Carson Strong threw five touchdown passes and Nevada compiled eight sacks and three interceptions in a 38-27 win over Tulane on Tuesday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl at Boise, [https://vov.vn/du-lich/chinh-phuc-ta-chi-nhu-thien-duong-may-va-hoa-tim-823379.vov Tà Chì Nhù] Idaho. Strong, the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, completed 22 of 28 passes for 271 yards with no interceptions. The Wolf Pack were led on the ground by Devonte Lee, who gained 105 yards on 18 carries. Toa Taua produced 102 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Taua also caught six passes for 77 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown. Nevada (7-2) finished with 209 rushing yards. The Wolf Pack achieved their seventh bowl win in program history, including three in their past four attempts. Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt, who entered the game with only five interceptions on the year, was picked off three times, leading to two Nevada touchdowns. Pratt completed 12 of 25 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Tulane (6-6) was unsuccessful in its attempt to achieve three bowl victories in the past three seasons. Trevor Price, Lawson Hall and Tristan Nichols each had two sacks for Nevada. Nevada led 26-7 at halftime with a time-of-possession edge of 20:16 to 9:44 after tallying 334 yards in total offense with 14 first downs. Tulane had the first possession of the second half and drove 75 yards for a touchdown to pull within 13 points. The 12-play drive, which culminated on a 6-yard touchdown by Pratt, took 4:57. At the end of Nevada's ensuing possession, Tulane's Jha'Quan Jackson returned a punt 27 yards to the Wolf Pack's 45. Four plays later, Pratt connected with [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Jackson Jackson] for 28 yards with 6:30 left in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 26-20.

Strong then completed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Cole Turner, and the Wolf Pack led 32-20 with 13:22 left in the fourth quarter after the two-point conversion pass failed. The lead grew to 38-20 on Strong's 21-yard pass to Jamaal Bell with 4:19 left. Nevada's halftime lead was built behind three touchdown passes by Strong and 76 rushing yards by Taua, who scored on a run and also a pass from Strong. --Field Level Media

Climbing -The Art Of Mountain Walking Part 2

Mountain walking is divided into four techniques dependent on the general formation of the terrain. Walking on hard ground,grassy slopes, scree slopes, and tallus slopes. Hard ground. This is firmly packed dirt that does not give way under the weight of a climber's step. When ascending, your knees must be locked on every step to rest the muscles of the legs. Steep slopes can be traversed rather than climbing straight up. Turning at the end of each traverse should be done by stepping off in the new direction with the uphill foot. This prevents crossing the feet and possible loss of balance. In traversing, the full sole principle is used by rolling the ankle away from the hill on each step. For small stretches, the herringbone step may be used, ascending straight up a slope with the toes pointed out. A normal progression as the slope steepens would be from walking straight up the slope, to a herringbone step, and then to a traverse on the steeper areas. When descending you should move straight down the slope without traversing. Your back must be straight and knees bent so they take up the shock of each step. Walking with a slight forward lean and with feet in a normal position makes the descent easier. Grassy slopes. They are usually composed of small tussocks of growth rather than one continuous field. In ascending, the upper side of each hummock, or tussock, [https://vov.vn/du-lich/chinh-phuc-ta-chi-nhu-thien-duong-may-va-hoa-tim-823379.vov Chinh phục Tà Chì Nhù] is stepped on where the ground is more level than on the loer side. When descending a grassy slope, a climber should traverse because of the uneven nature of the ground. You can easily build up too much speed and fall if a direct descent is tried. The hop-skip step can be useful on this type of slope. In this technique the lower leg takes all of the weight, and the upper leg is used for balance. When traversing, the climber's uphill foot points in the direction of travel. The downhill foot points about 45 degrees off the direction of travel. This maintains maximum sole contact and prevents possible downhill ankle roll-out. Scree slopes. These consist of small rocks and gravel that have collected below rock ridges and cliffs. Scree varies in size from grains of sand to the size of a fist. Sometimes it occurs in mixtures of all sizes, but normally scree slopes consist of the same size particles. If possible you should avoid ascending scree slopes since they are difficult and tiring. All principles of ascending hard ground apply, but each step is chosen carefully so that the foot does not slide down when weight is placed on it. This is done by kicking in with the toe of the upper foot so that a step is formed in the scree. After determining that the step is stable, weight is transferred from the lower to the upper foot. This process is repeated. The best method for descending scree slopes is to come [https://www.sportsblog.com/search?search=straight straight] down the slope using a short shuffling step with the knees bent, back straight, feet pointed downhill, and heels dug in. When several climbers descend a scree slope together, they should be as close together as possible, one behind the other, about an arms length apart. To prevent injury from dislodged rock. Scree slopes can be traversed using the ice axe as a third point of contact. Always keep the axe on the uphill side. When the herring bone step is used to ascend scree, the axe can be used by placing both hands on top of it. The bottom, or point, of the axe is sunk into the scree, and the axe is used for balance. The climber uses the herringbone step up to the axe. The tendency to run down a scree slope is to be avoided so control is not lost. When the bottom of the route cannot be seen, caution should be used since dropoffs may be encountered. Talus slopes. Talus is a slope formed by an accumulation of [http://www.examandinterviewtips.com/search?q=rock%20debris rock debris] much larger than a man's fist. When walking in talus, wether ascending or descending, always step on the top of and [https://vov.vn/du-lich/chinh-phuc-ta-chi-nhu-thien-duong-may-va-hoa-tim-823379.vov Tà Chì Nhù] on the uphill side of rocks. This requires the least amount of movement into the slope. Always use caution when moving in talus. Large rocks can be held in place by smaller keystones, disturbing them can cause rockslides. Climbers must stay in close columns whilst traversing. To prevent injuries, no member of the group traverses below another member. All other basics apply. These techniques are valuable precautions to learn in order to reduce the risk of the most common mountaineering hazard - rockfall. Learnt and practised to the point where they become second nature will make you a confident, and much safer[ ], climber.
