COLUMBIA, Mo. Wesley Matthews Jersey . -- Missouri linebacker Eric Beisel has waited patiently over the last three years for an opportunity to showcase his abilities.Now, less than desirable circumstances have given him that opportunity, and he is making the most of it.In a 51-45 loss to Middle Tennessee State on Oct. 22, Missouri senior linebacker and leading tackler Michael Scherer suffered an ACL injury, ending his collegiate career five games early. In a 35-21 loss to Kentucky a week later, senior linebacker Donavin Newsom suffered a thigh contusion that has sidelined him ever since.It means a lot to not have them as much as we have had them in the past, and it really makes you realize what you had, Beisel said. Both of those guys are two of my good friends. Weve grown close over the years. Theyre great leaders, great teammates.Scherer said the toughest part about not being able to play is his inability to help his teammates on the field, but that he hopes to help players like Beisel in other ways.The truth is, the defense were running now, Ive played a lot of snaps in and I know a whole lot about it, Scherer said. Its a tough position theyre in right now, but Im just trying to do whatever I can to help them out.Now in his junior year, Beisel discussed his changing role within the program.Ive taken the opportunity to step up as a leader, Beisel said. The more Ive played and the more successful Ive been, people have been looking toward me for advice and momentum. ... Its rewarding.A St. Louis native, Beisel chose Missouri over Arkansas, Kansas State and Nebraska, among others. At home games, No. 38 leads the Tigers out of the tunnel and onto Faurot Field carrying the state flag, an honor coach Barry Odom selected him for.I gladly accepted, Beisel said. Ive been a Missouri fan my whole life. I love the university of Missouri, I love the state of Missouri and I thought if I leave my talents here then I could take my team to a championship.During his first two seasons, Beisel had 22 combined tackles. He made his first career start against Kentucky this year, tallying five tackles, three of them for losses. Last Saturday in a 31-21 loss to South Carolina, he led the Tigers with 14 tackles, including two for losses.Despite his personal success, Missouri (2-7, 0-5 Southeastern Conference) has struggled, and is on an 11-game conference losing streak.It would be rewarding to me if we were winning right now, Beisel said of his own accomplishments. The statistics dont matter. What matters is winning for the university, for the state of Missouri and for all the fans who remain loyal to us.Teammates and coaches are not surprised by Beisels recent success.Eric is the type of guy ... you actually wont see him, but you already know hes putting in work because hell do it late at night, and its showing on the field right now, Newsom said. After practice, Im in here eating, like, starving, and hes out there running back and forth doing footwork drills.Beisels next opportunity to add to his tackle count will be Saturday when the Tigers host Vanderbilt (4-5, 1-4 SEC).He understands the playbook, Odom said. Hes playing well. Hes playing fast ... Im proud of him and I anticipate him having three really good weeks here coming up.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Steve Nash Mavericks Jersey .

The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Shami to RootThe first three balls of the over in which Joe Root got dismissed highlighted the importance of using the crease appropriately. The first ball was from the corner of the crease. The angle brought the ball into the batsman, but it moved away after pitching and rapped Root on the back thigh. The second ball was from closer to the stumps. That came in after pitching to hit Root on the body again. The next ball, once again, was bowled from the corner of the crease. This went away beating Roots outside edge. The ball that dismissed Root was delivered from the centre of the box; by that time Roots mind was already cluttered. It swung in late, and beat the inside edge to trap Root in front.Duckett against AshwinIn all three innings of this Test series, R Ashwin has dismissed Ben Duckett. The first two dismissals were almost identical, for he planted the front foot straight - instead of going slightly across - and got beaten by the turn. In Rajkot, the ball got the outside edge and in the first innings in Visakhapatnam he was bowled. To address this issue, in the second innings, Duckett stood on off stump as opposed to standing on middle stump in the previous innings, and also employed a different approach. The moment you struggle against spin, the most obvious response is to go on the offensive. Often that stems from the lack of confidence in the defensive technique. Ducketts dismissal - gloving a sweep - showed that that approach can never make up for the lack of skills in Test cricket. Natural variationAshwin has shoown immense control of his variations. Jose Barea Mavericks Jersey. He has spun the ball at will, and also taken it away from the right-hand batsmen both in the air and off the pitch. This morning was different, though. Some balls went straight after pitching and some turned viciously. This time, I felt, it wasnt always on purpose. We did a split-screen analysis of his release of the ball that went straight and the one that turned, and we saw no visible difference. The wrist, the shine and the fingers worked the same way on both occasions but produced different results. If the bowler isnt sure of the response off the pitch, what chance does a batsman have? But credit must be given to Ashwin for bowling the probing line and length outside off, giving the ball the best opportunity to cause damage when it behaves unexpectedly.Giving Jayant confidenceCaptains have a huge role to play in the evolution of a cricketer, more so for the bowlers. With the second new ball, Virat Kohli had the option to use Ravindra Jadeja for another longer spell with Ashwin from the other end, but he chose Jayant Yadav. While theres no guarantee of picking up wickets at any stage of the game, there are phases when the likelihood of wickets falling is higher. Thats where the captains role matters. Kohli, quite rightly, has given the debutant requisite confidence. Jayant responded with a beauty to Ben Stokes, and two more wickets in the end.
