LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Jamie Greubel Poser and Aja Evans were Olympic medalists when they last teamed up, and after nearly three years apart they quickly recaptured that form.Greubel Poser and Evans won both heats during the opening day of the USA Bobsled National Team Trials on Sunday, a big step for both to return to the World Cup circuit this winter. They were 0.19 seconds better than Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs in the first competitive race of the season on wintry Mount Van Hoevenberg.The last time Greubel Poser and Evans raced together was the Sochi Olympics in February 2014, when they were bronze medalists.We felt great today, Greubel Poser said. Our timing was spot on. Overall, today was great and the snow actually helped make it feel like bobsled season was really here.Winter came quickly to the Adirondack Mountains. The track opened Monday, then closed Tuesday as temperatures rose into the 70s -- and then a winter storm struck this weekend, dropping several inches of snow on some parts of the area and bringing high winds that knocked out power.Meyers Taylor has a bye onto the national team based on her accomplishments last season, as does womens skeleton athlete Annie OShea. No other U.S. slider has a bye, and thats what makes the trials in Lake Placid and the upcoming races in Park City, Utah so significant.Im really impressed with the start of the season this year, USA Bobsled coach Brian Shimer said.In mens bobsled, where it shapes up as four drivers competing for three World Cup spots, Codie Bascue paired with Chris Kinney and prevailed in 1:53.43 -- just edging Justin Olsen and Evan Weinstock (1:53.58), Steve Holcomb and Carlo Valdes (1:53.62) and Nick Cunningham and Nathan Gilsleider (1:53.88).For the drivers, the results of trials are critical. Push athletes are selected for the World Cup team in a more subjective process.Theres so many good guys right now, said Bascue, who won a team trials race for the first time. And one through four being so close, we really push each other and make each other better.In mens skeleton, World Cup veteran Matt Antoine was dominant -- his two-run time of 1:49.75 was well ahead of second-place Nathan Crumpton (1:51.23). Antoine had the fastest two starts of the day, setting the tone for his easy win.I havent pushed that fast in a couple years, and that was a little bit of a relief, just to see that Im back on the right track, Antoine said. When you walk to the line and you know youre going to be fast at the start, it helps everything else from there on down.OShea, even though her World Cup spot is secure, competed anyway and won the first trials race in womens skeleton in 1:53.56 -- just 0.05 seconds ahead of Savannah Graybill.Racing your teammates is the hardest thing we do, OShea said.Third place in both skeleton races went to returning veterans who are back on the ice. Kyle Tress took last season off and returned this fall with hopes of getting back on the mens national team, and three-time Olympian Katie Uhlaender was a comfortable third in the womens race Sunday.

OXFORD, Miss. -- Nick Fitzgerald ran for career-high 258 yards and two touchdowns and also threw three touchdown passes to lead Mississippi State over Mississippi 55-20 in the Egg Bowl on Saturday night.Mississippi State (5-7, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) has won five of eight Egg Bowls under coach Dan Mullen. This rivalry victory -- in front of a 66,038 fans on the Rebels home turf -- was particularly impressive.Every time you win it, its awesome, Mullen said. Every time you lose, its awful. Because it sticks with you. What an unbelievable feeling.The Bulldogs finished with 457 yards rushing and averaged nearly 10 yards per rushing play. Aeris Williams added 191 yards rushing and two touchdowns, but it was Fitzgerald who had the biggest gains, including runs of 70 and 61 yards.Its a phenomenal feeling, Fitzgerald said.

Its a very disappointing night.THE TAKEAWAYMississippi State: The Bulldogs earn a satisfying ending to the regular season after several frustrating moments this fall. Whats even better for Mississippi State: Several of the teams star players like Fitzgerald (sophomore), Williams (sophomore) and linebacker Leo Lewis (freshman) should have plenty of football left in Starkville.Ole Miss: Its been a disastrous season for the Rebels, which started as the No. 11-ranked team in the country. A porous defense, combined with season-ending injuries to key players like quarterback Chad Kelly and cornerback Kendarius Webster was too much for Ole Miss to overcome.BREAKING RECORDSFitzgerald ran for a 70-yard gain in the first quarter to break the school record for yards rushing by a quarterback. The previous record was 986 by Dak Prescott during the 2014 season. Fitzgerald entered the game with 985.-----More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
