NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley has taken some of the air out of the Air Raid, and the results have been spectacular.Riley was hired away from East Carolina last year to take Oklahoma back to its pass-happy days when coach Bob Stoops first arrived with offensive coordinator Mike Leach in 1999. Things appeared to be on track last season until he ran into a road block against Texas.Once Riley put a little more ground and pound into Oklahomas high-octane attack, everything clicked. The Sooners reached the College Football Playoff, Riley won the Broyles Award as the nations best assistant coach at age 32 and he got a big raise.Hes a very bright guy, and he gets it, Stoops said.This year, the Sooners struggled in September, losing games against Houston and Ohio State. Once again, Riley recovered with the run game. The Sooners are averaging 226.7 yards rushing per game in Big 12 play, and the Sooners lead the league in scoring offense (45 points per game) and total offense (572 yards). The 16th-ranked Sooners enter Saturdays game at Texas Tech seeking their 11th straight conference win.Lincoln has shown in the last two years here the willingness and effectiveness of the running game, or willingness to run it. Stoops said. Its a big part of what we do, and I think it sets up a lot in the passing game.Riley has occasional bouts of stubbornness, especially against elite teams. In losses to Clemson, Houston and Ohio State the past two years, the Sooners averaged just 32 attempts and 105 yards rushing. He acknowledged after the Houston game that there were opportunities to run the ball, and that he got a bit impatient at times. The Sooners ran 12 times for minus-13 yards in the second half.Riley said he doesnt mind pounding the ball to get back on the winning track.If were scoring and were getting our guys in position to do what they can do, and were making plays and winning games, thats all I care about, he said. Whatever that gets labeled at the end of the day, thats out of my control.Rileys best coaching work might have been with Baker Mayfield. Last year, he took the walk-on transfer from Texas Tech who had to beat incumbent Trevor Knight for the starting job and coached him to a fourth-place finish in the Heisman race. This season, Mayfield actually has a higher passer efficiency rating. In his past three games, Mayfield has a passer rating of 194.1, tops in the Big 12. His overall passer rating is third nationally.Mayfield gives Riley a lot of the credit.We made the most of our opportunities, and hes done a great job, Mayfield said. Theres a reason he has so much success and hes had the great opportunity of coaching here.Oklahomas running back Samaje Perine will sit out Saturdays game with a pulled muscle in his left leg, but another star is waiting in the wings. Joe Mixon ranks sixth nationally in all-purpose yards and is among the Big 12s top rushers.Oklahoma also has successfully filled in for Sterling Shepards absence. In the past three weeks, receiver Dede Westbrook has caught 26 passes for 574 yards and eight touchdowns.The run game going like its going has helped to give him a lot of one-on-one coverage, and hes just consistently winning, Riley said. Hes winning all over the place. When you get all of those one-on-ones and youve got a guy like that, youve got to keep feeding him.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions.

ESSA has published its integrity report for the final quarter of 2015, which showed of 100 suspicious sporting events during the year, 73 were tennis matches.The sports anti-corruption practices have been under the microscope following allegations by the BBC and BuzzFeed last month concerning match-fixing at the top level of the game. Tennis world governing bodies subsequently came together to announce an independent review of integrity in the sport, which will be overseen by Adam Lewis QC and is expected to take at least 12 months.More than a third of the suspicious matches took place in the final quarter of 2015 and, according to the ESSA report, 24 tennis matches were flagged up by betting companies compared to eight football matches, one snooker match, one ice hockey match and one greyhound race.Suspicious activity in tennis in 2015 took place across five continents, including one match in the UK. The highest number of ESSA alerts came from Turkey with eight, followed by seven each in Tunisia and Argentina.An ESSA alert is issued when suspicious transactions are flagged up by the organisations members.Where evidence emerges of potentially fraudulent actiivity taking place, the relevant sports governing body is informed.ddddddddddddESSA chairman Mike OKane said: The start of 2016 has seen a worldwide focus on alleged match-fixing in tennis. The data contained in ESSAs Q1-3 reports has been used to highlight those concerns.The data in our Q4 integrity report reflects previous quarters and, whilst tennis constituted the largest proportion of suspicious betting alerts identified by ESSA members, it should be noted that the vast majority of tennis events are fair. ESSA has been working closely with the tennis authorities on this issue and remains committed to working with all of our partners in sport.The Tennis Integrity Unit was set up in 2008 to enforce the sports anti-corruption code of conduct and investigate possible breaches.So far 19 players and officials have been sanctioned, with the most recent coming this week when unranked Thai player Jatuporn Nalamphun was banned for 18 months after admitting to three offences of betting on tennis matches.Nearly all those punished have plied their trade predominantly at the lowest level of the game.
