STARKVILLE, Miss. Wholesale Yeezy 350 v2 Zebra . -- Mississippi State has been one of the most stable programs in the Southeastern Conference over the last several years, making a school-record six straight bowl games.If the Bulldogs (2-2, 1-1 SEC) want to make it seven in a row, the next four weeks could be crucial. The stretch of winnable games -- which includes Auburn, BYU, Kentucky and Samford -- starts with a home matchup against the Tigers (3-2, 1-1) on Saturday.Even with the friendly schedule, the Bulldogs probably will have to play much better in October than they did in September.Coach Dan Mullen used part of the teams bye week to try to find places where the Bulldogs can improve.His takeaway: Most of the work needs to be done between his players ears.Its execution and playing with confidence, Mullen said. There are a lot more plays out there to be made than were making. But I think a lot of that comes with confidence and experience and being out there. Games always happen a little faster for young guys.If Mississippi State cant win at least three of its four October games, its hard to imagine the program making a run at the postseason because of an extremely difficult November that includes games against Alabama, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Mississippi. All four teams are currently in the national rankings.The Bulldogs have shown reasons for both optimism and concern so far this season.Sophomore quarterback Nick Fitzgerald has had two impressive games in Mississippi States wins, including 305 yards passing and 110 yards rushing in the 47-35 victory over UMass on Sept. 24.The problem is, if Fitzgerald doesnt put up huge numbers, the Bulldogs dont win. He struggled in losses to South Alabama and LSU, getting replaced by backup Damian Williams by the end of the game.Theres no obvious answer for who can step up and help carry the offensive load -- especially when it comes to the running game.Fitzgerald leads the team with 329 yards rushing. The teams three main running backs -- Brandon Holloway, Ashton Shumpert and Aeris Williams -- have combined for 391 yards on the ground.The 5-foot-8, 165-pound Holloway is the teams speedy back while Williams and Shumpert are the power options. All of them have had good moments, but none seems capable of being a full-time option.Mullen doesnt see that as a problem.All of the backs run with a little different style, Mullen said. So even when youre running the same play, they hit it a little differently. So it does give you some different options.Then theres the defense, which looked a little shaky in giving up four passing touchdowns and 35 points to UMass.Mississippi States pass defense ranks just 11th out of 14 league teams, giving up 245.5 yards per game. Thats despite games against LSU and South Carolina, which rely heavily on the running game.Mullen hopes that the imminent return of senior cornerback Cedric Jiles (broken arm) and senior defensive lineman Will Coleman (back surgery) can help stabilize things and provide depth. Both have been out all year with injuries.Itll be good to see some veteran bodies out there, Mullen said.---Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .

The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. CHARLOTTE, N.C. --?Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton called speculation over why he was benched for the first series of Sundays loss at Seattle falsified stories.The reigning NFL MVP said Thursday that the truth was just as he and coach Ron Rivera had said after the game.I violated the wardrobe [policy], and thats it, said Newton, who was punished for not wearing the required tie on the flight to Seattle. You dont have to dig into certain stories that I violated curfew, was out at a club, somebody was calling the room. I still stand by Coach Riveras decision, and thats just a warning for everybody.At no point in time -- or even still -- do I think Im above the law. I never thought that. Im not that type of player.Newton said the whole situation could have been prevented had he had the proper attire for the trip.He said those who dont believe him dont really know him.When you start hearing falsified stories from the people that really know you, thats when it really affects you, he said. And I havent.It is what it is.Asked whether hes been treated fairly this season, Newton said, If I was trying to impress every single person that thought I was an a--h---, then I would be drained. Im me.There also has been speculation that Newtons numbers are down this season because he had too much going on during the offseason with his Nickelodeon television series and other outside interests and that he didnt properly prepare.Newton threw a career-high 35 touchdown passes to go along with 10 rushing touchdowns en route to the MVP award a year ago, when Carolina went 15-1 during the regular season and reached the Super Bowl.During this 4-8 season, he has only 14 touchdown passes and five rushing touchdowns, and his 54.7 completion percentage has him on target for a career low.Newton said that preparation has nothing to do with his dropp in statistics or the team record. Wholesale Yeezy 350 v2 Clay. Distractions come every single day, from family, from media, from workload, he said. Its my job to put myself in the best situation to succeed. I understand were not having the season we wanted to have, but theres no need for people to just maliciously go out and say, Well, he was doing too much. He was doing this. Hes worried about this.Thats the easy route.Rivera said he was very comfortable with his quarterbacks preparation, adding that people dont see the amount of time Newton puts in during the offseason or season.Thats unfortunate and disappointing that people draw conclusions based off other things, Rivera said. The young man is dedicated, and when he comes here, its phenomenal.Newton couldnt say whether he would do the Nickelodeon show again during the offseason.Life is bigger than football, he said. So if youre questioning certain things that Im doing, I have a whole other list of requirements and duties that I need to take care of.Outside of football I do have a life. Football takes up a lot of my life, and I appreciate it. This is the life I chose. Im not complaining. All Im telling you and just everybody is Im human. Thats the moral of the story.Newton doesnt know why his numbers are down, although catastrophic injuries to the offensive line havent helped.I can tell you its not because of preparation, he said. We get ridiculed off our production on the field, so it doesnt how much I prepare, if it doesnt transfer onto the field people will just say, Ah, hes just garbage.For me, its trying to get it to carry over from practice to games. In this situation and this season, it just hasnt turned over. And I dont have nobody to blame but myself. ' ' '
