Football Highlights - Houston 19, Arizona 16
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Ex-Texas A&M quarterback Kyle Allen threw for 225 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice in his first game for Houston and the Cougars had to hold on to beat Arizona 19-16 in their week-delayed season opener on Saturday night. Houston (1-0) gave Major Applewhite a victory in his head coaching debut a week after the scheduled opener at UTSA was canceled due to Hurricane Harvey. John Leday's 81-yard kickoff return set up Houston's go-ahead touchdown with 45 seconds left in the first half. Josh Pollack kicked three field goals for Arizona (1-1), the last, from 42, yards cut the lead to 19-16 with 8:32 to play. Khalil Tate replaced Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins early in the fourth quarter and the Wildcats were at the Houston 32 when Garrett Davis' interception with 3:49 remaining preserved the win. Dawkins, who returned for the final three minutes, fumbled the ball away twice, one for a safety, in the second half. Allen, one of the nation's top recruits from suburban Phoenix in 2013, started 14 games and played in 20 for Texas A&M before transferring to Houston. He sat out last season as a redshirt. Allen, who completed 25 of 32 passes, threw 49 yards to Keith Corbin to set up his first TD pass as a Cougar, five yards to Linell Bonner to put Houston up 10-3 with five minutes left in the half. Arizona, helped by a pass interference penalty in the end zone, tied it 10-10 on Zach Green's 1-yard run 2:22 before halftime. Leday took the subsequent kickoff and the last man who had a chance to stop him, Kwesi Mashack, tackled him at the Wildcats 16. Dillon Birden's 3-yard touchdown run with 45 seconds gave Houston its 17-10 halftime lead. Visit TheAmerican.org for more information.

Mona Barthel vs Petra Kvitova Western & Southern Open Cincinnati 15 08 2012
MASON, Ohio -- No medal involved this time. Little drama, either. Novak Djokovic simply ground his way to another title shot. And Roger Federer will be waiting for him. Djokovic reached the finals of the Western & Southern Open for the second straight year Saturday, beating Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-2 in a reprise of their meeting in the Olympics. Del Potro defeated Djokovic for the bronze medal on Wimbledon's lush grass two weeks ago. The sequel on a hard court? Not even close. The final will match the world's top two players, the first time that's happened in Cincinnati. If Federer wins, it'll give him a record five titles in the tournament. "It's a nice bonus, really," Federer said. "When I was a kid I wasn't thinking of winning five Cincinnatis, but then again here I am in this great situation being able to do it, the first man ever. So I'm obviously excited. Very often when I do now reach a finals there is something on the line. Here we go - there is something there." Top-ranked Federer beat Swiss countryman Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the other semifinal. It'll be the seventh time that Federer and Djokovic have played for a tournament title, the last time in 2011 at Dubai. Federer beat Djokovic for the Cincinnati title in 2009. Federer leads the career series 15-12, but it's taken a few interesting turns lately. Djokovic beat him in the semifinals at the U.S. Open last year, then again in the semis at Rome and the French Open. Federer got the upper hand again in the semifinals at Wimbledon. "I hope I'm fresher than him tomorrow," Federer said. "We'll see how it goes." Djokovic also reached the Cincinnati final last year but had to quit in the second set because of a sore shoulder, giving the title to Andy Murray. This week is going much better for him. He won the Rogers Cup in Toronto last Sunday night, leaving him a little tired, but he managed to get some rest at the suburban Cincinnati tournament. He was on court for only a half-hour Thursday night, when Nikolay Davydenko had to quit their match because of a sore shoulder. The Serb had played only three sets the last two days, leaving plenty of energy for his second semifinal in eight days. He used it in the long rallies. Djokovic and del Potro exchanged a lot of shots from the baseline in the first set, with both players wasting chances to take control early. Djokovic got to the semifinal by holding serve in all 22 games during the tournament, facing only four break points. He faced that many in the third game of the match. The Serb saved one of those break points with a 30-shot rally that ended with del Potro dumping a backhand into the net, then dropping his head
