ou can bat on that pitch if you apply yourself.If two or three batsmen get stuck in like the openers did today, we will save the Test. Thats quite exciting

New Mexico and the University of Texas-San Antonio were in a rush to get to a bowl game.The Roadrunners (6-6, 5-3 C-USA) are eligible for the first time in programs brief six-year history. They won seven games back in 2013, but they were in the final year of reclassifying to the FBS and not eligible to play in the postseason.This season, UTSA won five of its last eight games to finish second in Conference USAs West Division.New Mexico (8-4, 6-2 Mountain West) is bowl-eligible for the second straight year after earning a piece of the Mountain West Mountain Division title.The Lobos led the nation in rushing this season at 361 yards per game. Two players -- Teriyon Gipson and Tyrone Owens -- each topped 1,000 yards rushing. Two others reached the 500-yard mark.The Roadrunners also boast a potent rushing attack with Jarveon Williams, the Roadrunners all-time leading rusher, and Jalen Rhodes. The two combined for 1,883 yards and 18 touchdowns this season.The running games of UTSA and UNM will be on display when the Roadrunners and Lobos clash in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET at University Stadium in Albuquerque, N.M.The architect of the Lobos vaunted triple-option rushing attack is Bob Davie, the one-time Notre Dame head coach. New Mexico compiled 4,431 yards on the ground this season with Gipson and Owens averaging a nations best 9.2 and 8.1 yards per carry.The Roadrunners face a tremendous challenge, USTA head coach Frank Wilson said. We havent seen it all year. We watched it on tape so far. Its a pretty dominant offense. It requires our team to be extremely disciplined in their assignments and things that theyre asked to do to be able to slow down such a potent offense.Wilson, who is in his first year with UTSA, knows more than a little about potent rushing attacks -- he was the running backs coach at LSU under Les Miles for five years before landing in San Antonio.The best way to prepare is just practice, practice and more practice.If someone else gets a little nosy and wants to get the quarterback and not the dive, not the pitch, then we can put ourselves in trouble, Wilson said. So repetition is our greatest asset right now and practice will do that for us.The Roadrunners play a physical brand of football with the goal of dominating in the trenches -- hallmarks of Wilsons LSU teams. He also came to UTSA as one of the best recruiters in the country and was able to immediately upgrade the roster with a solid freshman class and a number of graduate transfers from Baton Rouge.What the Roadrunners have accomplished has not been lost on Davie, who has long-running ties with UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey.Its been a long journey, Davie said, citing the road UTSA has traveled as a start-up program. I have tremendous respect for them because I know how much courage it took and how much foresight it took, particularly at the time they got started and the economy took a little hit. So it took a lot of courage to keep it going. I have great respect for that program.UTSA certainly has earned that respect this season.The Roadrunners feature a balanced attack with not only two rushers over 700 yards, but two receivers, Josh Stewart and Kerry Williams Jr., who have combined for 1,200 yards.Quarterback Dalton Sturm has thrown for 2,052 yards and 18 touchdowns against only five interceptions. He is confidant the Roadrunners will complete this historic season on a high note.I go into each game as if its the biggest game of the season, Sturm said. Its about all of us winning together as a team.Sturms New Mexico counterpart, Austin Apodaca, has completed just 53 passes for just over 650 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.On defense, the Roadrunners hold their opponents to 152 yards. But can they control the line and stop the Lobos on the ground?UTSA and UNM have played twice before, splitting a home-and-home series in 2013 and 2014. UTSA won the first meeting (Aug. 31, 2013) in Albuquerque 21-13. New Mexico came back to win on Oct. 4, 2014, 21-9 in San Antonio. Ecco Shoes Sale Online Ireland .

Stuart Broad has not given up hope of playing in the third Test in Mohali despite suffering an injury to the tendons in his right foot in Visakhapatnam. The England seamer revealed that he will wear a protective moon boot to try and aid his recovery, with four days between the second and third Tests.Broad sustained the injury diving in the field in the opening moments of the match but still produced an impressive performance. He claimed four wickets in Indias second innings and then called upon England to do something special on the last day to try and salvage the second Test.Its been a pretty sore Test, Broad said of his injury. I dived for the ball and my toe slipped the wrong way and Ive done some damage to my tendon, which has been a bit awkward. If you do that in the second over of a Test, youve only got one option and thats to keep playing or you stuff the team a little bit.There are plans is to get a moon boot on at the end of this game for a few days to try to offload the tendon. Weve about 17 days before the fourth Test in Mumbai, which is quite a long time. But its less for the third Test in Mohali.Its annoying to miss any Test and I dont know that I will miss it yet. But hopefully Ill definitely be fit for Mumbai.England could go to Mohali 1-0 down after being challenged to survive for a minimum of 150 overs if they were to save the match - which, on a deteriorating wicket, seemed an improbable scenario. But, having reached stumps on day four for the loss of only two wickets, Broad said the whole side had taken encouragement from the performance of their opening batsmen and still felt the draw was achievable.Everyone believes it can be done, Broad said. When you watch the way we batted this evening: 60 overs for two wickets; weve only got another 90 to go. It shows you can bat on that pitch if you apply yourself.If two or three batsmen get stuck in like the openers did today, we will save the Test. Thats quite exciting. Youve a chance of doing something - I wont say heroic, but doing something quite special. A bit different. It might not be 100 off 150 balls, but it might be 20 of 150 balls that helps your team get in a great position.Weve got the characters, the players and the depth of batting to do it. The key is breaking it down into small partnerships: whether its 15 minutes, whether its 15 balls, or five runs, these sort of things slow the game down for you so it doesnt feel as if youre climbing up a mountain.Englands hopes took a substantial blow when Alastair Cook was trapped leg before to the last delivery of the day. But his partnership with Haseeb Hameed had defied India for 50 overs and, according to Broad, shown the rest of the team what was expected of them on the final day.Its always disappointing when you lose a wicket in the final over, Broad said. Especially someone as dogged and strong as Cook. But we batted 60 overs for two wickets. That gives us a lot of encouragement. Weve still got wickets and a lot of batting to come in the changing room.The way Cook goes about it... the calmness he shows. Thhe courage he shows.dddddddddddd Hes set a precedent, if thats the word. You have to follow his lead.Broad was equally effusive in praise of Hameed, who endured a testing spell of short-pitched bowling and was finally dismissed by an unplayable delivery that scuttled along the pitch.He played a tough innings, Broad said. It reminded me of the Mike Atherton knock at Trent Bridge in 1998 when Allan Donald was charging in at him. Haseeb was hit first ball, which damaged his hand, but he didnt show anything and calmly went about his business. He showed a huge amount of courage and didnt let a bit of indifferent bounce change his movements.He looks made for Test cricket. As a bowler in his team, he is an enjoyable man to see walk out to bat because you know he has a calm head on his shoulders. He just wants to bat for his team. Today runs werent on his agenda. He wanted to bat time to give England a chance to save this Test. It took a beauty of a ball to get rid of him. Not many batsmen are going to hit that, are they?Despite Englands unpromising match position, Broad felt the side could take huge credit from their fightback. After a poor session towards the end of day two, he suggested England had shown character.We had a bad hour-and-a-half at the end of day two, Broad said. But since then weve shown a lot of character. To still be in this Test going into day five from the position we were in at the end of day two is a huge credit to us.Even today, turning up to the ground 300 behind, it is very easy to throw the towel in. But we put a lot of pressure on India. We took early wickets. We didnt let India control the scoring rate and didnt let them declare. And that led us into a pretty solid batting display giving us a hope tomorrow.A lot of Tests have been saved with teams going into the last day two wickets down. And thats got to be out aim. In Auckland in 2013 we went into the last day with four wickets down and saved the game.Were very happy with today. Weve given ourselves a great chance and if we can keep things quiet for the first 90 minutes, the pressure will only grow on the Indian bowlers.Despite Broads injury, he delivered an impressive eight-over spell on the fourth day and claimed his best figures in a Test in India.It felt like a decent time to bowl, he said. There was a little bit of indifferent bounce and reverse swing. It was nice to play on a pitch that was worn and there was a bit of variable bounce so I was able to use the legcutter a bit more which makes the reversing ball a bit more dangerous.The batsman is looking for the cutter and then you can wrap them on the pad with a quicker inswinger. Zaheer Khan was very good at bowling off-pace and would then surprise you with a really quick inswinger. Jimmy Anderson and I talked about trying to get batsmen into a routine of facing a slower pace and then hitting them with a quicker ball coming into the stumps. He dismissed Pujara that way. ' ' '
