SAN DIEGO - Even though it was an exhibition opener, the Seattle Seahawks looked like a team worthy of big expectations. And the San Diego Chargers? Well, except for a nice opening drive, they looked like the same old Chargers. Tarvaris Jackson threw two touchdown passes and Brady Quinn, also battling to be Russell Wilsons backup, threw for another score as the Seahawks beat San Diego 31-10 Thursday night in Mike McCoys debut as Chargers coach. "I think you saw a little bit of what the Seahawks are," said Quinn, signed in the off-season after spending last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. "An explosive team, a team that likes to have fun and is extremely aggressive on offence and defence, and extremely confident. Hopefully we can build off that." Jackson won seven games for the Seahawks as their starting quarterback in 2011. He was traded to the Buffalo Bills during training camp last season when it became evident he would not win the starting job over Wilson and Matt Flynn. The Bills released Jackson earlier this summer and the Seahawks re-signed him. "Its been a long time, but it was fun out there," Jackson said. "Guys have more experience and guys arent making as many mistakes and are on the same page. It showed in practice and in the game." Coach Pete Carroll liked what he saw. "The guys who have been doing stuff in practice did it in the game. T-Jack and Brady both look good, look sharp in their minutes when they had stuff." Wilson, who led the Seahawks to the playoffs last year as a rookie, played the first three series. He passed for 23 yards and ran for 9. Wilson had some nice scrambles, including one on second-and-7 from the 17 when he gained just 1 yard, but evaded numerous Chargers, including Dwight Freeney. Quinn threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the first half. Jackson threw a 42-yard scoring pass to Stephen Williams on the first play of the fourth quarter and hit Derrick Coleman on a 6-yarder in the final minutes. Jackson also completed a 41-yarder to Williams to set up Spencer Wares 6-yard scoring run late in the third quarter. Philip Rivers played only the opening 13-play, 74-yard drive, which the Chargers capped with Nick Novaks 28-yard field goal. "It was one series and we got three points and you have to sustain that over four quarters, but it was certainly a good start," Rivers said. "You would like to keep going in the game, but certainly I am not as hard-headed now and I understand. You know you only get 10 or 12 plays and you want them to go so good." Rivers couldnt find anyone open on a third-and-6 and scrambled for 5 yards. "About halfway on that journey I realized it hit my head that it was preseason so I figured, I would have got that in the regular season," he said." Manti Teo had a quiet debut at inside linebacker for the Chargers, with no tackles during the first two series. "It was everything I expected and more," said Teo, a second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame. "It was fun. I had first-game jitters in the beginning. As the plays went on, you kind of settle in. You just start playing football. It was good for all of us to get out there." McCoy replaced Norv Turner, who was fired along with general manager A.J. Smith after the Chargers missed the playoffs for the third straight year. Tom Telesco, who replaced Smith, made sweeping changes to begin rebuilding the roster. "They played hard and that is what we want to establish here," McCoy said. "It was a typical first preseason game. You get the starters in there and you pretty much know what to expect from them. And then you get going through the rotation of the game and it was an opportunity for a lot of young players to step up. Weve got a long way to go." Chargers backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst was intercepted twice. One of the pickoffs set up Quinns 11-yard scoring pass to Kearse 2:11 before halftime. San Diego defensive backs Darrell Stuckey and Steve Williams collided, leaving Kearse wide open. Williams pointed at Stuckey, who put his hands on his helmet. Whitehurst played for the Chargers from 2006-09 without ever throwing a regular-season pass. He was traded to the Seahawks, where he played for two seasons before returning to San Diego as a free agent. San Diego third-string quarterback Brad Sorensen threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Ladarius Green in the fourth quarter.

Austin, even with a spot in the STATS FCS Top 25 potentially at stake, this is the definition of a trap game.Last week, the Lumberjacks went on the road and upset McNeese, one of two ranked teams in the Southland Conference. The other awaits them next week, facing No. 2 Sam Houston State and doing so on the grand stage of NRG Stadium -- home of the Houston Texans.In between is Saturday nights matchup with Abilene Christian, which heads into Homer Bryce Stadium at 0-3.Certainly their record is nowhere close to reflecting the quality of team that they are, Stephen F. Austin coach Clint Conque said.Thats not just coach speak. Abilene Christian has beaten the Lumberjacks each of the past two years.Additionally, Conque mentioned how the Wildcats had moments where they looked just fantastic in a 37-21 season-opening loss at Air Force, an FBS bowl team the last two seasons. Abilene has followed with a pair of three-point losses, blowing a fourth-quarter lead against Northern Colorado before falling in overtime at Houston Baptist last Saturday.I think at times weve got some big-time weapons, said Wildcats coach Ken Collums, previously Conques offensive coordinator at Central Arkansas. ... Weve got some guns, but sometimes were out of bullets or not firing it properly.One of those weapons is DeAndre Brown, but the teams top rusher from the past two seasons has been hobbled by an ankle injury. Hes carried the ball just six times for 15 yards and had to sit out last weeks loss, but Collums is hopeful the all-Southland honorable mention will be back this week.The timing of his potential return would add to the intrigue because Brown has been the difference in the last two meetings with SFA. In last years 35-32 victory, he ran 16 times for 132 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning 20-yarder with 5:59 to play. His career high of 256 rushing yards along with three TDs came in a 37-35 victory at Homer Bryce in 2014.At least the last two years weve matched up well against SFA, Collums said. Whether we do this year, I dont know.His team is familiar with matching up against the Conques, tthe coach and his son, quarterback Zach Conque.dddddddddddd Hes totaled more than 500 yards passing and 200 rushing over the past two meetings, accounting for seven touchdowns.The younger Conque is the reigning Southland offensive player of the week after throwing for 262 yards and two TDs while rushing for 63 yards and a score in the 31-28 stunner at McNeese, which was ranked 14th.Yet, in a strange twist, he wasnt the one who led the game-winning drive. That was former walk-on Hunter Taylor, who hadnt thrown a pass all day until being sent on the field with SFA trailing 28-24 with five minutes to go. He proceeded to drive the Lumberjacks for the go-ahead score, a 4-yard pass to freshman Tamrick Pace.The switch wasnt due to an injury or anything like that. Zach Conque later returned to the field and helped run out the clock.I was mad at him for missing a double-cut, wide-open receiver, woulda given us the lead in the series before, the elder Conque explained. Just a gut feeling. We had made the decision after that previous series, well I made the decision actually. ... I just felt like we needed a shot of adrenalin right there, and Hunter responded.There should be only one man under center for Abilene. Thats emerging sophomore Dallas Sealey, whose passing yardage total has gone up every week. Hes topped 300 each of the past two games while doing major damage on the ground with 163 yards and five TDs.Sealey wasnt the starter for last years matchup with SFA, a level of unfamiliarity which could be another potential road block on the Lumberjacks possible path into the rankings. Last weeks upset of McNeese in Lake Charles, Louisiana, garnered them the fourth-most votes (162) of any team not to make this weeks STATS FCS Top 25.I know this, you dont go to Lake Charles on a Saturday night and beat the Cowboys. I mean, very rarely do people do that, Collums said. And the Lumberjacks went down there and did it, and played a great game. It wasnt perfect, but man, theyre competitors. ' ' '
