Adelaides small defenders Rory Laird and Luke Brown are pressing for selection as the Crows seek to end their Geelong hoodoo.Laird (hip) and Brown (groin) are likely inclusions for Adelaides away trip to play in Geelong, where they havent won since 2003.We havent had success down there as a club for a while and well be out to hopefully change that this week, ruckman Sam Jacobs said of an eight-game losing stretch in Geelong.Jacobs said there was a reason for the poor record in Geelong: the Cats are a great side.That is pretty much the simplicity of it, he said.They have obviously been a great team for a long period of time now.But we go down there with full confidence that were in good enough form that we feel we can get the win.Adelaide are on an eight-winning streak which has taken them to second spot - their last loss was round eight, against Geelong.In that fixture, the Cats restricted Adelaide to a season-low 72 points - in every other game, the Crows have kicked 97 points or more.They defended us really well. We had a look at that straight after the game so Im sure (coach Don Pyke) Pykey will touch on that going forward this week, Jacobs said.They have obviously got a really experienced half-backline ... we will change a few things this week and hopefully it works.We always go into the game confident we can get the job done but I guess recent results suggest that we are in pretty good form.

Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Michael Irvin Cowboys Jersey . The Montreal Canadiens announced on Friday that the veteran forward will return to the teams line-up on Saturday night when the Habs visit the Nashville Predators. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Emmitt-Smith-Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Tony Dorsett Youth Jersey . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn coach Gus Malzahns puzzling quarterback rotation against Clemson didnt work out at all like he had hoped. The offense sputtered and gave away chance after chance to topple one of the best teams in the nation.For the Tigers second game against Arkansas State, that plan was scrapped. Malzahn gave Sean White the reins, and White -- along with the rest of the Auburn offense -- took advantage.He threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 passing, and the Tigers picked up 462 yards on the ground en route to a 51-14 demolition of Arkansas State on Saturday night.The 706 total yards Auburn gained is the second-highest in school history, behind only the 712 the Tigers racked up against Western Carolina in 2013.We came out and we looked like an Auburn offense for the first time, Malzahn said. Just looking at it, without looking at the film, I can tell they definitely improved.Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway each tallied over 100 yards on the ground, the first time two Auburn players have eclipsed the century mark in a game since 2014.Johnson added a pair of touchdowns, the first of which was a dazzling, cross-field, electrifying run that included a hurdle over an Arkansas State defender and a dive across the pylon.KJ, hes got some unique abilities, Malzahn said. He can do some things that can kind of wow you at times, and of course, that was really impressive. There were some good blocks, too, but he really made something out of nothing on that one.That was one of a handful plays that elicited flashbacks to the explosive Auburn offense of 2013 and 2014. The most impressive one, however, came from a freshman.Receiver Kyle Davis hauled in a falling, one-handed catch that bore a striking resemblance to New York Giants receiver Odell Beckhams simiilar catch, one that has become iconic.ddddddddddddrkansas State managed to scrape across a pair of touchdowns to go with the Red Wolves 326 total yards, but they couldnt find much room to maneuver against a vastly improved Auburn defense.We felt like if we could hang close, stay close, keep it a game, that potentially third or fourth quarter some of our quickness out in space might give us a chance to be in the mix, said Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson. You had to make it a 60-minute game and the second quarter just got away from us, and at that point it just not the same conversation anymore.The Tigers tacked on points in 10 of their 12 drives, and at one point scored a touchdown on five consecutive possessions. One of those touchdowns came on a fake field goal, which holder Tyler Stovall and kicker Daniel Carlson executed to perfection.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn rights the ship and quiets steadily rising concerns about the Tigers offensive woes and, perhaps more importantly, Malzahns job security.Arkansas States troubles in the secondary -- and the defense as a whole -- continue to plague the Red Wolves, who have now been outscored 82-24 in their first two games this season.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith the way SEC teams have been struggling against inferior opponents, a wire-to-wire victory for Auburn might be enough to bump them into the Top 25.QUOTABLEIt was good to go out there and ball out with my teammates, said Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson. Im glad we got a team win today. We need to keep improving, but Im so happy we got a win for Auburn today.UP NEXTAuburn hosts No. 20 Texas A&M on Saturday.Arkansas State travels to Utah State on Friday. ' ' '
