GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Between talking smack, fighting at practice, getting suspended, buying a homeless man shoes, changing his name, intercepting a pass in his season debut and then helping deliver the best defensive performance in school history, Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor has been involved in a seasons worth of headlines the past two months.Theres surely more to come.The junior from Washington, D.C., is Floridas most outspoken player and one of college footballs more intriguing personalities. Hes likely to take center stage Saturday when No. 14 Tennessee (3-0) opens Southeastern Conference play in Knoxville against the 19th-ranked Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) -- the first time since 2006 that both teams have been ranked in the top 20 for their annual rivalry.Tabor will be matched up against Josh Malone, who leads the Volunteers with nine catches for 196 yards and four touchdowns. Tabor welcomed the challenge.I want them to throw my way, he said. I mean, my mom always told me if you play with fire, youll get burnt. So ...For Tabor, thats far from bulletin-board material. After all, he boldly predicted a 12th consecutive win for the Gators during a television interview in August.Its been the same thing happening for 11 years, Tabor told ESPN. The greatest indication of the future is the past. ... Tennessee has come close (to winning) two years in a row, but close only works in horseshoes.Florida coach Jim McElwain was hardly surprised by Tabors comments.It will make for a good read; it will give you guys something to write about, McElwain said. Im not into censorship, OK? At the same time, Im not into giving guys bulletin-board material, but you can take that statement however you choose to take it. Im sure theyll put it up and blast it all over the world. Way to go. Theres a pretty good chance well show up in Knoxville.Tabor has remained in the spotlight since, not always for something positive.He was suspended for a week after getting into a fight with teammate Cyontai Lewis during practice in August. McElwain also suspended both players from the season opener against UMass.A few days after the suspension, Tabor posted video on social media of him buying a homeless man shoes and giving him $20. Some questioned Tabors timing, saying he was merely trying to make up for the fight.I always feel like I want to help people who are less fortunate than I am, said Tabor, who now goes by his nickname, Teez. I come from the inner city where I see stuff like that walking to school. Just to give back, make his day, you know, a couple dollars and a pair of shoes for him is life-changing. We take for granted everybody in here got on a pair of shoes. Everybody in here has some money in their pocket.Without Tabor on the field, Florida allowed pass plays of 24, 30 and 53 yards against the Minutemen. Tabor returned the following week against Kentucky and quickly showed why hes widely considered a first-round NFL draft pick in 2017. Tabor jumped a bubble screen before Drew Barker ever released the ball, bullying his way between two receivers, picking off the pass and setting up a touchdown in a 45-7 victory.Tabor is very, very explosive, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. He can play man coverage. He has great, great confidence, great break and drive on the ball.Floridas defense was even better last Saturday against North Texas, allowing a school-record 53 yards on 50 plays.The Vols should present a considerably tougher matchup for the Gators, who lead the nation in scoring defense (4.7 points), total defense (129.7 yards) and sacks (16).They certainly wont have to look very hard to find Tabor, who was suspended for last years game in Gainesville. Hell be the one running his mouth, probably making plays and likely in the headlines again.You know, hes gone through certain things, this and that, but as a player, as a person, Jalens grown up, safety Marcus Maye said. Hes doing very well, so Im excited for him.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Gerry Cheevers Jersey .

DENVER -- The Broncos defense kept Tom Brady in check. Now, theyre trying to do the same with their frustration.What little hope Denver has at salvaging its playoff chances after a 16-3 loss to New England on Sunday is clearly dependent on a defense that, stellar as it may be, simply cant win games on its own.This year is not a repeat of last season, when the Broncos (8-6) rode the defense all the way to a Super Bowl win.This version of the Denver defense keeps getting betrayed by everything on this team -- a fumbled punt by returner Jordan Norwood, a costly interception in the red zone by Trevor Siemian, an offensive line that struggles to run block and receivers who have trouble holding onto the ball.Frustration? It was barely disguised after the latest loss knocked Denver out of a playoff spot as it stands with two games to go.Yall see what has to get changed, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Im not going to speak on it too much.No need to. It was glaringly obvious between a Patriots team gearing up for a Super Bowl run and a team whose title defense could be over before the playoffs even start.Denvers D held Brady to 188 yards passing and no passing TDs. And the only touchdown the Patriots (12-2) mustered almost didnt happen. Dion Lewis fumbled on the goal line, only to recover it. A play later, LeGarrette Blount barreled into the end zone to give the Patriots a 10-3 lead.These days, given the offenses struggles, a seven-point deficit feels like much more.We felt like we played almost good enough defense to win that game, Harris said.Standing in the way of any potential conflict is Von Miller -- the keeper of the peace in the locker room.Theres not going to be any friction. Im the partition, Miller said. Its just a tough loss. Its hard to accept it, especially when you put so much in during the week and knowing what this ggame means to us, our organization and our fans.dddddddddddd Weve got two games left. Im not going anywhere. Ill be ready to go.Still, its a long shot, especially going to Kansas City on Christmas Day to face the Chiefs. The Broncos have historically not played well in Arrowhead this time of year. They close the season by hosting Oakland on Jan. 1.Im not really thinking about the playoffs. Im thinking about going to play Kansas City, Miller said.The frustration is understandable. The Broncos have allowed a grand total of three touchdowns over the past three weeks.Their record: 1-2.Thats not going to take us nowhere, being frustrated and beefing with the offense, said cornerback Aqib Talib, who pushed Norwood after his costly fumble in a loss last month against the Chiefs.This time, when Norwood fumbled, Talib walked past him. The Broncos defense bailed him out by allowing only a field goal.But Norwood isnt the only problem.Demaryius Thomas had two big dropped passes -- including a long pass down the sideline -- and Siemian was intercepted by Logan Ryan.Frustrating, no doubt, especially early, Siemian said. We were moving the ball really well and dont have any points to show for it.If someone wouldve told Talib that the Broncos would hold Brady to 16 points and they still wouldve lost, his only response wouldve been: You lyin, he said.The cold, hard truth.Brady began 0-for-6 passing, which ties his longest drought start a game in his career. He was held to a passer rating of 68.2 (in contrast, Siemian had a 73.1).You cant get us down, man, Ward said. Were the best. Cant beat us. Were the best. Keep working until we get those wins.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
