Sean Maitland believes Scotland are starting to hit all the right notes because they now have the X factor.The winger says the likes of Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg and new centre Huw Jones have the talent to unlock any defence.Jones in particular has quickly proven himself to be game-changer in his first two Test starts.He scored a brace against Australia last week and followed up with a sublime assist for Maitlands try during Saturdays narrow 19-16 win over Argentina.Vern Cotters men have one final autumn international against Georgia next week before they turn their attentions to the RBS 6 Nations but Maitland is already excited about what lies ahead.X factor players you would probably call them, the Saracens back said when asked about the likes of Russell, Hogg and Jones.I think our back line, the cohesion and the synergy, is getting top class. Hopefully well have Duncy (Duncan Taylor) coming back from injury soon so there is going to be a lot of competition in our midfield and our back three as well so its only going to be healthy for Scottish rugby.Im sure Vern will have some difficult decisions coming up for the Six Nations.Scotland looked to be in trouble against the Pumas after allowing Matias Orlando to score the opening try 10 minutes into the second half. But Jones produced a stunning off-load to put Maitland in for a touchdown in the corner as Scotland hit back immediately.With the scores locked at 16-16, skipper Greig Laidlaw thought he had allowed a crucial win to slip through his grasp when he smashed a penalty against the post two minutes from time. But he was given another chance deep into stoppage time and made it count as he knocked over the winning kick.Maitland, though, paid tribute to Jones for providing the spark Scotland needed.He said: Our outside backs didnt really see too much ball. Its was just one of those games where you only get a few chances and Huw made something out of nothing. He had the vision to see me on the outside and get me in for a little lollipop try so its always good to get over the line and score.The conditions were really difficult. We always knew it was going to be one of those tight games but we hung in there.In the first half we lost a lot of ball to the conditions. But we played better in the second half.The win now moves Cotters men above Argentina in the world rankings and up to eighth. That could yet prove crucial to Scotlands 2019 World Cup hopes but it also restored belief after they lost to a similarly late kick against the Wallabies the week before.Weve talked about the Australia game all week and how we respond to setbacks, said Maitland.The big thing was not to panic when Argentina scored. There was plenty of time on the clock and we were only a converted try behind.The main thing was that Greig got the boys around him and made sure we just started again.We composed ourselves really well. There are always momentum shifts throughout a game and after the try it came back to us.We started hammering their line and its good to finally come out on the other side of a tight game.Cotter will likely give some of his fringe men the chance to impress against the Georgians at Kilmarnocks Rugby Park next Saturday.After that, the New Zealander will have five games left to shape his Scotland legacy before handing over the reins to Gregor Townsend. And Maitland admits his players are determined to give him a positive send-off.Everyone is a bit gutted that Verns leaving but thats footy, he said.Its a business at the end of the day and we want to leave him on a high. Weve developed our own brand under Vern of how we want to play the game and were improving game by game. Cheap Custom Clippers Jersey .

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. ATHENS, Ga. -- Tennessee works on the play every week in practice, just in case.Throw it up and hope for the best.It couldnt have worked out any better: a Hail Mary that gave the Volunteers their most improbable comeback yet.Jauan Jennings hauled in a 43-yard pass from Joshua Dobbs on the final play, leaving No. 11 Tennessee with a stunning 34-31 victory over No. 25 Georgia after the Bulldogs appeared to win the game on a long TD pass of their own with 10 seconds remaining Saturday.It was a crazy play, stuff you dream about, Dobbs said.In all, the teams combined for three touchdowns in the final 3 minutes.The Vols (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) rallied from a double-digit deficit for the fourth time in five games, but none of the others were like this. Not even close. The SEC East rivals packed a whole games worth of action into a back-and-forth ending, starting with Tennessee going ahead for the first time all afternoon by recovering a Georgia fumble in the end zone with 2:56 to go.Then it was the Bulldogs (3-2, 1-2), going ahead when Jacob Eason tossed a 47-yard touchdown pass to fellow freshman Riley Ridley.With the Sanford Stadium crowd celebrating like their team had won, Tennessee took the kickoff into position to take one shot at the end zone.Dobbs hurled a towering pass that the 6-foot-3 Jennings didnt really have that much trouble bringing down . He leaped above the scrum to make the catch, and then landed on his back as everyone on the Tennessee bench charged the field to celebrate.I just know to go get it, Jennings said.While the Vols whooped it up with their small, orange-clad contingent in a corner of the Sanford Stadium, Georgia straggled off the field in disbelief.Ive never been part of something like that, said Greg Pyke, a senior offensive lineman. We won the game. Then, next thing you know, we lost the game. Its heartbreaking.Georgias early 17-0 lead had been trimmed to 24-21 when Eason dropped back to pass from his own end zone, tried to pull the ball down and was crushed by two Tennessee defenders, Derek Barnett and Cortez McDowell. The ball came loose and Corey Vereen fell on it for a touchdown.That wound up being an afterthought.Eason had another turnover, this one an interception by Malik Foreman, but Georgia used a couple of its timeouts, held defensively and got the ball back again. This time, the young quarterback came through, quickly driving the Bulldogs past midfield and finding Ridley streaking behind two defenders dowwn the left sideline.ddddddddddddBut Tennessee still had time, especially after an excessive celebration penalty forced the Bulldogs to kick off from their own 20.Evan Berrys 20-yard return got the Vols in range to throw one up. When Jennings brought it down, Tennessee coach Butch Jones sank to his knees, overcome with emotion, while Vols running back Alvin Kamara sprawled out on his back, seemingly in disbelief.We have the most competitive team in the nation, Dobbs said. Theres no quit in this team.THE TAKEAWAYTennessee: The Vols have gained a commanding position in the SEC East with back-to-back victories over Florida and Georgia, likely to be their two leading challengers in the division race. That not only puts Tennessee ahead in the standings, but provides a tiebreaker edge that could come in handy at the end of the season.Georgia: The Bulldogs have now lost two in a row in the SEC, a huge blow to their hopes of contending for a division championship in Kirby Smarts first season as coach. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back from such a devastating loss.CHUBBS ANKLEGeorgia running back Nick Chubb suited up after spraining his ankle in a 45-14 loss to Ole Miss.He got in the game on the Bulldogs second possession, running for a 3-yard gain while the crowd cheered wildly.That would be his only carry.Sony Michel started and finished with 91 yards on 16 carries, while freshman Brian Herrien ran 15 times for 77 yards.POLL IMPLICATIONSTennessee could move back into the Top 10, while Georgia is sure to tumble out of the rankings for the first time this season when The Associated Press poll comes out Sunday. The Bulldogs barely hung on to the final spot after their big loss at Ole Miss.UP NEXTTennessee: The Vols are facing their third straight game against a ranked opponent, and another tough one on the road, when they travel to College Station to take on No. 9 Texas A&M (5-0). It doesnt get any easier after that, either. No. 1 Alabama visits Neyland Stadium on Oct. 15, finishing off the toughest part of Tennessees schedule.Georgia: The Bulldogs hit the road to face another SEC East rival, South Carolina (2-3, 1-3).---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
