AUSTIN, Texas -- Sebastian Vettel admitted he pushed too hard on his qualifying lap for the U.S. Grand Prix, but said it is unfair to suggest that teammate Kimi Raikkonen is only ahead because of that.Vettel will line up sixth behind Raikkonen on Sundays grid at the Circuit of the Americas after clocking a time over 0.2s off the Finn. But when it was put to Vettel that he has struggled against Raikkonen in recent races because of his own mistakes, the four-time world champion talked up the quality of his teammate.No, I think its not fair to look at it that way, he said. Kimi did a very good job today and both Q3 laps I wasnt happy and probably pushed a bit too hard. We know that backfires on these tyres, but that isnt an excuse and I should have done a better job.Its part of the reason why Im not that happy with today, but as I said before, the gap to the cars in front is really what we dont like. I think we had a good run in the last couple of races and coming here and not being as competitive as we thought is not good news. But well take it and tomorrow is the race so we will see whats possible, even though it will be a big fight, but thats what we are here for.Ferrari had hoped to be competitive in Austin because the track has some similarities to Suzuka where Vettel and teammate Kimi Raikkonen qualified on the second row. The German said there was no obvious reason for the dip in form in Austin.I cant give you an answer because we dont exactly know. Yesterday we saw already that we werent yet on the pace. I think we improved today and the feeling wasnt that bad, so throughout qualifying I think we were both reasonably happy with the balance, but we werent quick enough.Obviously there is a lot of work going in trying to understand what happened, but for now we have to take it that way. As I said, we have to fight as much as we can at tomorrows race. Christian Fischer Coyotes Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010.

Arizona Coyotes Jerseys . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State found its energy after a sluggish performance earlier in the week, and the Buckeyes needed every bit of it to beat Providence.JaQuan Lyle scored 20 points and JaeSean Tate added 14 as Ohio State held off the Friars 72-67 on Thursday night.Ohio State (3-0) looked sharper after barely surviving North Carolina Central earlier in the week and won this game despite the efforts of Rodney Bullock, who was 5 for 9 from beyond the 3-point line and scored 27 points for Providence (1-1).It just seemed like we had more flow to us, Ohio State coach Thad Matta said.Trevor Thompson added 12 points for the Buckeyes in their opener of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, an eight-game series featuring Big Ten teams against the Big East.Indiana transfer Emmitt Holt scored 11 for Providence, and Jalen Lindsey booked 10 as the Friars as a team shot just 34 percent from the floor. The Buckeyes made exactly half their shots.Providence, searching for an identity this season after the loss of its two best players to the NBA, couldnt overcome the Ohio State lead but was still in the game in the final few minutes.Bullock closed it to 50-49 at the 10-minute mark with a 3-pointer, but the Buckeyes went on a 9-0 run over the next 1:28 to lengthen the lead again. The Friars pulled within two at the 4-minute mark with an Isiah Jackson 3-pointer, but a series of fouls put Buckeyes at the line and allowed them to build the lead and hang onto it.We fought back a couple different times, Providence coach Ed Cooley said. I think we were down by double digits two different times and found a way to get back. We lost a lot last year, and to grind it out and make it a competitive game right down to the wire, Im really proud of our group.The Buckeyes led the cold-shooting Friars 38-28 at the half, highlighted by a 9-2 run that erased a 17-16 Providence lead, and punctuated with aa Keita Bates-Diop dunk off a steal and a 3-pointer from Lyle.dddddddddddd Thats the last time the Friars would lead.Ohio State dominated inside, scoring 42 in the paint against Providences 20.I thought we did a good job finishing down there, Matta said. Its been a little bit of a problematic area for us. Our guys did a good job of getting the ball where we wanted it.BIG PICTUREProvidence: The departures of superstar Kris Dunn and sophomore Ben Bentil to the NBA left Cooley without a proven, experienced player around which he could build this years team, although Bullock stepped up to carry the load Thursday. Some of his teammates are going to have to do more for the Friars to be successful.Ohio State: After struggling on Monday, Ohio State triumphed in their first true test of the season. The Buckeyes were able to hold off Providences scrappy second-half charges and keep the lead.We were up by 12 points at one point, but they went on a run, Lyle said. This team last year probably would have folded and end up losing the game. It shows our maturity and how much we have grown up. We will continue to build off this game.INJURY REPORTBates-Diop went down awkwardly with his leg bent behind him about six minutes into the second half. He stayed down awhile, but eventually was helped to his feet and walked to the locker room under his own power. Matta said Bates-Diop was day-to-day with an ankle injury.UP NEXT:Providence: Returns home to play Grambling State on Saturday.Ohio State: Plays Western Carolina at home Monday night. The Buckeyes also play the day before and the day after Thanksgiving.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy ' ' '
