Tuscaloosa, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Derrick Henry scored three touchdowns to help No. 2 Alabama to a 48-14 win over Western Carolina on Saturday. Henry rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns and added a 9-yard touchdown catch for the Crimson Tide (10-1), who took a break from their SEC schedule with an FCS opponent prior to next weeks Iron Bowl against arch-rival Auburn. Blake Sims was 17-of-25 passing for 222 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the win. Alabama star wide receiver Amari Cooper left the game with an apparent left knee injury after taking a hard hit in the first quarter. Cooper had three receptions for 46 yards. Chris Black took over in his absence and hauled in six passes for 101 yards. Troy Mitchell threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns to Spearman Robinson for Western Carolina (7-5), which has lost all four meetings with the Crimson Tide. Western Carolina got off to a promising start as Mitchells 2-yard touchdown pass to Robinson capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive on the opening possession of the game. I dont think that we started the game out the way wed hoped to or how we planned, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. We wanted to maintain focus, and I thought the players did a really good job all week of practicing well and preparing for the game. But Alabama, which can clinch a spot in the SEC championship game with a win over Auburn, responded with 17 straight points, though it lost Cooper in the process. On 3rd-and-20, Cooper ran a dig route and caught the ball along the near sideline before racing inside the Catamounts 4 for a 27-yard gain. Cooper, a favorite to win the Biletnikoff Award given to the nations top receiver, took a solid hit to the left knee and limped off the field to the sideline. After receiving attention from medical personnel, Cooper walked into the locker room for further observation. He jogged out to the field moments later, but he still moved with a noticeable limp and did not return. Fellow wide receiver DeAndrew White (hamstring) and running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) were held out of the lineup due to injury. The Crimson Tide tied the game a play later on Sims 4-yard toss to Cam Sims. Gunnar Raborn, who filled in for Adam Griffith, kicked a 20-yard field goal late in the first and Henrys 10-yard touchdown run early in the second gave the hosts a 17-7 advantage. Following a Henry fumble later in the quarter, Mitchell and Robinson hooked up again for another touchdown that cut the deficit to three. Alabama crushed any hope of an upset victory from the Catamounts with 21 straight points to end the half. Tyren Jones capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive with a 7-yard TD scamper and Henry bolted into the end zone from 23 yards out to make it 31-14 with 3:16 left. Sims threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Henry with under a minute left to make it 38-14 Jake Coker came on at quarterback to begin the second half and led a 51-yard drive out of the locker room that resulted in a 28-yard field goal by Raborn. Western Carolina drove deep into Alabama territory on its ensuing possession, but a fake field goal attempt on fourth down was unsuccessful. Coker then led another scoring drive, completing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Michael Nysewander to account for the final margin. Coach Sabans built a dynasty, and we got a lot of respect for that, said Catamounts coach Mark Speir. Game Notes Yeldon, White and Griffith were all considered day-to-day throughout the week ...

With just under five seconds remaining - the Raptors having clawed back from a 19-point deficit and pulled within one - DeRozan took the handoff from Chuck Hayes.The new-look Toronto Raptors wont have their new faces in the lineup Tuesday night when they welcome the San Antonio Spurs to the Air Canada Centre. Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et. The Raptors traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes. "I honestly want to think Rudy, Quincy and Aaron for their time here," said Raptors General Manager Masai Ujiri. "I think those guys are super professional. It sounds cliche, but Rudy was a great person to work with. Phenomenal, talented player, but it just wasnt working." Gay was averaging 19.4 ppg and 7.4 rpg, but shooting only 39 percent from the field. Money was certainly a factor in the deal as well since Gay has a player option next season for over $19 million. The Raptors may not be done making moves as Kyle Lowrys name has been featured in trade reports. He becomes slightly more expendable now with Vasquez in town. "I never want to say theres nobody," said Ujiri. "I dont want to call out names. If somebody offers us Michael Jordan, am I going to say no? You never know whats going to come your way." The Raptors return home after a 1-2 trip out west.dddddddddddd The lone victory came Sunday night when Toronto, which didnt have the three newest Kings in uniform, spoiled Kobe Bryants season debut. The Raptors beat the Lakers, 106-94. Amir Johnson was dominant with 32 points and 10 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan scored 26 and Lowry finished with 23. Terrence Ross, who should see an increased role at small forward, managed 11 off the bench. The Spurs set out on a two-game trip as they will visit Milwaukee on Wednesday. Center Tiago Splitter didnt make the trip due to a left calf injury. Last time out for San Antonio, the Indiana Pacers came to Alamo City Saturday night and left with a 111-100 victory. The Spurs built an eight-point lead after the first quarter, but the Pacers dominated the middle two frames to the tune of a 67-30 scoring disparity. "In the second quarter, they started making some shots and we werent able to keep up. We went cold, they got that lead, and we couldnt recover," Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with 18 points, followed by 16 from Manu Ginobili. Tony Parker chipped in 13, Duncan and Patty Mills both scored 10 points. The Spurs have won five straight against the Raptors and three in a row in Toronto. ' ' '
