BATON ROUGE, La. -- Jeremy Hill burst across the line of scrimmage untouched, sprinted past pursuing defensive backs and galloped a career-long 58 yards for a score to quickly cap LSUs opening drive. The play was a preview. Kent State was overmatched in its first trip to Death Valley as Hill had 117 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries before the second quarter had ended, and the eighth-ranked Tigers cruised to a 45-13 victory on Saturday night. Zach Mettenberger enjoyed a third productive outing in as many games for LSU (3-0), connecting on 13 of 18 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns in what was the Tigers last tuneup before opening Southeastern Conference play. Auburn, which beat Mississippi State 24-20 to improve to 3-0, visits next Saturday. "We did what we were supposed to do," LSU coach Les Miles said. "I think the out-of-conference play will prepare us. ... Were looking forward to facing a quality SEC opponent in our stadium next week." Two of Mettenbergers scoring strikes went to Jarvis Landry, whose total of five TD catches already this season exemplifies how much the Tigers air attack has improved under first-year offensive co-ordinator and former NFL coach Cam Cameron. Landry had five touchdown catches all of last season. "It is so much fun to be in this offence this year," Landry said. "Last year at this time we were still struggling offensively. Looking back at it, it kind of makes you laugh because if you look at the same guys now, they are making plays. You see a quarterback that has grown leaps and bounds and emerging. You also see young offensive linemen coming along. I just cant wait to see what the rest of the season has in store." Kent States defence had given up nearly 600 yards in a loss a week earlier to Bowling Green, so there was a chance it would only get worse for the Golden Flashes down on the bayou. "We knew what they were going to run. They obviously werent trying to hide anything," Kent State safety Jordan Italiano said of LSU. "We didnt do a good job executing -- fundamental stuff, some tackling, gave up big plays. We just need to correct that." LSU covered a five-touchdown point spread against UAB the previous week, and might have done so again against Kent State if not for Miles decision to run out the clock deep in Golden Flashes territory. Mettenberger hit Odell Beckham Jr. five times for 76 yards, including a 5-yard TD in the second half. Fullback Connor Neighbors turned a short catch in the right flat into a 52-yard gain. Terrence Magee rushed nine times for 108 yards, scoring the Tigers final touchdown on a 12-yard run. LSU players had expressed disappointment with the running game a week earlier. Not this time. "This week we put a lot of emphasis on running the football," Hill said. "It is always good to get back into the grove." The Tigers gained 307 yards on the ground, with two 100-yard rushers. "We needed to have some tempo and some feel for the running game," Miles said. "I felt like tonight was an example of what its supposed to look like." Landrys first touchdown came on a leaping catch in a crowd on a ball Mettenberger threw under pressure from 21 yards out. Landrys second score came after what would have been Hills third TD of the first half was wiped out by an illegal block. Mettenberger hit Landry cutting across the middle, and the receiver easily turned the corner near the right sideline to complete a 31-yard scoring play that made it 31-7 in the second quarter. Kent State quarterback Colin Reardon completed 20 of 29 passes for 190 yards, ran for a short touchdown and was not intercepted. However, the Golden Flashes (1-2) allowed at least 570 yards for a second straight week and never threatened after falling behind 21-0. Kent States only touchdown came on a 2-yard end run by Reardon earlier in the second quarter. Anthony Melchioris 37-yard field goal made it 31-10 shortly before halftime. Although the Golden Flashes managed only a field goal in the second half, they sustained several drives into Tigers territory, giving coach Paul Haynes hope his team would fare better at Penn State next week, and in the Mid-American Conference thereafter. "Weve got to stick together. Weve got to make sure we continue to get better and we will," Haynes said. "Our guys are still hungry, and every goal that we wanted to accomplish, we still can." LSU, meanwhile, continued to rotate numerous young players into action on a defence that lost most of its starters in the off-season. The unit sacked Reardon twice, with D.J. Welter (the first of his career) and Ego Ferguson registering one each. LSUs victory came after a week in which a series of Sports Illustrated articles highlighted claims by former Oklahoma State players of booster payments and other misconduct from 2001-11, a span covering Miles four years at the school before he came to LSU in 2005. Miles asserted this week that he ran the Oklahoma State program with integrity and added after the game that he wasnt allowing the allegations to affect him or his team. "I am not distracted from my appointed rounds and duties, simply put," Miles said. Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey . General manager David Poile called signing Ribeiro a great opportunity to add a talented, experienced and creative centre Tuesday when he introduced the veteran at a news conference. Ribeiros contract is worth $1.05 million after being bought out of the final three years of a $22 million contract by the Coyotes recently.

Some members of the U.S. Congress arent so sure. They say Russia isnt doing enough to assure that athletes will be protected at the Feb. 7-23 games, happening not far from an Islamic insurgency that Russias huge security apparatus has struggled for two decades to quell. Russia may run greater risks in towns outside the tightly controlled Olympic zone. Suicide bombs last month a few hundred kilometres (miles) away have increased concerns, and an Islamic warlord has urged his followers to attack the Sochi Olympics, Russian President Vladimir Putins pet project. Alex Cappa Buccaneers Jersey . "Weve given ourselves now a tougher task," said Carlyle after the Friday practice, the Toronto head coach notably chipper and upbeat throughout. "But the bottom line is we just have to win our share of games [and] not worry about what anybody else is doing. Vinny Curry Jersey . "Youre next." Hardly. Iguodala tormented his former team with a game better than any he ever played in eight seasons with the 76ers.The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be looking to upgrade their pitching staff, though theyre not tipping their hand too far. Speaking with reporters on Friday, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that once pitcher Masahiro Tanaka signs with an MLB club, some moves could follow for Toronto. "I think once something happens with Tanaka, some things could break. Whether anything happens with us, nobody knows." When asked what general manager Alex Anthopoulos and the Blue Jays management was looking for in the free agent market, Gibbons said they "may be looking at some different pitchers." However he stopped short of saying the Jays need to bring in another player on the mound. "We like the group we have here, we said that all last year, we just didnt play as well as we expected to. As far as the talent we have and players on the field, were very satisfied. Everybodys looking for pitching, there are verry few teams who are satisfied where theyre at.dddddddddddd." As to whether or not the Jays will attempt to make a play for Tanaka, Gibbons said only that the Jays had looked in to him. "Theyre feeling around, seeing whats going on with him but I think most of the teams out there have at least put out some feelers on him. Hes going to make a lot of money, I know that." Gibbons said he knows fans were disappointed by the teams 74-88 record and that the team must improve. "I expect us to be much better this year just with the guys we have, whether there are any more additions or not." Gibbons did point out, however, that theres still time to make moves before the season begins on March 31. "Well see...there are still a couple months before the season starts. Were not sure whats going to happen," said the manager. "I like this group, we like this group."
