SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Being down 17-0 to Syracuse was no problem for South Florida on Saturday. Not with its quick-strike offense. And not with the Bulls playing in the Carrier Dome, one of its favorite road venues.Its a great environment, we just had to block out the crowd, come out and play football, said receiver Rodney Adams, who scored three touchdowns. The turf felt like a speed track. I liked it.The rest of his teammates did, too, especially after the first quarter when the Bulls (3-0) found themselves trailing big. All the Bulls did the rest of the way was outscore the Orange (1-2) 45-3 for a 45-20 win. The victory moved South Florida to 5-0 at the Dome.It was a slow start, but we had to just calm down and play football like we normally do, Adams said. Thats exactly what we did. Coach (Willie) Taggart preached about facing adversity. We calmed down and just played football.Syracuse dominated the first 15 minutes but its offense stalled and defense yielded quick scores the rest of the way. The Bulls stormed back to win in a laugher.Were got hit by a storm, said running back Marlon Mack, who added two scores, but Coach T said we just need to fight back and stay calm.We knew wed face adversity and I wanted to see how this 2016 team handled it, Taggart said. They didnt flinch. They (Syracuse) threw the first punch and our guys kind of took it, then our guys settled down and thing started to really take off for us.I thought the first part of the game we were able to do the things we wanted to do, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. I thought we started off well. Once the second quarter, third quarter, second half (started), we werent quite able to finish. I thought we could really win that game and Im a little disappointed that we didnt.The Bulls, who have won 10 of their last 12 games, gained at least 200 yards on the ground for the eighth-straight game, led by Macks 115. South Florida has scored 149 points this season. The Bulls had four scoring drives under two minutesDespite the lopsided score, the Orange outgained the Bulls 549-456 and had 30 first downs to the Bulls 20. But things werent close on the scoreboard as the Bulls kept the Orange out of the end zone in the final 45 minutes despite a stifling Dome and despite Syracuse running 105 plays, which shattered the school single-game record and tied the most in ACC history.Heat? We live in Florida, Taggart said. It was a little cool in there today. We just tried to keep our guys fresh, and rotate them in and out the best we could.Taggart said his defense made some basic adjustments after the first quarter.Tackling, tackling, tackling, he said. There were a lot of missed tackles early and our guys did a better job of tackling.

Nick Ritchie Ducks JerseyThere are two main issues for Tiger Woods as he prepares to return to competitive golf after multiple back procedures:How well will his back hold up to the rigors of practice and play? And will he be able to use his usual swing going forward, given the jarring motion involved?Fred Couples, who was dogged by back issues throughout his career, once said: I can speak for a back. A lot of things are going to feel different, and I didnt even have surgery.But while I have not examined Woods directly, I believe he should be able to have a sustained return to the sport, provided a few provisions:If he wants any chance of a sustained return, he needs to play a lighter -- albeit consistent -- schedule. If I were his doctor, Id say, Lets set realistic practice and play goals that will hold up over the long term. Create a practice schedule that is sufficiently condensed so that injury is avoided while maintaining an acceptable level of play. At this point, being the hardest worker on the course will probably lead to additional health issues and a complete absence from the PGA Tour.Keep an eye on hhis swing.dddddddddddd He needs to move to a tempo that lessens, if not eliminates, his more violent acceleration from the top. Think Ernie Els- or Couples-like tempos.Continue to reinforce what he likely used to build back strength during rehab: Work diligently on flexibility and core strength. No one has better core strength than Tiger. Weightlifting exercises, meanwhile, should be avoided -- they will only create stiffness and irritability in his back.If Tiger can stick to this outline, it will increase his chances of a successful return.A look back at Tigers injuriesTiger Woods injuries have been well documented throughout his career, starting in his collegiate days at Stanford and continuing throughout his nearly 20 years on the PGA Tour:Click here for a complete outline of Woods injuries.Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Adickes, a former offense lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins, is currently a medical analyst for ESPN and ESPN.com.
