petitive agreement to rig bid prices.Reports ha
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Trace McSorley has gotten used to seeing extra defenders crowding the line of scrimmage this season and hes become adept at taking advantage of itWith another defense selling out to stop star running back Saquon Barkley, McSorley completed 17 of 23 passes for 376 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 7 Penn State to a 45-12 victory over Michigan State and the Big Ten East title Saturday.Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 8 AP) edged No. 2 Ohio State for the East title, setting up a conference championship game against West winner Wisconsin next week in Indianapolis. The Nittany Lions beat the Buckeyes 24-20 at home Oct. 22.Its almost like pick your poison, McSorley said. Weve got so many weapons outside, if you want to try to load the box to stop Saquon and our run game, weve got enough weapons outside and if you want to try and stop that, weve got one of the best running backs in the country. Hes going to do what he does.But Barkley couldnt get going and eventually left the game with a right leg injury.The Spartans (3-9, 1-8) stacked the line of scrimmage and held Barkley to 9 yards in the first half on nine carries. Meanwhile, Michael Geiger kicked four field goals, the last giving Michigan State a 12-10 halftime lead.McSorley, who set a school record for total offense in a season (3,348), and his speedy, physical receivers took over in the third quarter. The shifty, dual-threat quarterback threw deep touchdown passes on three straight drives to cue Penn States 35-0 second half.Disappointing outcome to a disappointing season, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. Thought we played very well in the first half, especially the first quarter, came out and established ourselves early on but drove down the field four straight times and had to settle for field goals.McSorley found Chris Godwin down the sideline for 34 yards on Penn States first second-half possession and followed it with a 45-yarder to Mike Gesicki. Godwin got loose down the middle minutes later and McSorley hit him in stride for 59 yards to give Penn State a 31-12 lead.Trace did a great job of giving me a great, catchable ball and after that point, its just finishing the play, Godwin said.Andre Robinson added a 14-yard touchdown run and caught a 40-yard pass from McSorley to complete the scoring in the fourth quarter, and Barkley scored on a 1-yard run in the second. Barkley left in the third quarter with an apparent right leg injury and did not return.Tyler Davis added a second-quarter field goal for Penn State which won its eighth straight game.Its been special, Penn State coach James Franklin said. I think this team, the connection and the bond they have for each other, weve overachieved and we keep overachieving.BEND BUT DONT BREAKThe Spartans moved against Penn States defense until they pushed into the red zone. Michigan State mounted four long first-half drives of at least 11 plays but had to settle for Geigers kicks each time.The Spartans never got into the red zone after Geigers final field goal, managed just 87 yards in the second half, lost a fumble and allowed three sacks.We were pissed off that they got down there and we knew once our feet were set, they werent doing anything special that could really keep us on our heels, linebacker Brandon Bell said.EYES ON BARKLEYBarkley was helped to the sideline by training staff in the third quarter and didnt return. He had a towel over his head while he sat on the training table.Franklin, who only confirms injuries if a player is out for the season, said he expects Barkley to practice and prepare as he would normally from the information he had at the end of the game.POLL IMPLICATIONSPenn State: The Nittany Lions will get another shot to impress the selection committee in the Big Ten championship game. As for a shake up right now, the question is how far will No. 3 Michigan fall having lost two of its last three, including a double-overtime game at Ohio State.THE BIG PICTUREMichigan State: The Spartans run of nine straight seasons with a bowl appearance under Dantonio was snapped weeks ago. Their chance to play spoiler was hindered by more injuries Saturday. Dantonios squad, which started different lineups on both sides of the ball in every game, lost starting quarterback Damion Terry (concussion), guard Brandon Clemons and TE Josiah Price. Running back LJ Scott hurt his right leg in the first half, and although he returned, was not effective.Penn State: With injuries mounting, Penn State appeared destined for another ho-hum season at best after a Week 4 loss to Michigan dropped the Nittany Lions to 2-2. The vibes were bad enough that athletic director Sandy Barbour had to publicly refute speculation that Franklins seat was hot. Franklins team recovered and hasnt lost since that afternoon in Ann Arbor. Of even more significance is Penn State got it done with one of the youngest rosters in the country. Itll lose just 17 seniors and return many key contributors next season.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Chaussures Nike Promo .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Several construction companies rigged their bids for 2014 World Cup stadiums, driving up costs by overcharging for the work, according to Brazils anti-trust body.So far, there are indications that at least five bids related to World Cup stadiums were the subject of the cartel, the anti-trust body CADE said in a statement.Five stadium projects included Rio de Janeiros famous Maracana Stadium, where Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2014 World Cup final.The other stadiums named Monday in the statement were in the northeastern city of Recife, and in Belo Horizonte in the southeast. The other two stadiums were not named.CADE said three other stadiums used in the World Cup also could have been tainted by corruption. They were named as venues in Fortaleza, Natal and Salvador -- all cities in the northeast.Brazil used 12 stadiums for the World Cup, although the governing body of world soccer FIFA required only eight venues.Four of the new or remodeled stadiums were built in cities without top-division soccer clubs and have become white elephants. They included Cuiaba, Natal, Brasilia and the Amazon city of Manaus.CADE said it obtained the bid-rigging information in a leniency agreementt with construction company Andrade Gutierrez.dddddddddddd It said the companies worked with an anti-competitive agreement to rig bid prices.Reports have been widespread about corruption linked to World Cup stadiums. Investigations are also on-going involving construction projects tied to this years Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.An analysis last year said Brazil spent about $3 billon on new and refurbished World Cup stadiums, with 90 percent of the funding being public money. Reports say Brazil spent about $15 billion overall to organize the World Cup, and about the same on the Olympics.The expenditures have been widely criticized as Brazil has plunged into a deep recession with several states -- including Rio de Janeiro state -- being months behind paying public service workers like teachers and hospital employees.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWade .
