LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables has won the Broyles Award, given annually to the top assistant coach in college football.Venables was a finalist for the third time for the award, which is named after former Arkansas coach Frank Broyles.The 45-year-old helped the Tigers (12-1) return to the College Football Playoff for a second straight year this season, guiding a defense that was ninth in the country while allowing an average of 313.9 yards per game. He did so despite losing seven defensive starters from a season ago, when Clemson lost to Alabama in the national championship game.The second-seeded Tigers face Ohio State in the semifinals at the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31.Other finalists included Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt, Colorado defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, Michigan defensive coordinator Dan Brown and Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Matt Canada.Duane Starks Jersey .

He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record.CONCORD, N.C. -- Of the 12 drivers remaining in NASCARs playoffs, the odds makers have ranked Austin Dillon last in the championship race.Very few expected him to make it out of the first round. Only he did make the cut, and now Dillon intends to creep even further into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.I like this role, Dillon said of being a longshot, `because it puts the pressure on the guys that I guess are projected to make it to the next round -- whatever projections mean.This is Dillons debut in the Chase and he went into last weekends elimination race at Dover in danger of being bounced from the field. But he stepped up with a strong eighth-place finish -- his first top-10 in six weeks -- and advanced into the round of 12.Hell start 19th on Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the opening race of the second round of the Chase. Rain from Hurricane Matthew washed out all track activity on Friday, but Dillon, like most teams, used Thursday to prepare for the race.We had a good car in practice. We just missed our balance a little bit in qualifying, Dillon said. Well be fine. Im really happy with our Chevrolet.Although his results have been mediocre -- Dillon was 14th at Chicago in the Chase opener, then 16th at New Hampshire -- he did what he had to do at Dover while the drivers ahead of him in the standings struggled.Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson didnt make the round of 12, and Dillon capitalized with his Richard Childress Racing team. He has no doubt it can happen again in the second round, which includes Charlotte, Kansas and Talladega Superspeedway.ddddddddddddYou just never know what can happen in a race and you never know what the outcome will be, he said. There is so much that goes into every little piece and part of these cars. Im confident in the company I drive for with RCR and the people around me, myself also, that we can make strong finishes and that is what Im confident about. I love the underdog role because that means when we do knock people out, its going to be fulfilling.Dillon could surprise some at Charlotte, where he finished seventh in this race a year ago. The RCR organization is also accustomed to working the system of the Chase to its benefit.Ryan Newman two years ago advanced into the championship race through points racing instead of chasing wins. Dillon understands theres a strategy that can be followed for success in the Chase. Everyone wants to get through Charlotte and Kansas next week in solid shape to not have their fate decided at Talladega.As the only RCR driver in the Chase, hes got the organization behind him.I had multiple guys come up to me in the shop this week telling me how proud they were and proud to be a part of RCR, Dillon said. You saw what Ryan Newman was able to do a couple of years ago and go to Homestead. (Newman crew chief) Luke Lambert came up to me and said, `Man, you guys are built for this just like we made our run. I hope we can back it up and keep ourselves relevant. ' ' '
