PITTSBURGH -- For the better part of four hours Pittsburgh and Syracuse raced up and down the Heinz Field turf like kids playing in the street waiting for their parents to call them in for dinner. The touchdowns kept piling up, one after another. An absurd 20 in all.When Pitt quarterback Nate Peterman mercifully ended it with a simple kneel down to run out a 76-61 victory -- the highest scoring regulation game in FBS history -- the Panthers trotted toward the band for one last victory song caught somewhere between relief and disbelief, their head coach included.Ive never been in a game like that, Pat Narduzzi said. I dont ever want to be in a game like that again. But Ill go back and say theres no such thing as a bad win.If anything, it was a memorable one for the Panthers (8-4, 5-3), who capped a season that included victories over Clemson and Penn State with a performance that looks like a typo or something borrowed from the annual basketball showdowns by the former Big East foes turned ACC rivals. Pitts point total was actually higher than anything the schools basketball team mustered in three wins over the Orange last season and the most Syracuse has ever surrendered in a program that dates back to 1899.The combined point total (137) beat the previous FBS record of 136 set in 2007 when Navy outlasted North Texas 74-62.Half of me is jumping for joy with what our offense did today, Narduzzi said. The other half of me, makes me sick.Pitt survived thanks in part to 251 yards passing and four touchdowns by Peterman, who added a diving 13-yard score on the ground, and 160 total yards and three scores by running back James Conner. The Panthers needed only 24:18 to put up 644 total yards and averaged 10.9 yards per play.No, really.And still Pitt never really got comfortable, not even after Quadree Hendersons 66-yard sprint gave the Panthers a 49-21 lead with 8:59 in the third quarter. Ten more touchdowns were to come.Im thinking were about to put up 80 points in a football game, Henderson said. Are we playing basketball or football? It was definitely weird.The Orange (4-8, 2-6) ended coach Dino Babers first season a fourth straight loss but hardly rolled over when things looked bleak. Backup quarterback Zack Mahoney kept chipping away against the nations 127th ranked pass defense. Mahoney threw for 440 yards and five scores, all of them to Amba Etta-Tawo, and ran for two more.Three times in the fourth quarter Syracuse pulled to within two touchdowns only to have Pitt answer quickly on a day the teams combined for 1,312 yards, something hard to do in video games, let alone real life.Its fun being out there and putting up all those points, Mahoney said. When it comes down to it, the only important stat at the end of the days is wins and losses.STAYING PUT?Babers brushed aside any speculation he might have any interest in the coaching vacancy in Houston now that Tom Herman has jumped to Texas.I am 100 percent locked in here at Syracuse, said Babers, who just completed his first season with the Orange.LAST CALLConner, who extended his ACC record for career touchdowns to 56, reiterated he will wait until after Pitts bowl game to make a decision about whether to return for his senior season or head to the NFL. A year after being diagnosed with cancer, Conner finished the regular season with 1,060 yards to become the fifth back in school history with two 1,000-yard seasons.TAKEAWAYSyracuse: Etta-Tawo will likely be getting paid to catch the football in the NFL next fall. The graduate transfer from Maryland finished with 13 catches for 178 yards. His five receiving touchdowns gave him 14 on the season, tying Tommy Kanes school record.Pitt: The Panthers finished the regular season with a three-game winning streak for the first time since 2004 and offensive coordinator Matt Canada will likely be a hot property after Pitt set a school record for points in a season (508). Yet theres plenty for Narduzzi -- who built Michigan State into a defensive power during his long run as coordinator there -- to work on.People like scoring a lot of points ... fans like a lot of points, Narduzzi said. Were going to buckle down. Thats not going to happen again.UP NEXTSyracuse: The loss ended any outside shot at a bowl game.Pitt: Likely played its way into an upper-tier ACC bowl thanks to a resume that includes wins over Clemson and Penn State.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Cheap Air Max 97 Brown China . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.

Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said.The Lodha Committee has refused the BCCIs request for directions on the release of funds to state associations despite the boards warning that domestic cricket could come to a standstill. The Committee said the only remedy available to the state associations was to comply with the Supreme Courts order of October 21.The court had asked BCCI to cease and desist from disbursement of funds for any purpose to the state units unless they submitted an affidavit stating they would adopt the Lodha Committee recommendations. Only three state associations - Vidarbha, Tripura and Rajasthan [the last not recognised by the board] - have adopted all the recommendations. The other units have been reluctant and have sought the BCCIs guidance on the matter.You have sought the Committees directions for release of payments to Associations in connection with players allowances, hotels, transport, hosting fees, etc., the Committee noted in an e-mail sent to BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke on Thursday. Paragraph 20(i) of the order dated 21st October 2016 the of Honble Supreme Court mandates compliance by the State Associations concerned before disbursement of any funds by the BCCI. Therefore the question of the Committee issuing any directions in that behalf does not arise.Shirke had written to the Committee on October 28 stating the BCCI was facing issues with the release of payments to state units, and pointed out that allowances to players, match officials, umpires, hosting fees to states for using their crricket infrastructure, payment to hotels, airlines, ground transport agencies could not be carried out as a result.ddddddddddddThe Committee may issue suitable direction in this regard failing which the domestic cricket season shall come to a standstill, he said.According to Shirke, the state associations of Odisha, Hyderabad, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir and Assam had written requesting funds for their daily operations, failing which they would not be able to operate and cricket in the region shall suffer and come to a standstill.The Committee told Shirke that no exceptions could be made for these five states and they had no choice but to follow the court order. The Committee also asked Shirke to submit, within the next five days, the Deloitte report on Project Transformation, instituted by former BCCI president Shashank Manohar when he took over the role in October last year. Deloitte, the accounting firm, was appointed to strengthen organisational and governing structure related to accounting and operating practice.With regard to the Associations of Orissa, Hyderabad, Jammu & Kashmir and Assam mentioned by you, you are directed to furnish the Report obtained by the BCCI from M/s. Deloitte on State Associations, as well as any undertakings submitted by the State Associations pursuant thereto. This shall be submitted within 5 days from today, the Committee said. ' ' '
