ATHENS, Ga. -- Nick Chubb said seeing Isaiah McKenzie making big plays early in the game was a great sign that Georgia was headed for a win.McKenzie scored on big plays the first two times he touched the ball, including a punt return that set a school record, and Georgia beat turnover-prone Louisiana-Lafayette 35-21 on Saturday.McKenzie scored on a 55-yard run on Georgias first play and added another touchdown on an 82-yard punt return midway through the first quarter. McKenzie, a junior, set a school record with his fifth career punt return for a touchdown. He set another mark with his sixth touchdown on all kick returns.I enjoyed it, said Chubb of McKenzie. Every time he plays well, we wind up getting the victory. Hes a big part of our offense.It was McKenzies first return for a touchdown this season. He said he knew he needed one more for the school record but was starting to think time was running out this season.Ive been thinking about that since I heard about being close to breaking it, McKenzie said.Chubb ran for 108 yards and a touchdown and caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Jacob Eason in the fourth quarter.Georgia (7-4) has won three straight and avoided a letdown after last weeks upset of then-No. 8 Auburn.Louisiana-Lafayette (4-6) was hurt by four turnovers. Anthony Jennings threw three interceptions, all in the first half. He ran for 98 yards and three touchdowns.Georgia led 35-7 after Chubbs scoring catch. The Ragin Cajuns closed the deficit on Jennings touchdown runs of 1 and 13 yards late in the game.Seeing his backups struggle late sapped some of the joy out of the win for Georgia coach Kirby Smart.It was frustrating to walk out with that feeling, Smart said. You feel like you should walk out of a game and feel good about what you did. The guys we put in the game just didnt play real well on either side of the ball.Jennings 64-yard pass to Al Riles set up his 9-yard scoring run late in the first half.Louisiana-Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth said McKenzies early touchdowns were too much to overcome.We dug ourselves a hole early in the game, Hudspeth said. ...

McGuires 124 yards rushing helped move the offense, but the turnovers were too much to overcome. The Ragin Cajuns must win their last two games to become bowl-eligible.Georgia: The Bulldogs, perhaps motivated by a flat performance in a narrow win over Nicholls early in the season, showed good focus. The defense delivered three fourth-down stops. Chubb has back-to-back 100-yard games for the first time this season.C FOR CAJUNSLouisiana-Lafayette defensive back Tracy Walker said his team couldnt afford to fall behind 21-0.Early in the game, we played a C-plus game and against a SEC opponent like Georgia, we have to play an A game, Walker said.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- It took nine games for West Virginias Daxter Miles Jr. to start to find a rhythm.Miles scored a season-high 20 points and the 15th-ranked Mountaineers overcame an early lull to beat VMI 90-55 on Saturday and give coach Bob Huggins his 799th career win.Miles missed the first three games with an unspecified illness and was ejected for throwing an elbow in the first half of a close win over Virginia last Saturday. The lack of court time set him back on a team where a dozen players are getting extensive minutes.Against VMI, the junior went 6 of 9 from the field, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range.It feels good, Miles said. I just had to get back into the basic of things, and just whatever it takes me to do. Did I feel like it was my time? No. Everybody has roles and we all kind of know what each other likes to do.West Virginia (8-1) followed up a 53-point win over Western Carolina on Wednesday night with a lackluster first half to finish its final exams week.VMI (1-7) accomplished what no other mid-major opponent has done in the first half this season -- handle West Virginias full-court pressure defense and keep up in scoring for a while.The Keydets lost by 18 points at home to Gardner-Webb in their last game but were scrappy out of the gate against the often-substituting Mountaineers.After falling behind by 16, the Keydets were within 22-17 before Miles made two 3-pointers, and Elijah Macons free throw with 4 minutes left until halftime put the Mountaineers ahead by double digits for good, 32-22.I thought we competed, especially for the first 25 minutes, VMI coach Dan Earl said. I give West Virginia a ton of credit. They come at you for 40 minutes. They wore us down a little bit.Esa Ahmad added 12 points and Brandon Watkins had a season-high 11 pooints and grabbed 10 rebounds for West Virginia.ddddddddddddQJ Peterson scored 17 points for VMI, which was limited to three field goals over the final 12 minutes of the game.BIG PICTUREVMI: The Keydets might win more games if they match the intensity that they had midway through the first half, when they went on an 11-0 run, including seven points by Peterson, who led West Virginias Hedgesville High School to a state championship in 2012.West Virginia: The Mountaineers lead the nation in forced turnovers with 26.5 per game, including at least 34 turnovers in two of their last three games. Two years ago VMI committed 36 against them. But the defensive effort wasnt there from start-to-finish Saturday for West Virginia, which forced 22.Twenty-two forced turnovers to most people is good, Huggins said. And were looking at it like we shouldve had some more.ADRIAN SLUMPINGThe Mountaineers havent gotten much production lately out of Nathan Adrian, who no longer is the teams top scorer after getting two points each against Western Carolina and VMI.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia should move up in the AP poll after No. 12 Saint Marys and No. 13 Xavier lost earlier in the week.CHARITY CLANKWest Virginia isnt going to win many games at the free throw line. The Mountaineers are shooting 66 percent from the line this season and went 26 of 42 (62 percent) on Saturday. They fared better from 3-point range, going 10 of 19.UP NEXTVMI: Hosts Charleston Southern on Tuesday.West Virginia: Can give Huggins his 800th win when it hosts Missouri-Kansas City next Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
