WEST POINT, N.Y. -- When fifth-ranked Stanford went to the locker room at halftime leading Army by only seven points, head coach David Shaw realized he neednt worry. "What I love about the team today is that, when people tell you youre supposed to win the game by a lot, you come in at halftime and its close, if you listened to the outside people youd get a little anxious," Shaw said. "In the locker room at halftime, we were not anxious. We knew we had to play our best, came out in the second half, and played great." Played to a near standstill the first two quarters by a 30-point underdog, the Cardinal regrouped in the second half and beat the Black Knights 34-20 on Saturday. Kevin Hogan threw for three touchdowns and Tyler Gaffney had two touchdowns and 132 yards rushing for the Cardinal (2-0). Still, Stanford had its hands full against Armys triple option offence, falling behind 6-0 at the outset as the much smaller Black Knights (1-2) challenged at every turn. "They came out there with a little bit different approach than what we had seen," said defensive end Josh Mauro, who led Stanford with seven tackles. "It just took guys having the will to do their jobs. We made some adjustments in the second half to stop the inside run. We got the look all week, but its so much different when youre actually doing it. All the credit to them. They played their butts off." Hogans 23-yard touchdown pass to Gaffney after an Army turnover gave Stanford a 27-13 lead late in the third quarter and the Cardinal averted an embarrassing moment. Army has not defeated a ranked team since a 17-14 win over No. 15 Air Force on Nov. 4, 1972. "We kept our calm. We tried to keep an even keel," Gaffney said after his second straight solid performance following a year of minor league baseball. "We went out there knowing that six points wasnt going to win the game. We went out there with the same mindset, keep grinding. We didnt overlook them. We had to keep grinding. We were down. Adversity stepped in and we responded." Ty Montgomery had six catches for 130 yards and one score, while Hogan was 11 of 18 for 188 yards passing for Stanford. Terry Baggett led Army with 96 yards rushing on nine carries. Done in by three turnovers and eight penalties in a 40-14 loss last week at Ball State, Army needed to play a flawless game against the Cardinal to have a fighting chance and acquitted itself well. The Black Knights forced the lone turnover of the first half as neither team was penalized before the break. The most critical play came in the third quarter. Trailing 20-13 and poised to tie the game, Army quarterback Angel Santiago botched a third-down handoff after the Black Knights had driven into Stanford territory, and James Vaughters recovered the fumble for the Cardinal. Montgomerys 27-yard catch on a third-and-7 play set up Gaffneys touchdown catch. "We didnt play the game we wanted to play," Baggett said. "Our goal coming into the game was to win. There were about three offensive plays offensively that changed this game. We have to make those plays every time. Its a step in the right direction, but its not the final step for us." Army failed on a fourth-and-1 play early in the fourth quarter inside its own 30 and the Cardinal secured the victory on Gaffneys 1-yard run. Stanfords rushing defence has posted the best numbers in school history the past two seasons, allowing 84.4 yards per game in 2011 and 97 per game last year. Armys triple option led the nation in rushing both years, averaging a school-record 369.8 yards per game and accumulating 4,438 yards on the ground in 2012. The Black Knights, despite the loss of four-year starter Trent Steelman at quarterback, entered Saturdays game on pace for another strong year, averaging 329 yards rushing in splitting their first two games. Not quite so effective without Raymond Maples and Larry Dixon, who were hurt in the game and sat much of it, the Black Knights still finished with 284 yards rushing on 61 carries, and inspired play by the Army defence kept the game close for most of the first three quarters. "They didnt do anything different. Weve seen everything they did on film," Mauro said. "Its just so different actually being out there, the speed they go. Those linemen are undersized, but theyre the quickest offensive line probably in the nation. Those guys are really good at what they do. Its hard to simulate that in four days and do it on Saturday, actually see the real thing." Marcus Peters Rams Jersey .

Conger was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 11th inning after rookie Jeurys Familia intentionally walked the previous two batters, and the Los Angeles Angels got home runs from Mike Trout and J.B. Shuck in a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night. "With bases loaded, your job is to try to somehow get on base so youll drive in the run. So I was just trying to get a pitch up because I knew a sac fly would do," said Conger, who entered on defence in the ninth after catcher Chris Iannetta was replaced by a pinch runner. "I just went up there trying to battle him." Raul Ibanez led off the 11th with a single against Familia (0-2), who was working his third inning of relief. Ibanez advanced on a wild pitch and went to third on a grounder to shortstop by David Freese before Mets manager Terry Collins ordered Familia to walk Howie Kendrick and Shuck to set up a force at any base. "Thats part of the game, you know? Sometimes you have to do that -- walk the guy and try to get a double play," Familia said. "So you just try to keep going, pound the zone and try to get groundballs." The strategy backfired when Familia plunked Conger in the ribs with a 2-2 delivery on his 51st pitch. Conger recoiled to absorb the blow. The run ended a string of 18 2-3 scoreless innings by Mets relievers after they allowed 13 earned runs in the teams first four games. Kyle Farnsworth helped keep the streak going when he retired Albert Pujols on a grounder with the bases loaded to end the eighth. Pujols came up again in the 10th with two on and hit a bouncer back to Familia for the third out, leaving the three-time NL MVP with five RBIs in his first 41 at-bats. Michael Kohn (1-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win. Travis dArnaud homered for the Mets and Josh Satin hit a two-run double. This is the Mets third visit to Anaheim since interleague play began in 1997. Their previous series at the "Big A" was in June 2008, when manager Willie Randolph was fired in the middle of the night and replaced by Jerry Manuel. New Yorks 4-2 lead evaporated in the sixth when Dillon p;Gee gave up a walk to Kendrick and a two-run homer by Shuck that landed in the lower seats in the right field corner.dddddddddddd It came in the first game of the season for Shuck, recalled from the minors Wednesday when right fielder Josh Hamilton went on the disabled list with a torn ligament in his left thumb. Hamilton, injured on a headfirst slide into first base Tuesday at Seattle, had surgery Friday morning and is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks. "It says a lot about J.B. and a lot about the team," Conger said. "Obviously, it had to be kind of a shock for him to get sent down toward the end of spring training. The team knows theres big shoes to fill, as far as Hamilton goes. So he comes up here and plays with a chip on his shoulder, and tonight he did an awesome job." Gee was charged with four runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings, the first time in 20 starts that he failed to get through the sixth. He walked the bases loaded in the fifth, but escaped when Satin fielded a grounder by Ibanez that hit first base and bounced high in the air. "Its really frustrating. Today was just not a good outing all the way around," Gee said. "I didnt feel really good and I struggled with command, walking as many guys as I did. So I just tried to battle through it and grind it out. This was one of those days where I had trouble finding the release point I wanted." The Mets, who travelled cross-country following Thursday nights 6-4 victory in Atlanta, didnt get to their hotel until 3 a.m. But they scored in three of the first four innings against lefty Tyler Skaggs. "You want to put up zeros, but fortunately the team picked me up," said Skaggs, who went seven innings. Curtis Granderson caught Shucks flyball in the right field corner for the first out of the eighth, then did an immediate 360 toward the stands after a fan reached out and touched him on the back. Security guards escorted the fan out moments later. NOTES: Collins piloted the Angels for two-plus seasons and resigned with 29 games left in the 1999 campaign. Mike Scioscia took over the following season. ... The Angels reinstated RHP Dane De La Rosa (strained forearm) from the disabled list and optioned LHP Nick Maronde to Triple-A Salt Lake.
