Richmond, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Indiana State played in its first FCS playoff game since 1984 on Saturday. Maybe the Sycamores just needed some extra time to warm up. After surrendering the first 16 points to Eastern Kentucky, Indiana State scored the final 36 points for a 36-16 first-round victory over the Colonels. The Sycamores (8-5), one of a record-tying five playoffs teams from the Missouri Valley Football Conference, will visit eighth-seeded Chattanooga (9-3), the Southern Conference champion, for a second-round game next Saturday. Senior quarterback Mike Perish led Indiana States comeback win, completing 41- of-57 pass attempts for 407 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. Indiana State was nearly shut out in the first half, but Perish connected with Robert Tonyan for a 4-yard touchdown pass with two seconds left, pulling the Sycamores within 16-7 at halftime. They then ran off 24 points in the third quarter. Eric Heidorn kicked a 47-yard field goal, Perish fired touchdown passes to Kyani Harris (57 yards) and Gary Owens (38), and safety Mark Sewall returned an interception of EKUs Bennie Conney for a 48-yard touchdown. DyShawn Mobley scored on an 18-yard run and finished with 96 yards on 22 carries, and Andrew Lloyd kicked three field goals as the Colonels (9-4) from the Ohio Valley Conference built their 16-0 lead in the first half. The playoff win was Indiana States second in three seasons of playoff appearances. EKU fell to 16-19 all-time in 21 playoff appearances. Jackie Robinson Womens Jersey .

Yaya Toures seeming discontent Tuesday may complicate that, as does the little issue of Financial Fair Play. Kenley Jansen Dodgers Jersey . -- Barry Bonds is all set to return to the San Francisco Giants.Prior to signing with the Vancouver Whitecaps, Andy OBrien was nearly done with professional soccer.Now the 35-year-old central defender doesnt want the journey to end — and with good reason.Three straight victories, including a massive 1-0 road win over the Seattle Sounders last week, has the Whitecaps in control their own destiny as they push for a playoff spot.Four points in their final two regular-season games — beginning with Saturdays road matchup against the lowly San Jose Earthquakes — would guarantee Vancouver a post-season berth for the second time in three years, while anything less over the final two weeks puts other results in play.Its a startling turnaround for a team that was left for dead just a few weeks ago, and one that OBrien partly credits to a candid players meeting last month.I think the pennys dropped. I think we understand the importance of the time of the year, he said before departing for San Jose. It was mentioned that not everybodys going to be here next year and weve got a real opportunity to make a statement to do something together. I think were determined to continue what weve got for as long as possible.With more than 300 games in the English Premier League under his belt, OBrien joined the Whitecaps midway through the 2012 campaign. In 2014, he has been instrumental in calming a defence that lost captain Jay DeMerit to retirement in July and has had to offset a lack of goals at the other end of the pitch.But even OBrien — who sat out seven straight games from June 28 to July 30 because of injury and coaching decisions — didnt expect to enjoy his tenure in Major League Soccer this much.I think in 2011 — these were only private thoughts — I was close to packing it in. When I say pack it in, stop playing football, said OBrien, who was born in England but played 26 times for Ireland at the international level. It taught me that even though you can go through a rough period, if you can keep digging away theres light at the end of the tunnel.Ive certainly enjoyed my time here. I think physically Im as fit as Ive ever been. Mentally, Im really enjoying coming into work every day.The players have talked a lot about the spirit in the squad, and OBrien said the additions of Pedro Morales, Matias Laba and Sebastian Fernandez — among others — have been instrumental in creating a unique camaraderie.The South American boys that weve brought in are the life and soul of the dressing room — they keep chanting my name for some reason, OBrien said with a laugh. I dont know why that is, but Ive found it a real nice experience and one that Ill learn from.I think it is a special dressing room. Its certainly one that Ive enjoyed being a part of this year, and long may it continue.The next critical step in that process comes Saturday when Vancouver (11-8-13) will try to avoid a letdown against San Jose (6-15-11), a team playing for pride and jobs next year after firing its head coach this week. The Western Conference bottom feeders are also looking to end a 13-game winless streak and are suiting up for their final outing at Buck Shaw Stadium before moving into new ddigs next season.ddddddddddddNeedless to say, the hosts should have plenty of motivation.Its a tricky game for us because obviously theyve just lost their manager, theyre out of the playoffs and theyve got nothing to lose, said Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson. We have got a lot to lose because were in a good run of form at the moment and were trying to challenge for the playoffs. Its a very difficult game for us, but the guys will be ready.Vancouver has already beaten San Jose twice at home in 2014, but road games are a different beast in MLS, regardless of the perceived level of competition.Going to San Jose, a little bit of a wounded animal, is not going to be easy, said Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted. Weve played some good games, but now is the time to continue the good form and go in and still show that even though were happy with the last three games were not done working.Vancouver and Portland are tied on points for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference after the Timbers had to settle for a disappointing scoreless draw at home against Real Salt Lake on Friday night. The result is a massive boost for the Whitecaps, who have two games left on the schedule to Portlands one.Its about catching your form at the right time and I think weve done that in the last three games, Robinson said prior to Fridays action. Weve still got two games to go. Theres always one team that gets in the playoffs late that no one probably expects, and no one probably expected us a few games ago if Im being honest.Vancouver will be without defender Kendall Waston because of yellow card accumulation, but midfielder/striker Sebastian Fernandez is available after a one-game ban.OBrien — who has formed a good partnership with Waston — doesnt have a contract for next season, but said he plans to continue his playing career in 2015 if the Whitecaps or another team want him.For now though, all hes worried about is Saturdays game in San Jose.Weve got to concentrate on our job in hand, which is try to get the right result, said OBrien. Destiny is in our own hands. Weve talked enough about it. Were coming down to the nitty gritty stage now.Notes: Johnny Leveron looks set to replace Waston alongside OBrien in defence. Leveron started 12 straight games for Vancouver in July and August before picking up an injury while on international duty with Honduras. ... Fernandez scored twice in Vancouvers 2-0 win over FC Dallas on Oct. 4. ... Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear will lead San Jose next season after the Earthquakes fired Mark Watson and assistant Nick Dasovic on Wednesday. San Jose assistant Ian Russell survived the cull and will serve as interim head coach for the final two games of the season prior to Kinnear taking over. ... Watson and Dasovic are both former members of the Canadian national team. ... San Jose has not won since Aug. 2, a 1-0 home victory over Seattle. ... Vancouvers final game of the regular season is at B.C. Place Stadium on Oct. 25 against the Colorado Rapids, while Portland visits Dallas the same day.———Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter ' ' '
