Texas A&M and Arkansas will present an interesting contrast in quarterbacks on Saturday (9 p.m. ET) when they clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.Graduate transfer Trevor Knight, who had 15 starts in his first two years at Oklahoma before losing his job to Baker Mayfield in 2015, will lead the No. 10 Aggies (3-0, 1-0 SEC).Junior Austin Allen, the understudy to his brother Brandon the last two seasons, will be behind center for the 17th-ranked Razorbacks (3-0, 0-0).Both seem to be exactly what their respective teams have needed in the early going.Knight, who won the starting job in the spring after coming to College Station in January, has passed for 830 yards and five touchdowns despite completing only 52.9 percent of his passes.Part of the reason for Knights low completion percentage is that he was on target on only half of his 40 attempts against Auburn last week. But Knight was the victim of some drops and also had a long completion to Ricky Seals-Jones nullified when the wide receiver had a foot land inches out of bounds.When it counted, Knight was 8 of 11 after falling behind at Auburn to help the Aggies take a 10-7 lead. He ended up passing for 247 yards and rushing for a net 42 against the Tigers.He was really good early, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said of Knight. For him to play the way he did really gave us a chance to get ahead.Knight also has rushed for 151 yards in the three games on 28 carries.I think hes a deceptive big man with speed, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. Hes got good size. They list him at 6-foot-1 and 215. To me he looks a lot taller than that, and moves.Allen has been the straw that stirs the drink for Arkansas.In the win over TCU in Week 2, he was named SEC Player of Week after passing for 233 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-29 passing. Allens 5-yard run in the second overtime gave the Razorbacks a 41-38 victory.He wasnt all that pressed last week in the 42-3 rout of Texas State, but still was 16-of-21 passing for 241 yards and two more touchdowns.Allen has completed 67.1 percent of his passes for the year for an average of 218.3 yards a game with seven touchdowns against two picks.He is just the fourth quarterback to go 3-0 in his first three collegiate starts for Arkansas since it joined the SEC in the 1992 season. The others were Tyler Wilson in 2011, Mitch Mustain in 2006, and Robby Hampton in 2000. His seven touchdown passes over that span are tied with Ryan Mallett (2009) and Mustain for the high in that category over that same span.Austin does a lot of things very well, Bielema said. I think he throws on the move very well, and he throws well to the left and to the right which youve seen a little glimpse of.He can run the football, but I wouldnt say we want to make a heavy dose of it. That jump cut he gave to his left wasnt quite as good as our running backs, but it sufficed. Im just excited to watch him continue to grow.The Aggies, however, will be the toughest test yet for Allen when it comes to facing pressure.They have two perimeter rushers that are as good as anybody in the country, Bielema said.That would be ends Daeshon Hall, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound senior, and Myles Garrett, a 6-5, 270-pound junior. Together, they averaged 1.5 sacks a game in 2015 with Garrett leading the SEC with 12.5 total. Garrett also had 10 quarterback hurries. Hall had 7.0 sacks and another four hurries.This season, Garrett has three sacks and four hurries. Hall is looking for his first sack, but has been credited with three hurries.The two teams will be meeting in Arlington for a third consecutive season and seventh time overall. The first meeting in Arlington was way back in 1906 when the Aggies won 6-0.So far, the five games at AT&T Stadium have gone the way of streaks. Arkansas won the first three from 2009-11. The Aggies have won the last two in Arlington and the last four meetings overall.Nike Air Max Plus Tn Australia . Q: Team Canada announces their Olympic roster three weeks from today.

Right now, the summer of 2016-17 is the difficult second album stage for the Womens Big Bash League. The inaugural edition a year ago was deemed to have exceeded expectations, but thats not so difficult when no one knew what their expectations were. It drew good crowds, surprisingly strong television numbers, and provided a stage for some excellent young talent. Second time around, we might insist its a minimum requirement to have a legspinner ripping the ball a yard and a half in front of ten thousand at the ground and half a million on TV.In truth though this season is a consolidation chapter, all part of Cricket Australias long-term strategy to increase crickets inclusiveness for women and girls, raise the standard of the womens game for spectators, and help that game support itself with revenue.Nonetheless, WBBL|02 is positioned to do well. Channel Ten has expanded its commitment to screen 12 games, including a prime-time evening match amongst four to be broadcast on the standalone opening weekend. That first carnival round will feature all eight teams across three days in Sydney, taking the spotlight a week before the mens counterpart competition gets underway.The opening round aside, the WBBL schedule wont be as crowded this year. Gone are the absurd rosters that saw some teams play twice in a day, though some games have moved to further-flung grounds to make the competition more accessible. Rooty Hill, Glenelg, Cranbourne or Albury might not be mentioned in the same breath as the WACA, Etihad Stadium or the SCG, but this seasons locales will range from the most illustrious to the most modest. And with free entry for all but the BBL double-headers, it couldnt be much easier.Sydney Thunder The champs of WBBL|01 will defend their title in rude health, losing none of the firepower that won them the competition while adding Indian middle-order dynamo Harmanpreet Kaur. No player does more all-round damage in the womens T20 game than West Indian Stafanie Taylor, returning to the Thunder after topping the runs and most wickets in Englands domestic competition mid-year, after holding aloft the World T20 trophy in April.Led by the always-calm Southern Stars mainstay Alex Blackwell, international experience is present via Rene Farrells seam and Erin Osbornes spin. On top of that, the Thunder boast two youngsters who made it to the highest level after big tournaments last year, left-arm quick Lauren Cheatle and picket-clearing Naomi Stalenberg. With emerging talent like spinner Maisy Gibson also on their books, they have the matchwinners and depth to make winning a habit.Sydney Sixers The pink side of Sydney flipped from competition duds to darlings last season. Facing the earliest possible elimination after losing six games, they went all Mighty Ducks to make the final after winning eight in a row to qualify for the semis. Luckily for the superstitious theyve re-signed New Zealand international Sara McGlashan, the star of several of those wins, whose nerveless 79 not out took them into the finals from the last ball of the regular season.The bowling version of Ebenezer Scrooge also returns in South African opener Marizanne Kapp, and her national skipper Dane van Niekerk has been poached from the Renegades to bolster the middle order. A reasonably handy type you may have heard of named Ellyse Perry is floating about, along with spinner Lisa Sthalekar who continues her Warne-like practice of staving off retirement with occasional T20 appearances.Perth Scorchers Another side that has promised much more than delivered, the Scorchers immediately look weaker for losing England champion Charlotte Edwards and West Indies bludgeoner Deandra Dottin. But in adding Anya Shrubsole to her England opening partner Katherine Brunt, the best new-ball pair in international cricket now also lines up for Perth.Shrubsoles arrival will be delayed due to injury, with England left-arm tweaker Rebecca Reg Grundy taking her place for the opening four games. Batting responsibility falls on the shoulders of experienced trio Suzie Bates, Nicole Bolton and Elyse Villani. Bates is at the peak of her powers as New Zealand skipper - player of the match in the Super League final in England - while the latter pair are vastly experienced Australian openers. Like the Stars, and like last year, the Scorchers look great - on paper.Adelaide Strikers The strain of elite womens cricket can be seen in Adelaides ranks, with last years star England international Sarah Taylor on a break to deal with anxiety, and opening bowler Sarah Cooyte recently opening up about her struggles with an eating disorder.dddddddddddd. Difficult as their experiences are, by speaking about them these women are providing help and reassurance for girls with similar issues.Another former England player, Charlotte Edwards, has switched from Perth in a swap for Lauren Ebsary, and will combine for batting stability with fellow recruit Sarah Elliott, the Test centurion arriving from the Renegades. Two young Strikers - leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington and all-rounder Tahlia McGrath - just made their ODI debuts for Australia, while swing bowler Megan Schutt is a national fixture. English import Tammy Beaumont is one of the biggest hitters in the game, and New Zealands Sophie Devine can match her for power. On balance, this might be the most exciting squad in the comp.Melbourne Stars There wasnt a side in WBBL|01 that promised more but delivered less. A side led by the best player in the world in Meg Lanning, it made sense the Stars would waltz through the regular season and beyond. They didnt. Foreign recruits underperformed, domestic players didnt make the leap - especially with the bat. But they still have Lanning, and returning international Natalie Sciver is a cricketer reborn since last on these shores, evolving into a batsman capable of taking down attacks in a matter of overs in the revitalised England set up.Her national team-mate Danielle Hazell joins the squad as a temporary replacement while Australian first-choice leggie Kristen Beams recovers from a finger injury. Kiwi bowler Morna Nielsen was dominant last year, and powerful Australian bat Jess Cameron is making a comeback after a year away from the game. In short: the Stars have no excuses.Melbourne Renegades The team in red had a poor first season, scraping four wins in some scrappy affairs, though they did roll the Stars in their New Years game on live TV. Light on for batting, theyve lured Australias biggest hitter in Grace Harris from Brisbane. But one batsman cant carry a team, with diminutive placement player Danielle Wyatt and Kiwi wicketkeeper Rachel Priest the only noted willow-handlers alongside. Hiring the CEOs daughter cant hurt a club in the longer term, but we cant expect 15-year-old Annabel Sutherland to generate more headlines than CA boss James.Molly Strano and Sophie Molineux, also known as Molly & Molly, could act as a mood enhancer if they land the pill right, but its been a major comedown losing South African tearaway Shabnim Ismail to a disciplinary suspension from her home board. If they keep their young team together, the Renegades can become something in seasons ahead, but this time around will likely be another struggle.Brisbane Heat In Brisbane last year they got hot fast, but cooled quicker, falling away badly when it mattered most. While the Heat have lost matchwinner Grace Harris in the off-season, stylish Indian bat Smriti Mandhana can replace her at the top of the list, while West Indian Deandra Dottin can clatter bowlers just as far.Beth Mooneys consistency with the bat earned her a national call-up last summer, and she carried that on with a big century for Queensland in the WNCL. Shes a player they can and must build a batting line up around. With the ball, Holly Ferlings burgeoning seniority in Australian ranks suggests she is ready to take a step up here, while Southern Stars all-rounder Jess Jonassen has the best straight drive in womens cricket. On their day theyre formidable, they just have to ensure that day comes around more often.Hobart Hurricanes The Moneyball side of the WBBL, the Hurricanes have no frills, no mystique and no Southern Stars. Its indicative of domestic crickets power disparity that not a single national representative has chosen to represent Tasmania. But none of that stopped Hobart putting together an even outfit that most often got the job done, topping the table for much of last year and making the semi-finals.This was built on consistent contributions from low-wattage players like Erin Burns, Brooke Hepburn, and Corinne Hall, though the latter provided some brilliance in the field. That squad is almost unchanged, with wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne the lone inclusion. The teams few international stars are Englands Heather Knight, who was top ten in the runs and wickets last year; Hayley Matthews, the West Indies teenager who destroyed Australias bowling to win the World T20; and Amy Satterthwaite, who starred for New Zealand with two ODI centuries less than a month ago.
