With the season opener against No. 2 Clemson just nine days away, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn says it was time to name his starting quarterback.So he turned over the job to redshirt sophomore Sean White.Were excited for Sean, Malzahn said. Hes earned it. Hes a guy that has experience in our offense [from] last year. Hes a tough guy. Hes in a good spot. Hes in a good spot to lead this team. The team is going to rally around him. So Im excited for him.I think it will be important that hell have a good full week to work specifically just with the ones. Weve really tried to do a good job of all three guys getting equal opportunities.White was thrust into the starting role last season after a Week 3 loss to LSU and started five straight games before an injury against Arkansas forced him to miss the majority of Auburns final four games. In those five games, White completed 59 percent of his passes and threw for 1,063 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.The former ESPN 300 recruit also started the Birmingham Bowl but gave way to Jeremy Johnson after White threw two interceptions in the first half.White beat out both Johnson, last years opening day starter, and John Franklin III, the top dual-threat quarterback in last years ESPN JC50 rankings, in a competition that began in the spring. It was also the latest Malzahn had ever waited before naming his starting quarterback, as both a head coach and coordinator.I think each individual situation is different, Malzahn said. Thats probably more of a testament to how good the competition was.Malzahn informed White of the news before Thursdays practice.It feels really good, White said. I feel blessed to be in this position, and I feel responsible to lead the team against Clemson. Im happy that coach put that responsibility on me. My teammates believe in me, and I feel like they have a reason to believe in me. I think well be ready to go come Saturday. Air Max Plus Miami Vice .

There was not one single complaint from the boxer, corner, promoter or crowd when Anthony Crolla dropped a tight decision and lost his WBA lightweight title to Jorge Linares in Manchester on Saturday night.Crolla fought the fight of his life and when the final bell sounded he could barely walk or talk, so total was his commitment and draining his exhaustion. It was an odd end, strangely muted considering the closeness of two of the three judges: all three voted in favour of Linares, one of boxings surest operators, and two separated the fighters by just one and two points respectively. It was close, but in many ways it was not even remotely close and that only happens when the best fight the best.It was mesmerising at times watching the brilliant Linares think his way out of corners, counter punch with such speed that trying to count the shots is nearly impossible to the human eye. Crolla, who was defending his WBA lightweight title, kept the first 10 rounds close with a bold performance aimed at breaking the spirit of Linares. It was a good plan but Linares was brilliant, the fighter with all the gifts in front of a sing-a-long crowd led in appreciation, and worship of Crolla from ringside, by Wayne Rooney and Ricky Hatton.There was talk of a rematch in February or March next by Eddie Hearn, the promoter who has guided Crolla from boxings obscure fringes to main attraction at the No. 1 fight venue, but that result is easily foretold: Linares would win again, sorry to report. Crollas chance of beating the Venezuelan was in this fight when he had momentum.Linares had been out of the ring for 11 long months with an injured hand and the home crowd would play their part. There was simply nothing more Crolla could hhave done and he can shake off his stiffness this week with pride.ddddddddddddThe fight with Linares, a world champion at three weights, was a huge risk for Crolla and its announcement put an end to all talk of a partial unification with WBO lightweight champion Terry Flanagan. The Flanagan fight was draped in plenty of cash -- there was an offer of ￡700,000 for Crolla from Flanagans promoter, Frank Warren -- and perhaps Crollas thinking was that beating Linares would increase his financial power at the negotiating table for a Flanagan fight in the future. That advantage has gone, but the fight remains.The defeat now means that in three consecutive September Saturdays five British boxers have lost in world title fights, three were stopped and two lost their world titles, which reduces the total number of British boxers currently holding a version of the world title to 11. The figure, still a record high, includes welterweight Kell Brook, who looks unlikely to ever make the limit again after his trip to middleweight to fight Gennady Golovkin.Hearn, however, was right when he added: It shows the world that British boxers are not afraid to take big fights; they have all dared to be great -- Kell (Brook), Liam (Smith) last week in Texas and Ant tonight. They all went for big fights.Before the end of November Anthony Joshua, Ricky Burns, Tony Bellew, Billy Joe Saunders, Flanagan and a couple of other British world champions will try and defend their titles and end the losing sequence. They will not all succeed, but it is doubtful if any will lose with as much dignity and pride as Crolla. ' ' '
