ATLANTA -- There were mixed results in the first week of Georgia Techs offensive healing.After coach Paul Johnson assumed direct supervision during practice, the spread-option attack moved closer to its usual production in last weeks 35-21 loss to No. 10 Miami -- at least when quarterback Justin Thomas and the Yellow Jackets were protecting the ball.But Thomas had two fumbles in less than one minute, and each was returned for a touchdown. Thomas, a senior better known for his usually reliable pitches and runs on option plays, knows he has to avoid mistakes when Georgia Tech tries to end a two-game losing streak on Saturday at Pittsburgh.You take away those turnovers and its a totally different ballgame, Thomas said Monday.Thomas lost his first fumble when he was hit from behind while looking to make a pass. He was looking to make a pitch to running back Clinton Lynch two plays later but fumbled when he tried to pull the ball back. The two quick touchdowns allowed Miami to stretch its lead from 14-7 to 28-7.The first turnover was where we dont protect him, Johnson said Tuesday. Thats not his fault. Youd like for it not to happen, but you cant hold him accountable for that. I think hed be the first to tell you the other one was probably a poor decision.Thomas also threw an interception late in the game for his third turnover.After being held to 124 total yards in a 26-7 loss to No. 3 Clemson, the Yellow Jackets (3-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) produced 361 yards, including 267 on the ground, against Miami.Johnson said he is continuing to take a hands-on role with the offense in practice this week as he looks for more improvement.I think there were some positives, but are we playing the way Id like to play? No, he said. We could be more efficient and not turn the ball over. We left at least two touchdowns out there on play-action if we had protected it better.Thomas is in his third year as a starter. He had too little help on offense in last seasons 3-9 finish.This seasons results have earned Thomas only lukewarm reviews from Johnson, but the quarterback has had a tough schedule. Each of Georgia Techs first three ACC opponents -- Boston College, Clemson and Miami -- rank among the top 12 nationally in total defense.Johnson said Thomas still needs more help, especially from his blockers.I think overall hes played OK, Johnson said. Weve got to help him, protect him a little better. Wed like for him to be a little more involved in the run game, but if we could get it sealed off better I think he could do that.I think hed be the first to tell you he hasnt played his best game, but I think hes been OK.Thomas said back-to-back losses havent sapped players confidence.Nobody is down right now, he said. Of course were upset we lost, but we felt like if we take care of our business we should have won.Thomas needs 41 yards rushing against Pitt to become the third quarterback in school history with 2,000 career yards. Josh Nesbitt (2,806) and Tevin Washington (2,225) also reached the milestone under Johnson.---AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Air Max 98 For Sale . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- A Romanian weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics could lose his medal after failing a doping test.Gabriel Sincraian, who won bronze in the mens 85-kilogram category in Rio, tested positive for excess testosterone, the International Weightlifting Federation said Thursday. The test was connected to the Olympics, the IWF said without specifying exactly when it was taken.An IWF statement originally listed Sincraian among a group of lifters who had been disqualified from the Olympics, but it later clarified his case was not yet closed.There is no final decision as regards the measures and/or sanctions relating to [Sincraians] Rio Olympic Games participation yet, the IWF said.Decisions on Olympic disqualifications and medals are up to the International Olympic Committee.Sincraian returned last year from a two-year doping ban for the banned steroid stanozolol. He could face an eight-year ban for a second offense, in line with usual IWF practice.If the IOC decides to reallocate the medals, Sincraians bronze would pass to fourth-place Denis Ulanov of Kazakhstan, whose entire team was almost banned from the Olympics over repeated drug ttest failures.ddddddddddddRomanian Weightlifting Federation president Nicu Vlad said Sincraian had been under a provisional suspension since Sept. 30 over the failed test and that it could be linked to supplements he had been taking.He was asked if he still had [the supplements], because it would be good for them to be analyzed, and he said he didnt, Vlad told Romanian news agency Agerpres.The entire Bulgarian and Russian weightlifting teams were banned from competing in Rio due to repeated doping cases, while lifters from Poland, Taiwan, Cyprus and Mongolia failed tests either during or shortly before the Games.Weightlifting has been rocked by dozens of failed drug tests from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, which turned up when samples were retested by the IOC this year using modern technology. More than 40 competitors have tested positive in those retests, including several gold medalists. In one event from 2012, the original ninth-place finisher is in line to receive a bronze medal because six athletes who finished above him have failed drug tests.
