Alabama coach Nick Saban challenged his players to play a complete game last week against Kent State.The players did that in Sabans eyes in a 48-0 romp, and now the coach is hoping the team can build on that momentum again in their homecoming matchup against Kentucky. Kickoff at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN).Now that we are back in SEC play, I think its time to build on that; build on the momentum, Saban said. If we want to be the team that we are capable of being, I think its important for everyone to buy into that and do that. The SEC is a tough league, and every game you play in this league is an important game as this game will be against Kentucky.Kentucky marks the first of four straight SEC games before Alabamas bye week.Saban is hoping to get a couple of people healthy, including running back Damien Harris, the Tides leading rusher with 345 yards and an impressive 8.6 per carry average.The injury update is Damien Harris is still day-to-day, Saban said, adding that wide receivers ArDarius Stewart and Robert Foster also are considered questionable this week with knee injuries.Harris is a freshman from Richmond, Kentucky, just a short hop from the Wildcats campus in Lexington and very well known to Kentucky coach Mark Stoops.Damien looks very good, just like we knew recruiting him and watching him play right here in Kentucky, Stoops said. Hes just like youd expect. Hes a very talented guy and he looks very explosive, the great vision, the great jump cuts that you see out of him, thats what you see on film.The Wildcats are 2-2 (1-1 SEC) overall after a 17-10 victory over South Carolina last weekend. Although they may not appear to be a threat to the 4-0 Crimson Tide, as is his wont, Saban isnt taking Kentucky lightly.Kentucky has played their best in the last two games that they have played, Saban said. Mark Stoops has done a really good job of sort of finding out who they are and how they want to play. They played really well in the last two games.They have really good skill players on offense, good running backs and good receivers. They have explosive guys that have put up pretty impressive performances to this point.Their quarterback has played well for them, even though he had to come in for the starter, and he has done a nice job. They havent really skipped a beat.Maybe so, but this is still Kentucky, which hasnt beaten Alabama anywhere in that state in 22 tries, going 0-9 in Tuscaloosa, 0-8-1 in Birmingham, and 0-4 in Montgomery.You know they are led by arguably the best coach of all-time in college football and it starts there, Stoops said, referring to Saban. But what impresses you about them is their whole program.Top to bottom they do things right. They are extremely talented, and they are very well coached. So, there is a lot to talk about on what they do right.Stoops, however, isnt dwelling on what the Tide does as much as he zeroes in on his Wildcats, who have won their last two games over New Mexico State and the Gamecocks to even up their record after losses to Southern Mississippi and Florida.I want to see us continue to worry about us, he said, continue to progress, and continue to improve in the areas we need to improve.Quarterback Stephen Johnson, a junior-college transfer who has taken over for injured starter Drew Barker, guided the Wildcats to both of their wins. He has completed 28 of 41 attempts in the two games for 445 yards and three touchdowns.I saw a guy that made plays when he had to and really did what he had to do to manage the game and win the game, Stoops said. There were some throws that he could have forced that he didnt.He made good decisions and got critical first downs with his legs. He took care of the football later on.There are still some things we know we need to clean up that Im not happy about with turnovers and the ball on the ground but late in the game he did a better job with that.

Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total.

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle.

Pablo Zabaleta Argentina Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Deontay Wilder dished a beating to Chris Arreola, mostly one-handed, and turned Arreolas face into a swollen, bloody mess in an eighth-round technical knockout to retain his world heavyweight title before 11,974 on Saturday night at Legacy Arena.Headlining a Premier Boxing Champions card on Fox in prime time in front of his home state fans, Wilder retained his belt for the fourth time as he cruised against Arreola, who fell to 0-3 in heavyweight title fights, getting knocked out in all three.But Wilder was not the same after savaging Arreola in the fourth round, in which he knocked Arreola down and nearly stopped him.Wilder said he broke his right hand and tore his right biceps, rendering his right arm useless after the fourth round.Its broke, Wilder said, pointing to his right hand as he walked past the ringside media section after the fight. I also tore my biceps.Wilder, ahead 80-71, 80-71 and 79-72 on the scorecards when the fight was stopped, showed his arm to ringside media afterward, and his biceps was badly disfigured.[The hand injury] was from an [awkward] punch, Wilder said. I hurt the hand first, and then the biceps. Look at my hand. This thing hurts.Dr. David Williams, an Alabama commission physician, diagnosed Wilder with a broken hand and probable torn biceps in the dressing room, according to promoter Lou DiBella. Wilder was sent to UAB Hospital for an MRI.It showed me hes a real champion, DiBella said of Wilder. He was hurt, and I thought he fought well under the circumstances. He tried to entertain, and he tried to hide the injury. But when I saw the biceps, I could see it did not look good. And his hand also. It hurt to take off the gloves, and he couldnt even put his shirt on.But Wilder still managed to dominate Arreola, who took the fight on relatively short notice.He just kept me on the outside, Arreola said. I couldnt figure him out, plain and simple. I have to give him all the respect in the world because he was just a much better fighter.Wilder was supposed to face Alexander Povetkin in a much-anticipated mandatory defense on May 21 in Moscow, but that bout was canceled nine days beforehand; Wilder was in Sheffield, England, in training camp and about to fly to Russia the next day.Povetkin had taken a random drug test April 27, and the results came back positive for trace amounts of the banned substance meldonium, and the fight was canceled.Having put in nearly two months of training, Wilder, 30, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, did not want to let that work go to waste, and the WBC, whose belt Wilder holds, granted him permission to set up an optional defense while it investigated the Povetkin situation.Arreola quickly accepted the offer, but even he admitted he did not deserve the title shot. He came into the bout just 2-2-1 with a no-decision (because of a failed drug test) in his last six fights, and he has looked like a shell of the explosive top contender he once was.Arreola (36-5-1, 31 KOs) showed very little against Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) in what was likely his last chance to become the first fighter of Mexican decent to win a world heavyweight title. In 2009, Vitali Klitschko stopped Arreola in the ninth round, and Bermane Stiverne knocked Arreola out in the sixth round of their 2014 fight for the belt Klitschko vacated upon his retirement.The fight began with both fighters doing very little, although the 6-foot-7, 226-pound Wilder worked his jab and established his distance. But in the second round, both began to press the action more, and there were a few exchanges; one resulted in Arreola suffering a cut over his right eye that needed seven stitches.The 6-foot-3, 246-pound Arreola bulled forward in the fourth round, but Wilder grabbed him, gyrated his hips and landed an uppercut, eliciting a roar from the crowd.ddddddddddddLater in the round, Wilder, whose purse was $1.4 million, connected with a clean right hand that wobbled Arreola badly. Wilder landed a couple more clean shots, and Arreola dropped to a knee. Arreola beat the count but got hammered in the final 15 seconds of the round. Wilder landed everything and had Arreola reeling and nearly out when the bell rang.He was just as tough as I thought he would be, Wilder said. I know he was scared of the right hand, for sure. I think I would have gotten him out of there (in the fourth round) if he didnt hold the ropes. On that last one he told me in my ear, I had to hold the ropes. I had to hold the ropes.Arreola, 35, of Riverside, California, said he got through the fourth round on heart.It takes a real fighter to be in the ring with someone like him, Arreola said. Hes a big man. Were in the heavyweight division, man. This is the hurt business. You have to know how to deal with adversity. I get punched, Im going to get back up.But the fourth round is probably when Wilder suffered the injuries. He did not use his right hand at all in the fifth or sixth rounds.?His right hand had been surgically repaired after a previous injury.That left Wilder to rely solely on his left hand, which he used to wobble Arreola with a jab early in the fifth round.Wilder did not panic when he was forced to use only one hand.I got one of the best jabs in the world because I have super trainers, Wilder said. I got Mark Breland, who showed me all kinds of ways to throw my jab. I got Russ Anber, who shows me techniques. I have Jay [Deas], my longtime trainer on everything, and, of course, I have Cuz Hill, who gives me great work on the mitts.Wilder continued to control Arreola, who earned $150,000 for the beating, with left jabs and hooks, although in the seventh round Wilder threw one solid right hand in a combination. But, again, he only occasionally pawed with the right.I have to give him credit for using his distance, using his jab, and just keeping me at bay, Arreola said.According to CompuBox statistics, Wilder landed 152 of 346 punches (44 percent), and Arreola landed 52 of 188 (28 percent)By the eighth round, Arreolas face was a bloody, swollen mess. His left eye was nearly closed as Wilder continued to stuff jabs down the middle. When the round was over, Henry Ramirez, Arreolas longtime trainer, asked referee Jack Reiss to call off the fight.It was very satisfying to punish a guy like Chris Arreola, Wilder said. I straight punished him. I didnt get my knockout like I want, but it was a knockout. Ill take that on my record. I still advanced to 37-0 with 36 KOs.Wilder also said he learned that he can fight through serious adversity.Man, it lets me know Im a force to be reckoned with, Wilder said. If I have one hand or two hands, you cant deny that Im the best in the world. Im going to still give it to you whether I have one hand or two hands. I wont stop. As a champion its my duty to keep going no matter what Im going through. Pain aint nothing to me. I got a high tolerance on pain.When youre dealing with fights, its not over until its over. Whoever fights me, they have to be ready. They just cant come in and think theyre going to bully me or think theyre going to out-tough me or think theyre going to outpunch me, because there aint no out-bullying, there aint no out-toughing, there aint no outpunching, because Im the heavyweight champion of the world. That means a lot to me. ' ' '
