MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Skyler Howard played through a rib injury and Rushel Shell missed most of the second half with leg cramps, yet West Virginia overcame setbacks to their top two offensive threats to break a five-game losing streak to Southeastern Conference teams.Backup running back Justin Crawford rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown filling in for Shell, and Howard stayed in the game to lead the Mountaineers to a 26-11 win over Missouri on Saturday.Well take it, said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. Weve got a lot of work to do.So does Missouri, which lost in the debut for coach Barry Odom and fell in an opener for the first time since 2001, which was the first season under previous coach Gary Pinkel.Howard was hurt when he was tackled by Missouris Donavin Newsom while sliding during a run near halftime. Trainers worked on his ribs before the second-half kickoff and he returned to the game.Holgorsen said Howard is sore but no ribs were broken.He knew we needed him, Holgorsen said. The kid is a competitor and is going to do anything ... to help the team win.Howard didnt attempt a carry the rest of the game. He finished 23 of 35 for 235 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.In the brief time Howard sat out, backup quarterback William Crest lost a fumble and Chris Chugunov threw an interception.When guys go down, (other) guys need to go in and play at a high level, Holgorsen said. Some did. Some didnt.Crawford did. The junior college transfer got most of the carries after Shell walked off the field gingerly early in the third quarter and didnt return. Holgorsen said Shell had leg cramps and hes fine.Crawford had a 1-yard scoring run in the third quarter.From a teammate perspective, its good to know when you come off the field theyre putting someone in that is just as good as you, Shell said.Shell finished with 90 yards, including a 23-yard TD in the first quarter. He said he didnt want to return to the game after leaving and mess up the flow and the tempo of the offense.Missouri struggled most of the game under sophomore quarterback Drew Lock, who threw an 8-yard scoring pass to Chris Black with under two minutes left.I dont feel like I did a very good job on this, Odom said. Im obviously very thankful and honored to be the head coach. But Ive got a job to do and I didnt get it done today.THE TAKEAWAYMISSOURI: New offensive coordinator Josh Heupel has two weeks to get the Tigers ready for the grueling Southeastern Conference schedule. The Tigers were lethargic against a West Virginia defense that had nine new starters. Lock finished 23 of 51 for 280 yards.Odom said there was some good and some bad about Locks performance.Hes going to continue to get better, Odom said.WEST VIRGINIA: Like many games last season, the Mountaineers had trouble reaching the end zone following long drives. Four stalled inside the Missouri 10, all leading to short field goals by Mike Molina.Thats not good, Holgorsen said. Theres going to be times where those field goals need to be touchdowns. We have to do a better job of finishing drives.UP NEXTMISSOURI: Tigers fans get to see how Odom does for themselves in the home opener against Eastern Michigan -- a 61-14 winner over Mississippi Valley State -- before Missouris SEC home opener with Georgia a week later.WEST VIRGINIA: The Mountaineers welcome ex-Nebraska coach Bo Pelini in their first-ever meeting with Youngstown State, which gave Pittsburgh a scare on the road a year ago.Nike Air Force 1 Australia .

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St.Elliot Daly has been handed an England full Test debut against South Africa because head coach Eddie Jones feels he currently has the edge in sharpness over Jonathan Joseph.Daly, who has won five caps as a replacement, has got the nod to start at outside centre for Saturdays autumn series opener against the Springboks at Twickenham.The Wasps centre will form a new midfield partnership alongside Owen Farrell that offers long-range left and right-footed kicking options.JJ has missed a little bit of training lately and I just feel that Elliot is a bit sharper at the moment, said Jones, when asked about his decision to select Daly ahead of Joseph, who drops to the bench.He (Daly) has got pace and power and a booming left foot which can be very useful, and he has done well in Tests when he has come off the bench. JJ is a great team player and he will be back.Daly was among the Aviva Premierships most dangerous players last season with his acceleration and eye for an outside break terrorising defences to Wasps benefit.While Joseph relies on elusive footwork and a burst of speed to beat defenders, Dalys skill lies in gliding through gaps and he also provides a long-range boot out of hand and from the kicking tee.ddddddddddddInjuries have given Northampton flanker Tom Wood a chance to end a year-long spell in the international wilderness that began after last autumns World Cup.

Tom has got a big role in that area - to stop their ball runners. He has got a good workrate and he can stop them on the gainline.England captain Dylan Hartley said his Northampton team-mate had earned his recall. Tom has been out in the wilderness but he has got his head down and worked really hard and it has paid off. His work ethic is unbelievable.? ' ' '
