Die Allianz T-D-P » athletic director Joe Alleva wanted Miles out la

NAPLES, Fla. -- Harris English and Matt Kuchar shot a 6-under 66 in windy modified alternate shot play Friday to take the second-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.English and Kuchar were at 21 under at Tiburon after opening with a 57 on Thursday in the scramble round. They won in 2013 in their first start together and finished second the last two years.Alternate shots always a tricky format. If you would have told us 6 under bogey-free in todays conditions, wed take that straightaway, Kuchar said. Id be surprised if another group was bogey-free today. It was good golf. I dont remember a hole being nervous that we might walk away with a bogey. Every hole we kind of had a chance and it was a good, fun round of golf.The event ends Sunday with a better-ball round.We would have the same game plan tomorrow whether were up four or up one, Kuchar said. You have to keep plodding away having two chances at birdies. You keep trying to make pars out here and these guys are going to catch you and pass you.Wisconsin friends Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly were a stroke back after a 68. The 49-year-old Stricker is teaming with the 50-year-old Kelly for the record eighth time. They won in 2009, and Kelly also won with Rod Pampling in 2006.Its just a hard day, its hard, Stricker said. Im driving it out there a little past him, so hes hitting all the irons and its just difficult. Its just a difficult position to put him in every hole and Im just sitting back watching him hitting the irons. Its tough. You dont want to make a mistake, hit it in the water or plug it in a bunker, but its going to happen. Its just a difficult day. Its hard to get any momentum at all. You feel like youre just clawing and scratching your way around.Charles Howell III-Rory Sabbatini (69) and Kevin Chappell-Kevin Kisner (68) were 16 under. Defending champions Jason Dufner and Brandt Snedeker were seventh at 14 under after a 70.Lexi Thompson and Bryson DeChambeau were 10th at 11 under after a 71. Thompson is the second woman to compete in the event, following Annika Sorenstam with Fred Couples in 2006. Mattia De Sciglio Juventus Jersey .

Mattia De Sciglio Jersey . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. Miralem Pjanic Juventus Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team. The first half of the 2016 college football featured the emergence of a new star quarterback, the re-emergence of an old Pac-12 power and the end of an era at LSU.Texas is back! Nope.Houston to the playoff! Nah.Tom Herman to LSU? Tom Herman to Texas? Tom Herman to the Chicago Bears? This, unfortunately, has only just begun.With seven weeks of the season in the books, we assess the best and the worst of the first half.---MOST SURPRISING UNDEFEATED TEAMNo. 6 Texas A&MThe Aggies were unranked and appeared to be an unsettled program to start the season. Assistant coaches made offseason headlines for the wrong reasons . The five-star quarterbacks had fled and were replaced by former inconsistent Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight. There is no more hot-seat talk about coach Kevin Sumlin as the Aggies head to No. 1 Alabama for a game that could decide the SEC West on Saturday. There is still potential for things to go sideways for Sumlin and the Aggies, but so far A&M has replaced the swag with substance.---MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAMNotre DameThere are some serious candidates here. Oregon, but the Ducks were showing signs for crashing coming into 2016. Michigan State, but the Spartans were probably due for a reset season. Notre Dame, however, is a big hot mess . Seven games in and coach Brian Kelly has fired his defensive coordinator and created an unnecessary quarterback controversy. Even allowing the Fighting Irish some leeway for over inflated expectations, 2-5 and scrambling to get bowl eligible is unacceptable.---BEST COACHING JOB-HEAD COACHNick Saban, Alabama, and Urban Meyer, Ohio State.We often reward the coaches who exceed expectations and do the most with the least. Thats all well and good, but sustained excellence is really where its at. No. 1 Alabama won the national championship last year and is better this season with a freshman quarterback . No. 2 Ohio State lost one of the great NFL draft classes from one school of all time and the Buckeyes have not missed a beat.---BEST COACHING JOB-COORDINATORJustin Wilcox, defensive coordinator, Wisconsin.Could go back to Alabama for Lane Kiffin or Ohio State for Greg Schiano, but Wilcox is the pick as he re-establishes himself as one of the better defensive coordinators in the country. He took over a well-stocked group after Dave Aranda left for LSU, but the 10th-ranked Badgers are as feisty as ever.---BEST TURNAROUNDColoradoIt has been a long hard road back to relevance for the Buffaloes, but Mike MacIntyre has Boulder interested in its college football team again. CU has not won more than six games since 2004 and had just two Pac-12 victories in MacIntyres first three seasons. Now the Buffs (5-2) are a win away from bowl eligibility and 3-1 in conference with a legit chance to take the Pac-12 South. Props also to defensive coordinator and former USF coach Jim Leavitt for the most improved part of the team.---BREAKOUT PLAYER-OFFENSE (not named Lamar Jackson)Dede Westbrook, WR, OklahomaLots of good candidates here among receeivers, most notably Cals Chad Hansen and Syracuses Amba Etta-Tawo.ddddddddddddWestbrook was the Big 12s offensive newcomer of the year last year so its not as if he is coming out of nowhere. His recent surge (26 catches for 574 yards), though, has him playing like an All-American and he has already surpassed last years numbers for receptions and yards.---BREAKOUR PLAYER-DEFENSEJoe Mathis, LB, WashingtonMathis has gone from solid player to an absolute force for the fifth-ranked Huskies in his senior season. He has already topped his career total for sacks with five and nearly doubled his career tackles for loss with 7.5 this season. Oregon coaches could still be searching game tape for play in which the Ducks handled Mathis.---BEST GAMEClemson 42, Louisville 36.Two great quarterbacks doing spectacular things. Talented players everywhere. Huge swings in emotion and momentum. Comebacks on both sides and clutch performances . All played in one of the best venues in college football. And it came down to 1 yard. Sure it was sloppy at times, but so much fun.---WORST GAMEMichigan 78, Rutgers 0Maybe the most noncompetitive conference game in the last 25 years of college football.---WORST OFFICIATINGThe officials who worked the Central Michigan-Oklahoma State.It is one thing to blow a judgment call. It is quite another to badly misinterpret a rule and that have that mistake cost a team a game. Both the MAC officials on the field and Big 12 replay officials earned suspensions.---WORST FIRINGLes Miles, LSULSU athletic director Joe Alleva wanted Miles out last season, but botched it and allowed Miles to gain a groundswell of support. So at first chance this season, after an ugly loss at Auburn dropped the Tigers to 2-2, Alleva canned Miles before the coach could go out and save himself again. It was time for a change in Baton Rouge. And if handled properly it could have been done 10 months earlier.---HOT-SEAT COACHESCooling contractsMark Stoops, Kentucky. Has a $12 million buyout. With assistants, firing him could cost more than $17 million .Steve Addazio, Boston College.
