The 62-year wait is over for the Western Bulldogs, their premiership drought broken by one of the greatest grand finals in AFL history.After five lead changes and constant high drama, the Bulldogs pulled away in the last quarter for a fairytale 22-point win on Saturday at the MCG.Bulldogs players, personnel and fans were in tears after the 13.11 (89) to 10.7 (67) triumph, which came just two years after the club was in disarray.Renowned as western suburbs battlers, their only other flag was in 1954. It is the third-longest wait for a premiership in history.They are the first AFL team to win the flag from seventh place and it caps an amazing year where the Bulldogs have triumphed over a shocking run of injuries.No injury was more devastating than the knee reconstruction after round three that ended captain Bob Murphys season.Murphy was already a beloved figure at the Bulldogs and his off-field leadership since that cruel setback made him the inspirational figurehead of this premiership.Coach Luke Beveridge called Murphy onto the stage after the match and handed him his Jock McHale medal as the premiership coach.This is yours mate - you deserve it more than anyone, Beveridge said.The flag is also a triumph for Beveridge, who is in only his second season as an AFL senior coach.The Bulldogs were in freefall when Beveridge arrived at the club in late 2014, following the departures of his predecessor Brendan McCartney and captain Ryan Griffen.It continues his Midas touch - in the past 11 years, Beveridge has been part of seven premierships as coach of amateur team St Bedes-Mentone, as an assistant at Collingwd and Hawthorn, and now at the Dogs.Beveridge admitted to surprise that the Bulldogs had turned around their fortunes so emphatically in just two seasons.He added that when their shocking run of injuries was at it height earlier this season, the team showed enormous faith.The probability at that time that we didnt make it here was probably really high - say 90 per cent, maybe higher, Beveridge said.So theres a 10 per cent possibility that we get here - we were 100 per cent on the possibility.You have to stay glass half-full.It was appropriate that Jason Johannisen - another Bulldogs casualty earlier this year with a serious hamstring injury - won the Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the grand final.Saturdays win also capped a finals series where the Bulldogs upset West Coast in Perth, ended Hawthorns premiership reign and then upset the Giants in Sydney.It tk everything we had and, once youve won three big games like that, youre not sure whether you have another big one in you, Beveridge said.Thank God we did.Club president Peter Gordon, another key Bulldogs figure, said the flag was a dream come true.This is one of those big days in life ... that most of us will never forget, one of the happiest days of our lives, for all Bulldogs fans, he said.Whats it feel like? It feels bldy fantastic!The Swans came so close to taking control in the second term but, ultimately, the 2012 premiers were left lamenting their second grand-final loss in three years.They were also seething at the 20-8 free-kick count against them, another major talking point from the match.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury will be very comfortable if his backup quarterback has to take over for the starter for a while.Backup quarterback Nic Shimonek threw for four touchdowns and 271 yards to lead Texas Texas past Kansas 55-19 Thursday night in each teams Big 12 opener.He steps in and plays his tail off, the fourth-year coach said about Shimonek. He threw some incredible passes.Shimonek came in after starter Patrick Mahomes, who also threw for four TDs, got injured in the third quarter.Mahomes, who threw for 277 yards and had one interception, left the game after a 32-yard run that ended with him going down hard on his right shoulder. After being checked briefly on the sideline, he tried to throw one pass before going into the locker rm for further evaluation.Mahomes could be OK, Kingsbury said. Asked how he knew that, Kingsbury said jokingly, cause I didnt see the trainer jump off the side of the stadium.We got to get him lked at more extensively, he said.The backups teammates think highly of Shimoneks work ethic.He never complains, said defensive back Justis Nelson. I never hear a bad word coming out of his mouth. He knows all the plays and we dont lose a beat whenever he comes in.Shimonek threw TDs for 4, 37, 31 and 59 yards, while Mahomes scoring strikes were for 14, 18, 17 and 6.Jonathan Giles led Texas Tech (3-1) with 12 catches for 219 yards.Theres a reason their offense is second in the country, Kansas coach David Beaty said. Those dudes can score fast.Giles continues to be Texas Techs go-to guy.They tried to double him at times, but he found a way to get open and once he gets it, he can do stuff with it, Kingsbury said.The defeat for Kansas (1-3) made it 40 straight losses in games away from Lawreence, Kansas.dddddddddddd.That score did not show how the game went, quarterback Ryan Willis said. I mean, hats off to them, they played their butts off, but we need to bounce back again. Some nights you win, some nights you lose.The Red Raiders have scored at least 50 points in nine straight home games.Beaty switched between QBs Montell Cozart and Ryan Willis.Im sure everybody has their idea of who should be playing quarterback for us, Beaty said. But were with them every day. I evaluate them every day. I see them every day. Our staff sees them every day. We make decisions based on what we see, not what we want.THE TAKEAWAYKANSAS: The Jayhawks tk some time to get going against a defense that was giving up 531.3 yards per game coming into the contest. They punted on their first six possessions and didnt get a touchdown until late in the first half after QB Ryan Willis came in for starter Montell Cozart.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders offensive line struggled and penalties erased big plays. An ineligible receiver call against Texas Tech negated a 31-yard reception by Derrick Willlies late in the first half. There were also two false start penalties, including one that nixed a 36-yard catch by Reginald Davis that would have given the Red Raiders the ball at the Jayhawks 1. I dont think our O-line played very well, and its something weve got to address, Kingsbury said.UP NEXTKANSAS: The Jayhawks play host to No. 21 TCU on Oct. 8.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders travel to Kansas State on Oct. 8.---Follow Betsy Blaney on Twitter at www.twitter.com/betsyblaney---Online: AP college ftball website: tball.ap.org" target="_blank">www.collegeftball.ap.org ' ' '
