Mike McGlinchey Hoodie . -- Florida State quarterback Sean Maguire has a broken bone in his right foot, putting freshman Deondre Francois in position to open the season as the starter.Coach Jimbo Fisher revealed the injury Saturday after the teams practice, saying Maguire broke the bone Wednesday. The injury wasnt known until Friday when the senior felt discomfort toward the end of practice.Maguire is in a walking boot and Fisher said a screw will be inserted into the foot Monday. Fisher also said it is likely that the 6-foot-3, 232-pound senior would miss 3-4 weeks and could be ready to return by the Seminoles second game against Charleston Southern on Sept. 10. Florida State opens the season Sept. 5 in Orlando against Mississippi.He was sad about it but there was no hesitation from him on quickly getting it fixed and coming back as soon as possible, Fisher said about Maguire.It is Maguires second injury in less than nine months. He missed spring practices after having surgery for a broken left ankle suffered in the Peach Bowl loss to Houston. Maguire started five games of the final six games last season and was able to consistently move the offense as he completed 59.3 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions.Francois put himself into contention for the starting spot with a solid spring and threw a pair of touchdowns in the spring game. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound redshirt freshman ran the scout team last season but was considered by many recruiting services to be the nations top dual threat quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class.Francois potential and athleticism as a running and passing quarterback has drawn comparisons to former Florida State standout Jameis Winston.Eyeballs are going to be on him anyway so not one thing changes, Fisher said of Francois. He has had some good and some bad practices. He is right about where I thought he would be. He started practices as the co-starting number one, so I must feel pretty good about him.A bigger concern for Fisher would be who steps in if Francois was injured. J.J. Cosentino has seen limited action and struggled in the Peach Bowl while true freshman Malik Henry was an early enrollee but hasnt worked with the first unit.This would be the second time in four years a redshirt freshman has started at QB for the Seminoles. In 2013, Winston won the Heisman and led them to the schools third national championship after a 13-0 season.
Cheap 49ers Hoodies . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

http://www.cheap49ershoodiesjerseys.com/kentavius-street-hoodie/ . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Blake Koch changed goals in a hurry.The driver for a first-year Xfinity Series team knew coming into season that competing for a title sounded like a far-fetched notion. Then came the series first-ever Chase championship format.When they announced the Chase, it was like, `Man, thats a good goal, to make the Chase, Koch said at Darlington Raceway last weekend. Now here we are and its a realistic goal.After more than a decade of success and format tweaks at the Sprint Cup level, NASCAR has brought its playoffs to its two other series, Xfinity and Camping World Trucks. Twelve Xfinity drivers and eight truck racers will go through Sprint Cup-style eliminations until things are decided in a triple-header championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.The new format means many, many drivers are learning how to chase. And the cutoff is down to the wire as racers in both series have two more chances to make the field.In this case, it gives the Xfinity drivers something to really go after, said Justin Allgaier, a one-time Cup driver now racing fulltime in NASCARs second-tier series. It gives you a chance to really go out there and be better.Think getting in doesnt matter? Just watch the Ricky Bobby-style ending of last weeks truck race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. John Hunter Nemechek , previously qualified for the playoffs with a series win, and first-racer-out Cole Custer slammed into each other down the stretch and were off the track and in the grass as they crossed the finish line with Nemechek inches ahead. A short time later, Custer ran full bore at his rival and took him to the ground with a body slam.We didnt wreck him for the win, rubbing is racing, said Nemechek, the 19-year-old son of Front Row Joe Nemechek.Nonetheless, Custer is ninth -- and out of playoff contention if things started this week.The Chase format is what we need in our sport, said Elliott Sadler , the Xfinity points leader and last weeks winner at Darlington. Ive seen huge success at the Cup level, especially among fans. Man, it really ramps up the pressure and intensity ffor the last couple of weeks of the season.

There are no Chase 101 guidebooks for drivers to study in preparation.Koch, who is without a win, sits 11th among the 12 Xfinity Chase drivers, 22 points ahead of No. 13 Dakoda Armstrong. Team strategy meetings include a mix of keeping smart to avoid race-ending wrecks and staying aggressive for a win or top finish to lock up a playoff spot.Its a little different, Koch said.The Chase format was a big reason Xfinity signed on as a 10-year sponsor two seasons ago, according to Matt Lederer, senior director of sports marketing at Comcast. Lederer said the company liked how unknown drivers like Chase Elliott, who won a series title in 2014, could make a name in the sport through the Xfinity Series before moving up to Sprint Cup.When NASCAR came and brought the Chase idea to us, we said from a brand and marketing side, it fits really, really well, he said.Allgaier, who spent 2014 and 2015 running Sprint Cup fulltime, is qualified for the playoffs. He didnt make the Cup grid last year, but was part of strategizing and talk in the garage.Im not going to say that it makes me any better because of it, Allgaier said. But at least it preps me for what challenges I think are going to be there.Chris Buescher won the last Chase-less Xfinity title in 2015 and is in the Sprint Cup playoffs with a race at Richmond to go. Buescher has a win at rain-shortened Pocono and is clinging to 30th in points, the last place a driver with a victory can be and still qualify.He said he is proud consistency earned him a title last year and is mindful thats not the case this fall.The problem with it is if you run into one accident in three races and youre in a bad spot where before it was one accident in 36 (races) and you can recover, he said. Its going to be about all-out speed.Still, the new formats timing is not great for everyone.I just wish maybe now theyd have waited one year before they did it, laughed series leader Sadler.
