CLEMSON, S.C. -- So far, so good -- and Clemsons young defenders have been better than expected.Thats the word on the Tigers young defenders after one game. They were among the teams major questions marks entering the season, but showed against Auburn they may just turn out as worthy successors to the some of the Tigers recently highly touted defenses.No. 2 Clemson (1-0) held Auburn to 262 yards, including just 87 on the ground with new faces like Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence and Kendall Joseph in the lineup.As a group, we were definitely nervous, said Ferrell, who made three tackles in his starting debut at defensive end. Hey, weve been working for this moment and now its finally here. So it was like, its time to put on a show.Clemson will try and keep the show going Saturday at home against Troy (1-0).Lawrence, the countrys No. 2 high school prospect last year from Wake Forest, North Carolina, had a sack among his seven tackles in his first college game. Middle linebacker Joseph, who took over for last years leading tackler B.J. Goodson, led Clemson with 10 stops, including three behind the line of scrimmage, at Auburn.It was not supposed to come together so quickly for Clemson. The defense figured to be a work in progress with eight starters (five of them drafted by the NFL after leaving school early) to replace from last years run to the national championship game.Then again, with an offense led by Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Deshaun Watson and featuring an assortment of talented skill players, there was a sense that Clemson didnt need much defense anyway.Against Auburn, it was the new-look, fresh-faced defense that saved the Tigers. Another new starter, safety Jadar Johnson, knocked down two Hail Mary tries into the end zone to preserve the win.Were really just doing our job, holding down our side of the ball, Joseph said. Supporting our offense and getting a win.Lawrence, at 6-foot-5, 340 pounds, is the biggest new piece of the puzzle and picked up Clemsons first sack of the season soon after getting in.I knew I was a big strong guy and I could move, he said. I felt like I could make an impact for the team.Ferrell said they all understand the shoes theyve got to fill.Three of Clemsons last four starting defensive ends in Vic Beasley, Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd are in the NFL. The Tigers were No. 1 in the country in 2014 in fewest yards allowed and were 10th overall in last years run to the national championship game. Lawson and Dodd were 1-2 nationally in tackles for loss.Coming into the season, even before camp started, we had a really big chip on our shoulders, Ferrell said. We know, yeah we lost a lot of guys. But its college football so its next man up.Brent Venables , Clemson defensive coordinator, acknowledged he was hard on the group in camp, prepping them as fast as he could to speed development. And he was happy with the results in game one.Im just really pleased with the effort and the overall execution, Venables said. For a lot of guys, that was their first start. They really played disciplined and thats just not normal.Ferrell is a rangy, 6-5, 255-pounder in the mold past Clemson standouts at the position like the late Gaines Adams and Dodd. He redshirted last season, saying it was difficult at times to be on the sidelines during one of Clemsons most successful seasons.Ferrell said the showing at Auburn is a strong, early statement that there will be no defensive drop off at Clemson.We want to be known as those guys who are not afraid of our chances and make the best of our opportunity, Ferrell said. We want to be known as a great defense this upcoming year.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org .

MOSCOW -- Its been the team of KGB spies, goalkeeping great Lev Yashin and Putin-era state capitalists. Despite its rich history, though, Dynamo Moscow is in deep trouble.Only a few thousand fans braved freezing temperatures to watch Saturdays drab 0-0 draw against the Zenit St. Petersburg reserve team in the Russian second division. Chants echoed around the mostly-empty stadium in a pale imitation of Dynamos fierce rivalry with Zenit, traditionally a major security risk given the animosity between the fans.Until a humbling relegation this year, Dynamo had never dropped out of the Soviet or Russian top division. And for much of its 93-year history, the very idea was impossible given Dynamos powerful political protectors, such as Stalins right-hand man and secret police chief Lavrenty Beria. On the field, Dynamo was renowned for the goalkeeping skills of Yashin -- the Black Spider -- and the innovative passovotchka short-passing style of the post-war years, a prelude to modern tiki-taka.The collapse of the Soviet Union curtailed Dynamos clout, and a solitary Russian Cup title in 1995 has been the only consolation for the 11-time Soviet champions. Still, Dynamo often remained in touching distance of a title, buoyed in recent years by a flood of cash from the state-owned VTB bank.VTB is now in the process of pulling out after years of big spending and few successes, leaving behind debts estimated by Dynamo general director Evgeny Muravyev at 13 billion rubles ($200 million). For a club with small crowds and minimal TV revenue, thats a daunting sum.Muravyev told Russian agency R-Sport this month that Dynamo iss trying to pay off some debts and restructure others but new obligations are piling up related to the fact that we dont have many sources of funding at the moment.dddddddddddd Were not in a great state financially.The cash crisis is serious enough that the government has issued a declaration that it wont allow Dynamo to die.Until recently, Dynamo had been notorious for overspending in the transfer market. After Portugal reached the final of the 2004 European Championship, Dynamo swiftly signed seven Portuguese players, most of whom made little impact, as did former Germany striker Kevin Kuranyi, signed in 2010 for a reported 6 million euros ($6.4 million) a year. All that spending created vast losses, attracting a financial fair play sanction last year from UEFA which barred Dynamo from European competition.A spending plan published by the club earlier this year shows more unusual spending for a struggling club, with $93,000 earmarked in January for a mascot which has yet to appear and up to $140,000 per game budgeted for VIP travel packages.Its not clear, however, how much was spent.Still, not all is lost for Dynamo. The draw against the Zenit reserves ensured that it will go into the winter break in the promotion places. But even if Dynamo makes it back to the Russian Premier League, it will not be the same free-spending Dynamo as before, and wary of repeating the fate of another famed Moscow club, Torpedo, now toiling in the third division after repeated financial problems.
