ems like ancient history to him.It was a long time ago, Knight said this week. Im not even at the same school anymore. They talk about its me and I
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Trevor Knight has changed teams, proven hes not a one-game wonder and re-emerged with a national title contender.The Texas A&M quarterback was a redshirt freshman for Oklahoma when he picked apart Alabamas defense in the January 2013 Sugar Bowl and looked every bit the rising star. Now, the top-ranked Crimson Tide, with mostly new players, finally gets another shot at Knight when he leads the sixth-ranked Aggies into Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday in a matchup of the Southeastern Conferences top teams.His career with the Sooners never took off, but Knights doing just fine now. The Sugar Bowl was a stunner at the time even if it seems like ancient history to him.It was a long time ago, Knight said this week. Im not even at the same school anymore. They talk about its me and I guess (Mississippis) Chad Kelly are the two teams that have beaten Alabama but again thats so far in the past that you cant look into that now.Its still noteworthy to reflect on just how good Knight was on that January night in New Orleans against a strong Alabama defense. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops had kept his quarterback a mystery leading up to the game: Would he start Knight or Blake Bell?He chose wisely. Knight wound up passing for 348 yards and four touchdowns to win Sugar Bowl MVP honors and outshine Heisman Trophy runner up AJ McCarron for the 16-point underdogs. His 32 completions set a Sugar Bowl record and was only 15 shy of his total the rest of the season.We won and that was a good feeling, Knight said. Again that was a great game, a long time ago. We came out and played really well and got a win. Thats just another win under our belt back then and I dont think too much (about) it nowadays.He has more pressing matters on his mind. Knight is thriving in coach Kevin Sumlins offense at Texas A&M. He has passed for 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 502 yards and another nine TDs.More importantly, he has guided the Aggies to a 6-0 start and four straight SEC wins. Knight has passed for 200-plus yards and rushed for more than 80 in each of his last three league games.Saban doesnt need to replay the Sugar Bowl to be impressed with Knight.Hes very athletic. Hes very quick, Saban said. Hes a good decision-maker. He makes quick decisions with the ball. He changes angles of throws and gets the ball out of his hands quick on all the (run-pass options), and can extend plays in the passing game when they need him to. This guys a complete player at the position. I thought he was that when we played him before and I think hes even better now.Now, Knight gets his biggest challenge perhaps since that Sugar Bowl. Alabama (7-0, 4-0) has the nations top rushing defense and held Tennessees dual-threat quarterback Joshua Dobbs to 61 yards of total offense in last weekends 49-10 win.Trevor Knight makes all the throws, can run, can hurt you with his legs and his arms, so its definitely going to be a challenge for us, Alabama linebacker Ryan Anderson said.The present is whats on the minds of Knight, Sumlin, Saban and Alabama players and what they want to talk about. Sumlin said he hasnt even watched that Sugar Bowl.Storyline is two teams in 2016 who are two Top-10 teams playing to try and win the West, Sumlin said. Thats where we are.But Knight vs. Alabama makes for a good sidebar.---AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgAdidas Nmd Sans Lacet Pas Cher .

Hall of Famer Allen Iverson says the practice of resting healthy star players during the regular season reflects a new age in the NBA and would have been a big problem between him and his coach when he played.Its different to me, said Iverson, speaking to ESPN before the broadcast of Friday nights Los Angeles Lakers-Philadelphia 76ers game. I never thought anything like that would happen. A guy like myself would compete night in and night out -- tired, hurt -- you know what I mean? It doesnt matter. But to each his own. If it helps those guys and helps their team, then so be it.The topic became a flashpoint earlier this week when LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love stayed behind in Cleveland as the?Cavaliers?traveled to Memphis for the second night of a home-and-road, back-to-back series against the Grizzlies.It would have been a big problem, said Iverson, who once gained notoriety for repeatedly asking why reporters were asking him about practice in a news conference -- to the tune of repeating practice dozens of times. It would have definitely been a big problem. We would have had it out. And hopefully I would have come out on top.Its a strategy San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also has employed in recent seasons and something that Houston Rockets coach Mike DAntoni earlier this weekk called on the NBA to examine, saying it wasnt fair for fans who had spent time and money in an effort to see the rested stars play.dddddddddddd.Iverson was a headliner in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fames 10-member Class of 2016 that was inducted in September. ?He was presented with his Hall of Fame jacket by fellow Sixers legend Julius Erving at halftime of Fridays game, a 100-89 loss for Philadelphia.He addressed the fans during the Wells Fargo Center ceremony and made another reference about his approach to resting games.I would never, ever, ever sit out a game if something wasnt broke ... I knew youd want to see me, Iverson said.Iverson also earlier discussed the role of fashion in todays NBA during the ESPN interview. Iversons casual dress habits were widely regarded as the impetus for a once-enforced dress code that mandated players to wear suits in public.Listen, man. I cannot believe they changed the dress code for me -- and the stuff I see these guys walk into the arena wearing, Iverson said. Oh my god. You know what I mean? I just cant believe it. Now that I know they were picking on me. They had to be. Cause this is bad. Its bad, man. Its bad. ' ' '
