ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgias quarterback situation remains day-to-day, as the No. 16 Bulldogs (2-0) prepare for Saturdays road game at SEC East foe Missouri (1-1).Following freshman Jacob Easons first career start, which ended with the Bulldogs narrowly escaping Nicholls State with a 26-24 win at home, Georgia coach Kirby Smart said during his Monday news conference that both Eason and senior Greyson Lambert will continue to share reps during practice, keeping the position open for at least another week.Itll be based on how practice goes and how our game plan goes, Smart said. Thatll work itself out over the course of the week.Both quarterbacks rotated in and out during Georgias opening 33-24 victory over North Carolina, but Eason started last weeks game, completing 11-of-20 passes for 204 yards,1 touchdown and 1 interception. However, Lambert replaced Eason a series after the freshman threw a pass that was tipped and intercepted by Nicholls States Jeff Hall at the goal line and returned 91 yards. Lambert came in with 7 minutes, 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and only completed 2-of-3 passes for 2 yards, but he did help seal the win with a 9-yard completion to Michael Chigbu on third-and-7 late.Jacob made some mistakes, but he also made some really good plays, Smart said. Then, Greyson came in, and for a guy that came off the bench, did a great job of manufacturing a third down on a bad snap, made a great read, made a good throw and did what we asked him to do. I was very proud of how he managed the situation he was brought into.Smart said that both quarterbacks have been given an equal amount of the playbook, but that Eason isnt as advanced or as comfortable with some aspects of it as Lambert is. One area Lambert has been better at through two games is running Georgias four-minute offense, which tight end Jeb Blazevich said he has been impressed with.I think he has the experience and he can command in the huddle and he just knows exactly where everybodys supposed to be, Blazevich said of Lamberts ability to run Georgias four-minute offense. Hes been in that spot numerous times, so hes used to it, hes comfortable with it.Smart said Eason hasnt lost any confidence after Saturdays benching; this week, however, Eason will be used to get more comfortable and consistent with the Bulldogs playbook. Georgia faces a Missouri defense this weekend that ranks 13th in the SEC in total defense (461 yards per game) and 11th in passing defense (270 yards per game).[Eason] gets rushed at times, and he doesnt always have his eyes in the right place, but there were a lot of times where he showed a lot more improvement from the North Carolina game to this one in the things he looked at and managing of the huddle, Smart said. Hes got to continue to improve in that area. He did it right some and he did it wrong some, but so did Greyson, so there we lay. Glenn Robinson Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. Oscar Robertson Jersey . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. http://www.cheapbucksjerseys.com/ . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. Jason Terry Jersey ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter. Tyler Zeller Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. BRISTOL, Conn. -- We approach this womens college basketball season uncertain of something that weve gotten used to being pretty obvious: Who is the best player in the country? For that matter, who are the five best? Or the 10 best?Were counting down espnWs top 25 players this week, with No. 1 to be revealed Friday. This much we can already tell you: Its not Breanna Stewart.In the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, there was no doubt the UConn forward was the transcendent star of womens college hoops. There was nothing to debate or argue, not legitimately anyway. It was an open-and-shut case.Stewart came into college with the grandest of expectations and then did everything she set out to: winning four NCAA titles, and getting the most outstanding player award every year in the process.But with no Stewie left in the college game, who takes over there as the spotlight player? Or is there one?Not only do we not know who its going to be, we dont know whether it actually exists, UConn coach Geno Auriemma said Tuesday. Everything is an evolving story.Auriemma was among a group of coaches and players who visited ESPN on Tuesday to talk about the upcoming season. That sense of uncertainty, as it pertains to the big picture, was pervasive but not unpleasant.Hey, nothing against Stewart, Moriah Jefferson or Morgan Tuck, whose experience and talent basically dominated the overall storyline of womens hoops the past few years. But theyre now in the WNBA, and their departures have left a door open to, well, a lot of people.I dont think theres a clear-cut player of the year; theres a lot of good choices right now, said Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, whose team is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25. I think in recruiting over the last few years, kids are not all going to the same place. We have Brianna Turner. Ohio State has Kelsey Mitchell. South Carolina gets Aja Wilson. Those three players alone have contributed to parity.Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley encourages Wilson to aim high.I feel like its a goal I want to shoot for, Wilson, a junior forward, said of winning national player of the year. But just being in the running is a lot of fun.There are also players such as Washingtons Kelsey Plum, who averaged 25.9 points per game last season, just behind fellow guard Mitchells 26.1. The two Kelseys both admire each others games and feel theyve picked up things from watching the other.Kelsey can shoot it from deep, said Plum, who helped lead the Huskies to the Final Four last year. I love watchiing other guards, like seeing Kelsey play in the Big Ten.dddddddddddd They run a similar offense to what we do. I will watch her, rewind it, watch her again. Shes one of my favorites.Mitchell said she has also learned from observing Plum, especially in changing speeds to thwart defenses. As for being in the mix as one of the countrys best players, the soft-spoken Mitchell said, You never want to think too much about those things. But I will say Im grateful to be in the conversation.The same goes for players such as Baylor forward Nina Davis, Louisville forward Myisha Hines-Allen and Maryland guard Shatori Walker-Kimbrough.Louisville coach Jeff Walz said Hines-Allen has worked on expanding her range, but he also hopes she has an even more impressive body of work this season.The big thing for her is the consistency part, Walz said. She had a remarkable ACC season -- 16 games -- but she didnt start out very well. She has it in her. Im excited to get things started.Tennessee guard Diamond DeShields is ready, too, and finally feeling closer to 100 percent and injury-free.Ive always strived to be one of the best, DeShields said. I hope to be a contender in that regard.But hold on -- what about the returning UConn players? Sure, the big three are gone, but there are guards Kia Nurse and Gabby Williams, guard/forward Katie Lou Samuelson and forward Napheesa Collier. All of them now move into more prominent roles.Theyre all very good, but have any of them proved greatness yet? No, but now is their chance. That said, Auriemma doesnt necessarily want any of his returners to think they have to try to turn into the second coming of Stewart, to whatever degree thats even possible.If [Katie] Lou, for example, tries to be all the things she thinks we need, is that fair? Auriemma said. There is some of that, that they want to fill that void, and they know it has to be filled. But I want them to fill it in their own way.Maybe that results in major accolades, and maybe it doesnt. But there will be players who now have more of an opportunity to be noticed, and well get to see them try to rise to the occasion all over the country.I think theres a kind of optimism this year, UCLA coach Cori Close said. Individually, it seems more wide-open for those honors. And that should impact the NCAA tournament. I think theres going to a lot of drama there, which is good for the game. ' ' '
