BATON ROUGE, La. -- Les Miles is back in damage-control mode while he tries to fix LSUs offense.The embattled 12th-year coach can only hope he gets the Tigers problems straightened out soon. His team plummeted in the national rankings from fifth to 21st, and his support among fans and boosters is fading fast.Theres a lot that can be said about a lot of things, Miles said Tuesday in reference to the criticism that has been dogging him, quarterback Brandon Harris and his offensive line since Saturdays mistake-marred, 16-14 upset loss to then-unranked Wisconsin . Certainly, Im aware of whats going on.Miles insisted that Harris performance against Wisconsin -- which was punctuated by a game-losing interception thrown directly to a defender and several yards from the nearest receiver -- belied the betterment that the junior QB displayed in practices last spring and throughout August. Miles made it clear hes not ready to give up on Harris, but also left little doubt that Harris margin for error is shrinking.Decision-making and really relaxing and letting the game come to him -- at times, he struggles there, Miles said. By the makeup of the talent thats there, were in pretty good shape. Its just that maturation process.Miles asserted that Harris has been just tremendous in scrimmages, so I know what the capability is.I recognize that hes got to still (improve); we all do, Miles added. But he doesnt have a lifetime to do it and there are other quarterbacks.Next in line would be Danny Etling, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior transfer from Purdue who fans could be calling for when LSU plays its home opener against Jacksonville State this Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.Miles said he is eager to see Etling play, too, but added, Hopefully itll not have to be done for the necessity of victory. Hopefully itll be done because Brandon has really improved and done well, and lets give Danny some snaps.Etling has been praised for his arm strength and ability to scramble when needed, but he does not necessarily represent a panacea for the Tigers offense, based on his experience with the Boilermakers.He started seven games for Purdue as a freshman and five as a sophomore, but often struggled. He left Purdue having completed 55.5 percent of his passes for 2,490 yards and 16 TDs against 12 interceptions.Yet Harris on Saturday struggled to even meet his production standard from a year ago.In 12 starts last season, Harris completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 180.4 yards per game and 13 touchdowns against six interceptions.Against Wisconsin -- which shot up to 10th in the AP Top 25 -- Harris completed 12 of 21 passes (57.1 percent) for 131 yards and one touchdown while being sacked twice and throwing two interceptions, the second of which extinguished LSUs comeback hopes after the Tigers had moved into game-winning field goal range.Harris was not made available to speak with reporters after the Wisconsin game or on Tuesday.Regardless of who plays quarterback, one change will be noticeable: offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will move from the sideline to the press box to call plays.Center Ethan Pocic said the offensive line was to blame for some of Harris troubles against Wisconsin.Brandon, in the locker room, he thought it was all on him, but its not, Pocic said. There are so many things that play into it. Like I told him, the o-line has got to give him more time.LSU players apparently have been briefed on how to handle the fall-out from their first-game flop, which only looked worse in the context of rival Alabama, which has a freshman at quarterback, consolidating its No. 1 ranking with a 52-6 demolition of Southern California.When questioned about the psyche of the team, several LSU players made available to reporters on Tuesday afternoon repeated cliches about taking it one game at a time and improving day by day. They also noted that all their main goals regarding Southeastern Conference and national championship remains in front of us.Technically, thats true. LSU wont play its SEC opener until Sept. 18 against Mississippi State and teams have rebounded from season-opening losses to win the national championship before -- as Ohio State did just two seasons ago.Its not the end of the world, Pocic said, as long as we learn from it and improve.Game notesMiles said star running back Leonard Fournette was rested during Mondays practice but reiterated, as he said after Saturdays game, that Fournette is fine after initially being hobbled by a fourth-quarter hit to his lower leg. ... Miles said guard Josh Boutte, who has been suspended one game for leveling Wisconsins DCota Dixon after the defensive backs game-sealing interception, called Dixon to express remorse and ask if he was OK. He didnt want to hurt him, Miles said, adding that Boutte was blocking on the back side of the play and did not initially realize Dixon had been ruled down because he did not see the defensive back fall to the ground after the interception.---Online: AP College Football website www.collegefootball.ap.orgChina Jerseys 2020 . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day.On Sunday, Aditi Ashok became the first Indian to win a tournament on the Ladies European Tour. A look at five other landmark moments in Indian golf:1965 The first Indian Open winner from IndiaThe first Indian Open was played in 1964, nine years after the establishment of the sports governing body the Indian Golf Union, and five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson won the inaugural event at the Delhi Golf Club. The following year, the event was held at the par-73 Royal Calcutta Golf Course, and Indian amateur Prem Gopal Sethi (also known as Billoo) stunned a strong foreign contingent to win by a margin of seven strokes. Sethi began his first two rounds with successive five-under-68 scores, and paved the way for seven other Indians to have picked up the most prestigious title on Indian soil, including Jyoti Randhawa who won three times.1982 Asian Games double for Laxman SinghGolf has been a regular fixture at the Asian Games since the 1982 edition in New Delhi, India, and the Indians havent been as successful as they were in the first edition. Laxman Singh picked up the individual gold, beating compatriot Rajiv Mohta by three strokes. Singh and Mohta then combined with Amit Luthra and Rishi Narain to pick up the team gold ahead of South Korea and Japan. India have only won three more medals at subsequent editions of the Asian Games -- Shiv Kapur picked up the individual gold in 2002, and then the Indian team won silvers in both 2006 and 2010.1996 First Indian to qualify for the LPGAKolkata-born Simi Mehra turned professional in 1994, and by then had already picked up titles as an amateur, including one at the Malaysian National Championship in 1993. She would then try her luck at the LPGA through Qualifying School in 1995-96, with as many as 25 titles under her belt. She made it through to the LPGA Tour at her first attempt, and played in the top tier of womens golf in three stints between 1996 and 2008. After a long break, during which she was also instrumental in setting up the Womenss Golf Association of India, she re-entered the Symetra Tour to qualify for the LPGA Tour again in 2017, but missed the cut at the first stage in August.dddddddddddd2006 Jeev makes the top 100Jeev Milkha Singh began the calendar year with a ranking in the late 300s. His first event of the year was at the Asian Tour Pakistan Open, where he produced a tied-2nd rank to set the tone for what remains easily his best year since turning pro. There were two title wins on the Japan Golf Tour to round off the year, though he first improved his rankings with a one-stroke win at the China Open, co-sanctioned between the Asian and European Tours. Jeev headed into the prestigious European Tour Volvo Masters in October - the last official money event of the Tour that has since been replaced by the Dubai World Championship - in 147th rank, and beat a field comprising Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia and Padraig Harrington (all of whom lost by a single shot to him) to pick up his fourth title in the year. This took him to 77th, becoming the first Indian male golfer to break into the top-100 of the world golf rankings. His career-best ranking remains 28th.2010 Atwal strikes gold at WyndhamIt was in 2003 that Arjun Atwal finished seventh at the PGA Tour qualifying school and earned a regular card to compete at the sports most competitive field as the first Indian golfer, and only the second of Indian origin after Vijay Singh of Fiji. In 2010, he was close to losing his regular card when he headed to the Wyndham Championship at the Sedgefield country club in North Carolina. He began with a tournament joint-best 9-under-61 in the first round, and maintained his composure on the par-70 course with subsequent scores of 67, 65 and 67. His win by one stroke over USAs David Toms remains the only PGA Tour title by an Indian golfer, besides improving his ranking from 450 to 182 across four days. ' ' '
