Kritik und Lob » Streak, who also scored his Test ce

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU backup quarterback Danny Etling waved his arms to quiet the Tiger Stadium crowd -- and that was before hed done anything more than complete one first-down pass.Frustrated fans in Death Valley, who had booed LSUs offense on its first two possessions, were simply ready for a change. Etling gave them a measure of hope and likely secured himself a start when the No. 21 Tigers open Southeastern Conference play next week.Replacing struggling starter Brandon Harris on LSUs third possession, Etling opened with three straight scoring drives, and the Tigers pulled away for a 34-13 victory over Jacksonville State on Saturday night.I just think we have a nice team. I think we have a good team. They will rally around whoever tries to be the next man up. I think they did it for me tonight, Etling said.Etling completed six of his first eight passes for 100 yards, including a 46-yard scoring strike to tight end DeSean Smith to cap the quarterbacks first drive. Etling also had a 2 yard TD run.LSU coach Les Miles said Etlings night was not perfect by any means, but also said the transfer from Purdue absolutely put himself in the mix to start going forward.Miles might not have much choice, considering how anemic LSUs offense looks with Harris under center, not just against JSU (1-1), but also in a 16-14 upset against fifth-ranked Wisconsin a week earlier.LSU (1-1) opened the game with 12 total yards and no first downs on its first two offensive series before Miles made the QB change.The Tiger Stadium crowd came alive when Etling took the field for the first time. It was a full-on eruption when Etlings long scoring pass hit Smith in stride down the left sideline, giving LSU a 6-3 lead.It was a pretty cool feeling. It was pretty nice, especially since we were down at the time, Etling said. It was nice to put ourselves in a position to succeed.Etlings performance was not entirely unblemished. All six of his second-half passes were incomplete. He was intercepted by Reggie Hall on a long pass intended for Malachi Dupre in the end zone and later lost a fumble when he was sacked and stripped by Darius Jackson.DELAY OF GAMEKickoff was delayed nearly an hour because of lightning in the area.LEONARD-LESSLeonard Fournette did not play, getting the night off to rest his left ankle, which took a hard hit at the end of LSUs season opener. Miles has said Fournette is not seriously injured and sounded optimistic that hed be ready to play next weekend.Derrius Guice started for Fournette and rushed for 155 yards, including a 4-yard TD and a 44-yard run to set up another LSU score.SEEING WHITETreDavious the closed LSUs 27-point second quarter with a 60-yard punt return on which he retreated 20 yards to his own 20 before finding his way back up field for the score.I just had it in my head that either I was going to go for the touchdown or coach Miles was going to be mad at me, said White, who had an interception return for a score a week earlier.SLIPPERY SIGNAL CALLERDual-threat QB Eli Jenkins was once again productive for Jacksonville State, which entered the game ranked fifth nationally among teams in the NCAAs second-tier Football Championship. He passed for 248 yards, including a 76-yard scoring pass to Krenwick Sanders, and rushed for 82 yards.It goes back to Elis experience, JSU coach John Grass said. He really looks like a four-year starter.POLL IMPLICATIONSLSU might move up slightly in the Top25 , but the Tigers are expected to win easily against FCS teams.THE TAKEAWAYJacksonville State: Jenkins has the ability to put up big numbers on any defense, meaning his FCS-level opponents will have their hands full. Jenkins is easily on pace to eclipse the 10,000-yard mark in career total yards by the end of this season. He entered the game already holding the JSU record for total yards with 8,688.LSU: Barring an injury to Etling, Harris next snaps might come in mop-up duty. His numbers through his first two starts this season are 13 of 25 (52 percent) for 139 yards, one TD and two interceptions. He completed one of four passes for 8 yards against JSU.UP NEXTJacksonville State: The Gamecocks return home play Coastal Carolina -- an opponent in transition to the top tier FBS -- on Sept. 17.LSU: The Tigers open SEC play at home against Mississippi State on Sept. 17.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping .

Cheap Jerseys Authentic . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Graeme Cremer does not tend to attract much attention, but there is a story about Zimbabwes captain that provides some insight into his character.He had been rested for a warm-up match against West Indies in Sharjah in March ahead of the World T20 but after Neville Madziva injured a finger while fielding, Cremer had no problem stepping in. He took a good catch on the boundary and then insisted on batting when Zimbabwe collapsed. Thats Graeme - always wanting to improve his game, Kenyon Ziehl, who was there as Zimbabwes selection convenor, said.Cremer took on a short ball from Dwayne Bravo and fractured his left forearm. The X-rays showed numerous splinters, but he wanted to put the arm in a cast and get on the plane to India for the World T20, Ziehl said. He was even willing to sign an indemnity form. In the end we had to make a call based on his health, because the medical advice was that one of the shards of bone could have got into his nervous system or his blood stream.Such determination has not been been evident in Zimbabwes cricket of late. As a team they often deserve sympathy for the conditions they are expected to operate in, but at the same time there is also the feeling that they are all too happy to fall back on those excuses - at least in their own minds - when things invariably get tough in the middle.Since taking over as captain in June, Cremer has shown - through actions rather than words - that he is not one to utilise the get-out clause. As a result he has often been the difference between heavy defeat and abject humiliation.Cremer began his first Test as captain - against New Zealand in July - having not played the format in over three years. He could have easily hidden himself but he bowled 53 out of 166.5 overs and contributed 33 runs as well, occupying the crease for three hours and helping Sean Williams drag Zimbabwe up from 17 for 4 in the second innings.In Harare against Sri Lanka, Cremer had bowled 42 overs, most of them during the toughest phases of the innings, for four hard-earned wickets. Then, when Zimbabwe were 139 for 6, trailing by 398 runs with only four wickets in hand, Cremer responded with an innings few thought possible of a batsman averaging 10.75 in Test cricket.It began innocently enough, with him holding an end up as Peter Moor counterattacked, hitting two clean sixes down the ground. I think we bat quite well together because he plays some big shots and keeps the scoreboard ticking, and I know that I can block out a maiden if I neeed to and just get off strike, Cremer said.ddddddddddddThe irony is that while he saves Zimbabwe from humiliation, Cremer often leaves the batsmen that preceded him red in the face. Theres nothing flash about a player who often batted last in his school teams - he has an elegant forward push that brought seven of his 10 fours through cover, but otherwise he remains compact, picks up the length well and, crucially, doesnt do anything stupid. By the evening, Moor had fallen for 79 but Cremer was still there, pinching singles with the tail to get a maiden Test century, before celebrating in a manner that suggested he was also pinching himself. Its very special - I hadnt got fifty before in Test cricket and I dont even have a five-for yet, he said. When I got to 75, I started thinking, Theres a chance here. Then I thought I might run out of partners. It was an awesome feeling to get that one run to get to a hundred.Cremers influence appears to be rubbing off on some of the newer members of his side, notably Moor and seamer Donald Tiripano. Moors attitude has been evident since the ODI series against India in June. When a journalist commiserated with him over a marginal lbw decision, he brushed the comment off and instead took responsibility for his actions. I should have hit it, he said.That no-excuses approach has been drilled into Zimbabwe since Heath Streak, who also scored his Test century as a No. 8 and captain, was appointed as head coach.We spoke about that as soon as Streaky came in, said Cremer. We can carry on whining about things that happen to us and we just keep going backwards, or we try and turn it around and be a lot more positive as a unit, and show what we can do out there. Whatever happens then is out of our control. Theres a good positive attitude in the changing room and its good to see for a change.The Zimbabwe side that Streak was a part of was widely respected not because they won very match, but for an attitude that helped them punch above their weight. When Hamilton Masakadza was axed as captain earlier this year, with Zimbabwe at a particularly low ebb, one wondered what kind of leader might serve them best, especially given few available options. By embodying the sort of grit that has so often been lacking, Cremer has answered the question in his own quiet style - and notched an unlikely Test hundred while he was at it. ' ' '
