BATON ROUGE, La. -- Dwayne Thomas has watched his LSU team blow late leads each of the past two times Alabama visited Tiger Stadium. The senior defensive back has no intention of allowing that to happen in his final shot against the Crimson Tide.?Even more, he feels like the Tigers defense can dominate the offense of the nations top-ranked team Nov. 5.?I just feel like this is the year, Thomas said before Wednesdays practice. Weve been letting them off the hook for the last couple of years. This is my senior year. Were going out with a bang and its time for us to bring that win back. And were going to be at home. I feel like we have the edge to take it to them, and were going to take it to them and I feel like were just going to dominate this game.Alabamas overall winning streak in the series is five games.?Although Crimson Tide freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts has been exceptional, becoming a Heisman Trophy candidate for the nations top-ranked team, Thomas reminded reporters that Hurts has yet to play at Tiger Stadium -- or against LSUs resurgent defense.The Tigers handled Ole Miss and all-SEC quarterback Chad Kelly last Saturday, shutting out an opponent in the second half for the second straight week. Thomas believes they can do the same to Hurts.After hitting him a couple times, most quarterbacks dont like to get hit, Thomas said. They start making mistakes after that, and then with the tight coverage that were going to have on the back end, hes not going to want to go to some of his favorite targets. Thats all we have to do. I really see us dominating this offense. I really see us dominating this team.Thomas realizes predicting his team will dominate an opponent that has won three of the past five national titles will create a stir. The knowledge that his comments could be posted throughout Alabamas locker room didnt seem to bother him.We put stuff up, too, over here, Thomas said. If that helps to motivate, if that helps motivate them, then so be it. We know what motivates us, and thats we want that No. 1 thats next to their [name]. We want it. We want it next to our LSU.The Crimson Tide have pulled out late wins in their past two trips to Tiger Stadium.In 2012, Alabama scored the winning touchdown with 51 seconds remaining. And in 2014, Alabama hit a field goal with 3 seconds left to force overtime.Those are some great [Alabama] teams also, Thomas said. But this year, I feel like were not going to put ourself in harms way to give them anything. We dont turn the ball over on offense and we get turnovers on defense and we make first- and second-down stops, we should come out on top in this game. Ricky Rubio Jersey .

Timberwolves Jerseys 2021 . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Stitched Timberwolves Jerseys . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. MINNEAPOLIS -- Michael Ynoa hadnt pitched in nearly two weeks and had just walked Max Kepler to load the bases in the bottom of the ninth.And when Ynoa missed high with a pitch that nearly went over Brian Doziers head, the White Sox seemed doomed to lose in dramatic fashion for the second straight night.But then Dozier popped out to third to end the inning, Dioner Navarro hit a go-ahead double in the 10th, and the White Sox beat the Twins 6-5 Saturday night to give Ynoa (1-0) his first win this season.You start getting a little deja vu of last night, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said, referring to Friday nights loss in which Tommy Kahnle walked Joe Mauer for the game-winning run in the 12th.He was able to come through. Its always special when a guy gets his first win.Or when a team breaks a three-game skid.Avisail Garcia hit a leadoff double against Fernando Abad (1-4) in the 10th, and then scored easily when Navarro drove a fastball from Abad to the left-field corner for his third hit of the ninth. Navarro entered the game batting .200.Dios had a long run of games in a row, Ventura said. Its just nice to see him get after it.Minnesota was one out from completing a comeback win when Melky Cabreras two-out single in the ninth scored Tim Anderson to make it 5-all heading into the bottom half. The Twins nearly pulled off their second walkoff win in two nights.This guy hasnt pitched in I dont know how long, Navarro said, and he comes in, started the inning kind of shaky with a double and then gets out of it. . He kept us in the game.David Robertson pitched the 10th for his 25th save.Justin Morneau homered and hit an RBI double against his old team, and Cabrera also drove in two against Twins starter Tommy Milone, who looked sharp early before yielding hits to five of his final seven batters.Eduardo Escobar hit a two-out, three-run homer in the eighth off Matt Albers to put the Twins up 5-4. But Brandon Kintzler blew his first save opportunity in nine chances on Cabreras third RBI of the night.Its a disappointing game, but its entertaining, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.GONZALEZ ROLLSAlbers and Dan Jennings failed to hold onto a two-run lead in the eighth, wasting a solid seven-innning performance by starter Miguel Gonzalez.dddddddddddd. Gonzalez scattered six hits, struck out five and lasted seven innings for third time this month. His 114 pitches were a season high. Minnesotas only run against him the first six innings came in a three-error third that saw Byron Buxton flash his impressive speed on the base paths.Throwing seven innings, its really important for us starters, he said.MORNEAUS NIGHTFormer Twins MVP Morneau went 2-for-5 and hit his second homer of the season in the sixth on a 3-1 pitch off Milone that traveled 402 feet into the left-field seats to make it 4-1.
