COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Two weeks ago, the Texas A&M Aggies were in position to nab a spot in the College Football Playoff after they were ranked fourth in the first installment of the rankings.Now two straight losses to unranked teams and an injury to quarterback Trevor Knight have the 23rd-ranked Aggies (7-3) looking for a way to end the downward spiral when they host UTSA on Saturday.No one in this building, from players, coaches, people around us, are happy about last two weeks, coach Kevin Sumlin said. No way you can be. Because those are two games we wanted to win and where we were headed and what was at stake were big games.This week, Texas A&M seems likely get a shot of confidence it desperately needs to move on from losses to Mississippi State and Mississippi when the team hosts the Roadrunners, who have only had a football program since 2011.The Aggies host LSU on Thanksgiving to wrap up the regular season. Sumlin and his staff are trying to get the team back on track by stressing what winning the rest of the games could do for their season.When all is said and done, depending on what happens these last two games, it will say a lot about where this team going to be, Sumlin said. Because of what happened in college football the last few weeks, with two games to go, winning those two games could put you in lot of different scenarios that are very positive for this program.The Aggies will look for Jake Hubenak to be more consistent after up and down play since taking over for Knight, who is out for the regular season with a shoulder injury. Hubenak came in for Knight in the first half against Mississippi State and made his second career start last week against Mississippi and threw an interception in both games.UTSA coach Frank Wilson doesnt love playing a non-conference game this late in the season, but he and his team are embracing the challenge of facing a Southeastern Conference opponent.In an ideal world, you like to be in conference because of the parity, he said. But the way the schedule is set it allows us to get up and really measure ourselves against one of the better teams in the country.Some things to know about the UTSA-Texas A&M game:COMING HOMESaturday will be a homecoming UTSAs top two receivers, Josh Stewart and Kerry Thomas, who both grew up in College Station. Stewart has 29 catches for 591 yards and four touchdowns and Thomas has 22 receptions for 303 yards and seven scores.Some guys are late bloomers, Sumlin said. Cant get them all. Those guys will be excited to play here, to be basically back home to play at Kyle Field.CHASING 1,000Texas A&M RB Trayveon Williams needs 124 yards rushing to become the first true freshman in school history to rush for 1,000 yards. Williams had 17 carries for 72 yards last week and has six touchdowns this season.GOING BOWLING?The Roadrunners (5-5) need to win one of their last two games to become bowl eligible for the first time in school history. UTSA won seven games in 2013 but the school was not eligible for a bowl because it was in its final year of reclassifying to the Football Bowl Subdivision.DANGEROUS KIRKTexas A&Ms Christian Kirk leads the nation with three punt returns for touchdowns this season. He is two shy of tying the NCAA record for punt returns in a season set by Chad Owens of Hawaii in 2004 and North Carolinas Ryan Switzer in 2013.

NFL Jerseys Outlet .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. PHILADELPHIA -- The subject was Aaron Rodgers, and the two people discussing him not long ago were Tom Brady and another prominent NFL figure. Brady conceded to the man that Rodgers had much more physical talent than he had. Brady assured him -- half-jokingly -- that if Rodgers had the benefit of the New England Patriots system and the Bill Belichick think tank, he would throw for 7,000 yards every year.At the top of his game, leading the Green Bay Packers as assertively as Brady leads the Pats, Rodgers was always a fascinating performer to watch. He had the wheels to break away from defenders and race for a first down, yet he was more of a dancer than a sprinter. He was Baryshnikov in the pocket, making bigger, angrier invaders miss with his beautiful ballet.Only lately Rodgers hasnt been all that easy on the eyes. His team had lost four straight, and the quarterback who told his panicking fans to R-E-L-A-X two years ago had no right making the same plea. The Packers walked into Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night with no running back to speak of, no world-class speed at receiver, and no reason to believe their dreadful defense could stop even an offense as limited as the one being run by Eagles rookie?Carson Wentz.Rodgers was a bit of a problem, too. His season had been defined by relatively bad aim, relatively bad body language and reported fractures in his family relationships. He was playing under a persistent cloud, and he needed a whole lot more than his seemingly desperate boast that his then-4-6 Packers could run the table over their final half-dozen games to escape it.So this is why it was so much fun to watch No. 12 look like No. 12 again, opening Mondays?27-13 victory with two touchdown passes to Davante Adams on his first two drives and punctuating the first with a fist pump and the second with a Tiger Woods uppercut. Did you happen to catch that second one? Its pretty hard to believe Adams happened to catch it in the back of the end zone with Nolan Carroll draped all over him.Rodgers has spent his career throwing balls into what football people like to call tight windows, but this window was all but sealed shut. How many quarterbacks in the history of the game even attempt that 20-yard throw, never mind complete it to a covered receiver who was blinded by the stadium lights?I couldnt see the ball until the last millisecond, Adams said. The receiver would tell Carroll, whose back was to the incoming pass until, well, the last millisecond, The ball just landed in my lap.Rodgers didnt have the pleasure of watching it live, but while on his back he listened for the crowd reaction to tell him the story. It was a small cheer, the quarterback said, so I figured either something good happened or it was incomplete.Something pretty damn good happened if youre a fan of great players doing great things against the odds. The NFL is a better place when Rodgers is Rodgers instead of the shadow of his former self he has been for much of the past two seasons, when he has spent too many games completing fewer than 60 percent of his attempts.ddddddddddddHe would connect on 30 of 39 passes against the Eagles for 313 yards, and he would run twice for 25 yards and two first downs on an opening drive that suggested it would be a long night for the home team and its own faltering playoff hopes. Rodgers would also play through an injured hamstring in the second half, after ducking into a makeshift tent on the sideline to drop his pants and get the leg taped up.No, the franchise quarterback couldnt let down the franchise by talking about running the table before spending the second half sitting on the training table. His positive attitude has been consistent throughout his time, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. Hes grown as a quarterback since starting in 2008. Hes grown as a person all the way through. ... Hes an excellent leader and always has been. Its something we will build off.Rodgers had actually thrown 12 touchdown passes against three interceptions during Green Bays four-game losing streak that ended Monday night, but his team had lost its past two by a combined 40 points. He needed to do more Monday night -- a lot more -- and he responded by giving the gifted Wentz a snapshot of what a grown-up quarterback looks like.Rodgers talked with the rookie before the game and came away impressed by Wentzs intelligence and athleticism. Eagles fans, Rodgers said, should be excited about the future with Carson.But what about Packers fans? How excited should they be about the near-future with Aaron now that he has talked hopefully about winning the next five games?After he unstrapped his backpack from his shoulders and winced as he stepped up to a news conference podium, Rodgers sounded more relieved by the victory than he did emboldened by it. Its been a rough stretch, he said. Were human. You lose a few in a row and doubt starts to creep in on whether or not you can actually finish one of those games off.Asked how a professional athlete prevents the doubt from consuming him, Rodgers spoke of trusting his preparation and committing to a consistency in approach. Youve got to believe in yourself, he said, and believe in your teammates and not let that doubt or fear of failure cripple you. Youve got to harness it and channel it to the positive, and I think our guys did that this week.Just days after Rodgers talked about turning 4-6 into 10-6, the Packers converted on 10 of 14 third-down chances and played their first complete game of the season. Maybe this is the beginning of something special, maybe not.Either way, Rodgers reminded everyone Monday night that, at 32, he still has some prime-time football to play. If youre a fan of talent, star power and creativity, it was a hell of a show to watch. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
