Virginias players viewed a bye week as time to build on momentum, not to rest.The Cavaliers (2-3, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), one of just two teams still unbeaten in league play in the Coastal Division, will look to extend their winning streak to three Saturday when they host Pittsburgh (4-2, 1-1).Were rolling right now, wide receiver David Eldridge said. Were looking pretty good.The Cavaliers ended a 17-game road losing streak in their last game, a 34-20 victory at Duke, and Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi expects first-year Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall and his staff will have used the bye week to also install some new wrinkles on both sides of the ball.That will be the next challenge, Narduzzi said. They have had two weeks to prepare and get a great game plan going. We are under, I guess for compared to them, we are a short week for us. So well be moving around pretty quick.Pittsburgh, with the return of 2014 ACC Player of the Year James Conner from a bout with cancer, is second in the conference in rushing, averaging 244 yards per game. Virginia is 11th against the run, allowing 162 yards, but has increasingly played better defense as its players have adapted to Mendenhalls 3-4 scheme.Cavaliers safety Quin Blanding is eager to see how the defense stacks up against Conner and Co.To be a great safety, youve got to know how to tackle in the alley, tackle in space, one-on-one tackles, and youve also got to know how to play the ball in the air as well, he said. And so I think this game is going to really prepare me for both. They do a lot of play-action as well, but they also love to run the ball, and theres going to be a lot of times Im one-on-one with the fly guy, so Ive just got to show them my game.The Panthers won the last meeting, 26-19, last season at Pittsburgh.---Here are some other things to watch when Pittsburgh visits Virginia:ROLLING OUT: Virginia quarterback Kurt Benkert has thrown 13 touchdown passes, and some of his best throws have come after hes been flushed out of the pocket. With an 84-yard completion to Eldridge against Duke, he became the first quarterback in school history to have completions of 80 or more yards in consecutive games.HELPING HANDS: Conners return has given the Panthers an emotional boost, but Narduzzi hasnt asked him to be the workhorse he was before his illness. The Panthers will continue to use a rotation that includes Chawntez Moss and 2015 ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year Quadree Ollison., hoping to keep all three of them fresh.HOME COOKING: The game marks the start of a three-game homestand for Virginia, with visits by North Carolina an Louisville to follow. Its going to feel good, nose tackle Donte Wilkins said. What we want to do is just go one at a time, go 1-0 every week. Thats our game-plan right now for the team. Just 1-0 every week.BIG MAN IN THE MIDDLE: Shakir Sotos move from defensive end to defensive tackle has given Pitts run defense a significant boost. The senior was at his best in last weeks victory against Georgia Tech, recording a career-high eight tackles, including a stuff on fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter of Pitts 37-34 victory. The Panthers are 10th nationally, and second in the ACC, against the run, giving up 98.3 yards per game. Virginia is last in rushing in the ACC, averaging less than 120 yards, but fifth in passing at 291.4 yards per game.ROAD WORRIERS?: The road hasnt been kind to the Panthers so far this year. Pitt lost by a touchdown at Oklahoma State and on the final snap at North Carolina in consecutive weeks after blowing a fourth-quarter lead. The Panthers havent scored a touchdown on the road in the fourth quarter this season, getting outscored 21-3.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr---AP sports Writer Will Graves contributed from Pittsburgh Jurickson Profar Jersey .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Will Middlebrooks Jersey . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. LOS ANGELES -- Two freshmen almost managed something in one game thats been accomplished only four times in UCLAs storied history -- a triple-double.Forward T.J. Leaf and guard Lonzo Ball each finished only a few assists shy of a triple-double in No. 2 UCLAs dominating 102-62 victory over UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday night.Leaf finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, while Ball had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.UCLA coach Steve Alford took both players out with several minutes still to play, uninterested in individual accomplishments.It all centers around our guys being unselfish, Alford said. Im not going to leave our guys in for something like that in a 40-point game.UCLA (11-0) scored at least 100 points for the fifth time this season.The Gauchos outrebounded the Bruins 50-46, but UCLA held Santa Barbara to 30.1 percent shooting (25 of 83).We let the boards get away from us in the second half (34-23), but we did have 10 blocks, Alford said.Ami Lakoju had 12 rebounds and 11 points, and Gabe Vincent added 10 points for the Gauchos (1-7).Santa Barbara struggled to find consistency against the Bruins, shooting just 25 percent (13 of 52) in the second half.Gauchos coach Bob Williams was left almost in awe of the Bruins effort.They are incredibly gifted, very long and they shoot really well, Williams said. They really run effortlessly and theyre playing and making the game easy. They pass and move and cut hard.At times out there, they have five guys who can shoot the 3. Their length is something you dont see at our level.Leaf and Ball said they were both unconcerned at just missing a triple-double.We really didnt notice it, Leaf said. Were trying to play unselfish basketball, and we were able to do that tonight.Five Bruins scored in double figures. Aaron Holiday had 20 points, Brycce Alford added 15 and Isaac Hamilton had 13 (all in the first half).ddddddddddddThe Bruins played their second consecutive game without starting center Thomas Welch, who is out with a bruised right heel.BIG PICTUREUC Santa Barbara: The Bruins were the highest-ranked team the Gauchos have faced since meeting No. 1 North Carolina on Nov. 21, 2008. The Tar Heels won 84-67.UCLA: Coming off Saturdays 102-84 victory over Michigan, the Bruins were ripe for a letdown but had too much talent to ever be in trouble against Santa Barbara.STAR WATCHHoliday, who lost his starting spot with the arrival of Ball, continued his torrid scoring pace off the bench. He is averaging 13.9 points per game. Alford said Holiday had been disappointed in his 73 percent free throw shooting and had been spending extra time on it.I was just concentrating, Holiday said. Nine of nine? Thats pretty good.TURNING POINTThe Bruins trailed once, slipping behind 12-11. They responded with a 17-0 run -- all but three points scored by Leaf.TRIPLE-DOUBLESThe four triple-doubles in the UCLA record book belong to Kyle Anderson (2013), Toby Bailey (1995), Jelani McCoy (1995) and Bill Walton (1973). The assist became an official NCAA stat in 1983-84.POLL IMPLICTIONSThe Bruins looked very much the No. 2 team in the country, the spot they have held since upsetting then-No. 1 Kentucky on Dec. 3.UP NEXTUC Santa Barbara: The Gauchos meet Iona on Wednesday in Las Vegas in the South Point Holiday Hoops Classic.UCLA: The Bruins meet Ohio State on Saturday in Las Vegas as part of the CBS Sports Classic.
