BATON ROUGE, La. Athletics Jerseys 2019 . -- Desperate for a late score to keep Florida alive, Tyler Murphy dropped back, only to be enveloped in a swarm of purple and gold. First came a sack by LSU safety Jalen Mills for a loss of 12 yards to force a fourth-and-27, and then another sack and strip by linebacker Kendell Beckwith all but sealed the game. The 17th-ranked Gators came to Death Valley hoping to establish themselves as the team to beat in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference. Instead, they left with a 17-6 loss to No. 10 LSU on Saturday which exposed some problems with Floridas pass protection. LSU "had too many free runners at the quarterback," Florida coach Will Muschamp said after watching Murphy take four sacks and release numerous inaccurate passes under duress. "There was too much pressure. Weve got to protect (Murphy) better." Murphy blamed himself. "It is definitely frustrating when you have a guy (open) down field and you cant (get the ball) to him," Murphy said. "I really have to work on getting rid of the ball quicker." Murphy got off to an encouraging start against LSU, connecting on a couple of high-percentage throws, showing his elusiveness when he was nearly sacked and converting four first downs. That set up Francisco Velezs 44-yard field goal to give the Gators a 3-0 lead. The next two drives didnt go nearly as well, amounting to minus-4 yards as LSU forced a pair of three-and-outs, and Micah Eugene pulled down Murphy for his first sack. Meanwhile, LSU (6-1, 3-1) strung together touchdown drives of 70 and 62 yards, gashing the Gators highly rated defence for several passing plays covering more than 20 yards. The scores came on 1-yard TD runs by fullback J.C. Copeland and reserve freshman quarterback Anthony Jennings. Florida (4-2, 3-1) entered the game giving up averages of only 217 yards and 12.2 points per game. LSU gained 200 yards and scored 14 points in the first half. "You can call whatever defence you want to call, kids have got to get off blocks and make a play," Muschamp said of his defence. "Our guys have got to accept that." Florida made it a one possession game on Velezs second field goal, a 27-yarder that cut it to 14-6 with 12:11 to go. The Tigers responded by going to Jeremy Hill, who carried four times for 45 yards -- including a gain of 26 yards to the Florida 19 -- to set up Colby Delahoussayes 31-yard field goal with 7:58 left. Needing two scores, Florida started to gamble. On fourth-and-5 from the Gators 30, punter Kyle Christy converted a fake, hitting Demarcus Robinson over the middle for a 14-yard gain. Murphy then converted a fourth-and-9 with a 15-yard pass to Ahmad Fulwood at the LSU 20. Thats when the Tigers put the game out of reach with consecutive sacks. "We can win all different types of games," Hill said. "We can win shootouts or we can win tough, physical ground it out kind of games." Hill rushed for 121 yards on 19 carries, carrying the load on a day when the Tigers passing offence was not its usual prolific self. LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger finished with 152 yards on 9-of-17 passing, hitting Jarvis Landry four times for 58 yards and Odell Beckham Jr. twice for 47 yards. "Its frustrating, but you have to give them credit, too," Florida defensive lineman Damien Jacobs said. "It is LSU, and Jeremy Hill is the running back. Hes physical, and he has all the intangibles it takes." The Gators also apparently caught LSUs defence at the wrong time. The Tigers had given up 44 points in a loss at Georgia and 23 points in the first half a week ago at Mississippi State, but have now gone six quarters without giving up a touchdown. "The more time we are getting together with this defence, the better we are becoming," said defensive end Jermauria Rasco, who assisted on one of LSUs eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage. "It is just taking some time and I think the evidence is there now." Florida wound up being the first LSU opponent this season to be kept out of the end zone. Fake Athletics Jerseys .

ATLANTA -- David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox ended their 10-game losing streak, rallying from a five-run deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves 8-6 on Monday. The defending World Series champions trailed 6-1 after the fourth, with starter Clay Buchholz walking a career-high eight in only three-plus innings. But Ortiz tied it by hitting a three-run homer off Ervin Santana in the fifth. With Red Sox fans at Turner Field chanting "Papi! Papi!" the World Series MVP then gave Boston the lead with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Ian Thomas (1-2) in the seventh. Following pregame declarations of confidence from manager John Farrell and general manager Ben Cherington, the Red Sox came back to end their worst skid since an 11-game slide in 1994. The losing streak was the longest for a defending World Series champion since the depleted 1998 Marlins had two 11-game skids. Justin Upton drove in three runs with two hits for Atlanta. Edward Mujica (2-1) got the win with a scoreless sixth inning following a 1 1/2-hour rain delay. Chris Johnson singled with one out in the ninth before Koji Uehara capped his 10th save with Andrelton Simmons game-ending double-play grounder. Uehara was Bostons seventh pitcher. Buchholz began the day with an unsightly 6.32 ERA, but even with his poor start he hadnt walked more than three batters in a game. He couldnt overcome unprecedented control problems, as he allowed six runs and four hits. Buchholz was wild from the start. He walked leadoff hitter Jason Heyward and catcher A.J. Pierzynski visited after a first-pitch ball to the next hitter, B.J. Upton. Pitching coach Juan Nieves made his first walk to the mound when Buchholz walked Freddie Freeman. Buchholz matched his season high of three walks in the second inning and added three walks in the Braves three-run third. Justin Upton had a two-run double and Gerald Laird had a run-scoring singlle off Buchholzs left foot. Athletics Jerseys 2020. Buchholz didnt get out of Atlantas three-run fourth. Heyward walked and scored on B.J. Uptons double, and Justin Upton and Simmons added RBI singles. As Bostons early deficit grew, the frustration from its players became more obvious. After his groundout in the fourth, star Dustin Pedroia stalked around the dugout, shouting in anger before slamming his hand on the bench. He seemed to be upset about a ball-strike call earlier in the at-bat. The Red Sox rallied with five runs in the fifth against Santana. Pedroia drove in two runs with a single before Ortiz hit his tying homer to left-centre. It marked the third straight start Santana allowed at least five earned runs. He gave up five runs on six hits and three walks in five innings. Following the rain delay, Thomas walked two batters following an infield hit by Brock Holt, loading the bases. Ortiz drove in Holt with a fly ball to right field, giving Boston a 7-6 lead. Pierzynskis single up the middle pushed the lead to two runs. Heyward led off the eighth with a single to centre field off Andrew Miller but slid past second base trying for a double. He was tagged by Pedroia while reaching back for the bag.
