TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards to help No. 1 Alabama overcome a slow start and beat FCS team Chattanooga 31-3 on Saturday night.With the offense struggling to get going, the Crimson Tide (11-0) spotted the Mocs (8-3) the games first three points and didnt really shake them until late in the third quarter. The defense had a more Bama-like performance, and hasnt given up a touchdown in 13 quarters.Hurts was 15 of 21 for 136 yards a week after torching Mississippi State for 347 yards. He had a 47-yard TD pass to Calvin Ridley and added two 1-yarders to Gehrig Dieter, including one in the final minutes that made the score look a little closer to what most expected.Damien Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Ridley gained 94 yards on seven catches.Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart did not play in the game, but it wasnt clear if hes injured.It was a milestone win for Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose 41-5 record as the No. 1 team gives him the most of any coach. He had been tied with Ohio States Woody Hayes (40-4-1) and Florida States Bobby Bowden (40-5).Chattanoogas first-quarter field goal put Alabama behind for the first time since Kentucky scored the first three points on Oct. 1. The Mocs trailed just 14-3 until deep into the third quarter before Harris raced 25 yards for a touchdown.Alejandro Bennifield completed 16 of 21 passes for 106 yards for the Mocs, who sacked Hurts three times.Alabama wasnt exactly pushing the Mocs around early. Chattanooga stopped two runs from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled right on fourth down and hit Dieter in the end zone for a 14-3 lead.That was set up by a muffed punt at the 9.THE TAKEAWAYChattanooga: Was almost even in total yards with Alabama midway through the third quarter. Didnt allow a sack to a defense that came in with the most in the nation.Alabama: It was probably the least impressive performance of the season, considering what `Bama is expected to do to FCS teams. Left tackle Cam Robinson and backup Korren Kirven, who started at right guard, both left late with injuries.POLL IMPLICATIONSChattanooga: Came in ranked No. 11 in the FCS coaches poll and shouldnt be judged much for this one.Alabama: Still a lock to be No. 1 in the AP poll and playoff rankings, especially with teams behind Tide struggling.UP NEXTChattanooga: Finished the regular season and awaits its playoff fate.Alabama: Hosts Auburn in the Iron Bowl seeking a third straight win over its in-state rival.

The mental scars have finally healed for North Queensland.But Cowboys playmaker Johnathan Thurston reckons they will be as raw as ever for Cronulla in Friday nights NRL preliminary final at Allianz Stadium.And hes not even talking about the Sharks 49-year premiership drought.Thurston believed Cronulla were yet to exorcise their demons from the 39-0 thumping they received from the Cowboys in last years semi-final in Townsville.I think that will be driving them, Thurston said.They didnt play too well up here.We were pretty clinical that night.No doubt that will be motivating them.Thurston even hoped Sharks playmaker Chad Townsend may be carrying a bit of extra baggage.The Cronulla half was surprisingly benched late in their last clash, a qualifying win over Canberra.Obviously there is a bit of mental scarring when you get hooked with 20 to go, Thurston said of Townsend.I am sure he is level headed enough to make sure it doesnt happen.It may work in his favour, he might blitz it now.Thurston confirmed North Queensland had no such mental demons since ttheir historic premiership triumph last year.ddddddddddddntil then, the Cowboys had earned a reputation for being on the wrong end of crunch finals calls.There was the hand of Foran against Manly in 2012, Cronullas seventh tackle try in 2013 and a controversial disallowed four-pointer against Sydney Roosters in 2014.We are a totally different club and team to back then, Thurston said.What works for us is taking those decisions out of the officials hands.Now if we play well and get beaten we can cop it on the chin.Even Friday nights venue does not conjure up any dark memories for Thurston.North Queensland won their first final at Allianz Stadium in 2005 but have lost the past five at the venue - including those three controversial playoff matches that once haunted the club.Its just another field. I love playing there actually, Thurston said.Hopefully people come out of The Shire into the city - it should be a good night.
