FORT WORTH, Texas --?TCU?coach Gary Patterson has a deadline in mind for deciding his quarterback battle between Kenny Hill and Foster Sawyer.Patterson said Wednesday during TCUs preseason media day hell name his starter around 10 days before the Horned Frogs season opener against?South Dakota State.If its before then, because it becomes very obvious who it is, then itll be before then, Patterson said. You have to name a guy about nine or 10 days out. You cant go any later than that.Patterson said his coaching staff traditionally breaks from fall camp and shifts its attention to the first game plan on the Wednesday before the seasons opening week, which would be Aug. 24. That gives Hill and Sawyer three weeks to prove who is the better candidate to replace former Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Trevone Boykin.Hill, a?Texas A&M?transfer who sat out last season, was named the Big 12s preseason Newcomer of the Year by conference media last month. But TCU coaches have not named him the front-runner.You just go in and try to get better every day, Hill said. Im just trying to play the best I can and be consistent, thats the biggest thing. Be consistent from day to day and just keep growing as a player every day.Sawyer, a sophomore who started one game last season, is entering his third year in the program and says he and Hill will support each other no matter who emerges as the starter.I just focus on the team and the task at hand, and thats to win championships, Sawyer said.TCU co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie said the battle between Hill and Sawyer is 50-50 in his mind, and closer than many might think.Both of them are really motivated, Cumbie said. This summer, you could tell theres a difference in how they approached the weight room and throwing. Foster is bigger, throws the ball really well, moves around well. Kenny is a little more elusive but is still accurate, gets the ball out of his hand quickly.Patterson said he knows that no matter who wins the starting job, the Horned Frogs will need both passers to be ready to lead the offense. Nine out of 10 Big 12 teams dealt with injuries at the quarterback position last season. The lone exception,?Iowa State, benched its starter at midseason.You watch everybody in the league, you cant just have one quarterback and win a championship around this place, Patterson said. Nobody was able to do that last year.Patterson has said TCUs battle will be decided by how each QB performs in scrimmage situations this month. Co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham said he is confident his players are comfortable being led by either passer. Both quarterbacks have shown they can lead. Itll come down to which one is more efficient.We judge a quarterback -- Ive said it once, and Ill say it 100 times -- does he make everybody else better when he steps on the field? Patterson said. Does the offense move better? Doesnt have to be the best athlete. Has to be the guy that makes everybody else go.Whoever makes everybody else go will be the guy that will start it all off. And hopefully well have two of them. Camiseta De Luka Modric Real Madrid . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus.

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Camiseta Isco España . The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. Camiseta Marcelo . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas left guard Lael Collins will be placed on injured reserve with a possible return late in the season because of a right toe injury, a person with knowledge of the injury said Monday.Collins left late in the first half of Sunday nights 31-17 win over Chicago with a toe injury. Speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details of the injury werent released, the person said Collins has a ligament injury on his right big toe.Putting Collins on IR opens a roster spot for the Cowboys while giving Collins a chance to return to practice in six weeks and play in a game after eight weeks. He could return on Thanksgiving against Washington.Dallas played the second half against the Bears without the starting left side of its line. Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith was inactive with a back injury. But Collins replacement is former starter Ron Leary, who lost his job to Collins last season.Receiver Dez Bryant sprained his right knee on his first catch early against the Bears but returned and caught a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Coach Jason Garrett said there was no update on Bryants status.If Bryant is out for any length of time, it will be the second straight year that hes been sidelined. Last season, he broke his right foot in the opener, missed five games and wasnt the same the rest of the season while he also battled ankle issues.The Cowboys sat Bryant the last two games in 2015 because they were out of contention on their way to a 4-12 finish.Bryant appeared to injjure his right ankle when he was tackled awkwardly after the first-quarter catch against the Bears.dddddddddddd He missed several plays while he was checked out on the sideline, and the knee injury was announced. He didnt appear in the locker room when it was open to reporters after the game.Hes an incredibly tough individual, Garrett said. Hes mentally tough and hes physically tough and he demonstrates that to us almost on a daily and a weekly basis. I think we saw that again last night, we saw it last year.Smith missed a game for just the second time in his six-year career, and second-year player Chaz Green made his first career start in Smiths spot. Leary appeared in just four games last year after starting 31 of 32 games the previous two seasons.The Cowboys rushed for a season-high 199 yards, including the first 100-yard game for rookie fourth-overall pick Ezekiel Elliott (140 yards on 30 carries). Dallas has seven rushing touchdowns after finishing with eight last season.I thought in general our offensive line played particularly well, Garrett said. (Collins) goes down the first half, Ron Leary comes in, so you got two guys having to play and working on the left-hand side. Those guys were prepared for their opportunity and they handled it well.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
