Preview: Rams at 49ers
Gracenote
Sep 19, 2017
A pair of rookie head coaches will square off for the first time when the San Francisco 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in a matchup of longtime NFC West rivals. San Francisco has yet to find the end zone through its first two games, but has won three in a row in the series, including a season sweep against the Rams in 2016.
Although the 49ers acquitted themselves well in a three-point loss at Seattle last week, they have been limited to four field goals under coach Kyle Shanahan, marking the first time in franchise history they haven't scored a touchdown in the opening two games. "I don't think there are any moral victories in the NFL, especially with the way I played," San Francisco quarterback Brian Hoyer said in the wake of the 12-9 defeat to the Seahawks. The Rams were denied a possible 2-0 start under coach Sean McVay after surrendering a late touchdown in a 27-20 setback to the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Los Angeles had the second-worst passing game in the league last season -- behind only San Francisco -- and averaged an NFL-low 14.0 points, but it has amassed 86 points during its 1-1 start.
TV: 8:25 p.m. ET, NFL Network. LINE: Rams -2. O/U: 40
ABOUT THE RAMS (1-1): The semblance of a passing game has provided a boost for third-year back Todd Gurley, who along with Kansas City rookie Kareem Hunt are the only players to amass more than 100 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving. Quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall pick a year ago, was not as sharp as his performance in the season opener but did rally Los Angeles from a pair of double-digit deficits to forge a fourth-quarter tie on Sunday. Sammy Watkins and rookie Cooper Kupp each have seven catches through the first two games to tie for the team lead. Stud defensive tackle Aaron Donald had a quiet debut after returning from a contract dispute but vowed to be better against San Francisco.
ABOUT THE 49ers (0-2): Running back Carlos Hyde is coming off a huge game in Seattle, rushing for 124 yards on only 15 carries while ripping off runs of 61 and 27 yards. Given the state of San Francisco's passing game, expect Shanahan to lean heavily on Hyde, who rambled for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns to carry the 49ers to a 28-0 rout of the Rams in the 2016 season opener. Journeyman Hoyer, playing with his fourth different team in four seasons, needs to rebound from a wretched performance in Seattle when he managed only 99 yards and an interception on 15-of-27 passing. Wideout Pierre Garcon has a team-leading nine receptions, but the 49ers are dealing with myriad injuries in their defensive backfield.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Hyde has scored six touchdowns in his last six games against NFC West foes.
2. Gurley has rushed for 247 yards and a pair of TDs in three meetings versus San Francisco.
3. 49ers S Eric Reid (knee) will miss several weeks while S Jaquiski Tartt (neck) is questionable for Thursday's game.

Preview: Temple at South Florida
Gracenote
Sep 19, 2017
Quinton Flowers could be battling his way back into the Heisman Trophy conversation after a big performance and the star quarterback looks to help 17th-ranked South Florida build momentum when it opens American Athletic Conference play against visiting Temple on Thursday night. Flowers accounted for 386 of the team’s 680 yards and five touchdowns in the 47-23 win over Illinois last week and next hopes to avenge the Bulls’ last loss.
The Owls knocked off USF 46-30 last October in Philadelphia and the Bulls have won eight in a row since to match a school record, led by an offense that has produced at least 30 points in a national-best 20 consecutive games while averaging 40 in the first three of 2017. Temple is not the same team as last year, but its defense has shown it can make plays with 14 sacks in the first three games - nine last week in a 29-21 win over Massachusetts. The Owls have won two in a row since getting pounded 49-16 by Notre Dame in their opener and boast four receivers with at least eight catches and 100 yards in the first three contests. The Owls have leaned on their passing attack, which has produced 262.3 yards per game with no interceptions, and South Florida’s improving defense has picked off eight passes in the first three games.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: USF -19
TEMPLE (2-1): Sophomore quarterback Logan Marchi has thrown for 767 yards in the first three games with five touchdown passes, but the ground attack has not been as productive. Junior running back Ryquell Armstead tops the Owls with 177 yards rushing, but the team is averaging 2.9 per carry in the early going while senior Keith Kirkwood (12 catches, 185 yards), sophomore Isaiah Wright (nine, 180) and senior Adonis Jennings (eight, 146) have all been factors through the air. Freshman end Quincy Roche, who was named co-AAC defensive player of the week Monday, owns four sacks while junior defensive back Delvon Russell has 28 tackles.
SOUTH FLORIDA (3-0): The Bulls struggled often defensively last year, but they are showing the ability to take the ball away in the early going and have not allowed a point in the third quarter in the first three games. “It’s a different feeling (from last season) because the defense is playing lights out,” USF’s leading rusher senior Darius Tice (256 yards) told reporters. “This is a new feeling.” Junior defensive back Ronnie Hoggins and sophomore linebacker Nico Sawtelle lead a balanced unit with 18 tackles each while both own an interception for the Bulls, who are 14th in the nation in rushing defense (89.3 yards) after permitting just 67 last Friday against Illinois.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Flowers needs one rushing touchdown to pass Marlon Mack (32) for the school’s all-time record and is second alone in TD passes (54).
2. Temple junior WR and Tampa native Ventell Bryant, needs four receptions and 48 yards receiving to move into the top 10 at the school in both categories.
3. USF RB D’Ernest Johnson boasts 64 career receptions, one behind Mack for second in school history among players at his position.

CONSEQUENTIAL - Believe in this pony. Coming off the pace, I think he'll be in a fabulous spot to crush them in the stretch. Last raced at Arlington carrying 7 pounds more. The lower weight assigned in this field should serve him well. SUMMER SPICE - Have to give this gelding a good shot. Ran a sharp effort last time out within the last 30 days. This thoroughbred is for real on the turf. TrackMaster turf number in last race at Arlington was tops in this bunch. In this race here, this horse has clearly shown signs that he likes the grass. His speed ratings are the highest in the field for this distance-surface. The 86 latest race speed figure looks good in the TrackMaster PPs. FIND SILVER - Ranked number 1 in earnings per start. Another indication that this equine is classy.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 NEW YORK BOY (ML=5/1), #13 HIDE THE EVIDENCE (ML=5/1), #4 GREYT OAK (ML=8/1),
NEW YORK BOY - In the last event this less than sharp equine finished fourth. Doesn't look good for his chances in today's event. The rating last race out doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the class figure of today's race. Mark this racer as a likely underlay. HIDE THE EVIDENCE - Not probable that the rating he recorded on September 1st will be good enough in this event. GREYT OAK - 8/1 is not enough of a price to take on most any thoroughbred that has run poorly in back to back outings. This steed ran a quite unimpressive speed figure last time out. He shouldn't show signs of improvement and will probably get beat in today's race running that fig.

This race is named in honor of William Entenmann III, a longtime steeplechase owner, who was the grandson of the founder of Entenmann's bakery. A racing enthusiast, he became heavily involved in the sport following the family's sale of the nationally known bakery in 1978. He continued to work in the company's management until his retirement in 1998. His Timber Bay Farm had success both in steeplechasing and flat racing. His son, Billy, is a trainer based at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. Timber Bay won the New York Turf Writers at Saratoga three times, with Yaw in 1991 and 1992 and with Bisbalense in 1997. Romantic won the 2000 Colonial Cup in the Timber Bay silks. All his major steeplechase winners were trained by Jonathan Sheppard. On the flat, Artie Schiller won the 2005 Breeders' Cup Mile in the name of Timber Bay and Entenmann's daughter Denise Walsh of Southern Pines, N.C. Timber Bay also bred 2002 Belmont Stakes winner Sarava. In this year's renewal of this stakes test over the National Fences, #6 MOSCATO, a British-bred entry, has hiut the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in three straight, winning twice in this recent streak of racing consistency. Jockey Sean McDermott has been in his irons on 5 previous occasions, hitting the board in each, winning three times, and is back this afternoon here in Elmont for his 6th ride, gunning for a "Grand Slam Win!" #5 MUTASAANY qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," and has produced a quartet of "Power Run Board Hits in his last five outings, including back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" over the fences in his last two starts.Comment
