BOULDER, Colo. -- Sefo Liufau threw for 345 yards, rushed for 108 more and scored three touchdowns as No. 12 Colorado beat No. 20 Washington State 38-24 on Saturday in a matchup of unlikely Pac-12 division leaders.Phillip Lindsay added 144 yards rushing and two TDs for the Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1, No. 10 CFP), who can wrap up the South side of the conference if Southern California loses to UCLA later Saturday or by beating Utah next week.Liufau briefly left in the fourth quarter only to return and pick up a crucial third-and-short that led to a game-sealing TD run by Lindsay.Luke Falk threw for 325 yards and three scores for Washington State (8-3, 7-1, No. 22 CFP), which had won eight in a row. The Cougars can still win the North Division with a victory against No. 7 Washington next week.The Colorado defense did its part, too, with Jimmie Gilbert forcing Falk to fumble with around 3 minutes remaining and Addison Gillam pouncing on it.Washington State and Colorado werent really expected to be in position for a division title this late into November. The Cougars were picked to finish fourth in the North during the preseason conference poll and the Buffaloes last in the South.Mike Leachs gambling mentality cost the Cougars a possible field goal when he went for it on fourth-and-4 in the fourth quarter. Colorado safety Nick Fisher tackled receiver Kyle Sweet short of the first down.Earlier, Leach rolled the dice on fourth-and-1 at his own 41 and Jamal Morrow rewarded his faith by gaining 30 yards. John Thompson later hauled in a 7-yard TD pass to give the Cougars a 24-21 lead.The Cougars finished 2 of 4 on fourth-down attempts.TAKEAWAYSWashington State: Standout receiver River Cracraft didnt play because of whats been reported as a torn ACL suffered last week. The Cougars made up for his absence by spreading around the wealth.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- LeSean McCoy was healthy enough to at least watch part of practice from the sideline Thursday, though its unclear whether the Buffalo Bills top offensive threat can play at Miami on Sunday.A person with direct knowledge of McCoys hamstring injury told The Associated Press the Bills running back is a game-time decision. The person spoke to The AP on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not revealed their plans regarding McCoys playing status.Coach Rex Ryan used the word hopeful in providing an update a day after McCoy left practice complaining of tightness in one of his hamstrings. Ryan declined to go into detail when asked about the severity of the injury except to say it wasnt full blown.He also said he didnt know whether McCoy injured the same left hamstring that hampered his production last season, his first in Buffalo.I know it scares every Buffalo Bills fan because right away we go back to last year, Ryan said. Hopefully, its not to that extent. I dont believe it is.The injury McCoy sustained in training camp last year led to him gaining 145 yards in three games before sitting out the next two. The NFLs 2013 yards-rushing leader then missed the final two games of the season due to a knee injury and finished with 895 yards rushing.Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn wants to be cautious with McCoys injury after what happened last year.I dont want him playing 85 percent, re-injuring the hamstring and then this thing lingers all year, Lynn said. I want him on the field and ready to go. I want him to be LeSean.McCoy was not present for the start of practice Thursday, but was spotted wearing a blue hoodie and carrying a football making his way to the locker room once the session ended.Ryan had encouraging news in saying he expects rookie linebacker Shaq Lawson to play against Miami (2-4). Lawson is Buffalos first-round draft pick who has been out since May when he had surgery to repair a right shoulder injury that nagged him at Clemson.ddddddddddddcCoys injury, however, presents a potential big blow to the Bills (4-2), who have leaned heavily on the running back in building a four-game winning streak -- the teams longest in eight years.McCoy has combined for 470 yards rushing and six touchdowns (including one receiving) in the past four games alone, and Buffalo now leads the NFL with 998 yards rushing.If McCoy cant play, backup Mike Gillislee would likely start. The third-year player spelled McCoy in a mop-up role in last weekends 45-16 rout of San Francisco and scored a 44-yard touchdown run.The Bills other running backs are sparingly used veteran Reggie Bush and rookie fifth-round pick Jonathan Williams.Buffalos offense could be further depleted with receiver Robert Woods missing his second consecutive practice because of an injury to his lower right leg. Woods had his right foot in a protective boot on Wednesday, and said he aggravated a pre-existing injury against the Niners. With starting receiver Sammy Watkins out (left foot), Woods leads Buffalo with 25 catches and 240 yards, and also has scored once.On the bright side, tight end Charles Clay returned to practice after missing Wednesdays session with an ankle injury.As for Lawson, Ryan said hes impressed with what hes seen from the pass-rushing specialist in two practices.Yeah, he looks pretty darn good out there. Hes flying around. He looks like the guy that we drafted, Ryan said of the player Buffalo selected 19th overall. Theres a reason we took him in the first round, and hes showing that on the practice field.The Bills would have to make a roster move to activate Lawson off the physically unable to perform list.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
