COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Both No. 10 Texas A&M and Mississippi will start backup quarterbacks on Saturday when they meet after Aggies starter Trevor Knight and Rebels starter Chad Kelly both suffered serious injuries last week.The Aggies will go with Jake Hubenak, who threw for 222 yards with two touchdowns and an interception after taking over after Knight injured his shoulder in a loss to Mississippi State on Saturday that knocked Texas A&M out of the College Football Playoff top four.For the most part Jake was effective in second half, coach Kevin Sumlin said. Eleven for 17 for a guy who had to go find his helmet to get in the game. Go run into a game like that, down two touchdowns on road, to give us an opportunity at the end of the game says a lot about him but also says a lot about communication between him and the offensive staff at that time. That will continue to get better.It will be the second career start for Hubenak , who got his first in A&Ms bowl game last season after both of the teams top quarterbacks transferred in December.The quarterback situation for Mississippi is a lot less clear with coach Hugh Freeze refusing to name a starter this week in the wake of Kellys season-ending knee injury.Freeze did say that freshman Jason Pellerin , who filled in for Kelly after he was injured, would get most of the snaps in practice this week.But he didnt rule out a variety of other options, including pulling the redshirt off highly touted recruit Shea Patterson or moving receiver Markell Pack or tight end Evan Engram to the position. Regardless of who gets the start, Freeze knows they wont be able to run the offense the same way they did with Kelly, who leads the SEC in yards passing a game.It would be crazy for us to expect to carry the whole playbook into this game, Freeze said.Some believe starting Patterson would be the right move, but to Freeze playing him wouldnt be an easy decision so late in the season.You have to look at the whole scenario for whats best for individuals and whats best for the team and how many games are left, and if you want his first start to be in front of 115,000 at A&M or the first game next year, Freeze said. You want to set a kid up for success, we obviously believe he is a super talent, but those are all the kinds of things going on in your mind.Some things to know about Mississippis game against Texas A&M:KIRKS WORKTexas A&M WR/PR Christian Kirk has returned three punts for touchdowns in the past two games to give the sophomore five in his career. Kirk returned two against New Mexico State two weeks ago and a third one last week at Mississippi State. If he returns one on Saturday he will become the third player in FBS history and first since 2013 to have a punt return touchdown in three straight games. Hes also one of Texas A&Ms top receivers with 61 receptions for 591 yards and seven touchdowns.BOWL STREAK IN JEOPARDYWith just four wins this season, the Rebels need to win two of their last three games to avoid ending a streak four straight bowl games. The last time they didnt qualify for a bowl game was in 2011, the year before Freeze took over.CHASING 1,000Texas A&Ms Trayveon Williams needs 196 yards rushing to become the first true freshman to rush for 1,000 yards. The mark is within reach with Williams averaging 89.33 yards a game. His best games came in consecutive weeks against Arkansas and Tennessee when he ran for 153 yards and a season-high 217.IN THE BACKFIELDThe Aggies are second in the nation with 83 tackles for losses. The group is led by defensive end Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall who have 9 1/2 tackles for losses each. Claude George has 8 1/2 and three players have six each. Garrett leads the team with four sacks this season and needs two more to become the sixth player in SEC history with 30 career sacks.RUN DEFENSE WOESTexas A&M is focused on improving its run defense after allowing 365 yards rushing last week. It has been a problem all season and the Aggies are tied for 90th in the country, allowing 197.4 yards rushing a game.Doing what youre supposed to do and executing, that was an issue, Sumlin said. Why that is and what happened, we talked about it as a staff and as a team. That has been addressed schematically. Been addressed with our players ... were moving on.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Blues Jerseys China .

Ivan Barbashev Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. CORVALLIS, Ore. -- The change in position for Oregon State quarterback Seth Collins seemed inevitable at the end of last season, when he was used in several roles in the finale against Oregon.The writing was on the wall: Utah State transfer Darell Garretson would be eligible to play this season, and it looked like that was where the Beavers were leaning at quarterback. Collins decided to leave Oregon State and go somewhere where he could play at quarterback -- but he never actually left school.Instead, he became a receiver.Collins has embraced his new role, joining a handful of prospective QBs across the Pac-12 who have traded positions. These shifts are usually out of necessity if they want playing time because another quarterback in the so-called Conference of Quarterbacks is established as the starter.In Collins case, he was named Oregon States starter at the beginning of last season, coach Gary Andersens first with the Beavers. Fast and athletic, Collins turned heads when he actually hurdled a defender in a game against Weber State.Collins would go on to start seven total games. He threw for 936 yards and six touchdowns, while also rushing for 580 yards and eight scores. Sidelined by injury for four games, he returned in the Civil War, lining up at running back, receiver and quarterback.In adjusting to his new multidimensional role this season, Collins has caught 24 passes for 268 yards, averaging 11.2 yards a reception.Last week Andersen said that senior team captain Sean Harlow had pointed to Collins passion during a team address.In life, I love the word `edgy, Andersen said about Collins. I want to be around people that they might make you a little bit nervous. Thats good. I love it. Thats where you want to live, and theres nothing wrong with that, because you know that theyre going to compete at whatever theyre doing.Oregon State, coming off its first conference win under Andersen last weekend against Cal, hosts Utah on Saturday. Collins will see another former QB, Utes safety Chase Hansen, across the sidelines.A look at some of those former Pac-12 QBs -- who actually played in a college game at the position -- with new jobs.CHASE HANSEN, Utah: Now a sophomore, Hansen was officially third on the Utes depth chart last season behind Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson. A 6-foot-3 dual threat, he saw a handful of opportunities at QB. Part way through the season he was moved to safety by coach Kyle Whittingham, who said it was just temporary.But Hansen did well in thee new role.dddddddddddd He started against Washington, where he had a career-high 11 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup. A lower leg injury cut his season short.This season, hes all-in at safety.Hes playing as good as any safety in the conference, Whittingham said. Hes all over the place. Hes a big-play guy. Hes stripping the ball, hes recovering fumbles. Hes doing a great job in coverage. Hes physical. Hes a great tackler. Hes exceeding my expectations. I believed he was going to be very good. But I didnt know hed be this good this quickly.LUKE RUBENZER, California: Rubenzer competed with Jared Goff his freshman year and the latter obviously won that battle, although Rubenzer threw for a pair of touchdowns and also saw some time at running back.Injuries to the defense prompted a move to safety when he was a sophomore and he recorded 43 tackles and two interceptions. This season, Rubenzer became a starter following the loss of sophomore safety Evan Rambo, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.He has 34 tackles, including 26 solo, an interception and two fumble recoveries.DALLAS LLOYD, Stanford: Like many of the other converted quarterbacks, Lloyd saw his chances at playing time diminish with the rise of another QB, in this case, Kevin Hogan. After spot duty at quarterback in 2013 (he never threw a pass), Lloyd began his transition to the secondary his junior year. Now, as a fifth-year senior, hes one of the teams leaders on defense. Hes had two interceptions this season to go with 23 tackles.JEFF LOCKE and TAYLOR ALIE, Oregon: Lockie was the backup to quarterback Marcus Mariota and many figured hed become the starter when the Heisman Trophy winner went to the NFL. But Oregon brought in graduate transfer Vernon Adams from Eastern Washington last season.Adams finger injury prompted Oregon to look at both Lockie and Alie, but both struggled with consistency. All three QBs played in a loss at home to Washington State last season.The Ducks brought in another graduate transfer in advance of this season, Dakota Prukop, and Lockie and Allie were moved to receiver in the spring.Interestingly, freshman quarterback Justin Herbert, who started last weekend in Oregons 70-21 loss to Washington, credited Lockie and Alie for their guidance in the days leading up to his debut.---AP Sports Writer Kareem Copeland in Utah contributed to this report.
