A pair of Major League Soccer officials slowly walked the MLS Cup trophy onto the Sporting Park field about 10 minutes before kickoff Saturday and placed it on a podium for display. It’s here to stay. Sporting Kansas City outlasted Real Salt Lake in a league-record 10 rounds of penalty kicks to prevail with a 2-1 victory and win the second MLS Cup in franchise history.
Auburn steamrolled Missouri for 545 yards rushing en route to a 59-42 victory in the SEC championship game Saturday at the Georgia Dome. Auburn scored seven rushing touchdowns against a Missouri defense that had only allowed 11 during the regular season.
It’s been a wild affair at the Georgia Dome, where No. 3 Auburn leads No. 5 Missouri 28-27 at halftime. Neither defense can make stops, though Missouri’s has created two turnovers compared to one for Auburn’s. Here are a few halftime observations:
During the Chiefs’ first seven games, wide receiver Junior Hemingway averaged nearly 12 offensive snaps; during the last five games, he’s averaged 16 offensive snaps. That may not seem like a big difference, but after spending practically all of last season on the Chiefs’ practice squad, the 6-foot-1, 225-pounder couldn’t be more pleased to see his role increase for a winning team.
