JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Alex Smith threw two early touchdown passes, Kansas City’s defense dominated all day and the Chiefs began the Andy Reid era with a 28-2 victory at Jacksonville.
Jamaal Charles ran for 77 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with a quadriceps injury, but that was about the only negative for the Chiefs.
Jacksonville advanced past its own 36-yard line just once, a stunning display of offensive futility for the rebuilding franchise. The Jaguars finished with 178 yards, but for most of the game were challenging the team low of 117 yards set last year against Houston.
It was just the Chiefs second season-opening win in the last eight years and their first on the road since 2002 at Cleveland.

Kaycee Beilman had rounds of 87 and 86 for a 173 total. Natalie Bethel had a total of 176 after rounds of 87 and 89. Megan DeWerff rounded out the scorers for FHSU with rounds of 90 and 86 to tie Bethel individually. Qyukkeb Eichhorn shot rounds of 94 and 95 in her first tournament as a Tiger.
Minnesota State won the team competition with a total of 602, shooting 301 each day. Three Minnesota State players tied for first individually.

Fort Hays State women’s soccer team picked up its first win of the 2013 season on Sunday afternoon at the FHSU Soccer Stadium by a count of 3-0 over the University of Sioux Falls. Fort Hays State built a 2-0 lead by halftime and tacked on one more goal for insurance in the second half to move to 1-1 overall on the season.
Sabrina Van Horn picked up the first goal of the season for FHSU by flicking the ball over the USF keeper’s head in the 21st minute of the game. Jamie Babyak got the ball to Van Horn over the top of the defense on a free kick from near midfield.
Jordan Hester, Fort Hays State’s top goal scorer in 2012, picked up her first of the season in the 40th minute when she beat a defender off a touch pass from Hannah Jurgens.
Abby Cinotto , like Van Horn, picked up her first collegiate goal in the second half on a nice crossing pass in the box from Amanda Talbott. Cinotto just had to tap the ball into the net once Talbott’s pass got by the USF goalkeeper.
Kelsey Grey picked up the win in goal for FHSU with one save. She moved to 1-0 on the season. Corrin Cook took the loss for USF, dropping to 0-2 on the season. Cook had six saves in goal as nine of the 12 shots by FHSU were put on goal. Fort Hays State outshot Sioux Falls 12-4 in the match.
The Tigers head on the road for five consecutive matches, starting Tuesday at Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva, Okla.

The early season woes continued for Fort Hays State University on Saturday, as the Tigers dropped their final two matches of the Hawaii Invitational.
FHSU (0-4) fell to Lewis (1-2) in four sets, 3-1 (25-16, 25-22, 24-26, 25-19), and dropped a 3-0 (25-19, 25-13, 25-19) contest against Hawaii Pacific (4-0).
FHSU spread out its offensive attack for the Lewis match, as five different players had at least six kills, led by Madison Scwartz’s nine. Jenna Ulrich and Taylor Mares were close behind with eight kills.
Kelsey Broadwell’s 20 assists were an early-season game high, and Makenzie Weinman had 13 digs (Schwartz and Sara Hewson each had eight).
FHSU would never lead in game one, tying it twice before the score sat at 8-8, but fell behind for good after that as Lewis went on runs of five, three and six unanswered points to close out the game, 25-16.
Weinman provided a spark on the defensive end during the first set, digging out five balls.
In game two, the Tigers would lead 1-0, but fall behind until late in the match, when a kill by Hewson (from Schwartz) knotted the score at 17-all. Schwartz would then re-tie the game at 21-21 with an ace, though FHSU couldn’t pull off the rally – as the Flyers’ outscored the Tigers, 4-1, to close out a 25-22 set victory.
Hewson had five kills in the second frame, while Schwartz and Rebekah Spainhour each had a solo block.
Down two games to zero, FHSU would fall behind in the third set 3-0, but storm back out to an 11-3 lead, holding strong until a Flyer rally at 20-14 closed the deficit to two (21-19). Lewis tied the match at 24-24, but a Spainhour kill and a Lewis error would give FHSU the set.
FHSU hit just .107 as a team in the third set, though the team limited Lewis to a .058 hitting percentage.
During the fourth frame, the Tigers hung tough until the score was 13-13, when Lewis would start pulling away gradually, using a 4-0 run to pull ahead for good, as the match ended on a kill at 25-19.
In the second game of the day, FHSU hit .264 as a team in the first frame, as Ulrich (four kills) and Spainhour (one kill) each hit .500. Defensively, Hewson had four kills and Ary notched seven assists.
FHSU fell behind early in the match, but would continually tie it up until taking a 12-10 lead on Schwartz’s kill. HPU would catch FHSU at 14, though, and close out the set on a 10-5 run to take the set, 25-19.
HPU took control in the second set with the score 10-5, going on a 9-1 run (including a span of six unanswered points) to take a 19-6 lead. The Sea Warriors would win the second game, 25-13.
The final game of the night saw FHSU lead (or hold a tie) 12-11 before a seven-point run would propel HPU to 18-12 lead. The Tigers would answer the run with a quick three-point rally of their own – eventually closing the deficit to four (22-18) – but couldn’t extend the match, losing 25-19.
In the HPU match, Ulrich led the team with 11 kills, followed by Schwartz’s eight. The setter, Ary, had 19 assists while five different Tigers had five digs (Schwartz, Hewson, Hoekman, Hubert and Weinman) in the contest.
FHSU has the day off tomorrow before traveling to Hilo, Hawaii on Monday for a matchup with Hawaii-Hilo. The game is slated for 7 p.m. HT / Midnight CT.

Tramaine Thompson returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, Ty Zimmerman brought back an interception 32 yards for another score and Kansas State bounced back from a season-opening loss to beat Louisiana-Lafayette 48-27 on Saturday night.
Thompson also returned a punt 61 yards to the Ragin’ Cajuns’ 1-yard line in the third quarter to set up a touchdown run by Jake Waters. Zimmerman’s interception return moments later gave Kansas State touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams in a span of minutes.
Waters threw for 278 yards while splitting time with backup Daniel Sams, who ran for 63 yards and a touchdown. Tyler Lockett had eight catches for 111 yards, and John Hubert ran for two touchdowns as the Wildcats avoided their first 0-2 start since 1989.
Terrance Broadway ran for a touchdown and threw for a touchdown for the Ragin’ Cajuns (0-2), and Darryl Surgent returned a kickoff a school-record 100 yards for another score.
Both teams began the season with lofty aspirations, and both trying to rebound from season-opening disappointments — the defending Big 12 champion Wildcats lost at home to North Dakota State last Friday night, and Louisiana-Lafayette fell 34-14 at Arkansas last Saturday.
Both got off to slow starts this week, too.
Kansas State finally got in gear after the teams traded field goals, and Hubert capped a 71-yard drive with a 7-yard scamper. The Ragin’ Cajuns failed to pull off a fake punt on their ensuing possession, and Sams finished another TD drive with a hip-swiveling 13-yard run to make it 17-3.
Jack Cantele’s second field goal of the half gave Kansas State a 20-3 lead at the break.
The real fireworks came early in the third quarter.
Thompson fielded the opening kickoff of the second half, made a couple of nimble moves up the Louisiana-Lafayette sideline and raced the rest of the way to the end zone. The return gave Kansas State at least one kickoff return touchdown in a nation-leading nine straight seasons.
Thompson’s big punt return and Waters’ TD plunge gave Kansas State a 34-3 lead.
The Ragin’ Cajuns answered with Surgent’s kickoff return and an interception by Dominick Jones later in the third quarter set up Broadway’s touchdown run and got them within 34-17.
Louisiana-Lafayette got the ball back quickly, but momentum swung back to Kansas State when Zimmerman caught a tipped pass over the middle and returned the pick for a touchdown. It was the senior’s 11th career interception, moving him into sixth place in the school record books.
Broadway tried to rally the Ragin’ Cajuns once more, hitting Robinson from 18 yards out for a touchdown late in the third quarter. After getting the ball back, their next drive stalled and they had to settle for Stephen Brauchle’s 26-yard field goal to get within 41-27 with 10:55 left.
Kansas State put the game away when Sams, taking over for Waters, hit tight end Zach Trujillo for a 27-yard gain. The speedy Sams then ripped off three long runs to set up Hubert, the 5-foot-7 wrecking ball, who powered into the end zone for his second touchdown.
LAWRENCE, Kan. – James Sims scored twice and Jake Heaps passed for 110 yards and one TD in his much-anticipated debut, leading Kansas past South Dakota 31-14 Saturday night and matching the Jayhawks’ entire victory total of 2012.
His yardage may not look impressive. But Heaps displayed a strong arm and a quick release in his first action since transferring from BYU, where he smashed most freshman passing records, and sitting out last season while the Jayhawks sank to 1-11 in Charlie Weis’ first year as coach.
He was 10 for 20 and several of his misses probably could have been caught. The Jayhawks (1-0) rushed for 280 yards against the lower-division Coyotes (1-1) with Sims going 94 yards on 16 carries.
On one especially memorable play for long-suffering Jayhawk fans, Heaps hit Justin McKay with a five-yard touchdown pass — the first scoring catch by a Kansas wide receiver since Oct. 22, 2011.
Josh Vander Maten was 8 for 18 for 67 yards and one touchdown for South Dakota. He also had 78 of the South Dakota’s 219 yards rushing.
Sims, who lead Big 12 runners in rushing in conference games last year, scored on a one-yard run in the second quarter and a six-yard burst around left end in the third. Darrian Miller had 72 yards on 14 carries, including two 17-yard scampers in the 71-yard touchdown drive that put Kansas ahead 21-7 in the third quarter.
At kickoff, it was a sweltering 97 degrees in this rain-starved corner of the Midwest. The Coyotes, looking to snap a 15-game road losing streak, took a 7-0 lead on Vander Maten’s 2-yard TD pass to Drew Potter, who sneaked out of the backfield unnoticed and was all by himself in the end zone. Jordan Roberts picked up 14
yards on a counter play and then Vander Maten ran 13 yards to the 2.
Heaps, seeing his first action since Nov. 19, 2011, made his first long connection when he rifled a 25-yard pass to Tony Pierson in the second quarter. A moment later, Josh Fordappeared to make the first TD catch by a Kansas wide receiver since 2011 when he took a short pass and broke several tackles while leading across the goal line. But replays nullified the score and put the ball on the 1, setting up Sims for the score.
Keon Stowers, intercepted Vander Maten’s pass late in the second quarter and, picking up blocks, the 298-pounder rumbled 42 yards into the end zone with the first interception by a Jayhawk defensive lineman in 45 games. But a penalty for blocking in the back brought the ball back and moments later, Sims’ fumble was recovered by South Dakota’s Aaron Swift on the 2.
But the Coyotes failed to pick up a first down and a line drive punt out of their end zone was returned 29 to the 9 by Connor Embree. One play later, Heaps drilled a 5-yard bullet to McKay in the end zone for the Jayhawks’ first scoring pass to a wide receiver in 17 games.
The Jayhawks’ third TD came on a 12-play, 71-yard drive that was entirely on the ground. Sims went around left end for a 21-7 Kansas lead with 7:34 left in the third.
Vander Maten kept a drive alive with a 37-yard third-down pass to Tyson Graham Jr., and then capped the drive with a 9-yard run. Kansas’ Brandon Bourbon scored on an 8-yard run with about 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The Fort Hays State men’s cross country team grabbed a fourth place finish out of six teams on Saturday (Sept. 7) at the Lobo Invitational hosted by the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The University of Texas El-Paso (UTEP) won the team title.
Junior Cory Keehn led the way for the Tigers with a 10th place finish and a time of 15:57 on the 3.22 mile course. Seven spots behind Keehn in 17th place was Jonny Bernasky in 16:15. James Kadolph finished in 22nd and covered the course in 16:24.
Isaac Mills and Ryan Hopkins rounded out the scoring for the Tigers. Mills crossed the line with a 16:28 in 24th place and Hopkins ran a 16:42 for 32nd.
UTEP scored 40 points in the victory. New Mexico was the runner up with 49 points and El Paso Community College was third with 70 points. The Tigers were 17 points back for the fourth spot with 87 points.
Colby Community College Invitational (Sept. 6)
The Tigers also took a group to Colby Community College Invitational on Friday (Sept. 6) to compete. FHSU had two top 10 finishers at the meet.
Logan Garrett finished in ninth place on the 5K course in a time of 16:23. One spot behind Garrett was Jacob Thomas who finished in 16:30.
The Tigers hit the course again on September 12 at the Broncbuster Invitational and September 14 at the Hutchinson Community College Invite.
The Fort Hays State women’s cross country team nearly topped all three NCAA Division I programs at the Lobo Invitational, hosted by the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The Tigers finished second out of five teams at the event, topping the University of New Mexico and the University of Texas-El Paso.
Kylie Gaughan led the Tigers with an eighth-place finish, just fractions of a second ahead of teammate Ramsey McCarter who finished ninth. Both finished in 20:19 on the results. Marie Schaller was just two seconds back in 20:21, finishing 10th. Hannah Robinson covered the 3.22 mile course in 20:33 to finish 13th and Micki Krzesinski rounded out the Tiger scorers in 20:45, finishing 16th.
New Mexico State easily won the team competition with just 23 points with the top three placers in the race. Fort Hays State scored 54 and New Mexico scored 61.
Colby Community College Invitational (Sept. 6)
Fort Hays State had several runners compete at the Colby Community College Invitational on Friday (Sept. 6). Stacy Pachta, who finished second in 17:09, and Sydney Lower, who finished third in 17:13, were the top two performers for FHSU in the 4K race. Jenna Snell and Sam Szczublewski also finished in the top 10.

The 23rd-ranked FHSU men’s soccer team rolled to a 3-0 win at Eastern New Mexico in Portales, N.M. on Saturday. After dropping the first match of the season on Thursday night at Texas-Permian Basin, the Tigers evened their overall record at 1-1 for the young season.
Fort Hays State did all of its scoring in the second half. Daniel Peralta notched the first goal of the season for FHSU in the 48th minute on a penalty kick.
