导出博客文章Texas A&M and Arkansas will present an interesting contrast in quarterbacks
on Saturday (9 p.m. ET) when they clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington,
Texas.Graduate transfer Trevor Knight, who had 15 starts in his first two years
at Oklahoma before losing his job to Baker Mayfield in 2015, will lead the No.
10 Aggies (3-0, 1-0 SEC).Junior Austin Allen, the understudy to his brother
Brandon the last two seasons, will be behind center for the 17th-ranked
Razorbacks (3-0, 0-0).Both seem to be exactly what their respective teams have
needed in the early going.Knight, who won the starting job in the spring after
coming to College Station in January, has passed for 830 yards and five
touchdowns despite completing only 52.9 percent of his passes.Part of the reason
for Knights low completion percentage is that he was on target on only half of
his 40 attempts against Auburn last week. But Knight was the victim of some
drops and also had a long completion to Ricky Seals-Jones nullified when the
wide receiver had a foot land inches out of bounds.When it counted, Knight was 8
of 11 after falling behind at Auburn to help the Aggies take a 10-7 lead. He
ended up passing for 247 yards and rushing for a net 42 against the Tigers.He
was really good early, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said of Knight. For him
to play the way he did really gave us a chance to get ahead.Knight also has
rushed for 151 yards in the three games on 28 carries.I think hes a deceptive
big man with speed, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. Hes got good size. They
list him at 6-foot-1 and 215. To me he looks a lot taller than that, and
moves.Allen has been the straw that stirs the drink for Arkansas.In the win over
TCU in Week 2, he was named SEC Player of Week after passing for 233 yards and
three touchdowns on 17-of-29 passing. Allens 5-yard run in the second overtime
gave the Razorbacks a 41-38 victory.He wasnt all that pressed last week in the
42-3 rout of Texas State, but still was 16-of-21 passing for 241 yards and two
more touchdowns.Allen has completed 67.1 percent of his passes for the year for
an average of 218.3 yards a game with seven touchdowns against two picks.He is
just the fourth quarterback to go 3-0 in his first three collegiate starts for
Arkansas since it joined the SEC in the 1992 season. The others were Tyler
Wilson in 2011, Mitch Mustain in 2006, and Robby Hampton in 2000. His seven
touchdown passes over that span are tied with Ryan Mallett (2009) and Mustain
for the high in that category over that same span.Austin does a lot of things
very well, Bielema said. I think he throws on the move very well, and he throws
well to the left and to the right which youve seen a little glimpse of.He can
run the football, but I wouldnt say we want to make a heavy dose of it. That
jump cut he gave to his left wasnt quite as good as our running backs, but it
sufficed. Im just excited to watch him continue to grow.The Aggies, however,
will be the toughest test yet for Allen when it comes to facing pressure.They
have two perimeter rushers that are as good as anybody in the country, Bielema
said.That would be ends Daeshon Hall, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound senior, and Myles
Garrett, a 6-5, 270-pound junior. Together, they averaged 1.5 sacks a game in
2015 with Garrett leading the SEC with 12.5 total. Garrett also had 10
quarterback hurries. Hall had 7.0 sacks and another four hurries.This season,
Garrett has three sacks and four hurries. Hall is looking for his first sack,
but has been credited with three hurries.The two teams will be meeting in
Arlington for a third consecutive season and seventh time overall. The first
meeting in Arlington was way back in 1906 when the Aggies won 6-0.So far, the
five games at AT&T Stadium have gone the way of streaks. Arkansas won the
first three from 2009-11. The Aggies have won the last two in Arlington and the
last four meetings overall.

Associated Press. Tom Rowe, who was promoted to general manager before the
season, will assume the coaching duties, said the source who spoke on condition
of anonymity because the team hasnt announced the moves.Leighton hadnt been in
an NHL net in four years and hadnt won in six. He shrugged off a two-goal
deficit as his teammates scored three goals in the second period, stopping 31
shots.Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist to spark the rally, which stopped a
two-game losing streak and a six-game slide in the series.Viktor Stalberg and
Derek Ryan also scored for Carolina, with Ryan getting his first of the
season.Leighton was outstanding, said Carolina coach Bill Peters said, whose
team has won five straight home games. Once it was 3-2 he made four or five good
saves. He made a great glove save on (Alexsander) Barkov coming across the
middle, made a save on a penalty kill on (Aaron) Ekblad coming around the back
door. He made some great saves.Cam Ward had started the previous nine games in
goal for Carolina. Regular backup goalie Eddie Lack has been on injured reserve
under concussion protocol for six days, with Leighton called up from Charlotte
of the American Hockey League to serve as backup.Jonathan Marchessault and
Ekblad scored for Florida, and Barkov had two assists.Im happy to be back and
happy to get a win, Leighton said. I felt better as the game went on. The first
two goals were kind of fluky. As a team we knew we had to play better in the
second period. We came out flying and that made my job a little easier.Florida
goalie James Reimer had 24 saves.Floridas Jaromir Jagr played in his 1,651st NHL
game, tying him with Chris Chelios for fifth in NHL history. The 44-year-old
Jagr had a first-period assist.Jagr is a game behind former Pittsburgh teammate
and formeer Hurricane Mark Recchi for fourth place.dddddddddddd The Czech star
has 1,127 assists and is eight behind former Hurricane Paul Coffey for fifth on
that list.For five minutes we let them come back in the game, Gallant said in
his final interview as Florida coach. They scored three goals, and that was
disappointing because we played 55 good minutes tonight, but it wasnt good
enough.Hurricanes forward Jordan Staal sustained an upper-body injury in the
first period and did not return.Florida took a 2-0 lead in the first period,
outshooting the Hurricanes 16-9.Marchessault scored at 5:41 on a power play,
picking up his 10th of the season when he followed Jagrs shot to beat Leighton.
The goal broke Carolinas NHL-best streak of 25 consecutive penalties
killed.Ekblad followed at 9:51, with Barkov earning an assist.Stalberg cut the
lead in half at 5:21 of the second, beating Reimer glove-side.At 7:12, Skinner
tied it on a breakaway, taking a lead pass from Rask and roofing the puck past
Reimer glove side. And then at 8:49, Ryan scored his first goal of the season, a
power-play marker with the assist from Skinner after Ryan won a faceoff.Its a
big win, Skinner said. The last couple of games weve been right there and havent
really found the way to get the result. Tonight after the first period we had a
good response. We found a way to dig deep and get the result.Game notes Florida
