MONTREAL - Jonathan Crompton doesnt have the rocket arm or the calm demeanour of Anthony Calvillo, but so far, he wins just like the former Montreal Alouettes quarterback great.On a Monday afternoon that featured the retirement of Calvillos No. 13 jersey, Crompton threw three touchdown passes as the Alouettes drubbed the Saskatchewan Roughriders 40-9 for their third win in a row.Crompton, who is 5-1 since he took over as the starter from Troy Smith and Alex Brink, completed only 12 of 25 passes, put picked up 225 yards with a pair of touchdown tosses to Duran Carter and another to Brandon London.Jonathan continues to do what we ask him to do, which is lead the team and get wins, said coach Tom Higgins. His record speaks for itself right now.The only way to evaluate a quarterback is if you win with him. Jonathans a winner and thats the reason were on this roll.Third string quarterback Tanner Marsh also scored on a one-yard plunge for Montreal (6-8). Sean Whyte added four field goals.The Alouettes were a mess early in the season as they searched for a replacement for Calvillo, their starter since 2000 who retired in January.The Roughriders (9-6), who could have clinched a playoff spot with a win, have been in the same situation since starter Darian Durants season ended with right elbow surgery last month. Neither Tino Sunseri nor Seth Doege has stepped up to claim the job.Sunseri started and went 7 for 12 for 72 yards, with a TD toss to Anthony Allen, an interception and a fumble. Doege took over in the fourth quarter and was 3 for 6 for 37 yards and an interception.Weve got to find answers to everything, said Riders coach Corey Chamblin. It has to be more than the quarterback situation.We have young guys in there and we depend on them to step up, but we understand that Darians not playing and were not hiding our heads in the sand on that. Weve just got to make sure that with the new quarterbacks, were still able to win.The Roughriders have lost three in a row and four of their last five, but Chamblin said its no time to panic. They lost in Montreal late in the 2013 campaign and looked to be coming unglued, but then rallied and won the Grey Cup.I remember post game saying I dont have the answers but well find them, and at the seasons end, we found the answers, added Chamblin. Its the same. We have to find the answers collectively about how to win football games.Allen gained 105 yards on the ground in the first half and didnt gain another yard on two second-half carries.It was fitting that all the post game talk was about quarterbacks on a day dedicated to the CFLs all-time passing leader. The intermission was extended for a 25-minute halftime ceremony in which a banner with Calvillos name and number was mounted on the stadium wall.The Alouettes have always done things right, said Calvillo, who got a standing ovation from the season-high crowd of 23,069. I was so nervous to get off the field.As an athlete, I hated when things like this go on. I just wanted people off the field so we could play. Thats what I was trying to do. Enjoy the moment, get off the stage and let these guys get back to work.Higgins let his team out five minutes early to catch the end of the ceremony.Then they blew open a game they led 21-7 at half time.Chris Rainey ran the kickoff to the Saskatchewan 43 and Crompton hit Carter with a 25-yard TD pass.After a Whyte field goal, Allen fumbled on an exchange with Sunseri and Winston Venable recovered on the 30, from which Crompton hit London in the end zone.Montreal gave up only a safety in the second half.There is emotion you can tap into and we did that, said Higgins. We didnt want to be too high.That would be terrible because all of a sudden youre trying too hard. But there was a plan. We had our own five minute warning and we got our players out. I think they appreciated it, and it was special for Anthony to see his (former) teammates out on the field.Montreal joined Toronto and Hamilton atop the East Division with six wins, setting up a three-way battle for what will likely be two playoff spots open for East Division teams. The Alouettes play at Toronto on Saturday, then end the season with games against Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton.All three teams control their destiny, said Higgins. We all play each other.Its who is going to line up and finish the season on a positive note. One will get the (first round) bye, one will be second and the third one might not make it.The Roughriders controlled the ball early as Allen ran the ball repeatedly, but it took an Alouettes turnover to set up the first score as Tristan Jackson recovered Carters fumble at the Montreal 35. Five plays later, Sunseri hit Allen with an 11-yard TD pass.Montreal tied it after Sunseri fumbled and John Bowman recovered on the Saskatchewan 25. A pass interference call against Terrell Maze put the ball on the one, and Marsh ran it in at 5:02 of the second quarter. Five minutes later, Crompton hit Carter with a pass over the middle and the slotback ran it 61 yards for a TD. It was Carters 100th career catch.After Montreal conceded a safety in the fourth, Doege handed Geoff Tisdale his second interception of the day.QB Kerry Joseph, 41, who signed with the Riders this week, was used on one short yardage play.Brink mopped up for Montreal.Notes: The 13-yard line at each end was highlighted in red, white and blue with a number 13 on the field to honour Calvillos jersey retirement. . .

The Bruins suffered their share of setbacks, a notable one just a week earlier. Once the Pac-12 tournament got rolling, the Bruins took off. Now, after trading body blows with one of the nations best defensive teams, UCLA takes home a Pac-12 championship in its first season under Steve Alford. Outlasting one of the best closing teams in basketball, UCLA knocked off No. 4 Arizona 75-71 in the conference tournament final on Saturday. "Weve got an edge to us now, its a lot of fun," Alford said. "To win a championship means a lot to us." They definitely earned this one, emerging from a battle of the Pac-12s best teams that featured big plays, big blows and floor burns. The Wildcats locked UCLA down in the second half after an offensive show in the first. The Bruins countered by doing the same thing to Arizona down the stretch, and then made the big plays against the big-play Wildcats to finish it off. UCLA point guard Kyle Anderson was at his all-around best, finishing with 21 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. Jordan Adams made a big 3-pointer with 45 seconds left and scored 19 points. Norman Powell scored 15 points and combined with David Wear to hit four free throws in the final five seconds. After three games in three days, the Bruins are Pac-12 champions and on a big roll headed into the NCAA tournament. "This gives us the confidence that we not only play with anybody, but beat anybody," Alford said. "But youve got to get hot and stay hot." Arizona (30-4) started flat defensively, clawed back behind its offence and shut down the Bruins through most of the second half. The Wildcats were unable to finish it off for one of the rare times this season, hurt by 10 missed free throws and questionable shot selection down the stretch. Nick Johnson led Arizona with 22 points and Kaleb Tarczewski added 12. Aaron Gordon had 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Wildcats, who may have lost out on a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament with the loss. "We lost a game we could have won," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "Jordan Adams hit a great shot and I believe some of the things we learned in todays game will better serve us for the biggest prize, why we all doo this, and thats to hopefully advance next week in the NCAA tournament.dddddddddddd" After 10 games in three days, the Pac-12 tournament came down to UCLA and Arizona, the top two seeds, on a big roll since arriving in Sin City. Arizona, the conferences regular-season champion, overwhelmed its first two opponents with its dont-let-them-breathe defence. The Wildcats raced into the tournament record books with their 32-point win over Utah in the quarterfinals and cranked up the highlight reel in the second half of its semifinal rout over Colorado, allowing 82 combined points in the two games. UCLA swamped Oregon in its opener, turning what was supposed to be a track meet into a stomping. The Bruins did the same thing to Stanford in the semifinals, all but putting the game out of reach in the opening five minutes. These teams met once during the regular season, Jan. 9 in Westwood. Arizona ended a three-game losing streak to the Bruins in that one, escaping with a 79-75 win despite 17 turnovers and blowing a 13-point lead in the final 6 1/2 minutes. UCLA had the advantage early in the rematch by doing what two previous tournament opponents couldnt: Score on the Wildcats. Pushing the pace at every turn, the Bruins got shots seemingly wherever and whenever they wanted. UCLA used a 12-0 run to go up 14-3 and kept pouring em in against one of the nations best defences. The Bruins hit 18 of 31 shots and scored 43 points in the first half -- more than Utah did the entire game against Arizona and matching Colorados total. "They came out and punched us in the mouth," Johnson said. The Wildcats kicked their offence into gear to get back in it, shaking off some questionable shots in the opening minutes with a string of 3-pointers, including three by Gabe York. Arizona shot 16 of 30, including 5 of 8 from the arc, to close to 43-40 at the half. The game turned from an offensive show to a defensive shutdown in the second, every possession a struggle to get off a pass, much less a good shot. Travis Wear and Gordon typified the effort of the entire game late in the half, sprinting from beyond midcourt, simultaneously diving and skidding across the floor for a loose ball. Wear came up with the ball and the Bruins the win, giving them a big notch on the belt in their first season under Alford. ' ' '
