(STATS) -- The Southern Conferences two best teams will beat you in different ways. The Citadels bread and butter is its death-by-a-thousand-paper-cuts triple option while Chattanooga will spread things out, equally content to run or throw.The team thats lurking as the SoCons challenger to those contenders has an entirely different idea in mind: Take to the air and get down the field -- fast.Samford has been one of the most one-dimensional offenses in the country so far, but Devlin Hodges has been so good spreading the ball around that an almost complete lack of a running game hasnt hindered Chris Hatchers team.The offense, known as the Hatch Attack, is working thanks to its sophomore signal caller.Hodges took over midway through his redshirt freshman season in 2015 after starter Michael Eubank went down, and the results were promising right away. He tossed 11 touchdowns and three interceptions while starting the Bulldogs final five games, completing 70.4 percent of his throws while averaging a whopping 44.6 pass attempts and 345.4 yards per game. Throw in 303 rushing yards and it looked like Samford had a dual-threat QB for three years to come.He hasnt had nearly that success on the ground through the first four games of his sophomore season -- the Bulldogs are 118th of 125 FCS teams in yards per carry (2.5) and 121st in yards per game (68.0), but that hasnt held them back. Twelve of Samfords 20 scoring drives have taken less than two minutes, with four coming in a minute or less.The Hatch Attack mandate is simple: Get the ball to the talented receiving trio of Emmanuel Obajimi, Kelvin McKnight and Karel Hamilton and get out of the way.This offense is built for me, Hodges said last month. My job is to get the ball to the wide receivers as fast as I can and let them make plays. As long as I can get them the ball, Im confident that they are going to make plays and get yards after the catch. We have a great chemistry.Hodges has upped his completion percentage to an FCS-best 73.3, though thats perhaps not too surprising given the quick-release nature of the Bulldogs offense. His 10.37 yards per completion rank just 93rd of 114 qualifying QBs.There might be an opportunity to take some more shots downfield against Furman (0-5, 0-2). The Paladins have seen only 66 passes hit the air so far this season -- the next-lowest total in the FCS is Columbias 86, and the Lions have played three games -- but those throws have yielded a subdivision-high 11.32 yard per attempt.The bulk of the damage, though, has been done on the ground. Furmans opponents have averaged 46 carries per contest and 5.0 yards per tote -- maybe enough of a reason to believe theres hope yet for Samfords running game to get going. Should Hurricane Matthew dump a lot of rain on Greenville, South Carolina, prior to or during Saturdays contest, it may need to.I think we need to get better in all phases, especially in the running game, offensive coordinator Russ Callaway said Wednesday. We have to do a better job, out wide, of blocking. We have to do a better job of inside blocking. We have to do a better job with the running backs, the quarterbacks, really everybody. But, obviously, improvement in the running game would be huge for us.Furmans record looks unsightly, but the quality of the Paladins competition is hard to ignore. The were in a one-score game midway through the fourth quarter at Michigan State in the opener. They led at The Citadel until the final two minutes, lost by a touchdown to Chattanooga and were undone by turnovers and special teams at Coastal Carolina. Furmans worst performance came in last Saturdays 52-42 loss to option-heavy Kennesaw State -- the Paladins trailed 49-14 at the half -- but theyll be facing an entirely different type of offense this week.Theyve had a great deal of bad luck this season, Hatcher said.Samford lost both games against the SoCons resident powerhouses last season, and came up empty in its first test in this one, falling 41-21 at Chattanooga on Sept. 24. The Bulldogs schedule looks pretty manageable over the next few weeks before an Oct. 29 trip to Mississippi State, though. The big one lies a week later with a visit to The Citadel that could make or break Samfords shot at a playoff spot.But dont expect Samford to look past Furman. The Paladins came from 17-0 down at halftime to stun the Bulldogs 20-17 on Jon Croft Hollingsworths field goal as time expired last Oct. 31.You can never underestimate anyone, Samford defensive back Marquis McCullum said. Especially teams that have struggled early on in the season.Theyre always looking for that next opportunity to get them going to where they want to be.Nike Air Jordan Uk Sale .J.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.

The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15.LANDOVER, Md. -- Vernon Davis can retire his jump shot, but the rest of his all-around game comes in handy for the Washington Redskins.The veteran tight end caught a touchdown pass as the Redskins (4-2) won their fourth in a row, and he could be counted on to start again next Sunday at the Detroit Lions (3-3) if Jordan Reed misses another game. Reed is out with a concussion, his sixth documented one in his college and pro career.Davis isnt Reed, especially at 32, but he showed against the Philadelphia Eagles that he can fill in when necessary. Quarterback Kirk Cousins said it was no surprise how well Davis played in his first start since signing with his hometown team.He still has elite speed, hes a great blocker, Cousins said. While Jordan is one of our best players and helps make our offense go, credit Vernon Davis for enabling our offense to stay at a high level today with the way he played.Davis was flagged for excessive celebration after his touchdown for shooting the football like a basketball, which he didnt know was a penalty.That will never, ever, ever happen again, Davis said.Along with the 13-yard TD, Davis had a 37-yard reception as the Redskins balanced their offense to compensate for not having their top receiving target. Pierre Garcon had six catches for 77 yards, DeSean Jackson four catches for 55 yards, and Jamison Crowder three catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.Third-string tight end Niles Paul got more snaps than usual, too, but the onus was on Davis to fill Reeds spot. Davis, who won the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos last season, said the only thing that changed in his preparation was making sure his stamina was good to play an entire game.Whatever they need me to do -- whether its blocking, catching passes, Ill do it, Davis said. Ill do it full speed and give it my all.Here are other things we learned from the Redskins 27-20 victory over the Eagles:`AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE: Already on a two-game skid, the Eagles (3-2) now get to face the NFLs lone unbeaten team, the Minnesota Vikings (5-0), coming off their bye, when the teams meet at Philadelphia next Sunday. It doesnt get much easier after that, with games at divisioon rivals Dallas and the Giants, and then games against a trio of the NFCs elite: Atlanta, Seattle and Green Bay.dddddddddddd.The schedule gets aggressive fast, Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks said.RUN FAST, YOUNG MEN: Alfred Morris, who? The Redskins seem to have found their groove in the running game with Matt Jones, Robert Kelley and Chris Thompson mixing up things.The trio combined for 231 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles as coach Jay Gruden and offensive coordinator Sean McVay have figured out how to maximize those backs different talents. Gruden called Jones a big plugger, and Kelley a great changeup.I think just us three guys coming together and believing in ourselves and going out there and doing things we know we can do, Kelly said. Thats why they got us here.ROUGH GOING, ROOK: Carson Wentz knows that defenses he faces the rest of the way have plenty of game video to watch and use for planning purposes.These are going to be great learning lessons for Carson, being able to mature as a quarterback, Eagles coach Doug Pederson said.After Wentz went 11 for 22 for 179 yards, directing an offense that produced a grand total of six points all afternoon against Washington, he acknowledged: Ive got to be better, especially late in the game.The Redskins might have provided a blue print for other Philadelphia opponents to follow. As Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan put it after getting two of his teams five sacks: We just knew we had to get pressure in his face.NOT MUCH DEFENSE: The Eagles defense needs to figure out ways to stop the run and get off the field on third downs. They gave up 230 yards on the ground on 33 carries, and allowed Washington to convert more than half of its third-down attempts, 7 of 13. Were not that good, where we can just go out there and show up, safety Malcolm Jenkins said, and just think were going to have success because of what weve done in the past.---AP Pro Football Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
