NEW YORK -- Nick Folk kicked his way to a big pay raise with the New York Jets. The Jets placed the franchise tag on the reliable kicker Friday after he had perhaps the best season of his seven-year NFL career. Folk made $780,000 last season, but the franchise tag estimate for kickers is about $3.4 million for this season. Folk was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent and by using the tag, the Jets could potentially set things up for a multiyear deal -- which it is believed Folk is seeking. Teams have until Monday to designate a player for the franchise tag, which allows a team to retain the rights to a scheduled unrestricted free agent. Its the first time since 2011 that the Jets used the tag, when linebacker David Harris was franchised. In his fourth season with the Jets, Folk made 33 of 36 field-goal attempts, including three winning kicks. He broke the franchise records for most consecutive field goals from the start of a season (23) and most consecutive home field goals (20). Folk also had a career-high 30 touchbacks on his kickoffs. After spending his first three seasons with Dallas, Folk has established himself as a clutch kicker for the Jets, with coach Rex Ryan playfully referring to him as "Folk Hero." Folk has repeatedly won training camp kicking competitions with the Jets, beating out Nick Novak, Josh Brown, Billy Cundiff and Dan Carpenter, among others, the last few summers.

It did not come from city rivals Temple, La Salle or Saint Josephs. It came from the Ivy League. Daniel Ochefu had 21 points and 10 rebounds and the No. 5 Wildcats pulled away down the stretch to beat pesky Penn 62-47 on Saturday night at the Palestra. Dylan Ennis added 10 points and was the only other scorer in double figures for the Wildcats (17-1), who have won four in a row. Antonio Woods scored 18 points to lead the Quakers (4-9), who have dropped four of their last five. Villanovas narrowest margin of victory over a Big 5 team was 14 over La Salle on Dec. 3, but this game was closer for longer. Taking a break from Big East play, where they have gone 4-1, the Wildcats only had a one-point lead against Penn with under 10 minutes to play before pulling away. They have won 10 games in a row against the other Big 5 teams since losing to Temple on Dec. 5, 2012. Woods cut Penns deficit to one with a 3-pointer inside the 10-minute mark in the second half. But Villanova scored the next seven, punctuated by Ochefus dunk, and the Quakers were never closer than five the rest of the way. We just scrapped for a road win, Villanova coach Jay Wright said, according to the teams official website. Thatt was a really difficult environment against a really hungry team with a great game plan.dddddddddddd We were able to just gut it out. It wasnt pretty and there really wasnt anything real positive that we did except for being mentally strong to keep playing every possession. Finally, we kind of broke through at the end. The Wildcats warmed up in the second half after shooting just 30 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes for a 23-21 lead at the break. They shot 56 percent the rest of the way. They finished their non-conference schedule unbeaten for the first time in program history, going 13-0. Penn has lost 11 consecutive Big 5 games since a win over Saint Josephs on Jan. 21, 2012. The Quakers fell to 1-23 all-time against top-five teams in the Associated Press poll. Their only win came Dec. 28, 1971, when the 14th-ranked Quakers knocked off No. 5 USC 88-87 at the Kodak Classic in Rochester, New York.
