room for the twin ravages of age and injury Antworten

(STATS) -- Potential changes in how the FCS playoff field is selected may decrease the number of rematches this year.But everybody will probably wish for a rematch between top-ranked North Dakota State and No. 8 Eastern Washington after the five-time reigning FCS champion Bison won a 50-44 overtime classic over the Eagles at the Fargodome on Saturday.NDSU safety Tre Dempsey intercepted Eastern Washington quarterback Gage Gubrud on the second play of overtime to set up Lance Dunns 25-yard touchdown run around the left end on the Bisons first play of their possession.Thats a great team that we just played, NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. Im so proud of our guys for staying the course. We knew it was going to be a back-and-forth game. And ultimately we got the stop we needed on defense -- what a great play by Tre -- and then I think we finally wore em down with the power play.NDSU (2-0) has won both of its home games in overtime after having never previously gone to the extra time at the Fargodome since the NCAA instituted overtime in 1996. The win also was the Bisons 44th straight at home against a non-conference opponent.The Missouri Valley Conference power was seeking a little revenge for the only previous meeting between the two teams -- Eastern Washingtons 38-31 OT win in the 2010 FCS playoff quarterfinals. That is the only loss in the Bisons FCS playoff history, and after EWU went on to win the FCS title that season, they have won the last five championships.The rematch six years later was worth the wait. Eastern Washington (1-1) played the second half and overtime without injured All-America wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who left with a right shoulder sprain after catching two first-half touchdowns. They gave him 61 TDs for his career, setting the Division I record.But Gubrud kept pressure on NDSUs young secondary, turning to wide receivers Stu Stiles and Kendrick Bourne as he threw for 450 yards and four touchdowns.The visitors from the Big Sky Conference trailed by double digits four times -- 21-7, 28-17, 35-24 and 41-31 -- and never led until the freshman Tamarick Pierce plowed in from 1 yard out for a 44-41 advantage with 4:32 left.The Bison responded with a 15-play, 71-yard scoring drive, which Cam Pedersen capped with a 28-yard, game-tying field goal with 42 seconds remaining.Eastern Washington had a chance to win in regulation, but Jordan Dascalo missed badly on a 49-yard field goal with six seconds remaining.Anytime you just play against great competition and against great players, it helps you as you go further in your season, EWU coach Beau Baldwin said. Thats especially true with our non-conference schedule heading into our conference schedule, which is always tough. We can take a lot from this, and we will.The two teams racked up 1,093 yards of offense (EWU 556; NDSU 537). Gubrud added 49 yards and a touchdown on the ground while Stiles (eight receptions, 169 yards, one touchdown) and Bourne (eight receptions, 133 yards) were his favorite targets. NDSU quarterback Easton Stick, now 10-0 as a starter, passed for a career-high 257 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 60 yards and a score, while Dunn had 14 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns.I was really pleased with Lance and how hard he ran the football, Klieman said, how he hit the holes, playing with a lot of confidence, and it showed on that last run.All-America linebacker Nick DeLuca, who suffered a right shoulder separation in the season opener against Charleston Southern, returned to the NDSU lineup to post a team-high 14 tackles and 40-yard interception return for a touchdown.The schedules stay tough for both teams next Saturday. NDSU will try to extend a five-game winning streak against FBS opponents when it plays at Big Ten power Iowa.

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Having watched a bunch of older West Indian men win the World T20 title a few months ago, I was curious about the next generation of Caribbean superstars coming through. Test cricket may be dead but was the CPL the answer to keeping the game alive and healthy in the region? So I decided to watch every game of CPL 2016.Initially I was surprised at the abundance of overseas players, many of them now too old for international cricket but still keen to top up their superannuation coffers. Here I was looking for young local talent, but instead we had a Dads Army comprising Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy, Dwayne Smith, Kumar Sangakkara, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Brendon McCullum, Mike Hussey, Shane Watson and Brad Hodge. With exceptions like Rovman Powell (he is special) and Evin Lewis, I saw precious few youngsters coming through to suggest that the future of West Indies cricket is rosy. Having said that, the nature of T20 cricket is such that it is entirely possible to be world champions without owning depth.The other surprising thing for a competition that did such a good job of showcasing the region was the seeming lack of pride in promoting local talent; or at least providing them with the opportunity to get international exposure. The selection of umpires and match referees, for example. Why bring in foreign match officials when your own people can gain invaluable experience? Neutrality is not an issue, so why not provide opportunities to Caribbean umpires to highlight that cricket offers more career opportunities than merely playing the game. The IPL apart, do other domestic leagues fill their ranks with foreign umpires? Is this something that can be rectified to ensure the development aspect of the game extends further than just finding new on-field talent?Even the commentary team lacked local flavour. I was looking forward to hearing those magnificent West Indian accents with local insights, but there was only one regular Caribbean voice to be heard - Daren Ganga. Some of the Australian commentators on show during the tournament are virtual unknowns even in their home country. Why not give the microphone to a few more West Indians? Importing commentators is perhaps understandable in countries where English is not the first language, but in the Caribbean? By taking the game to the USA, the league did its best to infiltrate a niche market, but it may have gone too far by giving them a product that tried too hard to replicate baseball - the large number of rank full-tosses delivered throughout the tournament was astonishing considering were talking of full-time professional cricketers, who presumably do very little else with their lives except practise these basic skills. My guess is that roughhly 20% of balls bowled under pressure did not hit the pitch.dddddddddddd That is a stunningly high error rate for any profession. It is one thing for batsmen like Gayle, Bravo, Andre Russell, Chris Lynn and the like to hit good-length balls into the grandstand, but when they are regularly fed knee-high full tosses, it beggars belief that this is an expression of skill at the elite end of the spectrum. This is a global pandemic and not confined to the CPL, to be fair.Youd expect the T20 format to be the domain of the fit and the athletic, but increasingly that is not quite the case. Maybe it is the longer form of the game, albeit played at a lower intensity, where there is no room for the twin ravages of age and injury. At various stages of the CPL, Gayle, Russell, Bravo, Tanvir, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Kieron Pollard were anything but 100% fit, and yet they were among the most dangerous players in the tournament. McCullum was the exception - his back injury clearly troubled him to the point where his performances with bat and in the field were compromised. The evergreen Hodge too, fine player that he was, looked like age had finally caught up with him.The other big surprise was the abject quality of outfield catching. I base my judgement not on the few brilliant catches that will inevitably feature in a highlights reel but on the number of regulation skiers that were shelled. Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots were particularly poor in this regard. While the acts of brilliance leave one breathless, I have a suspicion that maybe the sheer volume of cricket played is resulting in laziness and fatigue when it comes to these basic skills.Generally speaking, the games were played in typically Caribbean good spirit, except whenever *Kieron Pollard was involved. Aggro seems to be his constant companion. Lendl Simmons too has a bit of that tendency in him, but the smiling elder statesmen like Sammy, Bravo, McCullum and Amla were consistently in good humour throughout.What was revealing in regard to why West Indies are such a dangerous T20 team was the lack of interest the local players showed in trick shots: laps, reverse sweeps and the like. Most of the cute stuff came from the overseas players. The local lads strategy was refreshingly simple - and perhaps offered an insight into why they are world champions, capable of chasing down any target. Clear that front leg and wait for that inevitable full toss. See ball, hit ball, hit it long, man! Just ask Ben Stokes.*16:40:54 GMT, August 8, 2016: The article originally said Kieran Powell instead of Kieron Pollard ' ' '
