What have you seen that you trust after two weeks? Heres a few of mine: The Alabama defense, the right arm of Texas Tech quarterback Pat Mahomes and the jukes of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson.I trust that San Diego State senior running back?Donnel Pumphrey?and Florida State senior defensive end DeMarcus Walker, two of the seasons early stars, wont convince the underclassmen behind them to stay for their senior years. I trust that the state of Louisiana belongs to quarterback Danny Etling, at least until Mississippi State comes to Tiger Stadium on Saturday. And those Buckeyes look pretty salty, too. 1. As good as No. 10 Louisville looked at Syracuse on Friday night, and thats 845 yards and 62 points good, the Cardinals have until noon Saturday to figure how to keep two teams from beating them: No. 2 Florida State and, yes, Louisville. As hot as the Cardinals appear to be in their first two games, they committed three turnovers and dropped 11 passes in the element-free conditions of the Carrier Dome. They cant get away with that against the Seminoles. 2. TCU redshirt sophomore Kenny Hill is playing beyond his years, and Im not ready to trust him. At Texas A&M two years ago, Hill threw for 511 yards in his first college game. By November he had lost his starting job and served a two-game suspension; by May he had announced a transfer to TCU. Flash forward to Saturday when Hill threw for 377 yards and one touchdown and ran for 93 yards and two more scores against Arkansas. But he also drew an unsportsmanlike penalty with a throat-slash gesture that provided the Hogs with enough field position to score late and send the game into overtime, where Arkansas won 41-38. How good will Hill be when he grows up? 3. Speaking of the Razorbacks, you may have seen the note from Stats & Info that Arkansas now has beaten five ranked opponents since the beginning of the 2014 season, the most by any unranked FBS team. That sounds like an impressive number, and surely its better than beating none. But the full story is that (A) Arkansas has been unranked for a reason; (B) that reason being Arkansas also has lost eight games to ranked opponents in that time; when (C) the Hogs have been ranked in only two games, a win over UTEP and a loss to Toledo in 2015. They get another chance this week: No. 24 Arkansas plays Texas State. 4. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy struck the right tone of disappointment and responsibility in the statement he released Sunday about the misapplied rule that allowed Central Michigan to beat the Cowboys 30-27. I was more intrigued by the statement of Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder. In my mind, it is incomprehensible that a mistake made after time had expired cannot be corrected, said Holder, the former mens golf coach who led the Cowboys to eight NCAA titles. In golf, the rulebook may be checked after play and the score adjusted to ensure that its correct. In football, Oklahoma State is left to take solace in the two-game suspensions of the MAC crew and the Big 12 replay officials who worked the game. 5. The good news is that Arizona State back Kalen Ballage scored eight touchdowns in the Sun Devils 68-55 point-athon. The slightly better news is that in Todd Grahams five seasons in Tempe, the Sun Devils have won 10 games in which they have allowed 30 points. The much worse news is that Arizona State has allowed at least 30 points 28 times in Grahams 55 games, and nine times since the beginning of the 2015 season. Lets compare apples to apples: In that same time frame, Oregon, which also runs an up-tempo offense, has allowed 30 points in 17 games (the Ducks won 11 of them). The Sun Devils are exciting. But when will Graham figure out that they cant outscore everyone? 6. So Army and Wake Forest are 2-0 (against FBS competition, mind you) and LSU and Oklahoma State are not. The Black Knights havent started out 2-0 since 1996, when they began 9-0 and finished 10-2 and No. 25 in the AP poll. Army has had only one winning season since. The Demon Deacons havent started 2-0 against FBS opponents since 2008, when they beat Baylor and Ole Miss. That was so long ago that Wake finished 8-5 and Baylor finished 4-8. 7. And a quick Following the Coaching Legend update: Virginia Tech has lost nine fumbles in its first two games under Justin Fuente. Thats two more than it lost all of last season. In fact, in five of the last 10 seasons under Frank Beamer, the Hokies lost fewer than nine fumbles. It probably doesnt make Fuente feel good to remember that his Memphis team last year also lost nine fumbles over the entire season.Air Force 1 Dame Norge . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca.

Nike Sf Air Force 1 Norge . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- One day after picking up a win in a similar situation, Los Angeles Angels reliever Mike Morin chose the wrong hitter to challenge.Anxious to make up for an earlier error, Yonder Alonso hit a tiebreaking RBI double off Morin in the 10th inning to lead the Oakland Athletics to an 8-6 victory over the Angels on Wednesday night, avoiding a three-game sweep and snapping a five-game losing streak.Morin (2-2) got the first two outs of the 10th inning before the As scored twice. Danny Valencia and Tyler Ladendorf singled before Alonsos double to center scored Valencia with the go-ahead run. Marcus Semien followed with an RBI single.I got the first two guys out, which is obviously important, Morin said. But then a base hit to the right side, a couple of them in a row and then I fell behind Alonso 2-0. He was geared up for a fastball and I was going to challenge him, but he put a good swing on it.Alonso made up for an error that allowed the Angels to tie the game in the eighth.Jefry Marte and Jett Bandy hit back-to-back singles off John Axford to start the eighth and pinch-hitter Mike Trout drew a walk to load the bases. Johnny Giavotella sent a grounder to first base that Alonso bobbled, allowing Giavotella to reach safely and Marte to beat the throw home and tie the score at 6-6.Hes swinging the bat really good right now, As manager Bob Melvin said. I think when something transpires like that, you cant wait to get in a position where you can go help your team and he definitely did that.Ryan Madson (4-4) then came in for Axford and retired Yunel Escobar and Kole Calhoun, and pitched a scoreless ninth.Ryan Dull pitched the 10th to get his second save.With his family visiting from South Korean, Ji-Man Choi homered twice off of Jesse Hahn, belting a solo home run in the second inning and a three-run shot that curled around the right-field foul pole in the third inning that gave the Angels a 5-2 lead. He nearly had a third home run in the fifth inning but Coco Crisp reached into the left field stands to make the catch.It was not only Choois first multi-homer game of his major league career, but it was also his first multi-hit game.ddddddddddddI really wanted a multi-hit game because I had never had one, Choi said through an interpreter. This was my first major league multi-hit game, so its very crazy to do it in front of my family.Valencia, Max Muncy and Ryon Healy all homered for Oakland.Tied at 5-all in the top of the seventh, Jhoulys Chacin walked Jake Smolinski and Bruce Maxwell to start the inning. Crisps one-out double off the wall in right-center drove in Smolinksi to put the As ahead.The As tied the score in the fourth with three runs off Ricky Nolasco.In his first start since being traded from the Minnesota Twins on Monday, Nolasco, who grew up 50 miles away from Angel Stadium in Rialto, gave up five earned runs and six hits, including the three solo home runs.After being recalled earlier in the day to make the start, Hahn gave up five earned on seven hits in four innings for Oakland.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: RHP Henderson Alvarez was checked for thoracic outlet syndrome this week but a specialist, Dr. Greg Pearl, found no evidence of the condition.
