Girardi bumped Jayson Nix up to the No. 2 sp from corse178's blog

Two years ago, Jeremiah Briscoe didnt have a choice but to leave his FBS program behind. Steelers Jerseys Store . Last year, it was the same for James Tabary.Its working out awfully well for both of them in the FCS. Theyre the Southland Conferences passing leaders.Briscoe is the real breakout star thus far, recently earning a spot on the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List.Back in 2014, he was among the most highly rated prep quarterbacks in the country and took a scholarship with UAB. He appeared in six games as a freshman, but the Houston native would never take another snap for the Blazers because the university chose to drop the football program.That led to Briscoes arrival at Sam Houston State. Hes flourished in his second year there, and oddly enough, it might not be happening if it wasnt for the FBS. Thats because he split time last season with Jared Johnson, who shuffled off to UTSA of Conference USA after being named the 2015 Southland offensive player of the year.Left to run the offense on his own, Briscoe has dominated every opponent thrown his way in 2016. Hes passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in all four games. His 368.3 yards per game and 16 TD passes rank second in the FCS behind Eastern Washingtons Gage Gubrud, lifting the Bearkats to No. 2 in the STATS FCS Top 25 behind only reigning champion North Dakota State.Jeremiah has really blossomed as a quarterback and his leadership skills are special, Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler said. Its been powerful to see him take this team over. With the tempo and the confidence we play at, I think the sky is the limit for this offense.Just as Briscoe is turning what has long been a run-first offense into a pass-heavy attack, Tabary is the reason for a similar switch at McNeese.Tabary was under center for Arkansas State last year, starting three games and appearing in four others as a freshman. However, he was dismissed from the team for an undisclosed reason, though its clear it was for some type of action he took after learning he wouldnt begin this season as the starter.The Cowboys scooped him up, and Tabary won the starting job. Hes shown exactly why through five games, throwing for 1,438 yards and 10 touchdowns -- both second in the Southland to Briscoe. Tabary is the first McNeese quarterback to throw for at least 200 yards in the first five games of a season.He continues to get better and better as hes getting familiar with the offense, and hes making it his own now which is good, first-year coach Lance Guidry said. A lot of production throughout the whole year throwing the football. James continues to get better. Hes only a sophomore, so weve got him for two more years, so the future looks bright.Tabary threw for a career-high 376 yards in last weeks win over Nicholls, helping McNeese jump to No. 20 in the STATS poll. He could be in for another big game Saturday against a Southeastern Louisiana defense which has managed only one interception through four games and hasnt sacked the quarterback in three straight.Briscoes assignment appears even easier. Hes facing Incarnate Word, which has the ninth-worst pass defense in the FCS at 318.8 yards per game and has given up 13 touchdown passes without picking one off. Briscoe helped turn Stephen F. Austin into the FCS lowest-ranked pass defense last Saturday by torching the Lumberjacks for 438 yards and seven TDs in a 63-28 win.I think my offensive coordinator told me he made two mental mistakes the entire day, Keeler said. That bodes well in our offense because we really put a lot on his shoulders to make the right decisions.... Hes the perfect signal-caller for what we do -- very smart, very accurate, great leader. The great leader part I think is the biggest part of this equation that has helped us off to a fast start.The Bearkats may be No. 2 in the rankings, but theyre second to none offensively. Their 637.8 yards per game are about 91 more than any other FCS team, and their average of 54.5 points is about a touchdown better than any other.Its really special what our offense can do when we play our best football, Briscoe said. And I think we can still continue to grow on what we did (last week). Steelers Stitched Jerseys . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Steelers Official Jerseys . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.  Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review?  Why was this overturned?  James Veaudry Pembroke, ON --  Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. http://www.authenticsteelersshopnfl.com/ .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Maybe a game-winning, broken-bat hit against baseballs career saves leader in the 18th inning will get Nate Freiman in a nice groove again. Freiman singled home the winning run against Mariano Rivera, lifting the Oakland Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday for a three-game sweep. "It was his deal," Freiman said of the cut fastball he saw. "That one he always throws." As a day game after a night game turned into a night game after a day game, John Jaso singled off Preston Claiborne (0-1) to start the decisive rally and went to third on Seth Smiths soft single to shallow left field against Rivera. Rivera issued only the 39th intentional walk of his 19-year career to Jed Lowrie before Freiman ended the 5-hour, 35-minute game on New Yorks getaway day to Anaheim for a weekend series with the Angels. "A little broken-bat blooper over the third baseman, and the other one the same place," Rivera said. "You cant do anything about it." Freiman knew he had it, raising his right arm in triumph. "I knew that was not getting to the left fielder. I knew it was falling," he said. Moments later, Freiman received a celebratory whipped cream pie in the face following his first career game-ending hit -- and Oaklands fifth of 2013 after compiling a major league-best 14 walk-off wins last year. He had entered the game in the top of the 16th. The AL West-leading As (41-27) won their 11th in a row at home, 21st in 26 overall, and moved a season-best 14 games above .500 to extend their best start since 1990. They became the first American League team to play two 18-inning games in one season since Oakland and the Washington Senators did so in 1971. Freimans wife, LPGA golfer Amanda Blumenherst, quickly congratulated her husband on Twitter: "Ahhh!! Nate just ended the 18 inning game! Bases loaded, single!! Pie in the face! Athletics win!" Each team used seven pitchers and threw 255 pitches. In all, 137 batters came to the plate -- short of the season high of 156 during Oaklands 19-inning win over the Angels in April and also the 20-inning game between the Marlins and Mets last Saturday. "It was very taxing even winning the game. To lose could have been demoralizing," As manager Bob Melvin said. "These are awful games to lose." New York made a dramatic play in the bottom of the 15th to keep the game going. Pinch-hitter Coco Crisp singled to left with one out and Vernon Wells made a perfect throw to catcher Chris Stewart, who blocked the plate and absorbed a collision to prevent Brandon Moss from scoring the winning run. The As had already begun streaming out of the dugout to celebrate. The Yankees had runners in scoring position in each of the extra innings through 14, stranding 11 baserunners. They left 13 on base in all while dropping their seventh in a row at the Oakland Coliseum. Pitching foor the first time in eight days, Jesse Chavez (1-0) struck out seven in 5 2-3 scoreless innings. Authentic Steelers Jerseys. Chavez fanned Kevin Youkilis and Wells with two on to end the 13th, then Travis Hafner and Wells in the 15th. Jerry Blevins escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 11th with two strikeouts. Pat Neshek worked out of trouble with runners on first and second in the 12th. Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer in the first as New York ended a season-long five-game stretch without a long ball, but the Yankees didnt score again on another day of missed opportunities. "I think its probably a little more frustrating because you can look at how you had an opportunity here and an opportunity there," manager Joe Girardi said. "A lot of guys probably look at that, but it doesnt change the result." It was the longest day game in Coliseum history. Neither A starter Jarrod Parker nor New York counterpart Hiroki Kuroda got a decision after a nice pitchers duel hours before the game ended. After Smiths tying, two-out double in the third, Oakland didnt reach base again until Jasos bloop single leading off the ninth. Oakland won the season series 5-1 for its second-best mark against the Yankees in franchise history. The 1990 club went 12-0. The As tied it at 2 in the third on a close play at the plate. Smith doubled off the wall in right and the relay throw was on target to Stewart, who tagged Jaso with his glove but had the ball in his bare hand. Jaso was called safe by plate umpire CB Bucknor, drawing an argument from Girardi. Earlier in the inning, Derek Norris RBI groundout scored Chris Young, who drew a leadoff walk. Eric Sogard followed with a single before the As pulled off a double steal. Parker, riding a three-start winning streak, was helped by a pair of double plays in the first four innings. Kurodas winless stretch reached five starts since he beat Toronto on May 17. He became the third Japanese-born pitcher with 1,000 innings in the majors, joining Hideo Nomo and Tomo Ohka. Girardi bumped Jayson Nix up to the No. 2 spot in the batting order from eighth a night earlier to shake things up and get the Yankees going, but Nix went 1 for 5 with a strikeout to end the 12th. NOTES: Yankees captain Derek Jeter had his surgically repaired left ankle examined by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., and was cleared to resume baseball activities and running. ... Crisp (bruised heel) and LF Yoenis Cespedes (tight left hamstring) were held out of the starting lineup. ... Rivera received a surfboard and a bottle of white wine from Napa Valley from the As in a pregame ceremony, along with a $10,042 donation to his foundation. ... The As are 7-0-2 in their last nine series. ... New York agreed to contract terms with Notre Dame 3B Eric Jagielo, who signed for $1,839,400. He was the 26th overall pick in last weeks draft and one of three first-round selections by the Yankees. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
