LOS ANGELES -- Adoree Jackson thinks the only good things about a 46-point loss in a season opener are the 11 regular-season games that Southern California still has left to play. Joe Sakic Jersey .So the Trojans returned to work this week with a determination to make sure their humiliation at Alabamas hands wont send a talented USC team into a tailspin.A lot of people think that its the end of the season for us after our first game, but we just want to go out and show them that one game doesnt define you, said Jackson, the Trojans speedy defensive back. I think were hungry to get out there and play. Were pretty disappointed with the loss and how it happened in that fashion.The Trojans (0-1) get their first chance to make amends in an early-starting home opener against Utah State (1-0) on Saturday.USC couldnt hang with the defending national champions while breaking in a new starting quarterback and two new coordinators in Clay Heltons first season opener as head coach. And while much went wrong in the final three quarters for the Trojans, they still emerged with a perversely positive outlook on their progress toward the Pac-12 season.I think its just a good experience either way, said quarterback Max Browne, who got his first start out of the way without a serious injury. Obviously you want to win, but the experience moving forward, it was good to have that environment, I guess youd say.USC hasnt won a football game since Nov. 28, when it beat UCLA at the Coliseum. The Trojans have lost four of five in all, and while their current three-game skid -- against Stanford, Wisconsin and Alabama -- isnt exactly against a bunch of chumps, USC expects to be those programs equal, not their stepping stones.While Tuesdays practice was a bit chippy, the Trojans finished Wednesdays workouts with their usual upbeat enthusiasm, the defense bouncing and cheering on the sidelines while competing in drills with the offense.I think the guys are responding fine, Jackson said. Were still out there practicing like weve been practicing. Nothing has really changed. Were still doing the same preparations. You dont want to change just because a game like that happened. Weve got to do the same things coming in.Here are more things to watch when the Trojans open their home schedule in the stadium they now share with the Los Angeles Rams:NO PUSHOVERS: This is USCs easiest game in a murderous September schedule on paper, but the Aggies are no free pass. Utah State has the talent and history to make the Trojans month even worse, with nine starters returning to an offense that scored nearly 30 points per game last season. Devante Mays rushed for 208 of the Aggies 428 yards rushing in a season-opening win over Weber State, while quarterback Kent Myers smoothly took over the starting job after filling in extensively for Chuckie Keeton in recent years.CENTER LOSS: Brownes job got harder with the news that USC center Toa Lobendahn is out for the season after tearing two ligaments in his right knee during the Alabama game. Lobendahn, who didnt miss a play against the Tide, will redshirt this year. Nico Falah will take over the snapping duties against Utah State, while guard Chris Brown might move over at some point.DOUBLE COVERAGE: JuJu Smith-Schuster, USCs top receiver and a second-team All-American, was noticeably frustrated by Alabamas tight coverage in the opener, where he managed only one catch for 9 yards against the cover-2 defense. He could face similar coverage all season, but Browne believes he can still get the ball in Smith-Schusters hands. Theres also another plan for those double-teams: If thats the case, lets make Darreus Rogers a household name, Browne said of the Trojans No. 2 receiver.TOUCHDOWN QUEST: USC didnt get into the end zone against Alabama, and Browne is determined to remedy that problem early and often. Utah States defenses under coach Matt Wells have usually been solid, but the Trojans are determined to handle their pressure on Browne. They slant and angle a bunch, bring some pressure, so theyll be a little different, Browne said. I have to make sure were sound in our protections. J.T. Compher Jersey . Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game. The match started slowly for Ivanovic, who surrendered her first two serves as Hantuchova took a 5-3 lead. Semyon Varlamov Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. www.authenticavalancheshopnhl.com/mikko-rantanen-jersey/  . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. CHICAGO -- The Los Angeles Angels arent nearly where they want to be. At least theyre making progress. Mike Trout had two hits, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, to lead the Angels to a 7-5 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Los Angeles bullpen pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings for the win, and helped the Angels to their first consecutive victories since beating the Tigers three straight April 19-21. They also improved to 6-13 on the road. Their seven runs were the most since they scored eight in a 10-8 loss April 29 at Oakland. "Theyre all important," said Brendan Harris, who had three hits and a home run. "So if we can get two in a row and just get a little momentum, and everybody can exhale a little bit, its going lend itself better to really getting on a roll to really get going as we get into May." The Angels got their second win in a row thanks to a big third inning when they scored four times, and a bullpen that helped Los Angeles survive after expected starter Tommy Hanson was put on the restricted list early Friday. In his first start of the season, Barry Enright replaced Hanson, lasting 3 1-3 innings, giving up four hits and five runs. Relievers Mark Lowe, Michael Kohn (1-0), Dane De La Rosa and Ernesto Frieri then combined to blank the White Sox, who have lost four of six. Lowe relieved Enright and worked 1 2-3 scoreless innings, Kohn went an inning, De La Rosa two, then Frieri finished by striking out the side in the ninth for his sixth save in seven tries. "I think the length that we needed, plus the effectiveness, those guys stepped up big," manager Mike Scioscia said. Los Angeles, which won Thursday in Houston despite an umpiring error that led to a two-game suspension for crew chief Fieldin Culbreth, fell behind early. Alejandro De Aza gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead in the first with a leadoff home run. The home run was De Azas seventh of the season and seventh career leadoff homer. Hes done it three times this season, including on Wednesday at New York. De Aza is the first Chicago player to start consecutive games with a home run since Kenny Lofton in July 2002. The Angels scored four times in the third to take a 4-1 lead. Albert Pujols had a two-run double and Mark Trumbo an RBI single. Los Angeles built a 5-1 lead after Harris homered in the fourth, but the White Sox rallied for four runs in the bottom half of the inning to tie it. Sven Andrighetto Jersey. After that, the Los Angeles bullpen stifled the White Sox. Because of Hansons status and injuries to the Angels bullpen, De La Rosa figured Friday might be a long night. "When I do get the ball Im willing to throw however many innings they actually need me," he said. In the seventh, Hank Conger reached on Conor Gillaspies error to start the inning and scored on Trouts sharp single to right off reliever Matt Lindstrom that gave the Angels a 6-5 lead. J.B. Shuck then scored on a passed ball. "We battled back and you give them multiple opportunities and youre going to pay for it," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Thats just the name of it right there. You just cant give these guys a lot of opportunities." In six-plus innings, Chicago starter Dylan Axelrod allowed six runs and seven hits. Axelrod (0-3) left after Gillaspies error in the seventh. "The whole game, I felt really good. Its just an unfortunate thing that they got some runs in the third. Thats the frustrating part, where you feel great out there and still give up some runs," Axelrod said. "I cant be that disappointed in my effort because I felt I executed pretty well and they just happened to score." Scioscia, meanwhile, saw his offence score seven runs and his bullpen finish off a needed win, both of which are some of "the components that you need to start to build momentum." "It feels good to get this one and move onto tomorrow," he said. NOTES: Scioscia was asked Friday if owner Arte Moreno needed to give him a public vote of confidence and said "not for what I do. Not for my benefit." Los Angeles entered Friday having lost five of its last seven, fueling speculation about the job security of the Angels manager, whos in his 14th season. ... White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham took 100 swings off a tee before Fridays game. Beckham is on the disabled list after breaking his left hamate bone April 9 in Washington and having surgery on April 16. ... Angels infielder Erick Aybar was not in the lineup after experiencing tightness in his right hamstring Thursday in Houston. Scioscia said Aybar and reliever Scott Downs, who injured his right foot Thursday, are both day-to-day. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap Wholesale Authentic Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '
