SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For the first two drives of the game, Chip Kellys offense was clicking for the San Francisco 49ers. Blaine Gabbert made big throws, the running game was productive and the team converted third downs with ease.After jumping out to a quick 14-point lead, everything seemed to stall and the Niners stumbled to their third straight loss, falling 24-17 to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.We just couldnt keep that momentum going, left tackle Joe Staley said. It was very frustrating. It was just one of those games.The performance over the final three quarters is becoming all too familiar to the 49ers, who have struggled to generate much consistent offense in their first year running Kellys up-tempo, spread system.After gaining 143 yards, scoring two touchdowns and all six third-down opportunities in the first two drives, San Francisco was held to 152 yards, three points and just two third-down conversions over the final 43:55.We started fast like we wanted to all week, Gabbert said. Got the run game going. Got some passes in there. Jumped up to 14-0 and just stalled there a little bit. We got to watch the film to really see the reasons why.The Niners (1-3) made third downs a priority after failing to convert the first 10 opportunities in a loss at Seattle last week. That seemed to pay off when ran for one on the first drive and then followed up with two long conversions through the air.He hit Quinton Patton on a 13-yard pass on third-and-12 and then found Jeremy Kerley alone for a 33-yard touchdown on a third-and-7 play.Gabbert converted another third down with a keeper on the next drive and added a 13-yard pass to Garrett Celek to convert a third-and-9 before Carlos Hyde capped the drive with a 3-yard run on third-and-1 to make it 14-0.Thats about all the offense did all game as San Francisco converted its next third down on the following drive before going 1-for-7 the rest of the way, a big factor in another loss.The offensive woes could be summed up by the final drives in the fourth quarter. With San Francisco trailing 21-17, the offense took over near midfield with a chance to take the lead.Gabbert then took a rare deep shot down the field. Torrey Smith got behind the Dallas defense and Gabbert launched a pass his way that could have been a go-ahead touchdown if he had thrown it well. Instead, the pass was well behind Smith and Morris Claiborne managed to recover in time to make the interception .We were both frustrated, Gabbert said. That was a huge play in the game. Every game in the league comes down to one or two plays that change the outcome and that definitely had an impact on it and thats on me. I got to throw that ball to the middle of the field and let him go get it.Smith, who hadnt been targeted all game before that point, slammed his helmet in frustration as he went to the sideline.The Cowboys drove down for a field goal but San Francisco still had a chance to tie it on the next possession. Gabbert quickly moved the team to the Dallas 35 before the two-minute warning.Gabbert then threw an incomplete pass to Kerley on third-and-6 before connecting on a short throw to Smith, who was stopped 3 yards short of the marker .Dallas ran out the clock and the Niners were left to lament another loss.Gabbert finished 16 for 23 for 196 yards with the one TD and one interception. He also ran 12 times for 27 yards and still has Kellys confidence to remain the starter ahead of Colin Kaepernick.I thought Blaine played well besides that one throw, Kelly said.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Michael Thomas Saints Jersey .

With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- From now on, Florida defensive tackle Cece Jefferson will think of LSUs Tiger Stadium as Swamp West.Its not simply because the Gators were supposed to host LSU this season before Hurricane Matthew blew ashore in October. There was also the matter of all the chatter suggesting Florida had tried to dodge LSU some six weeks ago -- and had used the storm as an excuse.But when time expired on Saturday, the orange-clad Gators were storming the field in euphoria after a dramatic goal-line stand preserved 16-10 triumph over the heavily favored, 16th-ranked Tigers -- and wrapped up Floridas second straight the Southeastern Conference East Division crown.There was a lot of buildup coming into the game, Gators defensive back Quincy Wilson said. The East was in our hands. The whole thing with the little hurricane and they were saying we were scared or whatever. Clearly, we aint scared. We came into their place and handled business.Florida had balked at initial offers to move the game to LSU as Hurricane Matthew approached in early October, or to play at home one or two days after the originally scheduled time. That left the SEC little choice but to postpone the game until both teams could buy out non-league opponents more than a month later. But LSU refused to give up a home game, forcing Florida to travel if it wanted a shot to play for a conference title.The way I look at it, they got what they deserved -- and it should have been worse, Florida coach Jim McElwain said about LSU.There was trash talking during warmups -- and ultimately a pre-game scuffle. Floridas Wilson was in the middle of it.One of their guys was in my way and I bumped into him on purpose to set it off, Wilson said. It gave us a lot of juice. Because, you know, they were disrespecting us and they disrespected us on the field. So just to send a little message that were not just going to take whatever yall trying to do.ddddddddddddWilson found it fitting that the scuffle began among defensive backs from the two teams. Both programs like to boast that they are DBU, because of all the NFL prospects they seem to have annually in their respective defensive backfields.With that in mind, Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor delighted in the fact that Floridas lone touchdown came on a 98-yard passing play from Austin Appleby to Tyrie Cleveland.DBU? Tabor said incredulously, referring to the longest scoring pass LSU has ever allowed in Tiger Stadium. Oh, wow!Several Gators made reference to their 6-0 record at home this season, even thought theyd played only five true home games in the real Swamp.It was also a special moment for veteran Gators who had yet to beat LSU. The Tigers had won the previous three meetings.Its the greatest feeling in the world man, because we just felt disrespected, you feel me? Florida defensive tackle Caleb Brantley said. Like, youre going to come at us and say were scared, when yall didnt want to come to Gainesville? So, you know what Im saying? We just going to come whoop yall in yalls stadium. Straight, like that.Brantley called the raucous celebration that erupted after LSU running back Derrius Guice was stopped inches short of the goal line on the final play one of the best feelings I ever had as a Gator.Someone then asked about another rivalry game notorious for trash talking that is next on the schedule: Floridas visit to Florida State next Saturday.Ill look at Florida State tomorrow, Brantley said. Right now, Im enjoying this.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
