Tasamul Haque, Nazimuddin, Mahbubul Karim and a few others, the Chittagong side has a long way to go. Mohammad Saifuddin, Yasir Ali and Irfan Sukkur are young players who offer a lot of promise, but they need proper fitness and skill development to take them to the next level.Key playerMominul Ha

Houston climbed to No. 6 in the rankings and the Cougars are leaving tracks based on two of the most significant wins ever for the American Athletic Conference powerhouse.The Cougars took down Florida State to end the 2015 season and kicked off 2016 in style, upsetting third-ranked Oklahoma at NRG Stadium with an echo that rattled the national rankings, propelling UH from No. 15 to sixth.Of course, Houston coach Tom Herman was willing to celebrate only after identifying the many areas he wants the Cougars to improve entering Saturdays game (Noon ET) against Lamar.We had some coverage busts in the secondary, Herman said. Then at the four-minute mark we were about to go up 40-17 on the No. 3 team in the country and we fumbled the ball going into the dang end zone and put our defense back out on the field. Thats obviously very unacceptable.Houston came out of the massive win over the Sooners a little worse for wear in the backfield. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. required an MRI exam on his sore shoulder but was expected to participate in practice after Herman said theres nothing structural, just some soft tissue stuff. Ward lost the fumble Herman bemoaned but otherwise played with precision in orchestrated the upset.Ward had 321 passing yards and two touchdowns in the opener.From last year to this year, its like night and day, Herman said.Though a short week awaits Houston with a Thursday night meeting against Cincinnati in the AAC opener next week, complacency is likely to be squashed by the energetic Cougars staff this week. Expectations are sky high and only rising for Hermans club, which is 15-1 since he came to town from Ohio State.The culture that is ingrained in this program will not allow it, Herman said. I think these guys know that if coach McKnight or any of our assistants for one minute think that there is complacency or the foot is being let off the gas, theyre going to get smacked in the face with the proverbial shovel and reminded of what our culture demands of them.Of course, Lamar is not Oklahoma. It will not bring a national television audience or months and weeks of massive hype. This is not a statement game on the surface, but Herman wants to ensure it is just that.The Lamar football program returned in 2010 after a hiatus and had 31 wins in six seasons as a Southland Conference member.That might not generate a buzz on Houstons campus this week but hes hopeful TEDCU Stadium will be a popular place Saturday and going forward.If we fashion ourselves to be a big time football program, like the big time programs in the country, it does not matter what the opponent is or what is on their jersey, Herman said. Their fans, students and alumni come and support and watch their team play.Along with Ward, running back Duke Catalon (ankle) is expected to be in the lineup against Lamar.He finished up the game, we expect him back, Herman said.Lamars offense is not without impact players.Senior running back Kade Harrington was the runner up for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award in 2015. He became the seventh player in Division I history to rush for 2,000-plus yards in 10 games and set all sorts of program marks. Harrington ended the 2015 regular season as the nations leader in rushing yards (2,092), rush yards per game (190.2), all-purpose yards (213.4), rushing touchdowns (21) and was second nationally in scoring (12.5 per game) and third in yards per carry (7.86).Swell Trinkflasche .

It was a drastic slide, and had a lot to do with the form of Liton Das, who had scored a lot of runs when they were champions. But he had a tough time in the domestic scene after failing in international cricket.However, Suhrawadi Shuvo, Sajidul Islam and Naeem Islam are good enough to pull the team out of the second tier. They also have allrounders Ariful Haque, Mahmudul Hasan and Tanveer Haider, and wicketkeeper-batsman Dhiman Ghosh, who was their top-scorer in the previous season. Alauddin Babu and Subashis Roy will be in charge of the pace bowling attack, while Sanjit Saha will be invigorated after being cleared by the BCBs bowling action review committee.Key playerLiton Das needs to be back among the runs to have any chance of making it back into the Bangladesh side in the next 12 months. He showed good form in the latter stages of the Dhaka Premier League, but would need to do a lot more to get back his 2014-15 vibe.Below the radar Left-arm quick Sajidul Islam has had limited opportunities at every level, despite possessing the ability to bring the ball back into both right and left-handed batsmen. He has had some success at the top level, but in domestic cricket, Sajidul suffers from the lack of pace-friendly pitches.Rajshahi Division, second place Big Picture Five-time NCL champions Rajshahi Division need to put their act together to get themselves out of the second tier. After winning the title for the last time in 2011-12, their form has disintegrated in the last two years.They will once again rely on Jahurul Islam, Farhad Reza, Farhad Hossain and Junaid Siddique, with help from Saqlain Sajib, Muktar Ali and Delwar Hossain in the bowling department.It is a pity not to have Rajshahi in the top tier of Bangladeshs first-class competition, but playing as a team will be high in their priority list this season, if they are to return to their best.Key playerFarhad Hossain has been Rajshahis top performer for a number of years and always finds a way to finish among the top ten scorers in the competition every season. He will need to have one of those seasons again.Below the radarNazmul Hossain Shanto played for Bangladesh Under-19s in the World Cup this year and for Abahani in the Dhaka Premier League. But this competition will give him ample time to score big runs.Sylhet Division, third place Big Picture Sylhet Division have all their stalwarts to pull them out of Tier-2 this year.dddddddddddd Rajin Saleh, Alok Kapali, Imtiaz Hossain and Enamul Haque jnr will have to bring their A-game to the NCL this season.They also have a number of youngsters like Abul Hasan, Abu Jayed and wicketkeeper Zakir Hasan to get them out of trouble from time to time. They are one of the least successful first-class teams in the country, but they have all the potential to make it to the next tier at the end of this season.Key playerImtiaz Hossain has always been a heavy scorer. During this years Dhaka Premier League, his run-making, which translated into winning scores, caught everyones attention. He will have to keep Sylhet on firm ground throughout the tournament, and it will also help him progress as he heads into the last stretch of his career.Below the radarEbadat Hossain is a pace bowler who was discovered during a pace bowling hunt from earlier this year. He works for the Bangladesh navy, for whom he played volleyball for a number of years. But he has been identified as someone who can bowl fast with proper training, and staying with the NCL team would help him immensely.Chittagong Division, last place Big Picture There are very few good things to be said about Chittagong Division who finished last among all eight teams in the two tiers. The last few years have been quite bad for the countrys second-most affluent division, which also boasts a BPL team and a league of its own.But apart from Mominul Haque, Tasamul Haque, Nazimuddin, Mahbubul Karim and a few others, the Chittagong side has a long way to go. Mohammad Saifuddin, Yasir Ali and Irfan Sukkur are young players who offer a lot of promise, but they need proper fitness and skill development to take them to the next level.Key playerMominul Haque will once again be the only person of interest when Chittagong plays in the NCL. He is a Test regular, but the Bangladesh team management have left him out of the limited-overs teams for a long time now, and he has all the motivation to do well in the NCL.Below the radarMohammad Saifuddin impressed everyone in the Under-19 World Cup, but was reported for a suspected bowling action later and got injured in the Dhaka Premier League. The right-arm medium pacer has remodeled his action and will be looked at with some interest as he is also a capable batsman.For a preview of teams from tier one, click here.Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jerseys [url=http://www.jerseysnhlfromsseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
