ATLANTA -- The score made it appear No. Patrick Marleau Sharks Jersey . 15 Florida was outclassed in its SEC championship game against top-ranked Alabama.Gators cornerback Teez Tabor insists that wasnt the case. He was convinced Saturdays ugly 54-16 loss would have been different if not for three first-half interceptions.No question, Tabor said without hesitating. Its a 17-point difference at the half. Its a tie ballgame.Instead, the three interceptions thrown by Austin Appleby played a big role in Alabama leading 33-16 at halftime.After the game, Florida coach Jim McElwain said developing a quarterback would be a top priority. Appleby, a graduate transfer from Purdue, completes his eligibility this season, and the search for his replacement could begin with bowl practice.Thats something weve got to do and weve got to make sure it happens sooner than later, McElwain said. Thats my responsibility, and it will get done.It was the second straight lopsided loss for Florida, following a 31-13 loss to Florida State to close the regular season. McElwain said it will be crucial to end that streak in the bowl game.The loss hurts Floridas chances to land in the Sugar Bowl. The Gators other bowl options include the Outback and Citrus.One thing I do know, weve got to go to win this bowl game wherever we do end up, he said. Were going to put a plan together and get the players out there to go play that and go win a game.Florida (8-4, No. 15 CFP) grabbed the early momentum against Alabama with a 10-play touchdown drive to open the game. Applebys 5-yard scoring pass to Antonio Callaway was the first touchdown given up by the Crimson Tide (13-0, No. 1 CFP) in more than 17 quarters.Then came the mistakes, which were far too much to overcome against Alabama. The 54 points are most allowed by Florida since 62-24 loss to Nebraska in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl.When youre playing a team like that, now the pass rush heats up, Appleby said. Now the offense is going to milk the clock.When youre playing catch-up like that, it doesnt matter who you are. You can be Tom Brady. Its hard. Its hard.McElwain, Alabamas former offensive coordinator, said this may be the Crimson Tides best team.I think this is the best 85 that theyve probably traveled with to the SEC championship game, he said. I mean, thats a real ball squad.Appleby said he was hit when throwing on his first interception and the second was a miscommunication between the receiver and I. He said the third was a 50-50 ball where Alabamas Tony Brown took the pass from Florida receiver Ahmad Fulwood.That was the matchup we wanted, Appleby said.Florida had a chance to narrow the deficit when it moved to a first down at the Alabama 2 on its opening possession of the second half. The Gators came away from the possession with no points when tight end DeAndre Goolsby came down outside the end zone on a fourth-down pass.McElwain acknowledged that kicking a field goal would get it to a two-score game.But at that point, I felt momentum-wise, we could bang one of them in there, he said.Settling for a field goal also might have helped keep the game from turning into a rout.I will tell you this: I didnt come here to be close, McElwain said. We came here to be champions of the SEC. Thats what you do when youre at the University of Florida, and thats the expectation, and I understand that.---For more AP college football coverage: www.collegefootball.ap.org Marc-Edouard Vlasic Sharks Jersey . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. Mikkel Boedker Jersey .

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The New York Jets are coming to town for an AFC East showdown Thursday night, and Rex Ryan was in no mood to reflect on old grudges.Whatever raw emotions the Bills coach felt toward his former team during his first season in Buffalo last year have dissipated with time.Last year, I thought it was different because I was going back to New York, it seemed like bigger, said Ryan, who memorably punched the air in delight and yelled a profanity following Buffalos 22-17 win in his first return to the Meadowlands in November. This is just a football game now, and I think thats kind of how everybody views it.Aside from a few offhand remarks regarding the success of his fantasy baseball team, and a shoutout to his son, Seth, to earn more playing time at Clemson, Ryan was all business this week, and for good reason.He has far more pressing concerns facing a short week of practice and questions about an offense that sputtered in a season-opening 13-7 loss at Baltimore, and could be missing two key starters to injury. Receiver Sammy Watkins is questionable because of soreness is his surgically repaired left foot, and starting left tackle Cordy Glenn (ankle) is out.Thats worrisome for a Tyrod Taylor-led attack that managed just 160 yards offense on Sunday.Theres also the added weight of pressure Ryan is bearing following a year in which the Bills played below expectations, finishing 8-8 and missing the playoffs for a 16th consecutive year.In seven previous seasons as a head coach, Ryan has never opened a season 0-2.Gosh, he said, when reminded of that statistic, I hope that trend continues.Theres a similar sense of urgency for the Jets, who gave up a go-ahead field goal in the final minute of a 23-22 loss to Cincinnati. Now the Jets make the trip to where their playoff hopes ended with a season-ending 22-17 loss to the Bills in January.The memory stings especially for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who closed the game by throwing three consecutive interceptions.That was a tough one for me to get over, said Fitzpatrick, who went 20-33 as a Bills starter from 2009-2012. But you tend to find a way to move on, and this is a new year.The Jets return mostly intact on offense and improved their ground attack with the offseason addition of running back Matt Forte. New Yorks defensive line is one oof the NFLs most disruptive, and was in on six of seven sacks last weekend. Joe Thornton Sharks Jersey. Some things to look out for as the Jets seek to snap a five-game skid against Buffalo:REVIS ISLAND EXPOSED?: Concerns were raised whether Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has lost a step after Bengals receiver A.J. Green had 12 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown last weekend. Coach Todd Bowles said hes not lost any sleep over it, and Revis says he has a short memory.Its not like Ive never had a ball caught off me, Revis said. You bounce back and thats why we play week to week.WATKINS LIMPING: Revis might have an easier time defending Watkins, who had 11 catches for 136 yards in last seasons finale.Though Watkins says hes definitely playing, he complained this week of experiencing discomfort in his left foot, which was surgically repaired in April. Watkins had a team-best 43 yards receiving against the Ravens, and spent this week trying out a new, wider set of cleats to ease the pain.NO OFFENSE: The Bills were kept in check by the Ravens, who forced five three-and-outs and limited Taylor to 48 snaps. Taylor attempted one pass beyond 20 yards and was held to 11 yards rushing, a year after setting the franchise record for quarterbacks with 568 yards rushing.The 160 yards offense were the fewest by the Bills in a decade, and came a year after Buffalo led the league in rushing and scored 24 touchdowns of 20 yards or longer.SACK ATTACK: Ryan refers to the Jets defensive front as one of the most formidable in the NFL, and the line will welcome back Sheldon Richardson, who returns from a one-game suspension. The seven sacks against Cincinnati were the most since 2013, when the Ryan-coached team had eight against Buffalo. The Bills got four sacks a year after failing to get more than two in one game.HONORING BRUCE: The Bills will retire NFL career sacks leader and Hall of Famer Bruce Smiths No. 78 during a halftime ceremony.The game also features the regular-season debut of New Era Field after the Bills signed an agreement with Buffalo-based New Era Cap Co., to replace the previous name of Ralph Wilson Stadium.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
