COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jared Sullinger bounced back from his latest injury to score 18 points and grab 11 rebounds, leading No. 2 Ohio State past Lamar 70-50 on Tuesday night. Deshaun Thomas, chosen as the Big Tens player of the week on Monday, added 16 points for the Buckeyes (11-1). His streak of making 17 consecutive two-point field goal attempts ended on his first shot of the game. Devon Lamb and Stan Brown each had 10 points for Lamar (8-4), which had a four-game winning streak come to an end. The Cardinals record against Big Ten teams dropped to 1-5. The Buckeyes had played three of their last four games without Sullinger healthy. The All-America missed two games with back spasms -- including Ohio States only loss, a 78-67 setback at No. 13 Kansas on Dec. 10 -- and all but 6 minutes of Saturdays 74-66 win at South Carolina with an ankle injury. But he warmed up without any obvious discomfort, was in the starting lineup and picked up his sixth double-double of the season. The win was Ohio States 32nd straight at home, extending the second-longest streak in school history. Lamar coach Pat Knights father, Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, was honoured at halftime with an alumni award. A 1962 graduate of Ohio State, he was a member of the 1960 team that won the schools only national championship. The Buckeyes trailed just once, 4-3, and slowly took over the game. A 3-pointer by Lenzelle Smith Jr. made it 6-4 and touched off an 11-2 run that put the Buckeyes in command to stay. Thomas hit a 3 from the left corner late in the half to give Ohio State a 34-21 lead. They maintained a double-figure lead the rest of the way while mixing in subs and despite some cold shooting by William Buford. He finished 3 of 11 from the field for seven points, leaving the court at one point in the first half while grimacing and holding his right shoulder. Aaron Craft had his usual all-around game for Ohio State with four points, six assists and three steals. The loudest cheer of the game came in the closing seconds when Shannon Scott tossed an alley-oop pass to J.D. Weatherspoon for a dunk, allowing the Buckeyes to reach 70 points -- and giving the fans free french fries at a fast-food chain. The Buckeyes improved to 77-2 against nonconference opponents in Columbus in coach Thad Mattas tenure. Bob Knight received a University Ambassador Medal, presented by the president and CEO of Ohio States alumni association, two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin. Knight teased Griffin that "you could play for me" but added hed have to play defence because he wouldnt let him shoot. Knight also said he was grateful for his days at Ohio State, particularly what he learned under his late coach, Fred Taylor. "I dont know what I would have become," Knight said. "I dont think it would have been a minister." Cheap Jerseys NFL .Va. -- The final touchdown pass drew only a slight fist pump from Collin Klein. Cheap Jerseys From China Online .

Gore got that coveted new contract and is playing like his old dominant self. Forget the hip injury that ended his season last November. Hes a new man making his case for a third Pro Bowl and pushing his team toward its first playoff berth in nine years. Gore ran for both 125-plus yards and a touchdown in a fourth straight game, Michael Crabtree made his first TD reception of the season, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cleveland Browns 20-10 on Sunday. Alex Smith completed 15-of-24 passes for 177 yards, leading the first-place 49ers (6-1) to their fifth consecutive victory since an overtime loss to the Cowboys in Week 2. For Colt McCoy and the Browns, its 0-for the Bay Area. They lost two weeks ago in Oakland, then flopped across San Francisco Bay at Candlestick Park. No handshake flap this time for Jim Harbaugh, either. And no post-bye letdown for his 49ers -- even if it was far from flashy. This marked Harbaughs first game since his seconds-long greeting and firm backslap of Lions coach Jim Schwartz following San Franciscos 25-19 comeback win at Detroit two weeks ago. Harbaugh says he practised during the bye week by high-fiving with his toddler daughter. He was polite to fellow first-year coach Pat Shurmur when they met at midfield. The 49ers -- who were made aware by Harbaugh this week that teams were 3-9 after their byes coming into Sunday -- are off to their first 6-1 start since 1998 in the days of greats Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens and Steve Young. Clevelands DQwell Jackson committed a costly facemask penalty against Gore that would have stopped San Francisco on third down two yards short in the waning minutes. David Akers sealed it with his second field goal of the day, a 26-yarder. Gore already had 103 yards on 19 carries by halftime, then got the other seven yards he needed to pass Roger Craig and move into second place on the franchise rushing list with 7,089. Gore wound up with 134 yards on a season-high 31 carries. San Francisco has a five-game winning streak for the first time since 2001 and wrapped up its first unbeaten October since 1997. The next big task will be ending an eight-year stretch of frustration in which the team hasnt had a winning season or made the playoffs.dddddddddddd The Niners began the day with a comfortable three-game cushion in the division -- nicknamed the NFC Worst last season, when Seattle won with a 7-9 record. Harbaughs big brother, John, helped the sibling cause by rallying to beat Arizona 30-27 earlier Sunday. The banged-up Browns (3-4) improved on special teams but went without their top two running backs. Peyton Hillis didnt play for the second straight game because of a hamstring injury and Cleveland then lost Montario Hardesty to a calf injury in the first half. McCoy and Co. managed only Phil Dawsons 52-yard field goal on the final play of the first half before Josh Cribbs 45-yard TD catch with 6:17 to play. After last weeks lacklustre 6-3 win over the Seahawks, it didnt get much better for the Browns. They failed to reach the end zone for seven quarters before Cribbs scored. McCoy accounted for four of Clevelands five fumbles, one of which was lost and helped set up Gores early TD run. McCoy lost the ball on the second play from scrimmage after he was stripped by Ahmad Brooks. Isaac Sopoaga recovered at the Cleveland 20. Gore ran four yards for the first points. Gore rushed for a touchdown in his fourth straight game, the first time in his career hes done so. McCoy was sacked four more times after five last week by the Seahawks. San Franciscos lopsided first half told the tale far before the clock finally wound down on a crystal-clear, unseasonably warm fall day. First downs: 15-6. Total yards: 253-93. Time of possession: 18:58-11:02. Rushing yards: 145-25. Crabtree caught a two-yard pass to put the Niners ahead 17-0 just before halftime. Dashon Goldson made his first interception of 2011 in the end zone in the third quarter. Left tackle Joe Staley even was in on the action, catching a 17-yard pass from Smith for a first down midway through the first quarter for his first career reception. He jumped up in celebration and signalled the first down by emphatically pointing down field with both hands. Sopoaga had an 18-yard reception late against the Browns fourth-ranked defence. 49ers wideout Braylon Edwards returned against his former club in his first action since right knee surgery after getting hurt against the Cowboys. He had four catches. ' ' '
