SMU coach Chad Morris is still looking for a signature win to jump-start the Mustangs program. An upset of No. 11 Houston would certainly qualify.SMU hosts the Cougars on Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas. The Mustangs have lost three in a row, including an emotionally-draining 43-40 overtime defeat to Tulsa two weeks ago.It was as hurt as Ive seen the locker room (after the Tulsa loss) since Ive been here in 18 games, Morris said during his Monday press conference. I firmly believe this program is exceptionally close, extremely close. We just need a break.SMU (2-4, 0-2 AAC) had a bye week to get over the loss, but theres still plenty to fix if the Mustangs are to knock off the talented Cougars. Tulsa rushed for 315 yards against the Mustangs, who are 91st against the run, surrendering 195 yards on the ground per game. They are last in the AAC in total defense.It demoralizes you, Morris said of the inability to stop the run.Houston (6-1, 3-1 AAC) will test the Mustangs shortcomings on defense. The Cougars are averaging 200.0 yards on the ground and could get top running back Duke Catalon back.Catalon missed the last four games with a concussion, but was cleared to return to practice this week and could play Saturday.Houston coach Tom Herman told the Houston Chronicle this week that if Catalon shows signs of another concussion while at the school, they are going to shut him down.With Catalon out, even more of the offensive load has been put on the shoulders of quarterback Greg Ward Jr., who has already carried the football 100 times for 414 yards and six touchdowns in seven games. Ward also has completed 70.1 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns.Hes our best player, Herman said of Ward. When the game is on the line, I want the ball in the hands of our best player. Were continuing to find ways to run the football without him having to read people or be the designed character. But if we need to win the game, well use him.Behind the 396 yards of offense from Ward, Houston was able to bounce back from its upset loss to Navy two weeks ago with a hard-fought win over Tulsa last week.The loss to Navy likely derailed the Cougars hopes of crashing the four-team playoff, but Houston is still in line for a New Years bowl. A showcase game against No. 7 Louisville on Nov. 17 is sandwiched between the Cougars remaining four AAC games.Herman says he isnt having any trouble keeping his team motivated.The motivation is easy because every week there is something about how we are overrated or not good enough, Herman told reporters this week. We were the underdogs, we were this and we were that. The chip on our shoulder never had to be manufactured. It was there organically from last year, which creates a toughness and edge about you.This year our team is tough and physical, but our team is learning how to be the hunter, not the hunted. We are learning to be the overdog instead of the underdog.The Cougars are heavy overdogs this week against an SMU team that has lost eight players for the season to injury, including senior starting quarterback Matt Davis to an ACL injury in the first game of the season.Were as healthy as we can be, Morris said.Freshman quarterback Ben Hicks has completed 51.9 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and nine interceptions since taking over for Davis.Hicks starts behind one of the youngest offensive lines in the nation and keeping him upright will be a priority against the Cougars, who have 19 sacks on the season.I expect it to be physical and the only thing we can control is how we respond, Morris said.Houston has won 10 of the last 11 games against SMU, including last seasons 49-28 victory. Ward picked apart the Mustangs in the win, completing 16 of 18 passes for 243 yards with a rushing and passing touchdown.No one has stopped him yet, Morris said of Ward. Patrick Roy Jersey .

Patrick Roy Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Erik Johnson Jersey .ca NBA Power Rankings, ahead of the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Russell Wilsons efficient arm certainly made up for his banged-up knee.The Seattle quarterback was sharp despite playing with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee , throwing three touchdown passes in the Seahawks 27-17 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.I thought it was a sterling effort by the quarterback, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. Everybody was wondering and questioning what was going to happen and how he would be able to do it. He just did it. This is the best hes looked in the last few weeks.Wilson was injured last week against San Francisco and wasnt his usual mobile self in this one, but finished 23 of 32 for 309 yards while wearing a brace on his leg as the Seahawks (3-1) won at MetLife Stadium for the first time since beating the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl in 2014.Feeling great, said Wilson, who was sacked twice. I thought the offensive line did a phenomenal job. They protected really well.Jimmy Graham, questionable with back spasms earlier in the week, had six catches for 113 yards, including an impressive 17-yard one-handed grab in the opening quarter, while giving the Jets (1-3) fits all game.Hes a bad, bad man, Wilson said. He can do anything. He can make any play, any catch. Hes a special player.Added Carroll: Hes just a monster out there.Wilson, who has also dealt with a sprained right ankle from the opener against Miami, went 10 of 11 for 191 yards and two TDs and a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating in the first half. He finished with minus-5 yards on five rushes for Seattle, which has a bye next weekend.Wilson helped Seattle, making the first of three East Coast trips this season, improve to 8-5 in its last 13 games with a 1 p.m. Eastern start time.Richard Sherman had two interceptions and Earl Thomas one as Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets couldnt get much going against the NFLs No. 1-ranked defense.Fitzpatrick, coming off a six-interception performance at Kansas City , was 23 of 41 for 261 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall. The Jets were without receiver Eric Decker , whos week to week with a partially torn right rotator cuff.Weve beaten ourselves two weeks in a row, coach Todd Bowles said, and weve got to fix that.Marshall bristled a bit when asked if he thought the Jets need to evaluate the quarterback position.I am. Going down. In a boat. With Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marshall said, measuring his words. OK?Marshalls first touchdown catch of the season on a back-shoulder throw to thhe front-left corner of the end zone over Sherman cut the deficit to four at 14-10 with 13 seconds left in the opening half.dddddddddddd Seattle took advantage of an interception by Sherman at the start of the fourth quarter. Wilson found Graham for 24 yards -- a catch challenged by the Jets but upheld by review -- and then connected with Paul Richardson for 27 yards to make it first-and-goal from the 6.On the next play, Wilson rolled to his right and lofted a pass to Christine Michael, who reached over the pylon to make it 24-10.FLUKEY FIRST TD: Rookie Charone Peake scored his first NFL touchdown when Fitzpatrick was sacked by Cliff Avril and fumbled, but the receiver picked up the ball and zipped 42 yards into the end zone with 2:15 left that made it 27-17.MEMORABLE GRAB: Tanner McEvoys first NFL catch was one for the trophy case as he was wide open downfield when Wilson hit him for a 42-yard touchdown that put the Seahawks up 14-3. McEvoy, a New Jersey native, was an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin.QUICK IMPACT: C.J. Spiller, who signed with the Seahawks earlier in the week , made his first big play for Seattle with an 8-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter. Spiller had worked out for the Jets before he signed with the Seahawks, and made New York pay for not signing him, giving Seattle a 7-3 lead.That was the cherry on top, Spiller said. Its been a crazy week.The drive was highlighted by a 27-yard catch by Graham and a 37-yard grab by Doug Baldwin, who held onto the ball despite taking a huge hit from Calvin Pryor, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness, putting the ball at the Jets 5.IFEDIS DEBUT: Seattle guard Germain Ifedi, the 31st overall pick in the draft, made his regular-season debut. Ifedi missed the first three games (ankle), but started at right guard after going through a full week of practice.INJURIES: Baldwin came out briefly early in the second quarter after taking the hit from Pryor. He returned later in the quarter. ... Bowles said Jets CB Darrelle Revis has a hamstring injury, although it was initially announced as a thigh injury. ... RG Brian Winters left in the second quarter with a concussion after he banged helmets with a Seahawks defender -- and was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty. He was replaced by Brent Qvale, who had started at RT.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Wholesale Jerseys Jerseys NFL China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
