EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- They may have been playing a game that determined which team would finish last in the American Athletic Conference but Tulane coach Willie Fritz said his players were extremely motivated against UConn Saturday.Running backs Lazedrick Thompson and Josh Rounds combined for five touchdowns and Tulane snapped a six-game losing streak with a 38-13 win over UConn Saturday night in the season finale for both teams.Its been a really frustrating season, Fritz said. We talked last night about how this is a game of pride. We have to come out, and number one, pride is something pretty important to play for. I thought our guys really exhibited a lot of competitiveness, toughness in all three phases.Tulane (4-8, 1-7 American) scored the games first 24 points to break a 14-game conference losing streak. Its last conference win came against Central Florida, 45-31, Oct. 3, 2015.UConn (3-9, 1-7) saw its season end on a six-game losing streak.Tough game. Tough year. Long, hard year, UConn coach Bob Diaco said. Expectations were spectacularly high. Obviously performance and production was spectacularly low.Thompson finished with 108 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns, including a 45-yard jaunt in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring.Rounds had 78 yards rushing on 16 carries and two touchdowns.UConns Arkeel Newsome scored both of UConns touchdowns. He ran for a season-high 166 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while adding 28 yards and another score on two catches.Donovan Williams, a true freshman making his third career start, completed 11-of-26 passes for 104 yards for the Huskies. He had two interceptions and his first career touchdown pass.Tulane entered the game ranked 119th nationally in total offense and UConn was 122nd. Some had thought the game might resemble last years meeting in New Orleans, a game UConn won 7-3.Tulanes Larry Bryant blocked a UConn punt on the fifth play of the game, setting his team up at the 23-yard line for its first possession. But the Green Wave settled for a 23-yard Andrew DiRocco field goal and a 3-0 lead.After quickly forcing another UConn punt, a 32-yard pass from Glen Cuiellette to tight end Kendall Ardoin set the Green Wave up with a first-and-goal. Rounds scored on a 1-yard plunge two plays later.Field position made it easy, said Cuiellette, whose team held a 19-minute advantage in time of possession. It was a whole different mentality going in there for a drive starting on the 25, 20, inside the red zone. It makes it easier on us.Tulane led 10-0 after one quarter as UConn completed the season without scoring a first-quarter touchdown -- the only team in the nation that failed to do so. The Huskies were outscored 76-9 in the first quarter this season.UConn wide receiver Noel Thomas caught six passes and finished with a school-record 100 this season. He also carried the ball three times for 20 yards and completed a pass to Williams on an early trick play.UConn safety Obi Melifonwu made 24 tackles, tying the school record, in the loss.THE TAKEAWAYUConn: Some fans and media have called for Diacos firing but the $5 million buyout his contract calls for makes that a difficult proposition for the school. He said he expects to return. No doubt. I have a contract until 2021. Unless my calendar is wrong, its 2016, Diaco said.Tulane: Fritz earned his first-ever American Athletic Conference win thanks to an inspired group that made big defensive and special teams plays: two blocked kicks and two interceptions.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies season is over and Diacos tenure with the team is in doubt.Tulane: The Green Waves season is over as well, albeit with a little more momentum.Kyrie Flytrap Shoes For Sale .

He played college football for the University of California, where he set multiple records, including passing yards and touchdowns. Join our Thanksgiving studio audience! Be a part of Sky Sports live studio audience for NFL Thanksgiving show. Goff was tipped as the first quarterback to be taken throughout his final year with the Golden Bears, but the emergence of Carson Wentz at North Dakota State made it a straight shootout for the two. The Rams organisation were in the process of moving to Los Angeles from St. Louis, and had decided that none of their current crop of quarterbacks - Nick Foles, Case Keenum and Sean Mannion - were the face of the franchises new chapter.Instead they looked to draft Goff, trading six of their picks to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for the 2016 first overall pick. Rookie quarterback Goff will start for the Los Angeles Rams against Miami Dolphins Under the scrutiny of Hard Knocks, Goff joined the Rams for training camp but struggled to get to grips with the playbook and command the offence.During his college career, Goff had played in a spread offence system, where he didnt call plays or have to survey the whole field before throwing, and looked out of his depth throughout the training camp and going into pre-season. Every rookie quarterback has to learn by playing - the speed of NFL defenders and the ability to make pinpoint throws in pressure situations is learned by practise on the field. Goff struggled to learn the playbook in pre-season, causing two turnovers in his only start However after an uninspiring pre-season, where Goff compiled three fumbles and two interceptions, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher announced that Keenum would be the season starter, which he has remained until now.It has been a disappointing start to life in Los Angeles for a Rams team that demanded to be taken serioously at the start of the season.dddddddddddd Following a 28-0 shutout loss to the San Francisco 49ers (the 49ers only win to date) in the season opener, the Rams have limped to a 4-5 record. Case Keenum (#17) beat out Goff for the starting quarterback job Behind a poor offensive line, Rookie of the Year Todd Gurley has struggled to get anything going, and Keenum has balanced nine touchdowns with 11 interceptions. The Rams have played three games without scoring a touchdown this season, and Fisher has decided the time is right to debut Goff.I dont want to say its a new era, but in a lot of ways it is, Fisher said. Jared Goffs going to be under centre this week at home against a really good defensive team in the Miami Dolphins, so a big challenge ahead.Were committed to this. We didnt do what we did this offseason and trade for Jared to just spot-play him over the next five or six weeks. Even though theres people out there saying, Well youre doing it now because your playoff chances arent real good. Well, no, our play-off chances are still fine.

One, we feel like this is the best decision. Two, he has the chance to help us win football games.Whether Goff is really ready, or Fishers hand has been forced following a string of disappointing displays from Keenum remains to be seen. The Rams have more than enough quality to beat the Dolphins, and if Goff can help them push for a play-off wildcard spot, or even improve on the lowly 15.4 points scored which Los Angeles are averaging, his appointment will be an upgrade. The fans have been chanting for Goff, and now they will see exactly what their franchise invested so much to get.
