Lakers stymie Tigers to get
1st win in series since ’08
BY EDWARD MARLOWE
[email protected]
MURRAY — For the first
time since 2008, Calloway
County students will walk the
halls of their school and be
able to see the highly-coveted
“Traveling Trophy.”
Saturday night at Roy Stewart Stadium, the Lakers took
a 6-0 Friday night lead over
Murray and expanded on it –
beating the Tigers 13-2 behind
four more quarters of shutout
defense and two touchdowns
from the ever-present receiver
and defensive back Jeremiah
Malone.

first score on Friday night, taking a slant right for a 4-yard

and-6 late in the third quarter
to give the Lakers their largest
lead over Murray in nearly a
decade.
Asked if he was surprised his
number was called, Malone
just smiled and kept it simple.
“I asked for it.”
Calloway County head coach
Mickey Garrison has now had
the joy of both playing and
coaching in the much-anticipated “Crosstown Classic,”
and admitted after the win
that he was afraid his team
would be too amped after Friday’s lead and lose momentum going into Saturday.
A shutout second quarter
and a fourth-down gamble in
the third all but quieted any
doubts the Lakers would come
away with a long sought-after
victory.
“Our guys still had it,” he
said. “But both sides by the
end, you could see it took its
toll.
“The emotional and psychological side of this rivalry
– unless you’ve played in it as
an athlete – you have no way
to understand how it takes its
toll. There’s a lot more that’s
going on than just the physical
game, but I’m very proud of
how our guys hung with it and
stuck it out.”
It’s the second-straight
week the Lakers have put their
defense on the field and allowed zero points, with Murray’s only score coming on a
blocked punt late in the fourth
quarter and still trailing 13-0.

and the Oakland Athletics rallied for two runs, beating the
St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Saturday night.
St. Louis starter Mike Leake
was scratched because he was
still recovering from having
shingles. The Cardinals fell
to 1-8 in interleague games at
Busch Stadium this season.
Oakland trailed 2-1 in the
eighth when Davis singled
with one out against Matt
Bowman (2-5) and Ryon
Healy doubled, extending the
longest active hitting streak in
the majors to 13 games.
Seung Hwan Oh relieved
and Max Muncy hit a grounder that Brandon Moss stopped
with a dive, but Davis easily
beat the throw to score the tying run. Brett Eibner followed
with a sacrifice fly.
Zach Neal (2-4) pitched a
career-best six innings. Oakland pitchers held the Cardinals without a hit after the
fourth inning, retiring the last
17 batters.
Daniel Coulombe (2-1) and
Liam Hendriks combined for
two perfect innings to set up
Ryan Madson, who pitched
a perfect ninth for his 26th
save.
Cardinals rookie Alex Reyes
made his first major league
start, giving up one run on
two hits and four walks in 4
2-3 innings.
Zach Duke relieved and
hit pinch-hitter Danny Valencia to load the bases, then
walked Davis to force home
a run. Reyes had started his
big league career with five relief appearances, pitching 91/3
scoreless innings.
Randal Grichuk hit his 18th
homer, a 431-foot drive in the
second. The Cardinals have
homered in 16 straight games,
one shy of their season best.

Torre, Chris Carpenter and

Mariota sharp in Titans’ victory
BY JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Marcus
Mariota and Derek Carr look
ready for the season to start
after a successful preseason
dress rehearsal.
Mariota led Tennessee to
scores on all four drives he
played and Carr threw two
touchdown passes for Oakland and the Titans beat the
Raiders 27-14 on Saturday
night.
With the starters getting
their most playing time in the
third week of the preseason,
the offenses looked in midseason form while both first-team
defenses struggled mightily.
Mariota had the Raiders
scrambling all night, faking
out DJ Hayden on an option
run and beating Oakland’s
top cornerback Sean Smith on
a couple of plays.
Smith nearly intercepted
a pass to Tajae Sharpe on
the opening drive and safety
Nate Allen jumped in apparent celebration. But Sharpe
caught the ball and got by the
unsuspecting Allen for a 60yard gain that set up DeMarco
Murray’s 1-yard run.
After settling for field goals
on Tennessee’s next two
drives, Mariota led one more
TD drive late in the half before calling it a night. He finished 9 for 16 for 170 yards
and ran for 20 more.
Carr was just as sharp, completing 10 of 15 passes for 146
yards. He was able to hit a couple of deep passes, including a
41-yarder to Michael Crabtree
on the opening drive and a
perfectly placed 29-yarder to
Amari Cooper in the end zone
for his second TD pass.
Carr capped the opening
drive with a 6-yard TD pass to
rookie DeAndre Washington
and nearly had a third TD, but
he missed an open Clive Walford in the end zone in the closing minute of the first half.
Titans second-round pick
Derrick Henry used his size
to overpower Raiders defenders at times and rushed for 49
yards on 12 carries.
Graves County showed an
improvement from its kickoff
last week to its home opener
Friday night. About the only
thing that deteriorated was the
weather.
As strong winds and heavy
showers moved through to
start the second half, the Eagles shook off the rain and
most anything Trigg County
threw their way to – eventually – claim the 21-0 win.
Facing second down and 27
yards to move the chains from
midfield, quarterback Ryan
Mathis called his own number, tucked the ball and raced
through the rain for the third
Eagle touchdown with 3:59 off
the clock.
Nearly six minutes later
with lightning illuminating the
sky, officials halted play and
got both teams off the field as
fans sought shelter away from
the stands. An hour later, the
decision was made to resume
the game Saturday night.
Two hours later, however,
the game was called and the
Eagles were called the victors.
“We played a whole lot better. We improved quite a bit
over the last week,” said Eagle
head coach Lance Gregory of
his team’s showing offensively

Cardinals weather delay
for late night triumph
BY DAVID GREEN Mayfield Messenger
It was “Late Night at War
Memorial Stadium” on a
stormy Friday night - and Saturday morning - with Mayfield prevailing over Marshall
County and a 2 1/2-hour rain
delay.
The game ended after midnight with the Cardinals on
top, 48-7.
“Mother Nature put on quite
a show out there,” Mayfield
Coach Joe Morris said.
After a bit of a slow start,
the Cardinals put on a show of
their own.
Senior quarterback Landon
Arnett threw three touchdown
passes, two of them covering
half the field or more. Jack
Murrell hauled in a 50-yard
strike and Jordan Harrison
caught a wideout screen, spun
and raced 73 yards untouched
to the end zone.
Another big play came on a
56-yard jaunt by Trajon Bright
which netted his second TD
of the night and sixth of the
young season.
Shauntrez Tyler also scored
twice on rushing plays.
Morris noted that the big
plays reflected the abilities of
some of his athletes.
“Marshall stacked the box
more than we expected,” the
Mayfield coach said. “We’ve
got the playmakers. We’ve just
got to figure out how to get
them in space where they can
operate.”
Mayfield did not get rolling until near the end of the
first quarter. After battling the
Marshals on near-even terms,
the Cards put together a 10play, 74-yard drive capped by

to the turf right before
halftime.
The other came with
less than five minutes
remaining in regulation,
as a dropped snap at
the 2-yard line was recovered by junior safety
Jacob Bellah to all but
clinch the game.
In a two-score win for
the Lakers, the missteps
at critical times proved
costly for Murray.
“There were times
where we got going, and
then something would
happen,” said Tiger skipper Keith Hodge after
the loss. “It’s inexperience. It’s a mindset. It’s
hard to explain. I think
it’s a mindset of inexperience, and it’s a hurdle of,
‘Hey, you know, we have
to grind things.’
“At some point in time,
we can’t use inexperience as a grind anymore.
We’ve got to grow up a
little bit, I feel like, across
the board.”
Murray played without star running back

for Murray, as sophomore defensive end
Colton Cox came away

The Cards added three

Halftime arrived with
brisk, cool winds that
were followed by heavy
rain and a spectacular
lightning display. The intermission was lengthy,
and the teams did not
resume play until 11:25
p.m.
“You don’t know how
your kids are going to

Coach Evan Merrick
praised
Morris
for
agreeing to wait out the
weather and complete
the game.
“There’s
probably
not another school in
western Kentucky that
would’ve done that,”
Merrick said. “Our kids
felt we were there to play
the whole game, and
theirs did too.”
After the delay, Marshall County put together a scoring drive to avert
a third straight shutout
at the hands of Mayfield.
The touchdown came on
a fourth-and-1 run by
Dalton Nelson. The score
answered the long run by
Bright earlier in the period, and made it 34-7.
It gave the visitors a
7-6 “victory” in the third
quarter. But the Cardinals owned the rainy
night.
Marshall

drove to the Mayfield 2

a fourth-and-goal pass
from the 3 resulted in an

Anton Lumson led a

Bright carried 14 times
for 153 yards, and Arnett
completed 9 of 15 passes
for 217 yards. He threw
two interceptions, both

back Austin Riley.
Mayfield’s
defense
held the Marshals to 232
yards total offense. Mason Green had 20 carries
for 74 yards and Austin
Riley ran 14 times for 53
yards.

tions of 19 and 13 yards
by Elliott and Grant to
get into scoring position.
In his 33-plus minutes
of work in the rain-shortened game, Mathis finished 10-of-24 passing
for 120 yards. Aided by
his 50-yard scoring run,
he also rushed for 115
yards on seven carries.
Two of Mathis’ scrambles – for 14 and 21 yards
– came while working the
clock right before halftime
to get the Eagles in another scoring position.
“He made some great
throws and made a good
play in the rain off his own
read,” Gregory said. “He
did a great job with his
feet and had a great command of the offense.”
As the defense eliminated mistakes, it added
pressure to the opposing
offense. While Trigg’s
Wilson was hobbled
with a foot injury from
the week before (he fell
down on his first snap),
Graves County’s defense
attacks by Avery Miliken
and Nathan Jones on the
Wildcats negated any of
their firepower.
Trigg County finished
with 12 rushing yards
and 92 yards between
their two QBs. It was
their first time in 54
years the Wildcats had
back-to-back shutouts to
start the season.
“Defensively, we played
about as well as we could
play,” the head coach
noted. Regarding his run
game that gobbled up 235
yards, “We improved, but
we still have to do a better
job blocking at the second
level.”

Niners’ Kaepernick refuses
to stand for anthem in protest
BY JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif.
— San Francisco 49ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernick is refusing to
stand for the national
anthem before games
because he believes the
United States oppresses
African Americans and
other minorities.
Kaepernick sat on the
team’s bench Friday
night during the anthem
before the Niners played
host to the Green Bay
Packers in an exhibition
game. He later explained
his reasoning in an interview with NFL Media .
“I am not going to stand
up to show pride in a flag
for a country that oppresses black people and
people of color,” Kaepernick said. “To me, this is
bigger than football and
it would be selfish on my
part to look the other way.
There are bodies in the
street and people getting
paid leave and getting
away with murder.”
The 49ers issued a
statement after Pro Football Talk initially reported
on Kaepernick’s stand,
saying that Americans
have the right to protest
or support the anthem.
“The national anthem
is and always will be a
special part of the pregame ceremony,” the
team said. “It is an opportunity to honor our
country and reflect on
the great liberties we
are afforded as its citi-
zens. In respecting such
American principles as
freedom of religion and
freedom of expression,
we recognize the right of
an individual to choose
to participate, or not, in
our celebration of the national anthem.”
Kaepernick, who is biracial, was adopted and
raised by white parents.
He has been outspoken
on his Twitter account
on civil rights issues and
in support of the Black
Lives Matter movement.
Kaepernick said he is
not worried about any
potential fallout from his
protest.
“This is not something
that I am going to run by
anybody,” he told NFL
Media.

After Slam miss at U.S. Open, Williams still at top
BY HOWARD
FENDRICH
U.S. Open at a glance
Associated Press
Despite
everything
that Serena Williams has
won and done, her sense
of self can still fluctuate
based on the outcome of
a particular match.
Doesn’t always seem
to matter that she owns
a record-tying 22 major singles titles heading into the U.S. Open,
which begins Monday
with a retractable roof at
Arthur Ashe Stadium for
the first time.
Not necessarily a big
deal to her that she’s
spent the past 3½ years
entrenched at No. 1 and
is the oldest woman ever
to top the WTA rankings.
And there are times
when the 34-year-old
American basically forgets that she transcends
her sport and has become
a cultural icon away from
the tennis court.
Williams is devastated when she is dealt
a setback, such as last
year’s “Did that really
happen?!” loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S.
Open semifinals, ending
an attention-grabbing,
pressure-piling bid for
the first calendar-year
Grand Slam by anyone in
more than a quarter-century. Williams acknowledges she measures herself constantly.
“Unfortunately, I definitely do, which I don’t
think is normal. I definitely feel like when I
lose, I don’t feel as good
about myself,” she said.
“But then I have to,
like, remind myself that:
‘You are Serena Williams!’ You know? Like,
‘Are you kidding me?’”
Williams
continued,
laughing and leaning for-
Associated Press
Serena Williams hugs the 2014 championship trophy after defeating Caroline
Wozniacki of Denmark at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York. Last
year she was upset in the semifinals while attempting to complete a Grand
Slam sweep in 2015.
ward. “And it’s those moments that I have to just,
like, come off and be like,
‘Serena, do you know
what you’ve done? Who
you are? What you continue to do, not only in
tennis, (but also) off the
court? Like, you’re awesome.’ That really just
shows the human side of
me. I’m not a robot.”
She is at the stage of
her career where history
is in the offing nearly every time a racket is in her
right hand. So while the
stakes are different from
what they were at Flushing Meadows in 2015,
Williams does have
something significant to
play for yet again.
After equaling Steffi
Graf for the most Grand
Slam titles in the professional era (which dates
to 1968) by winning
Wimbledon last month,
Williams now can break
that tie by earning No. 23
in New York. Only Margaret Court owns more
major singles trophies,
with 24, but more than
half of that total came
against amateur competition.
Not that Williams was
immediately ready to
think about topping Graf
after pulling even with
her at the All England
Club.
“One thing I learned
about last year is to enjoy
the moment,” Williams
said. “I’m definitely going to enjoy this.”
Good thing, too, because not everything has
gone smoothly since that
most recent triumph.
Slowed by a bothersome
right shoulder, Williams
lost in the third round of
singles and first round
of doubles at the Rio de
Janeiro Olympics — she
was a 2012 gold medalist in both events — and
then pulled out of a hard-
court tuneup event in
Ohio.
Williams is assured of
remaining at No. 1 until
the end of the U.S. Open,
which will bring her current streak to 186 weeks
in a row, tying another
mark held by Graf. Depending on what happens in the tournament,
Williams could be overtaken in the rankings by
No. 2 Angelique Kerber
(who beat Williams in
the Australian Open final
in January), No. 3 Garbine Muguruza (who beat
Williams in the French
Open final in June) or
No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska.
“It’s definitely intriguing,” Roger Federer said
about tracking the women vying for No. 1. “It’s
nice to see this race.”
Federer, who won five
of his men’s record 17
Grand Slam titles in New
York, will be sitting out
A look at the U.S. Open, the year’s last Grand Slam tennis
tournament:
Surface: Hard courts.
Site: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New
York.
Schedule: The 14-day tournament begins Monday. The women’s singles final is Saturday, Sept. 10; the men’s singles final
is Sunday, Sept. 11.
New This Year: A $150 million retractable roof has been installed at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which will allow play when it
rains.
2015 Men’s Singles Champion: Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
2015 Women’s Singles Champion: Flavia Pennetta of Italy.
Last Year: Serena Williams’ bid for the first calendar-year
Grand Slam since 1988 ended with a stunning loss to unseeded Roberta Vinci in the semifinals. Vinci then lost to Pennetta
in the first all-Italian major final, 7-6 (4), 6-2. After winning her
first Grand Slam trophy, Pennetta announced she would retire
at the end of the season. Djokovic beat Roger Federer 6-4, 5-7,
6-4, 6-4 for his second U.S. Open title and 10th major championship overall.
Key Statistic I: 22 — Number of Grand Slam singles titles
won by Williams, sharing the professional-era record with Steffi
Graf. Williams can break their tie at Flushing Meadows. Only
Margaret Court has won more, 24 — 11 as a professional, 13
as an amateur.
Key Statistic II: 186 — Number of consecutive weeks Williams will have spent at No. 1 by the end of the U.S. Open,
equaling Graf’s all-time WTA record. Depending on results in
New York, Williams could be surpassed in the rankings after
the tournament.
Who’s Missing: Top names missing from this year’s field include Roger Federer (letting left knee heal), Maria Sharapova
(serving a doping suspension), Victoria Azarenka (pregnant),
Tomas Berdych (appendicitis).
Prize Money: Total payout to players is a tournament-record
$46.3 million, a $4 million increase from 2015. The men’s and
women’s singles champions each receive $3.5 million, up from
$3.3 million last year.
the U.S. Open for the
first time since 1999 as
he takes the rest of the
season off to let his left
knee heal. A year ago,
Federer lost in the final
at Flushing Meadows
to Novak Djokovic. In
Federer’s mind, the topranked Djokovic is the
favorite this time, even
though No. 2 Andy Murray’s summer has been
“phenomenal.”
One reason: Federer
thinks the installation
of the new $150 million
roof at the main arena
will limit the wind even
when it’s open, which
will help Djokovic.
Not too long ago,
Djokovic appeared to
be close to unbeatable
no matter the surface
or conditions, and a
buzz was building about
whether he could chase
a true Grand Slam. But
he exited Wimbledon
in the third round, then
the Olympics in the first
round, while Murray
won both of those titles.
“Novak, obviously, the
last two years, really, has
played amazing tennis.
His consistency — what
I’ve done for, like, the
last four months, he’s
been doing for, like, the
whole year,” Murray
said. “So I need to try
and keep that going, and
the U.S. Open is always
the next big goal.”
Cowboys report Romo
has broken bone in back

Monica Puig of Puerto Rico reacts after winning the final point of the Aug.
13 gold medal match in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A few
weeks ago, Puig was a player outside the top 30 with one career title who
had never made it past the fourth round at a major. Now she comes into the
U.S. Open as an Olympic gold medalist.
Puig carries golden reward
BY RACHEL COHEN
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Monica
Puig gazed out at her fellow
Puerto Ricans jamming the
parade route, and in their
eyes she saw hope.
They hailed her with “a
sense of satisfaction,” she
recalled Saturday, “and a
sense of belief that things
are going to get better.”
Throughout her stunning run to the Olympic
tennis gold medal, Puig
embraced the symbolism
of each upset victory. An
economic crisis is devastating the island of her
birth, and she appreciated
that if she could prove the
impossible is possible,
that message would reverberate far beyond sports.
“If Puerto Rico channels that same energy
and belief that things
will get better and working for the better of the
island, the better of the
community, things will
improve,” Puig said four
days after the U.S. territory honored its Olympic
team and, above all, its
first gold medalist.
“I really hope I gave
them a lot of confidence
moving forward,” she
added, “that things will
actually get better.”
The world’s 34thranked women’s tennis
player met with a roomful of reporters Saturday,
exactly two weeks after
she beat Australian Open
champ Angelique Kerber in three sets in the
final in Rio de Janeiro.
Poised and philosophical
in ways that bely her age,
the 22-year-old realizes
some people deem her
gold medal “a fluke.”
After all, Puig has never made it past the round
of 16 at a major. And at
the U.S. Open, which
starts Monday, she’s
never advanced beyond
the second round. Puig
is already bracing herself
for the reality that her
run at Flushing Meadows could fall well short
of what took place in Rio.
“I’m 22 years old.
There’s still a long way
for me to go, a long
stretch of career,” she
said. “If anything happens, any kind of slip-up,
it’s not really going to be
a big deal, because I have
a process and I have a
long-term view of where
I want to go.”
Which isn’t to say she
expects a slip-up.
“I know that the Olympics wasn’t a fluke for me,
because I have worked
very hard to get to where
I am,” Puig said. “I know
the hours and the tears
and the sweat and everything that’s been put into
my practices. It’s been
very difficult for me.
“But that moment, nobody will be able to take
away.”
Even she considers that
Olympic moment to be
like something out of a
movie script. When spectators chanted “Si se puede!”
(”Yes you can!” in Spanish)
during the final against the
second-ranked
Kerber,
Puig flashed back to a scene
from the film “Miracle”
about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
FRISCO, Texas —
Tony Romo is out with
yet another back injury
and it’s unknown when
he will return, although
Dallas coach Jason Garrett says he expects his
star quarterback to play
this season.
Garrett said Saturday
that Romo sustained a
broken bone in his back
when he was hit from
behind by Seattle’s Cliff
Avrill and slid awkwardly on the third play of a
preseason game.
Romo tried to get back
into Thursday’s game
and said afterward that
he was OK. But Garrett
said the 36-year-old
woke up Friday with
stiffness, and an MRI
revealed Romo’s fourth
back injury in less than
four years. The injury
will not require surgery.
Garrett
wouldn’t
rule out Romo for the
regular-season opener
Sept. 11 against the New
York Giants. Rookie
Dak Prescott, a fourthround pick who has had
a strong preseason, is
the presumed starter, although Garrett wouldn’t
acknowledge that either.
“If you guys remember, he has played with
fractures in his back
before,” Garrett said, referring to Romo’s quick
return from a small fracture in his back in 2014.
“So that probably
more than anything else
is what is not giving us a
timetable. We’ve heard a
wide range of possibilities in terms of when he
would be able to play.”
The Cowboys plunged
from 12-4 in 2014 to
4-12 last season, when
Romo missed 12 games
with a twice-broken left
collarbone. Dallas went
1-11 without him.
Romo had back surgery twice in 2013, the
first time during the
offseason and again in
December after rupturing a disk in Week
16 against Washington
and missing the finale
that the Cowboys lost
with a playoff berth on
the line.

Bowman excited to fill in for Earnhardt again
BY NOAH TRISTER
Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. —
Alex Bowman should
have plenty of fans this
weekend at Michigan
International Speedway
in his return to NASCAR
Sprint Cup racing.
Not only will he be filling in for Dale Earnhardt
Jr., but his No. 88 Chevrolet will be adorned with
a special University of
Michigan paint scheme.
Maybe that’ll be enough
to turn Bowman into a
college football diehard.
“My whole life I’ve
raced so much that I
haven’t really been able
to be a big fan of anything,” he said. “This year
has been a big change in
that. With football starting up here next week,
I’m going to start off as
a University of Michigan
fan and go from there.”
The 23-year-old Bowman has never finished
in the top 10 in 72 starts
at the Cup level, so this
chance to race for Hendrick Motorsports in
Earnhardt’s place gives
him a rare opportunity to
compete under the spotlight. Earnhardt has not
been cleared by doctors to
return to racing as he recovers from a concussion.
Bowman drove for
Earnhardt at New Hampshire last month, but Jeff
Gordon has filled in for
him the past four races.
Earnhardt will miss at
least two more races,
with Bowman taking his
place this weekend and
Gordon driving for him
at Darlington.
“Being as close of
friends as I am with Dale,
I have just been hoping
he gets to feeling better
more than anything,”
Bowman said. “Obviously, I’m more than happy
to fill in whenever I can.
New Hampshire was a
lot of fun.”
Bowman, from Tucson, Arizona, made 71
Cup starts over the 2014
and 2015 seasons with
BK Racing and Tommy
Baldwin Racing. His best
finish came at Daytona in
2014, when he was 13th.
He looked as if he might
have a chance to top that
at New Hampshire, but
his car went into the wall
because of a tire issue, and
he finished 26th. That’s
been his only Cup race of
the year.
“Obviously, we ran a
lot better than we finished,” he said. “I hated
that the race team didn’t
get the finish they deserved. Everybody at
Hendrick Motorsports
and Chevy and everybody, they have been so
welcoming and easy to
work with.”
Bowman
qualified
sixth Friday for this
weekend’s race. He has
never started higher than
14th at the Cup level.
This week, NASCAR
is using its lower-downforce rules package from
races earlier this season
at Michigan and Kentucky. That’s not a huge
deal for Bowman — if
only because he’s hardly
raced on the Cup circuit
this year under any set of
circumstances.
“As far as the downforce package goes — only
running one other Cup
race this year, I wouldn’t
necessarily say I’m used
to it the other way,” said
Bowman, who has made
five starts this year on the
Xfinity circuit.
The University of
Michigan unveiled a
partnership with Axalta Coating Systems in
March. Axalta is a sponsor of Earnhardt’s, and
the plan was for him to
race with the Michigan
paint scheme for this
weekend’s race.
But with Earnhardt still
sidelined, it’s Bowman
who will be in the No. 88.
Bowman said he talked to
Earnhardt on Friday.
“Him and I went back
and forth this morning
on the rules package and
what to expect and just
what he thought the race
car was going to do and
whatnot,” Bowman said.
“As far as going forward,
we haven’t discussed
that at all.”

Flawless Fowler builds up 1-shot lead at Barclays
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
FARMINGDALE, N.Y.
— Rickie Fowler is playing so well that he can’t
stop looking behind instead of considering the
opportunity that lies
ahead at The Barclays.
His wedge to 5 feet for
a birdie on the 18th hole
Saturday not only gave
him a 3-under 68 and a
one-shot lead over Patrick Reed, it was his 45th
consecutive hole without a bogey at Bethpage
Black, one of the strongest golf courses of the
year.
In three rounds, he has
made only one bogey.
That was on the ninth
hole Thursday, a 4-foot
putt that spun hard
around the cup back
at him. And yes, it still
gnaws at him.
“Unfortunately, that
one bogey ... it was
more than a 180-degree lipout,” he said
with a smile. “So it was
basically like going
54 holes, no bogeys.
Around this place, I’m
happy about that. It’s
been very close to hav-
ing the game be where
it is right now.”
The timing could not
be better for Fowler.
He is in solid position
to win for the first time
on the PGA Tour in a
year, and to play his way
onto the U.S. Ryder Cup
team.
This is the final tournament for Americans
to earn one of the eight
automatic spots for the
Ryder Cup matches at
Hazeltine at the end
of next month. Fowler
was at No. 12 going into

Jutanugarn falters late, clings
to 2-shot advantage in Canada
Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. —
Brett Moffitt passed Timothy Peters and William
Byron on the final lap to
win the NASCAR Truck
Series race at Michigan
International Speedway
on Saturday.
Peters was two laps
hole. Scott started out
his round by holing a lob
wedge from 98 yards for
an eagle, and his 65 was
the lowest score of the
tournament.
Scott, who hasn’t seriously contended since his
back-to-back victories in
Florida five months ago,
was two shots behind at
7-under 206.
Martin Laird (69) and
Emiliano Grillo (71) were
three shots back, while
defending champion Jason Day (70) and Justin
Thomas (66) were in the
group four shots back.

South Korea’s In Gee Chun watches her tee shot
on the first hole during the Saturday’s third round
of the LPGA Canadian Open in Priddis, Alberta.
Chun was in second, two shots behind the leader,
after a 66 on Saturday.
Young Kim and Northern Ireland’s Stephanie
Meadow were 12 under.
Kim had a 68, and Meadow — a former Alabama
player — shot 69.
Three-time champion
Lydia Ko was tied for
10th at 10 under, and Canadian star Brooke Henderson was nine strokes
back at 8 under.
Ko had a 70. She has
won the event three of
the last four years, the
first two as an amateur.
The 19-year-old New
Zealander won in 2012
at Vancouver Golf Club
at 15 years, 4 months to
become the LPGA Tour’s
youngest winner and
fifth amateur champion.
She successfully defended her title in 2013,
winning by five strokes
in Edmonton. Last year
back at Vancouver as a
pro, she beat Stacy Lewis
in a playoff.
Henderson shot her
second straight 68 after
opening with a rain-delayed 72.
Henderson beat Ko in
a playoff in June in the
KPMG Women’s PGA
Championship for her
first major title, and successfully defended her
Cambia Portland Classic
title last month.

Reed overcame three
bogeys in a four-hole
stretch on the front nine
and was tied for the lead
on the back nine until the final two holes.
Reed missed a 5-foot
birdie putt on the 17th,
and his 15-foot birdie
putt on the 18th hole almost missed weakly to
the right. He still managed a 71.
Right behind was
Adam Scott, who also
saw his share of putts

PRIDDIS, Alberta —
Ariya Jutanugarn missed
a chance to take a big
lead into the final round
of the Canadian Pacific
Women’s Open, making
two late bogeys Saturday
at Priddis Greens.
A week after withdrawing from the Rio Olympics because of a left
knee injury, the 20-yearold Thai player bogeyed
the par-4 16th and par5 18th for a 5-under 67.
At 17-under 199, she had
a two-stroke advantage
over South Korea’s In
Gee Chun.
Jutanugarn won the
Women’s British Open
in the event before the
Olympics to tie Lydia Ko
for the LPGA Tour victory lead with four. After a
late meltdown in the major ANA Inspiration in
April, Jutanugarn picked
up the nickname “May”
with three straight victories in the month.
Hitting 2-iron and
3-wood off the tee on
the driving holes, Jutanugarn had seven birdies
in an 11-hole stretch Saturday on the tree-lined
layout.
Chun shot a 66.
South Korea’s Sei
event and needed at least
a third-place finish to
earn a spot.
“It’s nice to finally see
some putts go in,” Fowler said. “With a few putts
going in, it frees up the
rest of your game. I’ve
been swinging well for a
long time, and I’ve been
waiting for the putter to
catch up.”
Along with three birdies, he made a pair of 10foot par putts and a 25foot par putt in the third
round.
Fowler was at 9-under
204, and his work was
away from what would
have been his first victory of the season, but
Byron nosed ahead with
a lap to go, and Moffitt
was then able to move to
the outside and take over
the lead.
Moffitt, the Sprint Cup
rookie of the year last
season, was making his
fourth Trucks start this
year in the No. 11 Toyota.
His victory denied Peters
a win that could have solidified a spot in the season-ending Chase.
Peters did finish second,
giving Red Horse Racing a
1-2 showing. Daniel Hemric was third and Byron
finished fourth.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2016
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Take stock of what you have
to do. Personal responsibilities are best cleared up
quickly so you can get on
with the plans that are more
enjoyable.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
You’ll be offered excellent
suggestions that will make
your home life better. Creating a space to work on creative projects will be a good
idea. Emotionally charged
motives will lead to disappointment and regret.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Someone unique will enter
your sphere. Size up what
sort of contributions you can
make and consider what you
have done in the past in order to maximize the possibilities of the future.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): A change will do you
good. Visiting someone you
enjoy spending time with will
spark new ideas for how to
enhance your life. A romantic
gesture will result in future
plans and the desire to make
personal improvements.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Money matters will surface if
you have been too generous.
An investment or joint venture will be based on false
information. It’s best not to
put your trust in anyone but
yourself. Do your own thing
and try to avoid loss.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Doing what you can to bring
worthwhile improvements
to your community, family
or country will enrich you in
more ways than you thought
possible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Stay out of the line of fire.
If you meddle in someone
else’s affairs, you will end up
taking the blame for whatever goes wrong.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Travel, communicating
and sharing with people who
enjoy the same activities as
you will inspire you to make
personal changes that will
enhance your life. Offering
assistance to an organization you believe in will be
enlightening.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Making a change
or promise without taking
time to weigh the pros and
cons will leave you in a vulnerable position. It’s important to take your time and
wait to see what everyone
else does before you commit
to anything.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Good fortune is heading your way. Check out an
intriguing investment oppor-
tunity. Children and family
members will offer support
when you need it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Don’t make an abrupt
change just to appease
someone else. You have to
be able to live with any decisions you make without feeling like you are being taken
advantage of.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Your friendly attitude will
be the difference between
having a good time or not.
Don’t let anger or demands
rise to the surface, ruining
your chance to spend a wonderful day with someone you
love.

Thompson reflects on love and loss in book
BY ALICIA RANCILIO
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Linda
Thompson, who lived
with Elvis Presley and
was married to Bruce
Jenner, has kept the details of her high-profile
relationships
private
over the years.
But Thompson has
learned that if you’re in
the public eye and you
keep quiet, others will
write their version of
what happened. Case in
point: the now fabled
story about Elvis shooting his television.
Thompson says she
has heard others say “I
was there when he shot
the TV set out and Robert Goulet was singing,”
but she was alone with
Presley in his bedroom
when it happened.
She writes about Elvis,
Jenner and her ex-husband, music producer
David Foster, in her new
book, “A Little Thing
Called Life: On Loving Elvis Presley, Bruce
Jenner, and Songs in
Between” (Dey Street
Associated Press
Linda Thompson
speaks during an in ter view in New York.
Thompson, who was
engaged to Elvis Presley and married to
Bruce Jenner and David
Foster, has authored
a book titled “A Little
Thing Called Life.”
Books).
“For so long I just let
people surmise what
they would about my life
and my choices and other people have written
books and told tales,”
she says.
Thompson says Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner,
told her he wanted to
transition to a woman.
“It was nice to exhale
after harboring certainly
Caitlyn’s secret and so
many wonderful stories
about Elvis, but also
so many painful truths
about him as well,” she
says.
Thompson
talked
about her personal relationships, the notion of
celebrity and her sons,
Brandon and Brody
Jenner, in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
Associated Press:
Was it difficult to revisit
your past relationships
when writing this book?
Thompson:
You
know, I call myself out
on my mistakes, but in
telling the truth, sometimes it stings a little
and I wanted to palliate
that with kindness. I had
an admonition to myself, ‘Is it true? Is it necessary? And is it kind?’
So I let that be my dictate in writing the book.
Sometimes the truth is
not always kind but you
can soften it.
‘Dukes of Hazard’ actor discovers
Louisiana home, studio swamped
NEW ORLEANS — Actor, writer and director
John Schneider, known
for his past role on the
“Dukes of Hazzard” and
current role on “The
Haves and the Have
Nots,” thought the first
flood he experienced at
his Louisiana production studio was bad but
says he now knows there
are different levels of
what’s considered “bad.”
Schneider’s Livingston Parish-based studio — which includes
his home, offices, cars,
wardrobe, sound stages,
and more — flooded in
mid-March but the water didn’t get into his
116-year-old home. This
time, he wasn’t as lucky.
Schneider was one
of tens of thousands of
people affected by flooding across southern Louisiana where a deluge of
rain as much as two feet
in some areas sparked
widespread, catastrophic flooding. Thirteen
people died and at least
30,000 people had to
be rescued from their
homes. People across
the state have been
cleaning out their homes
and trying to figure out
where they will get the
money to rebuild.
Schneider said this
time, overflow from
the Tickfaw River this
month inundated all of
his property in Holden,
flooding his home —
which includes his editing and screening rooms
— and another house in
which his mother lives.
“I’ve never experienced anything like
this before,” he said.
“There’s mud. There’s
silt. There’s sand. It’s
everywhere. We used
to have a baseball field
on the property. Now
it’s covered with sand.
I guess we can use it as
beach set now.”
Schneider said his
dogs, who freely roam
the property, survived
the deluge by jumping
onto a picnic table in the
barn. “A friend came in
and got them,” he said.
Most amazing though,
he says, has been the response by people in the
area.
“A friend, I’ll always
be grateful to, came and
put my guitars on top of
tables and stools to save
them,” Schneider said.
Another friend waded
into the house and saved
two films on his computer.
Schneider’s
reflections came as several
friends helped clean out
one of the sound stages
where river debris was
left behind once the water returned to within its
banks.
ANSWER TO TODAY’S PUZZLE
Associated Press
8/28/16
BY CHEVEL JOHNSON
AP: Elvis Presley is
still so iconic. If you hear
one of his songs or see
one of his films on TV,
are you able to separate
your past with him and
see him as the celebrity
he still is?
Thompson: There’s
still a spot in my heart
that’s raw ... and still
stings from that loss.
When I was with Elvis
I used to remind myself
there’s Elvis on the marquee and then there’s
the living, breathing Elvis. There’s a great lesson in that as well in the
way we celebrate people
and we put them on a
pedestal. It’s an impossible way to sustain your
life. I think we do people
a great disservice by put-
ting them on a pedestal
and not allowing them
to be human.
AP: When the world
was speculating about
Jenner’s transition from
Bruce to Caitlyn, you
knew the truth. What
was that like?
Thompson: Strangers would sometimes
come up to me on the
street and say, ‘What’s
going on with Bruce?’
People took a lot of liberty in asking questions.
It was difficult.
AP: So what did you
think when he told you
that he identified as a
woman?
Thompson: As much
as it disrupted my whole
life, I had to feel a great
deal of empathy for her.
That was an internal
battle he had fought
for his whole life. I say
in the book and I tease
Caitlyn sometimes, ‘You
kicked manhood’s butt.
You did that man thing
really well.’
AP: How are your
sons holding up?
Thompson: Brandon and Brody have displayed such remarkable
integrity. I’m astounded
at what good human beings they are. Bruce was
not around a lot when
they were growing up
and they have been able
to look back, understand
now the inner turmoil
he was experiencing and
forgive him, and to embrace Caitlyn as kind of
their new parent.

Metcalfe revels in romance
BY LYNN ELBER
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Jesse Metcalfe is stretching himself artistically
as a musician and, on
the side, as a jewelry designer.
When he proposed
to actress Cara Santana
this month on a sailboat
in New York’s Hudson
River, the diamond ring
he slipped on her finger
was one he helped create. The couple have
been together for a decade.
“Don’t they say it’s
a carat for every year
you’re together?” Metcalfe said. “I couldn’t
quite afford that, but I
think I did pretty well.”
Their
engagement
crowns a busy year for
the “John Tucker Must
Die” and “Dallas” actor. He plays opposite
Meghan Ory in Hallmark
Channel’s new series
“Chesapeake
Shores”
(airing 9 p.m. EDT Sunday through Oct. 9) and
stars in an upcoming
big-screen movie “The
Ninth Passenger” as a
thief involved in corporate espionage.
“Chesapeake Shores,”
based on Sherryl Woods’
novels, opened with
driven working woman
and divorced mom Abby
O’Brien (Ory) pondering
a move from New York
City to her Maryland
hometown to improve
life for her daughters.
Metcalfe brings the romance as Trace, Abby’s
high school sweetheart.
He’s a country singer
who’s beaten his own
path back home after
leaving his Nashville career under a mysterious
cloud.
Metcalfe talked with
The Associated Press
about the drama, including the chance to work
his musical muscles in
it, and when he and Santana will tie the knot.
Associated Press:
Many actors yearn to
front a band. Is playing
a musician the next best
thing?
Metcalfe: At the risk
of sounding cliched, I
have been playing and
singing and writing music for a decade now.
It was just something I
always kept to myself.
... But this is a nice opportunity, and I wrote
two original songs to the
themes and the tone of
the show. It’s not necessarily the style in which I
normally write.
AP: How much does
Trace’s Nashville past
figure in his story?
Metcalfe: I definitely
wanted him to be layered and I wanted him
to have a secret, a dark
past, a reason he came
back to Chesapeake
Shores. In a lot of Hallmark shows and films, a
major theme is coming
back home, having the
realization that success
in the big city isn’t as
satisfying as the comfort you feel back home
(with family). That
theme rings true in this
series as well, but the
characters are a lot more
layered, a lot more complicated. ... Hallmark
said they wanted to push
the envelope a little, attract a younger audience
and do something different, and I think we’ve
done that.
AP: How did you go
about designing the engagement ring?
Metcalfe: I had a
close friend, (jewelry
maker) Adam Campbell,
walk me through the
process. We knew that
Cara wanted an emerald
shape. ... I wanted a really feminine, delicate
low-profile setting and
band with diamonds all
the way around the band
and the basket, and really small prongs holding
the diamond. I enjoyed
it and Cara deserved it.
AP: Has the wedding
date been set?
Metcalfe: Still to
be determined. We’re
roughly talking about a
two-year plan: a year to
enjoy our engagement
and a year to start planning.

Get out of that relationship ... now
Dear Annie: I have
been dating a wonderful woman and have
been intending to ask
her to marry me. We’ve
made plans for the future together, but at
present, I’m recovering
from a horrible motorcycle accident. I won’t
be at 100 percent for a
few months. I asked her
whether that would be
a problem, and she said
no.
Well, it came to my
attention that she has
been sleeping around
with three guys, one of
whom is a nurse who
cares for me. Needless to
say, I was devastated —
not only because I spent
$13,000 on a ring and
building a tiny home for
us but because of the
lies, deceit and unfaithfulness. I am an educated man with a successful
business, and I know the
smart thing to do would
be to walk away. But I
just can’t let go — All
Twisted in Vermont
Dear
Twisted:
You dodged a bullet, friend, and now
you’d better stay
clear of the line of
fire. This woman
cheated on you when
you were down and
out and needed love
the most. You must
be a sweet, forgiving
Dear Annie
person to describe
her as “wonderful,”
and it was probably
this sweetness that
attracted her to you,
like a shark to blood.
You need to get out
of her range. End
things, and then create as much distance
as possible. Return
or sell the ring, and
use the cash for a
vacation. Your heart
needs a safe space to
hide out and heal.
Dear Annie: This week
at the mall when I went
to try on clothes in two
popular retail stores’
women’s
dressing
rooms, there were men
in them.
In the first, a large
middle-aged man sat
alone on a chair inside
the entranceway, talking on his phone. As
I walked toward the
dressing rooms, he
sneered at me, so I left
and looked for another
dressing area.
At the next dressing
area, there was a man
blocking the entranceway while his girlfriend
tried on clothes. She
couldn’t even try on a Tshirt without his evaluation. I tried to enter, but
he’d step in ahead of me
and go between his girlfriend’s room and the
two empty rooms, pretending to get a better
view but intentionally
blocking all entrances.
At the next store, a tall
man blocked the rooms
while his girlfriend tried
on clothes, leaving her
door open while she
changed.
He reluctantly stepped
aside for me to go to the
second room, with both
of them making disgusted sounds toward me for
interrupting their experience. Immediately,
I could see him glancing over my door, so I
grabbed my stuff and
hurried out.
These days, these
stores are so thinly
staffed there’s never
anyone monitoring the
dressing rooms. With
the prices they charge,
I should be able to disrobe in a women’s dressing room without fear of
assault, intimidation or
exposure to men. What
legal obligations do
these stores have to provide a safe and private
female area for disrobing? — Done Shopping
Dear Done: I have a
feeling this was more
of a venting session
than an actual question, but here goes.
According to my research, there are no
legal requirements
for clothing stores
to provide dressing rooms; it’s just
in stores’ best interest to have them. It
would also be in their
best interest to make
sure ladies’ dressing
rooms aren’t full of
“sneering” men, so
I’m a little incredulous that in a single
afternoon, you could
encounter three separate men in three
separate
dressing
rooms who were out
to ruin your day.
If
someone
is
changing with the
door open or if a man
is alone in the women’s dressing room
and seems threatening to you, let a sales
associate know. You
say they’re scarcer
these days, but until
the machines take
over and everything
is fully automated,
there are live employees in the store
somewhere,
and
they will help you.

LOS ANGELES —
The composer for
“Game of Thrones” is
swapping the swordfilled realm of Westeros for the monsterplagued world of Sera.
Emmy- and Grammy-nominated Ramin
Djawadi has crafted
the score for “Gears of
War 4,” the forthcoming fifth installment in
the action-shooter series for Xbox One and
PC. The prolific film
and TV composer says
he put his own spin on
the game’s soundtrack
while remaining faithful to the nearly decade-old “Gears” series.
“Obviously, I wanted to make it very different from ‘Game of
Thrones,’” said Djawadi. “Whenever I approach a new project,
I want to make sure
I’m setting up a new
sound — even through
we’re still using a lot of
orchestra and percussion.”
Djawadi described
the score, which was
recorded at Sony Pictures Studios, as emotional and orchestral
with synth elements.
He said the music
will also feature a few
unique acoustic instruments he’s collected in his travels.
“There are some really nice scenes that
are probably unexpected for ‘Gears,’
where we’re really pushing the emotional undertones with strings,”
he said.
Djawadi actually returned to his roots in the
interactive industry with
his “Gears of War 4” assignment. He originally
started creating music
in the 1990s as a sound
technician at “System
Shock” and “Thief” developer Looking Glass
Studios.
“I remember back in
the day there was never
enough space on the disc
to include full orchestral
sound,” said Djawadi.
“Nowadays, it’s almost
limitless. It’s amazing
to be able to include a
great, full soundtrack.”
The game, out Oct.
11, is set 25 years after
“Gears of War 3” and
centers on the son of
“Gears” series protagonists Marcus Fenix and
Anya Stroud.

Some walk-ons catch it, most just quit trying
BY ERIC OLSON
Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Finally, Brad Simpson can
call himself a scholarship player at a big-time
football school. It’s taken
him four years, and he’s
run up student-loan debt
into the tens of thousands of dollars. With
one season to play, he
says his walk-on experience at Nebraska has
been worth every penny.
Derek Foster also
walked on at Nebraska.
He never earned a scholarship. In fact, he never
played a down in his five
years. He says he, too,
got his money’s worth.
With the start of classes across the country,
freshman walk-on players are hitting practice
fields to round out rosters and chase dreams. A
lot of them turned down
scholarships from lowerdivision schools and are
challenging themselves
to see if they can hack it
in Division I. Their hopes
are to become significant
contributors and get a
scholarship.
The reality is that most
will transfer or quit. In
fact, 15 of the 20 walkons who entered Nebraska with Foster in
2010 did just that. Foster
never considered it.
“I’m a small-town
kid who grew up in Nebraska. There was one
team I watched, and
one team only, and that
was the Huskers,” said
Foster, who’s from Elm
Creek, population 934,
and graduated in 2014.
“To have the opportunity
to walk through the tunnel and step on the field
was a win in itself there.
People always ask if I regret it that I didn’t play
a single down when I
could have gone to a D-II
school, had a scholarship
and started right way.
The answer: I don’t have
a single regret.”
Walk-ons
always
have been part of college football. Nebraska
was among the first programs to make a point
of seeking out prospects
who might not be talented enough to merit
a scholarship but could
help the team.
Nebraska’s
rosters
regularly numbered 175200 into the early 2000s.
Stricter enforcement of
Title IX, which requires
equitable opportunities
for male and female athletes, has led to a reduction in squad sizes. The
Huskers now cap their
roster at about 140, with
85 of them being scholarship players. That means
Nebraska must be more
selective when it comes
to walk-ons.
Except for having to
pay for tuition, room
and board, walk-ons
are treated the same
as scholarship players.
They’re given the costof-attendance stipend, a
laptop and Adidas gear,
and they have access to
the academic support
and life skills programs.
Still, from 2008 to 2015,
80 of the 153 walk-ons (53
percent) left before completing their eligibility.
But 2012 brought one of
the best walk-on classes
in program history, with
10 of the 22 earning scholarships, and at least three
will be starters this season.
Director of high school
relations Kenny Wilhite
estimated 85 percent
of Nebraska walk-ons
had scholarship offers
from lower-division programs. Walk-ons from
in-state will pay about
$20,000 this year for
tuition, room and board;
for out-of-state walk-ons
it’s about $35,000.
Simpson, from the
Omaha suburb of Ralston,
said he had to think long
and hard about saying no
to offers of partial scholarships from Division II
Nebraska-Kearney and
Northwest Missouri State
and saying yes to the
walk-on opportunity presented by the former Nebraska staff.
The son of an office worker and retired
electrician,
Simpson
estimated his studentloan debt at $80,000 to
$90,000.
“Every time the email
comes, I don’t look at
it,” Simpson said of his
loan statements. “It’s all
an investment. If I ever
think about the money, I
just say put in your time,
put in your money and it
will all pay off — the education, the experience,
the connections.”
Simpson, part of that
stellar 2012 walk-on

class, worked 40 hours a
week at an Omaha supermarket the summer following his senior year of
high school. Meanwhile,
the incoming scholarship players spent that
summer on campus
training with the returning players and adjusting
to campus.
Simpson said it was intimidating being around
the scholarship players
at first, but he never felt
looked-down upon.
A linebacker, he spent
his first year playing on
the scout team and has
become a key member
of special teams the last
three years.
Ohio State develops messages, images to motivate players
BY MITCH STACY
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
With all the fervor of a
Baptist preacher, Ohio
State defensive line coach
Larry Johnson paces in
front of the players and
delivers a passionate explanation of “The Edge,”
the program’s latest motivational mantra.
“To be elite, you’ve got
to take a free fall, but
you can’t be afraid to go
to the edge!” Johnson
booms in a speech that
made the rounds on social media. “Coach says
‘jump!’ and you say ‘how
far, coach, where do you
want me to go?’ Every
guy’s got a chance to do
that today. If you’re elite,
grab somebody today,
take ‘em with you!”
Looming over that
scene at the Buckeyes’
indoor practice facility, a
huge video screen runs a
loop of a snarling wolf, an
image that’s supposed to
remind players to stay on
the attack. Be the aggressor or the victim. That was
the overriding theme during spring practice.
These are among Ohio
State’s latest tactics to
motivate millennial players in an age of social
media, digital flash and
diminished
attention
spans. They are easy-toremember
buzzwords
and catchphrases, with
bold imagery accompanied by hype videos usually set to hip-hop music.
Last season it was “The
Grind.” The year before,
when Ohio State ended
up winning the national
championship, it was
“The Chase.”
“We have to think like
an 18-year-old and that’s
the challenge for our
staff all the time,” coach
Urban Meyer said. “I’m
not trying to appeal to
the 52-year-old assistant
coach. The 18-year-old
who has to go do his job,
who has to go do very uncomfortable things, we
have to appeal to them.”
Meyer develops the
messages with a group
that includes performance coach Mickey
Marotti and Tim Kight,
a pastor-turned-leadership development consultant who the coach
hired several years ago to
help refine the program’s
message and impart it on
coaches and players.
“It’s not one of those
things, ‘hey, let’s try
this,’” said Meyer, who is
50-4 in his four seasons
at Ohio State. “They’re
extremely well thought
out. How do we get that
human spirit, how do we
solve that mystery of getting them to go as hard
as they can?”
No. 9 Tennessee’s veteran Come be cool with us!
roster allows Jones to adapt
BY STEVE MEGARGEE
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —
Tennessee coach Butch
Jones has a different
kind of team this season.
According to some
players, that’s allowing
him to be a different type
of coach.
Jones spent the first
few years of his Tennessee tenure attempting to
restock the talent base
and instill a winning culture. He’s handled those
assignments well enough
to give No. 9 Tennessee
its highest preseason
ranking since 2005
heading into Thursday’s
opener against Appalachian State.
“I think he’s a lot more
laid-back,” senior linebacker Jalen ReevesMaybin said. “I don’t
feel like he’s trying to
truly build a program
anymore. We’ve kind of
set our standards and
established who we are,
and now we’re just trying
to mold people into who
we are. I think it’s made
it a lot easier and allowed
him to lay back a little bit
more and put a lot more
faith in the (assistant)
coaches as well as the
players.”
Jones initially said he
hadn’t thought much
about the ways in which
he has adapted his style
since his arrival at Tennessee. But he later acknowledged the maturity
of this roster and how
it has impacted his approach.
“What’s helped is I
think our coaches and
myself know our football team a little more,”
Associated Press
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones applauds his
team after they scored during the second half of
an Oct. 31 game against Kentucky in Lexington.
Jones said. “Growing
up as a son of a chief of
police, I’ve been interested in studying human
behavior all my life, so I
love to get in their mindsets. I love to see what
this football team needs,
and I take great pride in
that.
“But I think you’re
constantly evolving. If
you don’t, that’s when
you stop growing.”
Jones was Tennessee’s
fourth coach in eight seasons when he took over
in 2013. Tennessee went
6-7 in Jones’ debut year
for its fourth straight
losing season. After going 7-6 in 2014, the Vols
finished 9-4 last year and
closed with a six-game
winning streak.
“I think he had to be
tough when he first got
here,” said offensive
tackle Brett Kendrick, a
fourth-year junior. “We
needed to play his style
of play, and we didn’t
have that when he first
got here. I feel like we’ve
really adjusted to him,
and he’s also starting to
treat us really good too.
He’s being more positive
with us.”
He has more reason to
be positive now.
Jones noted that Tennessee played the most
true freshmen in 2014 of
any Football Bowl Subdivision program that
season. Jones needed to
make sure they were as
ready as possible for the
grind of the Southeastern Conference.
“The hardest thing
when you take over a
football program is you
have to make sure that
you lay that standard of
expectations day in and
day out, and you do not
compromise from those
standards and expectations,” Jones said. “The
culture has to be set in
place. Sometimes you’re
going to be a little bit different the first couple of
years because you have
to make sure there are
some things that are
non-negotiables in our
football program.”

Illinois puts its faith on Smith’s NFL approach
BY DAVID MERCER
Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. —
Since he was hired at Illinois in March, football
coach Lovie Smith’s calendar has been full.
He’s been busy coaching, recruiting and, every
chance he gets, preaching the power of possibility to a team and fan base
hungry for wins after
years of mediocrity on
the field and turmoil off
of it.
Smith insists that, so
far, it has not been much
different than what he
grew accustomed to as
coach of the Chicago
Bears and Tampa Bay
Buccaneers.
But a coach’s path to
college from the NFL
isn’t always straightforward. Some who have
made that move say
coaching college teams
is like being a general
manager, with a hand in
every aspect of the program. Coaching pro football, they say, is almost
purely football.
“So it’s almost like a
college coach taking a
sabbatical and just dealing with football rather
than fundraising and recruiting and discipline,”
says Rich Brooks, who
went from the top job at
Oregon to coaching the
St. Louis Rams in 1995
before eventually taking
over at Kentucky.
While
big-name
coaches such as Nick
Saban and Pete Carroll
who have moved from
the NFL to university
campuses have set the
standard for winning in
college, pro experience is
relatively rare. And while
coaches with experience
as NFL coaches tend
to win in college, many
of those who have only

First-year Illinois coach Lovie Smith talks with
player Chris James during an April 26 practice
in Champaign, Ill. Smith brings decades of NFL
experience that both fans and players see as an
upgrade and potential starting point for resurrecting the program.
been pro assistants do
not.
Smith is one of six
head coaches at the 128
Football Bowl Subdivision schools who have
been in charge of NFL
teams, along with Alabama’s Saban, Jim Mora
at UCLA, Bobby Petrino
at Louisville, and Smith’s
fellow Big Ten coaches
Jim Harbaugh at Michigan and Mike Riley at
Nebraska. Their combined college record is
466-226-1, a 67 percent
winning percentage.
Another 18 FBS coaches have been NFL assistants. They have won 54
percent of their college
games. But take away
Kirk Ferentz at Iowa, David Shaw at Stanford and
LSU’s Les Miles, and that
drops to 46 percent.
Smith took over after
Illinois fired two coaches
in less than a year. Tim
Beckman, who was fired
a week before the 2015
season started after an
investigation concluded
he interfered in player
medical decisions, and
his replacement, Bill
Cubit, was let go when
Smith came to the Illini.
Hiring Smith, who
took the Bears to a Super Bowl in 2007, was a
bid to score big after four
straight losing seasons
and the embarrassing
collapse of the Beckman
era.
Smith insists that, recruiting aside, what he
is doing so far is not significantly different than
what he did during his
11 seasons as an NFL
coach. That includes an
emphasis on creating
turnovers that Bears fans
would recognize. It also
means Smith, just as in
his pro days, never yells
or screams.
“Not even once,” quarterback Wes Lunt said.
“But when he does raise
his voice just a little bit
over just talking, it’s
powerful.”
On the practice field,
Smith appears comfortable delegating most of
the communicating to
his coordinators and position coaches. He stands
back, watching, sometimes at a distance, and
only occasionally coming
in close to address something he’s seen.
“I’ve run a lot of NFL
practices, and this is
no different from that,”
Smith said. “So I think
that’s kind of appealing
to them, too.”
Part of that appeal is
who Smith draws to campus: more NFL scouts
and former players such
as longtime Bears cornerback Charles Tillman.
But Smith has also
filled his agenda with
tasks it is difficult to picture some NFL coaches
(think Bill Belichick)
handling.
He welcomed the incoming freshman class,
6,000 students, on a
warm August night at
Memorial Stadium, and
has posed smiling with
countless fans at events
on campus and elsewhere.
This is where a program like Illinois, long
losing more games than
it wins, might need more
than an NFL coach is required to provide.
Brooks
emphasizes
that NFL players are in
every way pros: they’re
paid; if they break rules
they’re fined or cut; and
they generally aren’t
looking for fatherly direction.
College coaches, Nebraska’s Riley says, have
to want to play that last
role, one Smith says is
Professional upgrades
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — When Illinois hired Lovie
Smith this spring he became just the sixth current coach at the 128 Football Bowl Subdivision
schools to also have been in charge of an NFL
team. Some facts and figures about the relatively rare major college coaches who have NFL
coaching experience.
• There are only two dozen current Football
Bowl Subdivision head coaches with experience
on an NFL staff of any kind. That’s less than 19
percent of the 128 FBS head coaches.
• NFL experience appears to improve the
odds for minority coaches to take over at major
colleges. Including Smith, five of the 24 head
coaches with pro experience, 21 percent, are
minorities (all are black). Among those 128 FBC

titles, is the gold standard among college
coaches. But his two years leading the Miami
Dolphins ended with a 15-17 record. Saban, in a
2015 interview with the Golf Channel, explained
why college football is a better fit for him.
“I like college football better because being
a good recruiter, you create an advantage for
yourself because you can recruit as many good
players as you can get to come, and you’re not
restricted by free agency or salary cap or draft
picks and all that type of stuff.”
• When Steve Spurrier made the move from
perennial national title contender at Florida
to NFL coach in Washington in 2002, much

He played golf during the season, unheard of
among his new pro colleagues, and he didn’t
sleep in his office.
Spurrier went 12-20 in two seasons, then
walked away before heading back to college
football at South Carolina. He retired last year.
• Among current FBS head coaches with

n a way, the 2016 college football season will start where
last season left off. Alabama is No. 1 and Clemson is No. 2.
The defending national champion Crimson Tide sits atop
The Associated Press preseason Top 25, having received 33
first-place votes from the media panel. Alabama is No. 1 to
start the season for the fifth time in the history of the AP poll
and third time under coach Nick Saban. The Tide has won
four national championships in the last seven seasons, but
none when it started top-ranked.
The last preseason No. 1 to win the national championship
was Southern California in 2004.
Clemson, which lost a thrilling national title game to the
Tide, has its best-ever preseason ranking at No. 2. Heisman
Trophy contender Deshaun Watson and the Tigers received
16 first-place votes.
No. 3 Oklahoma received four first-place votes and No. 4
Florida State has five. No. 5 LSU, No. 6 Ohio State and No. 7
Michigan all received one first-place vote.
No. 1 Alabama
Conference: SEC
2015 record: 14-1
2015 finish: No. 1
Games to watch: USC at Arlington,
Texas, Sept. 3; @ Mississippi, Sept. 17;
@ Tennessee, Oct. 15; @ LSU, Nov. 5.
Outlook: Saban's team heads into the
season searching for a quarterback,
but no need to fret. Three times
Alabama has won a national title with
a first-year starter. Whoever starts
will have one of the best receivers in
the country in Calvin Ridley. The
defense reloads around pass rushers
Tim Williams and Jonathan Allen. A
brutal road schedule is Alabama's
biggest obstacle to a third straight
SEC title — something that hasn't
been done since Florida did it 20 years
ago — and third straight College
Football Playoff appearance.
No. 18 Georgia
Conference: SEC
2015 record: 10-3
2015 finish: Unranked.
Games to watch: North
Carolina, Sept. 3; @
Mississippi, Sept. 24;

2015 record: 14-1
2015 finish: No. 2
Games to watch: @ Auburn, Sept. 3; vs.
Louisville, Oct. 1; @ Florida State, Oct.
29.
Outlook: QB Deshaun Watson enters
the season as the Heisman front-runner, leading an experienced and
explosive offense that welcomes back
star WR Mike Williams, who missed
almost all of 2015 with a neck injury.
The defense will need some retooling
in the secondary, but another playoff
appearance for coach Dabo Swinney’s
team could come down to that road
game against division rival Florida
State.
No. 4 Florida State
Conference: ACC
2015 record: 10-3
2015 finish: No. 14.
Games to watch: Mississippi in
Orlando, Fla., Sept. 5; @ Louisville,
Sept. 17; Clemson, Oct. 29; Florida,
Nov. 26.
Outlook: Coach Jimbo Fisher is
banking on redshirt freshman QB
Deondre Francois to lead an offense
that has every other starter back,
including Heisman contender Dalvin
Cook at running back. DB Derwin
James heads into his sophomore
season already as one of the best
defensive players in the country. Top
to bottom, the 'Noles might have the
most talented roster in the ACC.
No. 3 Oklahoma
Conference: Big 12
2015 record: 11-2
2015 finish: No. 5
Games to watch: Houston, Sept. 3;
Ohio State, Sept. 17; @ TCU, Oct. 1;
Oklahoma State, Dec. 3.
Outlook: Heisman contender Baker
Mayfield leads a loaded backfield
with running backs Samaje Perine
and Joe Mixon. DE Charles Walker will
have to pick up the pass rush after the
Sooners lost their top two sackers.
Coach Bob Stoops' team faces as
tough a first four games of the season
as any in the country, with three
opponents ranked in the top 15.
Nick Saban has led
Alabama to four national
championships in the
last seven years.
No. 5 LSU
Conference: SEC
2015 record: 9-3.
2015 finish: No. 16.
Games to watch: Wisconsin
at Green Bay, Wis., Sept. 3; @
Florida, Oct. 8; Mississippi, Oct. 22;
Alabama, Nov. 5.
Outlook: Leonard Fournette could be
the best of a deep crop of talented
running backs throughout college
football this season. QB Brandon
Harris just needs to provide some
balance to the Tigers' offense. The
defense sports maybe the best
secondary in the country, led by CB
Tre'Davious White and S Jamal
Adams. LSU hasn't won the SEC or
beaten Alabama since 2011. The
pressure is on coach Les Miles to snap
those streaks after he was nearly
ousted last year.
No. 19 Louisville

What a pass rush: Garrett, top SEC QB chasers back for more
BY JOHN ZENOR
Associated Press
Southeastern Conference quarterbacks take
plenty of heat off the
field, and this year will
probably take even more
on it.
The league is loaded
with star pass rushers,
some of them highly rated NFL prospects, even
if the SEC is short on established passers.
The SEC’s top 10 pass
sack leaders return. Texas A&M defensive end
Myles Garrett, Alabama
linebacker Tim Williams
and defensive end Jonathan Allen, Tennessee
end Derek Barnett and
Mississippi end Marquis
Haynes all are back after
reaching double digits in
sacks last season.
That surplus of talented, hard-to-block edge
rushers is nothing new
considering the SEC has
had 36 defensive linemen or linebackers selected in the first round
of the NFL draft over
the past decade, many of
them outside linebackers
and ends.
So maybe Williams,
Alabama’s quarterbackharassing outside linebacker, can follow Von
Miller, the No. 2 overall
pick in 2011. Perhaps
Texas A&M’s Garrett
can at least come close
to Jadeveon Clowney’s
status as the top pick two
years ago.
“If you can do it in
the SEC, you can do it
anywhere,” said Charles
Harris, Missouri’s latest
in a line of stellar pass
rushers. “That’s how I
feel.”
Of the five sack leaders
all but Williams ranked
among the nation’s top
20 in sacks per game,
and he was a specialist on
a deep front seven who
played limited snaps.
“Only played on third
down,” Crimson Tide
coach Nick Saban said.
“Never had another role
on the team.”
OK, few teams have
that luxury. But Williams, whose role is expected to increase significantly, and Allen both
opted to return for their
senior seasons instead of
entering the draft.
At least seven SEC
ends and outside linebackers have already
been listed as potential
first-round picks according to various mock
drafts, with Barnett and
Garrett pegged as candidates for the Top 10.
“We’ve got a bunch of
good d-linemen in this
conference — a lot,” said
Barnett.
Here’s a look at some of
the SEC’s top pass rushers:
•
The
6-foot-5,
255-pound Garrett has
racked up 24 sacks and
33.5 tackles for loss in his
first two years and was a
finalist for the Lombardi
and Hendricks awards.
He plays opposite Daeshon Hall, who’s even
bigger and had seven
sacks.
“We’ve got two of the
best defensive ends in the
country in Myles Garrett
and Daeshon Hall,” Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin
said at SEC media days.
Garrett said they create openings for each
other. “He’s just as effective as me,” he said.
• With Allen and Williams, Alabama also
has a formidable pass
rushing duo. The 6-3,
291-pound Allen had 12
sacks last season, with 11
coming against ranked
teams. “He plays like a
bullet,” Tide safety Eddie
Jackson said.
Williams had 10.5
sacks on just 148 pass
rushing snaps, according to Pro Football Focus, which said he had an
average of one pressure
per 2.8 pass rushing attempts. Ohio State’s Joey
Bosa, the third overall
draft pick, averaged one
pressure for every 4.9 attempts, PFF said.
• Barnett’s 20 sacks
through two seasons
is just 12 shy of Reggie
White’s Tennessee record set from 1980-83.
He had nine sacks in the
last eight games in 2015.
“He’s a savage when he’s
out on the field,” Volunteers defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said.
• Ole Miss’s Haynes
tied the school record
as a sophomore with 10
sacks and has 17.5 in his
first two seasons.
• Missouri’s Harris led
the SEC in tackles for
loss per game, racking
up 18.5 in 12 outings. He
follows in a line of pass
rushing ends like 2015
first-rounder Shane Ray.
