ALLEN PARK, Mich.
Cheap Penguins Jerseys Authentic . -- In the
first quarter, Andre Roberts fumbled deep in his territory -- pretty much the
worst thing a punt returner can do.He made up for that mistake almost
immediately.The next time Roberts handled a punt Sunday, he took it back 55
yards for a touchdown, and the Detroit Lions went on to a 26-19 victory over the
Jacksonville Jaguars.It was one of a few impressive plays in the game by
Roberts, who in his first season with Detroit has already returned two punts for
TDs.He really stepped up huge, teammate Eric Ebron said Sunday. We all make
mistakes. Were all human and he knew what he did. He pretty much just told us,
`You know I got yall, and put the team on his back on that punt return and made
a heck of a play.Roberts later added a 44-yard reception and hustled over to
block on a long catch-and-run by Ebron. On a day when Detroit sputtered
offensively for the most part, Roberts was crucial.Jacksonville kicked a field
goal after the fumble by Roberts and took a 3-0 lead. In the second quarter,
after fielding a punt at his 45, Roberts started to his right before immediately
reversing direction and going left.A couple of Jaguars missed him, and when he
started running forward, there was open field in front of him .Roberts lifted
his left arm slightly before catching the punt, and he said afterward he thought
about a fair catch, but he said he was 100 percent sure he didnt signal for
one.It was a middle return and there were a couple guys coming down, Roberts
said. It was pretty good hang time, but once again our guys did a great job
blocking, and we know that were going to have limited opportunities, but we make
the most of it.Roberts returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown in a loss to
Chicago earlier this season. Hes the fourth player in team history with at least
two punt return touchdowns in a season, the first since Eddie Drummond in
2005.Roberts also became the first Lions player since the 1970 merger with a
punt return of at least 50 yards and a reception of at least 40 yards in the
same game.Hell try to build on that performance when the Lions host Minnesota on
Thanksgiving.Drafted in the third round by Arizona in 2010, Roberts had a
productive four seasons with the Cardinals. He caught 64 passes for 759 yards in
2012, but his receiving numbers have steadily declined since then.Roberts signed
a $16 million, four-year deal with Washington during the 2014 offseason, but he
started only four games in two seasons there and was released this past May.So
far with Detroit, he has seven catches for 120 yards and a touchdown, and coach
Jim Caldwell said Monday the team will keep trying to get him involved.Two games
ago, Roberts caught a 27-yard pass against Minnesota that set up a long field
goal that sent the game to overtime. The Lions eventually won.I think youve seen
that his opportunities have gone up a little bit and hes done some good things
for us when hes been in there, made some nice catches for us, Caldwell
said.Obviously a big one against Minnesota a couple weeks ago and there were a
number of different things that hes done well for us. ... So youve seen his role
increased a little bit already.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org

Jerseys China .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer
reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third
on the depth chart at punt returner.
http://www.cheappenguinsjerseys.com/ . With
their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers
signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against
Minnesota. It was well past midnight in Bristol, Tennessee. The confetti was
still falling, the fireworks were still popping, ears were still ringing, and
the postgame traffic was only beginning the first leg of its long, snaking
journey into the Smoky Mountains night.Im sure Marcus Smith, president and chief
operating officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc. (the owner of Bristol Motor
Speedway), was soaking in the moment. The Battle at Bristol between Tennessee
and Virginia Tech by all measures had been a successful venture. The game had
delivered on its promise to attract the largest crowd in college football
history, drawing 156,990. Im sure Smith was quietly reflecting on how, a full
two decades after his father, NASCAR Hall of Fame member Bruton Smith, had first
reached out to the two schools with the idea (not to mention $1 million checks),
the dream of the game had finally been realized. Im sure it was a great moment
that Marcus was having, fully immersed in the magical glow of the here and
now.But hey, he was just standing there and Ive known the dude forever, so I
asked the question anyway. Is there going to be a Battle at Bristol 2?Well see,
Smith, 43, said with a smile. Theres a lot of debriefing to do with a lot of
people. But I certainly do think theres interest.Theres no doubt about that.
Zigzagging between in-game and postgame chats with everyone from ESPN executives
to ACC/SEC reps to the family behind the games title sponsor, the Haslams, there
was not a frown to be found. I think this was the perfect storm, said Big Jim,
company founder and an offensive lineman on Tennessees 1951 national title team
coached by Robert Neyland. These two teams from these two states at this place,
thats hard to beat.Yes, it is. And that might be the problem.While Butch Jones
stood alongside the games fittingly over-the-top trophy, he said, This
experience ... itll never be replicated. Itll never be duplicated.A few minutes
later, the Tennessee coach clarified his comments. Jones said he was speaking of
the thrill of what he believed would be deemed an inaugural event. The trick
will be recreating that inaugural thrill.It was always going to be these two
teams, said just-retired Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer. He beamed while
sitting on a golf cart shortly after being recognized to the thunderous applause
of Hokies fans. When the schools were first approached by the racetrack, Beamer,
a NASCAR fan, was immediately on board. But Tennessee required more convincing.
Theres no better way to get this area energized than these two teams, Beamer
said. So, do you make this an annual rivalry? You certainly could. But I also
bet other schools watching this tonight are probably thinking, man, wed like to
get in on that.But who else would be as perfect as the marquee programs of the
two states that literally split the host town of Bristol in half? Would Alabama
fans travel to Thunder Valley, USA, for a game against, say, Clemson? Would Ohio
State loyalists come south to see the Buckeyes take on, perhaps, Georgia?A big
chunk of those visitors are gonna need to camp out. With Vols and Hokies fans,
all of the above was a given.The Battle certainly wasnt without its issues. The
crush to cram all of those people through the racetracks gates was downright
scary at times. But NASCAR crowds typically arrive in more of a daylong stream,
not a football-style The gates are now open! type of rush. Before Saturday
nights game was over, track employees were already kicking around ideas on how
to relieve that pressure. The complaints about sightlines and the distance from
the field seemed largely reserved to those at the game in a working capacity.
Media members and broadcast crews found it challenging to follow the football
from such a distance.But Speedway Motorsports Inc. has plenty of experience when
it comes to dealing with such issues. Over the past quarter-century, it has
opened new racetracks, all larger than Bristol, and added new events to those
facilities. Some of those inaugural events were flawless. Others were
indisputable disasters. Those disasters were all quickly smoothed over. I know.
I lived through a couple of them, before and after.The Battle at Bristol was
nowhere near a disaster. It was a smash. Just ask the people who were on the
field, even the ones who lost. I think the event in its entirety was fantastic,
said Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente. For what its worth, I thought it was a
beautiful setting and beautiful arena to play in.Thats worth a lot. As will be
the inevitable discussions about what comes next.Theres a lot of talk to come
about the future, Marcus Smith said before heading out of the infield. But weve
got a lot more to do here tonight first.Bristol is also good at
trolling.??Michigan rightfully tweet-bragged about its attendance Saturday at
The Big House, drawing 109,295, its 267th game with 100,000-plus attendees. Then
the Battle at Bristol account replied, Thats cute a few hours before it
announced a crowd of 156,990. The single-game record that was broken by the
racetrack was 115,109, set at Michigan vs. Notre Dame in 2003.This weeks version
of The SEC is dying! The Big 12 went 0-2 vs. the MAC over the weekend. In the
first two weeks of the season, the Big 12 has been handed Power 5 losses by
Stanford, Arkansas, Arizona State and Houston. Wait ... sorry, Houston isnt a
Power 5 team yet. Thatll change when they join the Big 12.Ridonculous Stats
Department, Part 1. Running back Kalen Ballage of Arizona State scored eight
touchdowns against Texas Tech, seven on the ground and one receiving, tying the
26-year-old NCAA record held by Howard Griffith of Illinois. However, Griffiths
big day came against FCS (then I-AA) opponent Southern Illinois. Ballange also
tied Griffith and five other players for the most points scored in a single game
with 48. But again, he was the first FBS player to do it against an FBS
opponent. The other players on the list were all from Division II and III
programs.Ridonculous Stats Department, Part Deux. Even with an extra day to
process the Friday night performance of Louisville QB Lamar Jackson vs. Syracuse
-- 610 yards of offense and the first FBS player with at least 400 yards passing
and 175 rushing in one game -- I still cant wrap my mind around it.Ridonculous
Stats Department, one more time. If youve read Flipping The Field all year (and
thanks if you have), then you know I have a bit of a San Diego State fixation.
Last week, we told you to keep an eye on the Aztecs home game against Cal. It
didnt disappoint. SDSU won a wild one, 45-40, to extend the nations
second-longest winning streak to a dozen games. Weve also told you to keep an
eye on running back?Donnel Pumphrey. He also didnt disappoint, rushing for a
2016 FBS-best 281 yards, moving him past?Marshall Faulk to become the schools
all-time leading rusher ... and they still have 10 regular-season games to go!
Speaking of teams on a roll ...Were going streaking! If you were surprised that
Florida whipped Kentucky, then you dont know a ton about SEC football history.
The number wizards at ESPN Stats & Info tell me that the 45-7 win was the
Gators 30th consecutive triumph over the Wildcats, the fourth-longest streak in
an uninterrupted series in FBS history. The record is Notre Dames 43-year
dominance over Navy, a streak that ended in 2006. Ohio States 48-3 mugging of
Tulsa marked the Buckeyes fourth consecutive 40-point performance, the fourth
time the team has put together such a streak under Urban Meyer. All other
coaches in the history of the program have managed only three such streaks ever,
one each under John Cooper, Earl Bruce and Woody Hayes. Meanwhile, Michigans 114
points is the most for the program through two games since 1914. The team record
was set in 1892, when the Wolverines scored 142 points in back-to-back games
with the Michigan Athletic Association club team from Detroit. Not surprisingly,
the Michigan A.A. did not book a rematch in 1893.Get in the car, Frank ...
Auburn never punted during its 51-14 win over Arkansas State, the first time the
Tigers attempted zero punts in a game since 2005. Last weekend, Cheney
University, a D-II school in Pennsylvania, snapped a 43-game losing streak by
defeating Lincoln University in overtime. Alas, their winning streak was much
shorter. On Saturday, they lost 79-3 to California University of
Pennsylvania.Why the long face? Because its his game face. My man was hydrating
early for Boise States visit from Washington State.?Tommy West Coachs News
Conference of the Week: James Conner, RB, Pitt. Conners comeback story, back
from injuries and cancer, has inspired a wave of national attention. But the
buzz within the Keystone State all week was produced via a perceived slight from
Penn State, which seemed to not be super enthusiastic about the revived rivalry
with Pitt after 16 years off. After a dramatic, back-and-forth showdown, Penn
States furious fourth quarter came up short and the Panthers won 42-39, the most
points ever scored by Pitt in their 97 meetings. Conner arrived to the media
room not alone but surrounded by teammates hed insisted come with him, including
the offensive linemen who paved the way for his 117-yard, two-TD afternoon.
Wholesale
Penguins Authentic Jerseys. Nearly every word out of his mouth
seemed pointed at Happy Valley. This is a day me and my brothers, all hundred of
us, will never forget. This is an awesome day, an awesome rivalry. Its awesome
for them to bring it back after such a long time, and Ive got the big dogs in
here with me ... because this is total team effort. Later, he added a line that
might very well end up on T-shirts by the end of the week: This is our state
now.Speaking of rivalries ... What was it that made Week 2 so awesome in the
end? Games like that one. The weekend was packed with rivalries that might not
register like an Ohio State-Michigan nationally, but are regional bonfires. Im
speaking of Iowa-Iowa State, which wasnt a great game, but also Pitt-Penn State
(great game), Boston College-UMass, Middle Tennessee-Vandy, New Mexico-New
Mexico State (great game), Wazzu-Boise State (great game) and the most
underrated rivalry in college football, BYU-Utah (great game). More on one of
those games coming up ...Danny Ford Scientific Rocket Quote of the Week: Nick
Saban, Alabama. When asked about a couple of visible, intense sideline arguments
with offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin during the Tides 38-10 win over Western
Kentucky, Saban replied, Those were no arguments. Those were ass-chewings.Yeah,
its early in the season, but ... The competition for best helmets of 2016 might
already be over, even during a weekend when TCU went with a sweet, chrome purple
and Arizona State trotted out a gorgeous, full-forked design. But Air Force
showed some bite that cant be beaten. During their 48-14 trouncing of Georgia
State, the Falcons celebrated their very own version of Shark Week, wearing lids
emblazoned with the legendary shark tooth design made famous by the Flying
Tigers squadron of World War II and more recently A-10 Warthog tank
busters.?Speaking of the academies ... Its the first time since 1996 that all
three service academies have started 2-0. Navy honored injured QB Tago Smith by
wearing No. 2s and reached 2-0 with a win over UConn. But heres the shocker:
Navy and Air Force are joined in the undefeated department by the longtime
distant third service academy team. Army has already matched last seasons win
total by knocking off Temple and Rice. Both of those teams are Owls. Is it too
late to schedule FAU, Kennesaw State and Bryn Mawr?Weston Steelhammer Name of
the Week: Speaking of competitions that were over before theyd even started, the
greatest name in college football belongs to Steelhammer, Air Forces
hard-hitting safety. In honor of him, were going to scour the rosters of the 128
FBS teams and find other monikers worthy of mention. First, well call this our
Almost Famous guy. Thatd be Dom Maggio,?a?punter at Wake Forest. He isnt quite a
DiMaggio or Dom DiMaggio, but is a little bit of both. During Saturdays Tobacco
Road win over Duke, Maggio booted it seven times for an average of 46.4 yards
per punt.That time we all outrushed UMass: Last week, some Minutemen fans sent
me nasty correspondence after I included them in the Bottom 10, despite a
valiant effort in The Swamp. This week in the Battle of the Bay State, UMass
rushed for minus-23 yards and lost 26-7.Frank Reich Backup QB Of The Week Award:
Ellis Knudson, Towson. The Tigers of the FCS Colonial Athletic Association
started their home opener vs. St. Francis by promptly giving up an 89-yard
defensive touchdown. Then their starting QB, Oregon transfer Morgan Mahalak, was
knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury. With seconds remaining in the
first half, St. Francis was up 28-10. No problem. Backup QB Knudson trotted onto
Johnny Unitas Field and threw for 301 yards, including a 43-yard TD pass to
wideout Christian Summers that broke a tie in the closing minutes and iced the
35-28 win. Summers finished with 232 yards receiving. Knudson finished a Towson
hero.Comeback of the Week Award, also named for Frank Reich: Same!The Guy You
Should Know About, But Probably Dont: Cooper Rush, QB, Central Michigan.?Rush
shows moments of legit talent with moments of brilliance, and his stats Saturday
were going to be off the charts no matter how badly the refs officiated. His
final line vs. Oklahoma State: 30-of-42, 361 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT. Rushs No. 1
target was tight end Tyler Conklin, who had seven catches for 96 yards and a
pair of TDs, including one of the sickest one-handed grabs youll ever see. In
2015, he had six catches for 95 yards the entire season. And in the most
awesomely #MACtion thing youll read today, Conklin is a transfer athlete from
Division II Northwood University, where he played ... basketball.The Team You
Should Know About, But Probably Dont: East Carolina. There were many in
Greenville feeling crushed when the Pirates were the first team revealed as
being cut from the Big 12s expansion shopping list. But honestly, the Bucs have
always done their best work as an underdog. On Saturday, they defeated NC State
in one of the rawest rivalries that most of the nation doesnt know a whole lot
about. (Trust me on this. I grew up around this. Some of the most impressively
awful fights Ive ever seen were as a kid trying to get out of the Carter-Finley
Stadium parking lot after an ECU-NCSU game.) ECU fans live for knocking off
Power 5 schools -- particularly ACC schools. Everything that has been said about
Pitt-Penn State when it comes to the dramatically changing fortunes of the
coaches applies every bit to ECU-NCSU. Since Dave Doeren took over at NC State
in 2013, the Pack have won only six ACC games. Over that same span, East
Carolina has also won games against six ACC schools ... and ECU is an AAC
school. Im thinking that stat might come up during lunch at barbecue joints all
over eastern North Carolina this week. Oh, by the way, ECU is also now 2-0 and
will continue its Ignored Stepchild Grudge Match Tour with a trip to South
Carolina next week and Virginia Tech for Week 4.The Game You Should Be Psyched
For But Probably Arent: North Dakota State at Iowa?(Saturday, noon ET, ESPN2):
The Week 3 slate is l-l-l-loaded. I visited Norman, Oklahoma, back in August,
and everyone was already buzzing about the Houston game to the point that an
athletic administrator said to me, Damn, I dont even know if people realize we
have Ohio State coming in here three weeks in! Talking to College GameDay
producers, they said there has rarely been a week with so much debate about
where to do the show because there were so many juicy options. Ultimately, the
overwhelming showings by Louisville and Florida State were too much to ignore.
Youd also be wise not to ignore the goings-on in Iowa City, when the FCS
juggernaut Bison will have a chance to knock off not only a ranked FBS team, but
a squad that came within a point of making the 2015 College Football Playoff. If
youve ever been to Fargo or simply know someone with ties to the NDSU program,
then you know this is just the kind of day that place lives for.Extra Point: On
a personal level, the Battle at Bristol experience kind of felt like a game Id
been training for my entire adult life. For those of you who dont know, I also
cover motorsports for ESPN and have for 20-plus years now. Over that time, Ive
not met many people -- and certainly no superstars -- as genuine as Dale
Earnhardt Jr. The Bristol Motor Speedway has always been one of his best
racetracks and is also one of the places where his father crystalized his
Intimidator persona. Unfortunately, Dale Jr. hasnt been behind the wheel since
mid-summer and wont return for the remainder of the 2016 NASCAR season because
of ongoing concussion-like symptoms. Just one week ago, he held his first public
news conference, sitting with his boss, Rick Hendrick, and his doctor to update
his condition. During that Q&A, he was very honest about the depression and
frustration involved with being out of his car and with the ongoing processes of
healing. Earnhardt and his doctor both talked about how important it was to his
recovery to get out of the house and into public and do things that challenge
his mind. Well, it doesnt get more out into the public or more challenging than
taking the College GameDay stage and making your Saturday picks in front of
thousands of screaming fans and millions of television viewers. So earlier in
the week, he called me to go over his choices. Some were based on facts, and
others were based on family (his fiancée is a former Kentucky cheerleader, so he
couldnt pick Tennessee over Virginia Tech). But the best part was seeing the
smile on his face before, during and after the trip to Tennessee to sit with
Rece, Desmond, Coach and Herbie. I could tell it was providing Dale with a
much-needed boost to both his mind and spirit. Thats a great thing. Hes one of
the good guys.
