AUBURN, Ala. -- Trevor Knight and No. 17 Texas A&M won the matchup of teams trying to defy modest expectations, and the Aggies did it mostly three points at a time.Knight passed for 247 yards and Daniel LaCamera kicked five field goals to lead No. 17 Texas A&M to a 29-16 victory over Auburn Saturday night and get off to a good start in the competitive Southeastern Conferences Western Division.It was a question mark game for our team since we came into the season not being picked very high, Knight said. There were all kinds of questions about who we were going to be and what our identity would be. We came on the road to a team that I think has one of the better defenses in the country.We played very well, and it was a big win for us.Knight also ran for 42 yards and several first downs for the Aggies (3-0, 1-0 SEC), who are off to another fast start. Myles Garrett had two sacks and Texas A&Ms defense harassed quarterback Sean White enough to minimize big-play chances for Auburn (1-2, 0-1).Texas A&M kept its hopes of a higher division finish firmly intact with a 478-yard offensive performance. Freshman Trayveon Williams weaved through Auburn defenders for an icing-on-the-cake 89-yard touchdown run with 6:52 left and gained 127 yards on eight carries.The Aggies are 3-0 for the third straight year, a run they havent had since 1939-41.Knight kept the Aggies moving even if though they struggled to find the end zone. He completed 20 of 40 passes but led one 92-yard drive in the first half and another march for three points in the fourth quarter.Auburn couldnt cash in on defensive stops with any points in the third quarter.I really thought the third quarter was probably the key to the game, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said. It was a dogfight, and then in the third quarter I thought our defense played very good, gave the offense a lot of opportunities, and the offense just couldnt seize the moment.Auburn drove deep into Texas A&M territory with runs by speedy backup quarterback John Franklin III and hard running Kamryn Pettway. Then Daeshon Hall stuffed Franklin behind the line on fourth down from the 12. Williams put it away with his sprint to the end zone, though Franklin did lead an Auburn scoring drive in the final minutes.I wasnt happy with how we finished the game, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said. To really kind of let down on defense and give up the score and then not close out things the way we needed to in the final 5-6-7 minutes. Weve got to improve there.Knight gave Texas A&M a 16-7 first-half lead with the long second-quarter drive. He completed all four attempts for 86 yards, including a dead-on 51-yard strike to Josh Reynolds. That set up Reynolds 5-yard touchdown catch.LaCamera had kicks of 46, 35, 31, 37 and 26 yards.THE TAKEAWAYTexas A&M: The Aggies sputtered at times offensively -- mostly in the red zone, but also going three-and-out on their first three drives after halftime. Converting 2 of 15 third-down attempts wont always get the job done. The defense produced four sacks and 13 tackles for loss.Auburn: The Tigers are still plagued by inconsistent offense and are just 2-10 over the last 12 SEC games. Sean White hit some third-down passes but nothing downfield and was 18-of-27 passing for 126 yards. The Tigers did rush for 236 yards after piling up 462 against Arkansas State .POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Aggies could make some headway in the rankings with the win and face tougher games ahead.UP NEXTTexas A&M faces No. 24 Arkansas in Arlington, Texas after winning in an overtime thriller last season.Auburn hosts SEC West rival LSU, which won the last meeting 45-21.---AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org49ers Jerseys China .500 on the season.

RICHMOND, Va. -- JeQuan Lewis admittedly wasnt focused when VCU and Princeton tipped off Tuesday night.Once he locked in, he took off, leading the Rams back from a 16-0 deficit and to an 81-70 victory against the Tigers.I was just being somewhat careless. I started off the game kinda slow. It came off me not being really focused, Lewis said.What caused him to get going?The score, he said.Lewis finished with 25 points and 12 assists, and scored 19 in the first half as the Rams rallied to get to 39-all by halftime.The Rams played without starting point guard Jonathan Williams, forcing Lewis into that spot, and he played 39 minutes.What do you want me to say? VCU coach Will Wade said. I mean, he was huge. He carried us and we had to have him. He was huge. He set the tempo. He set the pace. He made shots.Mo Alie-Cox added 15 points and four blocks, Jordan Burgess scored 12 and freshman Samir Doughty 11 for the Rams (6-1). VCU didnt take the lead for good until Burgess hit a 3-pointer with 4:35 remaining. He scrambled back on defense pumping his fist with the Rams now ahead 67-64, and Doughtys 3 from the top of the key with 4:13 left made it 70-64 and the sellout crowd at the Siegel Center roared.I dont mean to sound cocky. It just felt regular, Burgess said of the 3-pointer. I was open so I just shot the ball.Devin Cannady scored 18 points to lead the Tigers (2-3), who hurt themselves with 15 turnovers by halftime, tying their season high.This game is going to really help us, Tigers coach Mitch Henderson said. Thats a really good team. Might be the best team on our schedule, one of the better teams on our schedule. They made some big plays down the stretch. Lewis is really really tough to guard.Princeton finished with 19 giveaways, leading to 27 points off turnovers foor the Rams.ddddddddddddSpencer Weisz added 14 points and Stephen Cook 10 for Princeton.BIG PICTUREPrinceton: The Tigers have a good blend with five seniors and several underclassmen that play, led by Cannady, a sophomore guard, who provides a solid scoring lift off the bench. They will give better programs fits with grit and toughness, and be a difficult assignment for the teams more at their own level.VCU: The Rams are at their best when they play fast, not only because Lewis plays best at high speed, but because big men Alie-Cox and Justin Tillman can run the floor as well or better than most guys their size, and the more hectic the pace , the more likely the rams are forcing, and feeding off, turnovers.TURNING POINTFour consecutive turnovers by the Tigers late in the first half sparked a 10-0 VCU run that pulled them even for the first time at 37-all. Freshman DeRiente Jenkins had a dunk on a fast break and Alie-Cox followed with a steal near midcourt and a two-handed dunk, bringing the noise in the Siegel Center to deafening level. Lewis followed with a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws to finally tie it.HE SAID ITI thought it would be a very physical game. I mean, Mo Alie-Coxs neck is bigger than some of our guys legs, Henderson said of the Rams 6-foot-7, 250-pound forward who has been watched by some NFL teams interested in him after graduation.UP NEXTPrinceton faces California next Tuesday in Honolulu, HawaiiVCU faces Illinois, its third Power 5 opponent in eight games, in the Miami Hoopball International in Miami.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr ' ' '
