FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU coach Gary Patterson isnt worried about the College Football Playoff or that the Horned Frogs dropped out of the national rankings.Im just trying to beat Iowa State. Thats where all the mistakes are made, Patterson said about focusing on those other issues. Shoot, Im fired up were not in the (Top 25 ).The young Frogs (1-1), coming off a double-overtime home loss to Arkansas, play the first game that counts in the Big 12 standings Saturday in their third consecutive home game to start the season. It is a pre-noon kickoff against Iowa State (0-2).Patterson reminded everyone this week that the Cyclones won in Fort Worth four years ago in what was TCUs first Big 12 home game after joining the league.What Patterson didnt bring up was the unique circumstance surrounding the game in 2012, which came two days after quarterback Casey Pachalls DWI arrest and suspension. Or that the Frogs beat Iowa State 55-3 in the 2014 regular-season finale at home to clinch a share of the Big 12 title.In TCUs loss to the Razorbacks, new quarterback Kenny Hill led TCU to 21 consecutive points to go ahead with 2 minutes left, before Arkansas drove for a tying score and the Frogs had a short field goal blocked with 10 seconds left.There wasnt as many tears in that locker room the other night, as much as I would have liked to have seen, for that close a ballgame, the way it turned out, Patterson said. A lot of that has to do with you have a lot of young guys that, they havent put in enough heat here, they havent put in that offseason work here.TCU has played more freshmen (12) than seniors (nine) this season.While new Iowa State coach Matt Campbell will still be trying to figure out how to handle quarterbacks Joel Lanning and backup Jacob Park -- both who have struggled so far -- he knows that Hill provides a challenge for his defense. Hill, the former Texas A&M transfer, has started slow and finished slow in both of his TCU starts. He has thrown for 816 yards and three touchdowns and also leads the Horned Frogs with 138 yards rushing and five more scores.You see a guy that has the ability to make all the throws, Campbell said. When things break down a little bit, hes got the ability and athleticism to make plays with his feet.Some other things to known when the Cyclones and Frogs play at Amon G. Carter Stadium, where TCU is 75-15 under Patterson:CATCHING CYCLONEIowa State junior Allen Lazard leads the Big 12 with 120 yards receiving a game, and is the first Iowa State receiver since 2003 with consecutive back-to-back 100-yard games. His streak of 25 consecutive games with a reception is a school record.TRYING TO AVOID A TRIOIowa State is trying to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1997. That will be quite a task for the Cyclones , who are more than three-TD underdogs and ranked 127th out of 128 FBS teams at just 11.5 points per game. Campbell said hes never been a one-quarterback guy and indicated that both Lanning and Park, the transfer from Georgia, could play against the Frogs. Lanning has started the last seven games.LOT OF YOUNGSTERSThe Cyclones and Horned Frogs have both already played six true freshmen in only two games this season. Iowa State had played only six true freshmen combined the past three seasons. TCU had 15 true freshmen see action last year.EXTRA, EXTRAThree of TCUs last four games have been decided in multiple overtimes, including last weeks 41-38 double-overtime loss to Arkansas that snapped the Frogs 14-game home winning streak. They finished the 2015 regular season with a double-OT home win over Baylor before their big comeback and triple-OT victory over Oregon in the Alamo Bowl.---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Nike NBA Jerseys Authentic Cheap .

MIAMI -- Two days after Brandon Crawford battered the Miami Marlins with seven hits, he beat them with one swing.Crawford homered in the fourth inning and the San Francisco Giants won a series for the first time since the All-Star break, beating Miami 1-0 Wednesday.Crawfords seven hits in the opener of the three-game set tied an NL record. In the finale he put San Francisco ahead with his 11th homer leading off the fourth inning.He had a great series, manager Bruce Bochy said. We needed a shot in the arm, and he gave it to us.Crawford, who went 9 for 16 in the series to hike his average to .277, pulled a 3-2 changeup from David Phelps over the fence.They had been mixing on me pretty good the past couple of days, Crawford said. I had to be ready for anything. Fortunately I hit the changeup pretty good.Before the game, Crawford posed for photos with Rennie Stennett, who paid a visit to offer congratulations. Crawfords seven-hit game was the first since Stennett went 7 for 7 at Wrigley Field in 1975.The Giants finished 4-5 on their trip and improved to 8-16 since the All-Star break. They have a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Philadelphia beat the Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday.While their frustration eased, on the Marlins side it peaked in the sixth inning, when hitting coach Barry Bonds was ejected for arguing after pinch hitter Chris Johnson took a called third strike to end a threat.He didnt think it was a strike, Johnson said. And I didnt think it was a strike.Bonds was in the dugout when plate umpire Cory Blaser gave him the thumb. Bonds then came onto the field to briefly argue further before being pulled away by manager Don Mattingly.Despite the early departure, Bonds didnt miss any runs by his team. Jeff Samardzija (10-8) pitched 5 2/3 innings to best his former Notre Dame teammate, David Phelps, and four Giants relievers completed a five-hitter.Santiago Casilla pitched around a two-out double in the ninthh by Ichiro Suzuki, striking out J.ddddddddddddT. Realmuto to earn his 26th save.With that one-run lead, I was trying to protect it, Samardzija said. You have to tip your hat to our bullpen -- to go 3 1/3 innings and hold them at 1-0, they should get the win.Samardzija had lost his past three starts.Suzuki singled and doubled to increase his career hit total to 3,002, and teammate Marcell Ozuna singled to end an 0-for-18 slump. But Miami bunched two hits in an inning only once -- in the second -- and Derek Dietrich was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double.The Giants won with six hits, and took the series despite scoring just one run in the final 24 innings.Were too good of a ballclub for this to continue, Bochy said. Well get the bats going. These guys have it in them. Im not concerned about them.Phelps (5-6), making his second start of the season after moving from the bullpen into the rotation, pitched five innings and allowed one run -- on Crawfords homer.Whoever said solo home runs dont beat you is a liar, Phelps said. I was telling myself not to walk him. Thats what happens when you do that. I threw a pitch in the middle of the plate and he timed it up.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, nursing a sore right hip, pinch-hit with two on in the fifth and flied out to end the inning. Mattingly said he hopes Stanton will be able to return to the starting lineup for the Marlins next game Friday.UP NEXTBoth teams have Thursday off. The Giants begin a 10-game homestand Friday against Baltimore, with RHP Matt Cain (4-6, 5.16) scheduled to start against RHP Dylan Bundy (5-3, 3.05).RHP Andrew Cashner (4-8, 4.96) is scheduled to start for the Marlins when they begin a three-game series Friday against the Chicago White Sox.
