PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- As much as Chris Ash wants to move forward quickly after a 2-10 season first season as Rutgers football coach, he knows that he has to spend time looking back, especially at the lowlights.Its not what anybody wants. Im not satisfied with that, Ash said Wednesday. Well evaluate the overall big picture of the offense; special teams have not been very good. Well assess all aspects of the process and identify ways to do better.The Scarlet Knights allowed an average of nearly 38 points a game. They were outgained in total yardage by an average of 168 yards. There were 21 fumbles -- 12 lost -- and the revolving door at the quarterback position was squeezed with 34 sacks, totaling nearly the length of a football field. They finished on a nine-game losing streak, failing to win a contest in the Big Ten Conference.Six starters will return on offense and eight on defense, and despite all the negative publicity from what took place on the field, including four shutouts by a combined 224 points, Ash remains optimistic.I think we have a very positive building, a very positive program, so I dont listen to the negativity thats out there, he said. Im focused on making our players better every single day.Ash said his nine assistants are scheduled to return because he wants continuity and likes the group.Hes returning, too.Every year I learn something and improve, he said about coaching. Before this year, Ash had been an assistant.Ash said hes been intentional in his growth as a head coach.Its been more about time management and how to handle all the responsibilities of a head coach and how to deal with it, he said. Im a guy involved in Xs and Os to a certain extent and want to continue to be so.Ash said his recruiting pitches are being received well.We have a plan, a vision, and good people on board, the former Ohio State co-defensive coordinator said. Its going to take time and effort, but I think (recruits) have really been believing in our plan and have built great relationships with our coaching staff.He said those relationships can help carry the team through down times.While the staff continues with recruiting, Rutgers this week lost a pair of returning quarterbacks. Hayden Rettig and former starter Chris Laviano are transferring. But the program moves forward.I do believe weve built a team that will compete, Ash said. We didnt do that on the scoreboard every week; we got shut out four times and Im not happy with that at all. But is the first year a disappointment or a loss? No its not.Weve done a lot of positive things in this program, he said. But on Saturdays, and I get it, as we move forward Im gonna be judged by wins and losses.---More AP college football http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Russell Bodine Jersey .

DENVER -- Connor McDavid tried to sneak one in off Semyon Varlamov in the second period, but the Colorado goalie was too quick.The budding Edmonton star got the better of Varlamov early in the third and sent the Oilers to another win.McDavid extended his scoring spree with a goal and two assists in the final period, Milan Lucic had four points and the Oilers beat the Avalanche 6-3 on Wednesday night.The NHLs leading scorer, McDavid has four goals and four assists in Edmontons three-game winning streak.The teams playing well, thats all that matters, said the 19-year-old McDavid, who has 27 points. When the team plays well everyone can generate off that and I think a lot of guys have done a great job of contributing. Its been a team effort over these last three games.The Oilers, who had not won this season when trailing after two periods, were behind 3-2 entering the third but scored three times in the first 7:25. Lucic tied it 32 seconds in when he knocked in McDavids shot on Varlamov.McDavid gave Edmonton a 4-3 lead when his shot from the backboards went off Varlamov and in at 6:35. The second-year center then assisted on Leon Draisaitls goal 55 seconds later.I tried to do that in the second period but it took a little too long for it to develop and he did a good job of getting back, McDavid said, referring to his goal. This time it was kind of a bang-bang play, just tried to put it there and hopefully go off something.Draisaitl also had an assist, Jordan Eberle netted two goals and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for Edmonton. Lucic finished with a season-high three assists, and Cam Talbot made 25 saves.We talked about taking the puck to the net moore and when we started doing that good things started to happen, Lucic said.dddddddddddd Its a big step for us to take to be able to come back from behind and get a big win on this road trip.The Avalanche took eight penalties and gave up two power-play goals.Were taking too many, coach Jared Bednar said. The worst penalty kills are the teams that take the most penalties, and thats where were at. Youre trying to ask a team to kill five, six, seven penalties a game. Its not going to happen. No team does that.After Nathan MacKinnon and Nugent-Hopkins traded goals 2:55 apart in the first period, the Avalanche took a 2-1 lead when Rene Bourque scored the first of his two goals on a delayed penalty at 17:19.Eberles power-play goal at 19:49 tied it 2-all. It was his sixth of the season.Bourques second goal of the night came 2 seconds after Andrej Sekeras boarding minor expired and gave Colorado a 3-2 lead.Varlamov made 35 saves for Colorado.Game notes Eberle has 24 points in 27 career games against Colorado. ... Avalanche LW Gabriel Landeskog turned 24 and missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. He skated in the morning and is scheduled to do so again Thursday. The Avalanche hope to have him back Saturday against Vancouver. ... Colorado forward Jarome Iginla took two minor penalties and surpassed 1,000 penalty minutes for his career. He is the ninth player in NHL history to have 600 goals and 1,000 penalty minutes.UP NEXTOilers: Play at Arizona on Friday night.Avalanche: Host Vancouver on Saturday night.
