MINNEAPOLIS -- When Emmitt Carpenter missed a 34-yard field goal wide right in the second quarter on Saturday, Minnesota was already leading 21-10 and was having the expected success against Rutgers porous defense.While the Golden Gophers were driving at will on offense as big favorites at home, Carpenter knew he would be needed again. In a bit of a surprise, Carpenters time would be with 10 seconds left.Carpenter connected for a 28-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining and Minnesota survived for a 34-32 victory against the Scarlet Knights.After that missed kick in the first half, I thought about it for a little bit just to kind of learn from the experience and what I did wrong, and then just kind of clean the slate, Carpenter said of getting another chance after his miss. I knew that my name would be called again at some point in the game. I just had to respond for that.The Gophers scored touchdowns on their first three possessions for a 21-0 lead against Rutgers, which entered the game allowing the most points per game and second-most yards per game in Big Ten play.We had a great week of practice and we come out of the gates, Minnesota coach Tracy Claeys said. We didnt handle that lead for whatever reason.Rodney Smith had a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and ran for 111 yards and a touchdown for the Gophers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten). Mitch Leidner returned after missing one game with a concussion and was 11-of-18 passing for 156 yards and an interception.Rutgers cornerback Damon Hayes intercepted Leidner and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown with just over six minutes left in the third quarter, but Knights kicker David Bongaura couldnt tie the game when he missed the PAT.Smith took Bongauras ensuing kickoff and raced down the home sideline for the first kickoff return for a touchdown by a Minnesota player since Jalen Myrick in 2014.Giovanni Rescigno was 22 of 38 for 220 yards passing in making his first start for Rutgers (2-6, 0-5). Rescigno threw three touchdown passes and two interceptions for the Knights, who had scored 14 points in four conference games prior to Saturday.A lot of heart, a lot of spirit; he made a lot of plays, coach Chris Ash said of Rescigno. Im really happy for the kid and really excited about what he can do as we move forward.Bongaura made a 39-yard field goal with four minutes left, but Minnesota went 59 yards in 13 plays to set up Carpenters game-winner. Smith had 25 yards rushing, including a 3-yard run on third down, spinning away from defenders twice for a first down.I kind of get the feel when the offense needs a spark, and we knew what we had to do to win the game, Smith said.Shannon Brooks had 22 carries for 87 yards as the Gophers ran for 243 yards. Rutgers had allowed an average of 328 rushing yards in four previous Big Ten games.I feel for them, Ash said. Were going to get better. Well get over that hump. I dont know when its going to be, but well get over that hump. Theres no quit in these guys. The attitudes extremely high.Minnesota linebacker Jack Lynn was ejected in the second half for targeting when he lowered his shoulder and hit receiver Jawuan Harris.THE TAKEAWAYRUTGERS: Despite the two interceptions, Rescigno has given the Knights a spark at quarterback. With the Rescigno using his arm and legs (11 carries for 26 yards), Rutgers had its most impressive offensive performance of the season in Big Ten play.MINNESOTA: The Gophers defense entered the game with the fifth-ranked defense in Big Ten play. But Minnesota was shaky against the relatively unknown Rescigno and gave up 372 total yards.UP NEXTRUTGERS: Finally gets its bye week before hosting Indiana on Nov. 5.Minnesota: The Gophers go on the road at Illinois on Oct. 29.

Michael Porter Nuggets Jersey . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets have no scores to settle yet this National Hockey League season.But that situation will change this week as the teams play a rare doubleheader in Vancouver with the first game going Tuesday night at Rogers Arena. Both the Canucks (13-16-2-1) and Jets (15-16-2-1) are looking to win more consistently as they play their final two games below the Christmas break.The Canucks, struggling to rebuild on the fly, have only won four of their past 10 games while the Jets, who appear to be a much tougher and more talented team have five wins and as many losses during the same span.We know what it takes, said Vancouver winger Jannik Hansen. We need to string some wins together. We had an opportunity (Sunday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Columbus.) We are going to get another opportunity on Tuesday. Thats what we need. We are playing good hockey now, consistently well. Its the end result that has to come as well.The Canucks have picked up their play markedly since losing nine straight earlier in the season. But they are battling injuries on the back end with Alex Edler (finger) continuing an extended absence and Erik Gudbranson, who has missed the last two games, also due to be out on a long-term basis due to a wrist problem that made surgery necessary.Although center Brandon Sutter is on a three-game scoring streak, the Jets will not have to worry about many obvious scoring threats. However, the Canucks are clear on who they want to hold in check.Jets rookie Patrik Laine ranks among the leagues top scorers with 18 goals. He is also coming off a three-point game following Sundays victory over Colorado, when he had a goal and two assists.Hes a strong player, said Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller. Hes not afraid to shoot the puck. He has some confidence and seems to slow the play down just a little bit to give himself some space. A lot like (Sunday) we are going to have to be skating, chip some pucks, make him go a long way. Maybe get their team a little frustrated. That seems to be the game plan most nights.The Jets, who also boast sharpshooters Mark Sheifele, who has 14 goals and 30 points, and Blake Wheeller (24 points) can ease some frustration by moving above .dddddddddddd500 with a win Tuesday and another Thursday, when the mini-series concludes.We kinda limped into the mini-break we had there, got some rest here at home and took care of business, Jets captain Blake Wheeler told reporters following Sundays win over Colorado. We had to get back on track. It was two huge games here at home, two huge games in Vancouver now and we want to go into this break feeling good about ourselves.The Jets are also feeling better physically. Former Canucks Shawn Matthias and fellow forwards participated in Mondays practice after being absent due to injuries. Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice told reporters that at least one of the three would play in Vancouver.But one players status remains in limbo even though he is healthy. Center Alexander Burmistov has been a healthy scratch for the last five games and has suited up for only three of the last 12 contests after falling out of favor with Maurice.You know, I feel great, working hard -- watching games, said Burmistrov, who has only two assists in 23 games this season and is a minus-six, told the Winnipeg Free Press. Its tough, tough for me because I do not know why Im not playing, you know. I never have a conversation with the coach, so he never (told) me why Im not playing.Maurice begged to differ, contending that he has spoken frequently to Burmistov, who returned to the Jets this season after leaving the team following the 2012-13 campaign for the Russia-based Kontinental Hockey League.All other Jets have been getting plenty of rest lately after starting the season with 32 games in 60 days. The Jets had three days between games last week before getting two days off prior to Sundays contest, and they will have had another two-day break before Tuesdays opening faceoff.Physically we are quite a bit stronger and when you are a little better rested you can stop and start and win battles, said Maurice.He will soon find out whether that applies to a pair of battles against the same team in Vancouver.
