AUBURN, Ala. -- Texas A&M is 3-0 and rising in the rankings once again.The 10th-ranked Aggies have even sustained that success for a couple of more games the past two years before limping home to disappointing finishes. Theyre hoping things will turn out differently after Saturday nights 29-16 road win over Auburn to open Southeastern Conference play vaulted them seven spots in the Top 25.The challenges only get bigger for Texas A&M (3-0, 1-0 SEC), starting with Saturdays game against No. 17 Arkansas in Arlington, Texas.The Aggies have started each of the past two seasons with five straight wins and rises into the Top 10. Kevin Sumlins teams have matching 3-5 records from that point, though.I think weve played a different schedule, so maybe 3-0 from a couple of years ago might be different because of who weve played, Sumlin said. But its still three games. We recognize theres still a whole lot of football to play. Thats why I like our teams demeanor right now and how were approaching things.I dont think thats a much different approach than the other teams have had, but our guys understand theres a lot of football to be played.Indeed, the rest of the schedule includes a game with No. 14 Tennessee and a visit to top-ranked Alabama, plus matchups with 23rd-ranked Mississippi and No. 18 LSU. This Texas A&M team does have wins over UCLA (in overtime) and SEC West rival Auburn sandwiched around a laugher against Prairie View A&M.Last years team had a resume comprised of wins over Arizona State, Ball State and Nevada. Two years ago, the first three opponents included South Carolina but also Lamar and Rice.There are other positive signs for the Aggies. Trevor Knight only completed half of his 40 passes but he threw for 247 yards and made plays on the ground, too. Texas A&M didnt turn the ball over but did stall in the red zone a number of times and settled for five field goals by Daniel LaCamera.Its frustrating, Knight said. Wed get down there and have some opportunities to get the ball in the end zone. We put enough points on the board to win this ball game. Great job by Daniel, being almost automatic.Defensively, Texas A&M dominated Auburns blockers in pass rushing situations. Myles Garrett had two of the teams four sacks and the Aggies tallied 13 tackles behind the line.They did allow 236 rushing yards but didnt give up a pass play longer than 18 yards.Garrett had a defense-oriented answer when asked why this team is different from the other fast-starting Aggies teams.Talent on every single position, he said. Guys who are going to come down and lay the boom but can also come off the edge and play the pass. I feel like we can do it all this season.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview.Trailblazing teenage T36 long-jumper Ryan Raghoo hopes his record-breaking achievements can help pave the way for the next generation of disability athletes. The Brunel University student, who has cerebral palsy, broke the British record at the Queensland Open Championships and now looks set to travel to Rio and become the nations first T36 Paralympic long-jumper.He told Sky Sports: Its a privileged position to be in and I am very grateful to have reached a level in the sport and be the first person in British history to do that. However, its a position Im not going to be complacent about. For me, its about the platform once I get there of what I can do to change things for people with disabilities.I try to promote and get more people involved in disability sports and thats one of the reasons why I compete. I want to show people it doesnt matter what background you come from, what disability you have, or what start in life youve had, you can still achieve things.Its the same message Ive been pushing throughout my career and I hope more organisations come on board to help support the message of enabled, not disabled, and to empower people with disabilities. Ryan only began walking as a four-year-old Raghoo proved his performance at Queensland was no fluke by achieving the Rio Paralympics qualifying standard again at a meeting in Talence, France, in April. He jumped five centimetres short of his own British record of 4.61m set in February, making him a virtual certainty to be selected for next months European Championships.Im probably my own worst critic and to be fair, I was quite frustrated despite breaking the British record because I know I can jump a lot further, the 19-year-old said.The British record is just a steepping stone to bigger things and when I started out, I was looking at that record as the first marker on the road to some great things the summer, so it was nice to achieve.dddddddddddd Raghoo looking to use Europeans as stepping stone to Rio When I jumped the British record, it also qualified me for the European Championships as well [which no other British athlete has ever done] and I aim to use the Europeans as an opportunity to build for Rio.But I also think I dont feel as excited about it as perhaps I should, because Para-athletes get very little recognition, if any, for breaking national records. Maybe its something Ill be able to enjoy when I look back on my career but it was a good marker to put down.Croydon-based Raghoos mother is from India and his father is Guyanese with Indian ancestery. Doctors told Ryans parents he may never be able to walk. There are very few ethnic minorities in Paralympic sports, which is one of the reasons why I am so driven to succeed, added the self-funded athlete.Im often asked who my role models were but there was no-one to really look up to from my background. i remember when Amir Khan came through and that was major for the Asian community because we dont have too many superstars on that level.Id certainly like to be able to become a role model but Im the first to say that Im still learning. When I speak to people - and I speak to children a lot - they always seek to take something away from my story, so in many ways my journey is an opportunity for me to inspire people. ' ' '
