INDIANAPOLIS -- About 90 minutes before Monday nights game, Pacers coach Nate McMillan wasnt sure if Paul George was going to suit up.Magic coach Frank Vogel knew better.Im expecting him to play, Vogel said with a grin.George scored 13 points in his return from a sprained ankle, and the Pacers spoiled Vogels return to Indiana with an 88-69 victory Monday night.Vogel coached the Pacers for 5 1/2 seasons before he was let go in May. He was quickly scooped up by Orlando, and it looks as if he has plenty of work to do with the Magic.He remains popular in Indiana, and he was cheered when he was introduced before the game.I love Frank, said Pacers reserve C.J. Miles, who made four 3-pointers and scored 16 points. Franks one of the reasons Im here. He believed in me and Ill never forget that.Orlando shot 32 percent from the field and committed 16 turnovers, resulting in 20 points for Indiana. Evan Fournier led the Magic with 14 points on 4-of-15 shooting, and Aaron Gordon had 11.George also had six rebounds and five assists for the Pacers, who pulled away in the second half. Monta Ellis also scored 13 points, and Jeff Teague finished with 11.Indiana led by as many as 21 points during the fourth quarter.George and Vogel exchanged text messages in recent weeks specifically talking about this game, but the coach was focused on his team after its fourth loss in its last five games.Were going to figure it out, Vogel said. Im very disappointed in the inability to build momentum. We struggled on both ends. We need to go in and get back to work.TIP-INSMagic: Orlando has lost 12 of its last 14 meetings with the Pacers, dating to the 2012-13 season.Pacers: After scoring in double digits in each of the last four games, Al Jefferson was shut out.UP NEXTMagic: Host New Orleans on Wednesday.Pacers: Host Cleveland on Wednesday.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- No. 25 LSUs offense has discovered a knack for big plays even without Leonard Fournette, and just in time to run a gauntlet of ranked Southeastern Conference opponents.Now the Tigers are curious to see if they wont fill up highlight shows even more if their fearsome running back returns from his ankle injury for Saturday nights clash with No. 23 Mississippi.Much of the credit for LSUs newfound explosiveness through the air -- and on the ground -- has gone to new offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger, a former Tigers quarterback who was promoted to his current post when Ed Orgeron took over as interim coach after the firing of Les Miles in late September.Coach Ensminger is aggressive. We knew he was going to take his shots down the field, said LSU receiver D.J. Chark, who had an 80-yard touchdown catch and 19-yard scoring run in a 45-10 victory over Southern Mississippi last weekend. The wide receivers did something Saturday weve been waiting for. Coach gave us the opportunity to make plays. You never know when those opportunities are going to come. We didnt fall on our faces. It really worked out for us.In the two games since LSUs coaching change, LSU has scored seven touchdowns of 20 or more yards. Five of those came in the second half last week, and three of them went for more than 60 yards. Some of the big gains have come from running back Derrius Guice, a fast, elusive ball carrier who is finding bigger gaps in the defense because of the way LSUs offense has begun to spread defenses out. Hes had touchdown runs of 61, 42 and 37 yards in the past two games.Offensively they are different right now, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. They are very multiple. They give you a lot of different sets, staying balanced, using the skill at receiver; whether it is through speed sweeps or quick throws or shots down the field. Their run game has always been good -- and still is.It appears Fournette will join the mix after practicing this week, but chances are he wont resume the workhorse role that saw him delivering or taking one pounding after another while often running into the teeth of defensses that were aligned primarily to stop him.dddddddddddd Too many other skill players on LSUs offense have emerged in recent weeks to stop spreading the ball around.Given the success that everyones having, Im pretty sure were going to work him in strategically, senior receiver Travin Dural said. Were not going to overload him.A grin then spread across Durals face as he added, but we dont have a problem giving it to him every now and then.Dural also noted that the mere sight of Fournette in the backfield will likely motivate opponents to regularly stack defenders close to the line of scrimmage.Everyone knows what hes capable of. Just having him there, his presence, it opens up a whole different world, Dural said. It means more opportunities for the receivers (to get open). Im happy to have him back and have him healthy. Im looking forward to seeing him run again.Meanwhile, Ed Orgeron made it clear hes looking forward to seeing Ensminger call his share of deep passing plays, saying last weekends performance should have let everyone know that LSU no longer will hesitate to take shots down the field.LSU quarterback Danny Etling wasnt about to complain after throwing touchdown passes of 80, 63 and 23 yards -- the latter two going to receiver Malachi Dupre .The long pass plays showed the talent we have at wide receiver. We have a guy like D.J. who has the speed to outrun anybody. Then, Malachi popped open and made his big play, Etling said, adding that he trusts the 6-foot-4 Dupre to get to the 50-50 balls and make the catch.For Dural, LSUs recent explosiveness has been refreshing, but hardly a surprise.I knew it was very possible. We have the quarterbacks. We have the receivers. We have the running backs, Dural said. We finally put it together and hit a couple of deep balls and once that happened, one deep ball turned into two. Coach O says big plays fuel emotion. And once we had one or two of them they just kept on coming.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
