing) and scored touchdowns all five times it reached the red zone.VIRGINIA TECH: Evans is easing the Hokies transition into first-year coach Justin Fuentes faster-paced offense with solid decision-making. He had gaudy numbers last season (38 TDs, just three interceptions) and is on a similar pace with 10 TDs and one interception.The pick was not Evans fault as he hit Ford on a slant and Ford juggled the ball and tipped it to the Eagles John Johnson.UP NEXTBOSTON COLLEGE: The Eagles return home to Chestnut Hill for a game against Wagner. It will be the first of four consecutive home games for BC.VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies wrap up their non-conference schedule as they entertain recent nemesis East Carolina on Homecoming. The Pirates have won the last two meetings, each time by a touchdown.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Paul George Shoes Outlet . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Paul George Shoes Deals . The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. https://www.cheappaulgeorgeshoes.com/ . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona failed to break its soccer curse at Real Sociedad on Sunday in a 1-1 draw in the Spanish league, its seventh straight visit to Anoeta Stadium without a win.Lionel Messis equalizer could only salvage a point against a less talented but more inspired Sociedad side that left the titleholders six points behind leader Real Madrid.Sociedad dominated the match throughout, going ahead through striker Willian Jose after halftime and coming close to getting the win when Carlos Vela hit the woodwork twice in the final minutes.Luis Enriques Barcelona must now prepare for Madrids visit next weekend in a clasico match that the Catalan club must win to keep in touch with its fierce rival.Luis Enrique said that the draw was a positive result because we took a point from a match that it was practically impossible to take a point from.He said Barcelona was inferior in all areas to Sociedad.Sociedad was infinitely superior to us, with the ball, without the ball, in every facet of the match, Luis Enrique said. This is the first time we were clearly inferior to an opponent this season.Sociedad, coached by former Barcelona player and reserve team coach Eusebio Sacristan, continued its excellent start to the season. The draw ended its four-round winning streak as it remained in fifth place.No ground- not Madrids Santiago Bernabeu, not Atletico Madrids Vicente Calderon, not Sevillas Sanchez Pizjuan- bedevils Barcelona like Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian. It hasnt won here since 2007, with a record since then of five losses and two draws.Barcelona, a team that is synonymous with control of the ball and precision of pass, was unrecognizable.Sociedads pressure completely unnerved Barcelona, reducing a team of stars that was only missing the injured Andres Iniesta into a jittery, error-prone squad that couldnt stop the steady stream of chances for the hosts.You can rarely say this about Barcelona, but very little, actually nothing, went our way today, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique said. It was our attitude. We wont win the league playing like this.Sociedads David Zurutuza, Xabi Prieto, Vela and Inigo Martinnez all threatened to score before the half-hour mark, and Sociedad generated eight corner kicks before Barcelona even managed its first. Cheap Paul George Shoes. For all the verve Sociedad showed going forward, Barcelonas trio of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez barely received the ball from their rattled teammates.The closest Barcelona came to mustering a shot on goal before halftime was Suarezs desperate long strike that flew wide when a loose ball fell to him.Neymar finally forced goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli into action to parry his free kick in the 50th.But that was only a prelude to Willian Joses header that Pique tried to clear from the goal line only to send it into the top of the net in the 53rd. Vela had linked up with Willian Jose to draw a save from Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, leading to Willian Joses header.Messi leveled the match six minutes later with his ninth goal of the campaign after Neymar finally broke down the left flank and squared the ball to the Argentina forward to rifle in with his left foot.But Sociedad wasnt shaken and went close several times to getting a second goal. Vela hit the bar in the 76th- with the ball ricocheting off the goal line- and struck the upright in the 83rd.We deserved more, Vela said.Barcelonas second draw in a row left it in second place, level on points with Sevilla.Catalan television reported that Neymar was in a minor car accident in Barcelona before he and the team traveled to San Sebastian. He started the match and appeared unaffected by the incident.---OSASUNA 0, ATLETICO MADRID 3Diego Simeones Atletico stopped its slide down the table with a convincing victory to return to the top four.Goals by Diego Godin, Kevin Gameiro and Yannick Carrasco came after the former pacesetter had stumbled badly with losses to Sociedad and Madrid.---OTHER ACTIONAlaves got goals from Ibai Gomez and Victor Camarasa to pull off a surprising 2-0 win at Villarreal, which fell into sixth place.Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas opened a 3-1 win that kept last-place Granada winless.
