The two coaches have slightly opposing views of the venue for Monday nights clash between No. 4 Florida State and No. 11 Ole Miss that winds up college footballs opening weekend (ESPN, 8 p.m. ET).Orlandos Camping World Stadium, previously known as the Citrus Bowl, is a mere 4 1/2-hour drive from the Seminoles campus in Tallahassee. The Ole Miss campus in Oxford is 627 miles away as the crow flies and over 150 miles longer when it comes to driving distance.It has its advantages, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said, noting an immediate introduction for his team to a bowl-game, playoff-like atmosphere and national exposure, not to mention a history that shows the Noles have gone 8-0-2 when they have played in Orlando dating back to 1952.The disadvantage?You have to play a great opponent, he said, laughing.Rebels coach Hugh Freeze had slightly different opinion when the subject was brought up during the summer at the SEC Media Days.I did get a kick out of our AD telling me its a neutral-site game, Freeze said. And Id use that in quotes, neutral site, and I explain to him, Any time you go on the road to a neutral-site game and you have to use silent cadence, it shouldnt be considered a neutral site.So well have a great opposition there in a lot of ways, and it will be an atmosphere that we have to handle.Florida State will be starting a new quarterback in Deondre Francois, who will be the second redshirt freshman starter in the last four seasons for the Seminoles. The other? Heisman winner Jameis Winston.Francois was named the starter after fifth-year senior quarterback Sean Maguire all but ended the preseason competition when he fractured a bone in his foot during one of the Seminoles first practices.But Francois already had established himself as the front-runner.If you didnt think it was official a long time ago, Fisher said of the decision, Im worried about you.Ole Miss has a veteran and one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC in senior Chad Kelly, a top-ranked prospect according to NFLDraftScout.com, but the Noles have a weapon the Rebels dont have in running back Dalvin Cook. Cook has rushed for 2,699 yards in just two seasons and is only 1,261 yards away from Warrick Dunns school record.Freeze was asked who in the SEC Cook might remind him of.We didnt play Georgia last year, but he is probably similar to their guy, he said, referring to Nick Chubb. He has a lower center of gravity. Makes you miss in space a bit more than the ones you have mentioned it seems to me.Fisher described Kelly as a competitor and said the Seminoles would be wary of opening running lanes with an aggressive pass rush, citing Kellys ability to make big plays with his feet.To me of all the things, you see the physical things, but you see his competitiveness all the time, Fisher said of Kelly.This will be just the second meeting between the two schools. The first was in 1961 with Ole Miss winning 33-0 in Oxford.

Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. http://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.com/ .

Cheap Randy Johnson Jersey . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to pitch Friday at Miami after spending more than two months on the disabled list with a herniated disk.Manager Dave Roberts says Kershaw wont have a specific pitch count, but the team will be looking at the big picture with the playoffs coming up next month. The Dodgers lead the NL West by two games over San Francisco.Kershaw dominated in his lone rehab start at Class A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday night. The left-hander allowed only an infield hit, struck out five and walked none. He threw 35 pitches in the game and another 15 in the bullpen to reach his 50-pitch limit for the night.Clayton texted me a couple of times and told me hes excited, Roberts said Sunday. It will be a big lift for the guys.Kershaws impending return, along with Kenta Maeda starting Monday against Arizona and two solid starts by Rich Hill, gives the Dodgers tattered rotation a major boost.We can put our toop three with any in baseball, but it starts with Clayton, Roberts said.ddddddddddddKershaw was 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA before getting injured in late June.Fridays game is the start of a 10-game road trip that includes three games against the Yankees.Still on the disabled list are pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brett Anderson, Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy and Alex Wood.Anderson followed Kershaw in Saturdays game, but was again bothered by a blister and was to meet Sunday with the teams medical staff.Ryu appears out for the season because of a left elbow injury. Wood could be back in a bullpen role.McCarthy was to pitch Sunday at Rancho Cucamonga. Kazmir will start Wednesday at Triple-A Oklahoma City, throwing six innings with a 90-pitch limit. Roberts said Kazmir is likely to start one of the three games at New York. ' ' '
