BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Junior Mike White has been named Western Kentuckys starting quarterback for the Hilltoppers Sept. 1 opener against visiting Rice.Western coach Jeff Brohm announced Friday that he chose the South Florida transfer from competition that included senior Tyler Ferguson and sophomore Drew Eckels. He says White has done a nice job preparing himself for this moment and operates our offense well.Though White gets the initial call to replace record-setting All-American Brandon Doughty, Ferguson and Eckels could also play this season. White, who sat out last season per NCAA transfer rules, started 15 games for the Bulls in 2013 and 14 and recorded USFs best quarterback debut when he completed 26 of 41 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns against Houston.Adidas Neo NZ . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. NMD Clearance . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect.

Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout. NMD R2 Mens Sale . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. Adidas Alphabounce NZ . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.The season wasnt supposed to go like this for the Cardinals and Panthers , Bengals and Packers . They combined to go 50-14 in 2015, all of them making the playoffs.This season, heading into Green Bays Monday night visit to Philadelphia, they are an ugly 15-26-2.Maybe all of that losing is overlooked when the Browns are 0-12 and the Niners are 1-10, having dropped those 10 after winning their opener. It shouldnt be.It starts to wear on you, Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick says. Im a winner. Ive never been in this position.That position is 3-7-1.Im just bummed, says Carson Palmer, whose Cardinals are 4-6-1 after making the NFC title game in January. Its disheartening, frustrating, and it hurts.How did it go so bad?ARIZONAThe Cardinals looked like the most-balanced roster in the NFL heading into September. While theyve had their share of injuries -- who hasnt? -- their shortcomings have centered on disappointing performances from many of the people they were counting on heavily.Start with Carson Palmer, who isnt making the big plays he produced last year and has thrown 11 interceptions to go with 15 TDs. Hes made some bad decisions and hasnt gotten much production out of any skill position guys except running back David Johnson, who has been terrific, and the always reliable WR Larry Fitzgerald. Arizona struggles to protect the stationary quarterback, too.Although the defense has some nice stats, its also not making game-changing plays.And special teams have been suspect.CAROLINAClearly the strangest collapse of 2016. The Panthers remain a dangerous opponent, as they showed Sunday by storming back from a 17-point halftime deficit at Oakland before losing 35-32.Super Bowl losers tend to struggle the next season, and Carolina is no exception, particularly in the secondary. Removing the franchise tag from 2015 All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who landed in Washington, has plagued the defense all season.The offensive line is a mess, leading to Cam Newtons falloff from his MVP showing. Jonathan Stewarts injury badly damaged a running game that only now is recuperating.Carolina also cant close, being outscored 128-75 in the fourth quuarter.dddddddddddd. Close games have been going the other way, too, with five losses by three points or less.We are done comparing everything to last year, standout tight end Greg Olsen says. The reality is that we are 4-7. It is a tough loss. Obviously, there are a lot of things that we could have done better to give us a better chance.CINCINNATIEvery coach, player and team executive will swear that past performances dont have much effect on current events. The Bengals might be better off living in the past, at least regular season-wise.This franchise has made five straight trips to the postseason, losing in its first game each time. No matter what the Bengals say, that does wear on a team, particularly one with so many veterans who have gone through those January failures.Cincinnati has the look of a group waiting for the opponent to seize control. Its meltdown in the wild-card matchup with Pittsburgh last season, a game the Bengals had no business blowing, sure seems to have caused a major hangover.Add in having few complements to the wonderful A.J. Green, who is now sidelined; a leaky blocking unit; questionable coaching decisions by Marvin Lewis and his staff; and key mistakes by special teams.GREEN BAYWhen you have a quarterback with a Hall of Fame-quality resume like Aaron Rodgers, and youve been to the playoffs seven straight seasons, expectations remain high. Results in 2016 have been low.Dont blame Rodgers, whos trying to carry the offense without a recognizable running game and with a line so jumbled it looks like, well, Swiss cheese.Of all the 2015 playoff teams who are spiraling this season, the Packers have had the worst injury epidemic. Their secondary is so undermanned it sometimes seems theres no one left to line up at cornerback.Questions even have begun to arise about the job security of Mike McCarthy, despite his stellar career record. Thats the usual fallout when projected contenders fall apart.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
