Ingram, Tide roll over Chattanooga 45-0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two long touchdowns in the first half, and No. 2 Alabama breezed to a 45-0 win over Chattanooga on Saturday.

Men's College Basketball Roundup Syracuse Shows Off New Talent in Win
Four prime pieces from North Carolina’s run to the national championship last season graduated to the N.B.A., led by the four-time first-team all-American forward Tyler Hansbrough. But Syracuse could relate. Point guard Jonny Flynn hit the N.B.A. lottery with the Minnesota Timberwolves and two other starters from a Round-of-16 team left to chase their professional dreams.
Still, North Carolina and Syracuse are among the top five winningest programs in college basketball for a reason: there is always talent in the pipeline. They met Friday night for the first time since 1987, an early-season test for two unbeaten teams at Madison Square Garden in the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer.
The game had more of a March than November feel with the talent on the court and the electricity in the crowd. Syracuse (4-0), unranked in The Associated Press poll but not for long, stunned No. 6 North Carolina by scoring 22 of the first 23 points in the second half and went on to claim the title with an 87-71 victory.

"In the reply, FIFA states that the result of the match cannot be changed and the match cannot be replayed," FIFA said in a statement. "As is clearly mentioned in the Laws of the Game, during matches, decisions are taken by the referee and these decisions are final."
Henry used his left hand to keep the ball from going out of play, then passed to William Gallas, who headed in the decisive goal. At the time of Henry's unpunished handball, the match was 17 minutes from reaching a penalty shootout.
