GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- When Steve Spurrier spoke to No. 18 Florida earlier in the week, he talked about how one player can affect the entire team.The message stuck with Jalen Tabor, who wanted to be -- and was -- that guy Saturday.Tabor and Quincy Wilson returned interceptions for touchdowns, helping No. 18 Florida beat Missouri 40-14 and move into first place in the Southeastern Conferences Eastern Division.The cornerback tandem provided nearly as many highlights as either offense and seemingly saved the Gators (5-1, 3-1) from a fourth homecoming loss in the last seven years.Anytime you get a defensive score or a non-offensive score, its a momentum shift for the whole team, Tabor said. I felt like I did that for my team today.Tabor, widely considered a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft, squatted on a short pass by Drew Lock and went untouched for a 39-yard score in the second quarter. It was Tabors second Pick Six in as many years against the Tigers (2-4, 0-3). Not to be outdone, Wilson stepped in front of Sean Culkin on the ensuing possession, picked off Locks pass and went 78 yards the other way for his first career touchdown.When youve got two great corners like that, theyve got to pick one side of the field, Gators coach Jim McElwain said. Its like pick your poison. Where you going to go with it?Florida, at least early, looked like it might need both of them on a rainy day in the Swamp.Playing for the first time in a month, Luke Del Rio threw three interceptions in his return from a sprained left knee. And the Gators were flagged for eight false starts.Knee felt great, Del Rio said. Brett Favre said it: Playing injured or hurt is not an excuse for playing poorly. The knee didnt affect me at all. It was just bad decisions, bad throws.Floridas defense once again bailed out a less-than-sharp offense, which has become an all-too-often occurrence in Gainesville.Missouri went three-and-out on its first six possessions, and Lock threw for a meager 39 yards. The result was a ninth consecutive conference loss for the Tigers.Its definitely one of the worst feelings as a quarterback when you cant hold up your end, Lock said. Its on you. You force your defense back out on the field and they can barely get off the field because theyre so tired. Were out there making them play for 10 minutes at a time and thats not right.Mizzous latest loss came after an off week in which coach Barry Odom retooled his defense in hopes of better results. The Tigers allowed 418 yards rushing in a 42-7 loss at LSU two weeks ago.Florida finished with 523 yards.They took advantage of mistakes we made, and thats what good teams do, Odom said.Tabor and Wilson have done that before and surely will again.Its like a domino effect with those guys, Florida defensive tackle CeCe Jefferson said. If one gets one, the others guaranteed to get one. That was big, man. That was big. It definitely changed the momentum of the game. We were definitely rolling from there.THE TAKEAWAYMissouri: The Tigers will surely face more questions about an inept offense and a run-porous defense that has struggled to adjust to a new scheme.Florida: Despite losing to rival Tennessee last month, the Gators now control their fate in the SEC East. But to win the division for the second consecutive year, Florida probably will need to beat Georgia, Arkansas, South Carolina and LSU in consecutive weeks down the stretch.KEY INJURYFlorida linebacker Jarrad Davis, the teams leading tackler, injured his left ankle in the third quarter and had to be helped off the field. McElwain said Davis was getting tests to determine the severity, but said it was not broken.FOLEYS FINALEMcElwain gave the game ball to retiring athletic director Jeremy Foley. It was Foleys final game at Florida Field. He officially steps down Nov. 1.POLL IMPLICATIONSFlorida should move up a few spots in the next AP poll . The Gators topped 500 yards for the second time this season and would have enjoyed an even easier time had it not been for four turnovers.UP NEXTMissouri: Hosts Middle Tennessee next Saturday. The Tigers won the only other meeting, 41-40 in overtime in 2003.Florida: Gets another off week before playing rival Georgia in nearby Jacksonville. The Gators have won 20 of the last 26 in the series. Alonzo Mourning Jersey . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season. Nicolas Batum Jersey . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak.

Caleb Martin Jersey . Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. Willy Hernangomez Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.Michael Carrick has backed Marcus Rashford to cement his position in the Manchester United first team for an awful long time after his breakthrough season at Old Trafford. The 18-year-old has emerged as a key player for United since bursting onto the scene, scoring seven goals in his first 14 appearances for the club.Rashford was a relatively unknown talent until he deputised for the injured Anthony Martial in Uniteds Europa League last-32 time with Midtjylland in February. Carrick has likened the youngsters rise to a fairytale and believes he has the capabilities to remain an important part of Uniteds side for years to come.Speaking exclusively to Soccer Saturday, Carrick; Its a little bit of a fairytale in a way.If you have asked Marcus, he would have probably wanted to get himself into the U21s on a regular basis and taken it step by step. But he got thrown in after Anthonys injury and he has never looked back since. Marcus Rashford celebrates the first goal in the Manchester derby He seems to getting stronger, better and better, and he doesnt look out of place or as though hes is going to be a quick fix - he looks like hes got all the capabilities of being here for an awful long time.United continue their push for the top four at home to title-chasing Leicester City on Super Sunday, with victory for the Foxes enough to secure them a maiden top-flight crown at the home of the 20-time champions of England. Louis van Gaals side head into the game fresh from sealing their place in a first FA Cup final in nine years, following Saturdays last-gasp semi-final triumph over Everton.We are on a little run of wins which is nice, Carrick added. At the end of the day that is what it comes down to.At times this season we have played well - at Leicester for example - and we didntt win the game although we thought we deserved to win.dddddddddddd Anthony Martial sent Manchester United into their first FA Cup final since 2007 with a late winner at Wembley Its about winning the games, though, there are times throughout the season when results havent always shown the performance but it works both ways, weve won when we havent been very good as well.At this stage its about winning and picking up points and finishing the season as strong as we can.Victory on Sunday, while halting Leicesters title charge, would see United stay in touch with Manchester City and Arsenal in the race for European qualification. Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Daley Blind, Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling, Anthony Martial and Ander Herrera celebrate as United reach the FA Cup fin Carrick admits a club of Manchester Uniteds stature should not be celebrating finishing in the top four, but it is still something he would like to achieve.Certainly, if you win the FA Cup then winning the cup in its own right is a success, the midfielder said. We havent won that for a long time.I dont think as a club we can be celebrating finishing fourth but, if we get into fourth, it gives us something to go for next season. That is how I see it.Watch Manchester United v Leicester City on Super Sunday, 2.05pm, Sky Sports 1 HD Also See: LVG involved in United planning Redknapp: Fourth wont save LVG No United agreement with Jose Poch keen to replicate Sir Alex ' ' '
