EDMONTON, Alberta -- Auston Matthews helped get the Toronto Maple Leafs three-game trip off to a solid start.Auston Matthews scored his 10th goal of the season as the Maple Leafs got just their second road win of the season, beating the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Tuesday night.I think we stuck to the game plan the whole 60 minutes and we didnt get away from it too much, Matthews said. We got pucks in deep and kind of just played heavy down there, grinding them down low. Theyre a very good rush team, so we wanted to eliminate that from them. So I think we did a pretty good job of that tonight.James van Riemsdyk, Nazem Kadri and Zach Hyman also scored for Toronto, which has won two straight and improved to 2-5-4 on the road. Frederik Andersen stopped 28 shots.It probably wasnt our prettiest win, but were very happy to kick off this road trip with two points, Toronto assistant captain Morgan Rielly said. I think that when you look at our team, I think that speed is one thing that stands out, so when you play teams like Edmonton with the amount of speed that they had and the amount of skill that they have, its important that we have our legs with us, were skating and were keeping up with them.Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist and Andrej Sekera also scored for the Oilers, who have lost three in a row. Cam Talbot gave up four goals on 14 shots over the first two periods, and Jonas Gustavsson stopped all nine shots he faced in the third.Its frustrating, the highs and lows, said McDavid, who had his ninth multi-point game of the season. Its stupid mistakes that are costing us. We just have to bear down.Toronto took a 1-0 lead not long after Edmontons Ryan Nugent-Hopkins rang a shot off the post. William Nylander made a great pass on a rush and Matthews directed the puck past Talbot at 5:45 of the first.Andersen made 12 saves in the opening period, including a huge glove stop to rob Leon Draisaitl in tight.Less than 3 minutes into the second, van Riemsdyk was left completely alone in front of the Oilers net and had three whacks at the puck before getting it past Talbot for his 10th.Sekera beat Andersen on a long shot from the point 2:01 later to cut the deficit in half.Kadri restored the two-goal lead at 6:00. Leo Komarov picked a puck off Oilers defender Matt Benning and got it across to Kadri, who became the third Toronto player to get his 10th goal of the season in the game.Hyman extended Torontos lead to 4-1 with just over 3 minutes remaining in the middle period, swatting in a puck that bounced around in front of the net.Oilers forward Milan Lucic said his team once again fell into the trap of reacting rather than creating.Its almost like we were kind of waiting for the first thing to happen rather than going out there and making it happen, he said. That is still something we are learning as a young group. No matter whom you are playing, you have to get up for the games. It starts here in this dressing room and creating that emotion before the puck.The Oilers cut into the lead four minutes into the third as McDavid made the most of a partial breakaway, scoring his 11th goal and league-leading 31st point.Game notes It was the second and final meeting between the Oilers and Maple Leafs this season. Toronto won the first contest 3-2 in overtime at the beginning of November.UP NEXTToronto: At Calgary on Wednesday night.Oilers: At Winnipeg on Thursday night. Charles Woodson Raiders Jersey .

Left guard Zack Bailey doesnt see why that has to end against No. 4 Clemson.Theyre just another team, thats all it is, Bailey said Tuesday. Anyone can be beaten at any time.Topping the Tigers (10-1, No. 4 CFP) seems like a tall order, even for the resurgent Gamecocks (6-5) who took down then 18th-ranked Tennessee last month in doubling their win total from a year ago. But Its not, Bailey said, not as long as the young Gamecocks dont let the moment -- along with the frenzied, sold-out crowd at Death Valley -- rattle them.Weve just got to be mentally focused, thats the biggest thing, he said. Know our assignments and do our job.Clemson has certainly opened the door at times this year for less-talented teams to hang in games at Memorial Stadium.Troy scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter of Clemsons 30-24 victory in September. A month later, North Carolina State missed a last-second, 33-yard field goal for the win before the Tigers won in overtime. And then two weeks ago, it was Pitts Chris Blewitt with a 48-yard field goal at the end to lift the Panthers to a 43-42 upset at Clemson for its lone loss this year.In some of their past games, there are teams that have walked in there under those same circumstances and theyve put it to them, Bailey said.First-year coach Will Muschamp has put focus on the Clemson rivalry all year, continually reminding players to win the state.Its not going to take a flawless effort; its not going to take anything spectacular. We just need to go play well, Muschamp said.South Carolina charge began last month with the team 2-4 and struggling mightily on offense. Gamecocks first-year coach Will Muschamp put quarterback Jake Bentley -- coaches planned for the freshman to redshirt -- into the lineup and the spark was immediate.Bentley threw two touchdown passes (the Gamecocks had only two scoring throws its first six gaames) in a 34-28 win over UMass, then led a 24-21 upset of then 18th-ranked Tennessee.dddddddddddd The teams only defeat in that stretch was in their only road game under Bentley, a 20-7 defeat two weeks back at No. 13 Florida.The quarterbacks teammates say Bentley, a freshman who Muschamp has not yet allowed to speak with the media, wont be fazed by the frenetic atmosphere.Hes 18 years old, but walks in there with the confidence of a fifth-year senior, tight end Hayden Hurst said. I dont expect anything different out of Jake.Bentley left high school a year early to enroll at South Carolina this summer. Hell turn 18 on Wednesday.Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Bentley is not your typical freshman.Bentleys father, Bobby, is the running backs coach at South Carolina. He was also a coach at Byrnes High that won four state championships and produced South Carolina record-setter, ex-tailback Marcus Lattimore.Jake Bentley has two brothers whove played college football. Chad Dodd was a former Rutgers starting quarterback while Shuler Bentley is a QB at Old Dominion.He is obviously well-groomed to be a very successful college quarterback, Swinney said.Jake Bentleys been helped by other rising young players on South Carolinas offense. Freshman Rico Dowdle has surpassed 100 yards rushing in three of the past four games, going for 226 yards in last weeks win over Western Carolina. Sophomore Deebo Samuel tops receivers with 41 catches, all but 10 of those coming with Bentley at quarterback, for 579 yards.Samuel, who had a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in last weeks win over Western Carolina, said his focus is on continuing the streak and spoiling Clemsons chances of returning to the playoffs.Were going out there with a little more energy trying to ruin their season, Samuel said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
