COLUMBIA, Mo. Shawn Matthias Jersey . -- Its up to Barry Odom to put a halt to the negativity surrounding Missouri. The new coach certainly seems confident he can get the program back on its feet.Well, its going to be really hard to get me down, Odom said after the first day of fall workouts. I think weve got a chance to win championships here.The news has been all dismal, on and off the field, the last several months.The Tigers slid to 5-7 last year, including 1-7 to share the cellar in the SEC East, in Gary Pinkels final season before resigning to battle cancer. Two productive defensive linemen were dismissed before drills began, and thats not to mention carry over from campus upheaval.Protests last fall led to the team threatening to boycott a game if changes werent made in the administration. Pinkel and then-athletic director Mack Rhoades backed the players.Now theres a new coach and AD, too, with Jim Sterk appointed this week.Were not a campus of turmoil, Sterk said.The 39-year-old Odom was defensive coordinator last year for a unit ranked ninth in the nation, allowing 302 yards per game, after resume-building the previous three seasons as defensive coordinator at Memphis. That earned the nod to replace Pinkel, who won consecutive SEC East titles in 2013-14 and is the school career wins leader with 118.Missouri will need to keep scores down again given concerns on the other side of the ball. The offense produced just 13.6 points per game, has no returning starters on the line and lacks proven producers at the skill positions, raising the challenge for new offensive coordinator Josh Heupel.Sophomore quarterback Drew Lock was highly touted out of high school but threw just four touchdown passes after taking over last fall.I told our guys weve got to live up to our expectations, not so much to media or conference or any of those things, defensive coordinator Demontie Cross said. We know what were capable of.KEY GAMESThe toughest stretch could be early in conference play with LSU (Oct. 1) and Florida (Oct. 15) both on the road. Both schools are projected to finish second in their respective divisions. Itll help a bit to have a week off between games.PREDICTIONA 7-5 finish is doable if the offense can produce just a little more and Missouri avoids stumbles but it very easily could be 5-7 again.BIG HITSDefensive line depth was a strength and itll be tested after the dismissal of Walter Brady Jr. for violation of team rules and Harold Brantley due to academics. Brady tied for the team lead with seven sacks.I cant wait for the year to show everybody, tackle Rickey Hatley said. The whole D-line is going to be real good.Junior end Charles Harris was a standout with seven sacks last season and senior linebacker Michael Scherer is an experienced hand. Dont forget sophomore tackle Terry Beckner, one of Missouris most heralded recruits in years and looking strong coming off knee surgery.Missouri must replace production of departed linebacker Kentrell Brothers, a second-team SEC pick.CAPTAINS WAITPinkel generally named captains on the first day of practice following team vote. Odom is waiting to see who steps up.Things change from the first day of camp before you get to Sept. 3, so Im challenging our team, Odom said.SEASON OPENERThe Tigers begin Sept. 3 at West Virginia, a much more challenging foe than in recent seasons. Skyler Howard set a Cactus Bowl record with 532 yards passing in a 43-42 victory over Arizona State. The Mountaineers were 8-5 last year and are predicted to finish seventh in the Big 12. Theyre inexperienced at linebacker and the secondary with just one starter back.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Jets Jerseys For Sale . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. Mark Scheifele Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . www.winnipegjetsjerseyscheap.com/?tag=michael-hutchinson-jersey . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat.Roy Hodgson has until midnight on Tuesday 31 May to trim his 26-man squad to the 23 players hell take to Euro 2016. But who will miss out? Hodgson is expected to issue his final squad list this afternoon, after a training session in Watford, a delayed announcement after the injury to Danny Welbeck forced a late change of plans.Back-to-back 2-1 friendly wins over Turkey and Australia will have left the England manager with plenty to think about - especially after 18-year-old wildcard Marcus Rashford scored on his international debut on Friday night. Hodgson coy on final selection Roy Hodgson on his selection dilemmas ahead of Euro 2016 Here, we look at seven players whose inclusion is far from certain and consider their chances of making Hodgsons final squad…Jack Wilshere  Jack Wilshere appears to have proved his fitness to Hodgson After playing 66 minutes against Turkey and the first-half of Englands win over Australia, it seems Jack Wilshere remains a key figure for Roy Hodgson. The inclusion of the Arsenal midfielder in the initial squad despite an injury-ravaged season in which he made just three first-team appearances highlighted Hodgsons faith in Wilshere and he now seems set for a ticket to Euro 2016.Both of them [Wilshere and Jordan Henderson] are a little bit short of match fitness but certainly for Jack Wilshere the last couple of games shows that his lack of match fitness isnt very evident. I thought he was very good in the first half he played [against Australia], said Hodgson.Former England caretaker boss Peter Taylor is also adamant Wilshere should go to France. Speaking after the win over Turkey, he told Sky Sports News HQ: Wilshere is so different, such a clever player, he could play for Barcelona. Hes such a talented player. You want that type of different midfield player for your options, whether you start him or bring him on as sub. Id be wrapping him up in cotton wool.Marcus Rashford Marcus Rashford was congratulated by Hodgson on Friday Marcus Rashford was 3/1 to make Englands final 23 when the provisional squad was first named. Only Fabian Delph was more likely to be axed. But after a stunning introduction to international football - combined with injury concerns for Daniel Sturridge - the Manchester United teenager could be on his way to Euro 2016.It took the 18-year-old just three minutes to find the net against Australia and Hodgson was full of praise for the youngster after the game. What a debut. Im pleased for him, said the England boss.But I wasnt surprised with the way he played. He was always one of the players who was seriously competing for a place in the 23 and hes done his chances of travelling with us no harm. He wouldnt be out of place in anyones 23.Ross Barkley Ross Barkley was a second-half sub against Australia Ross Barkley enjoyed his most productive season with Everton in the Premier League in 2015/16, scoring eight times and registering the same number of assists. However, a drop-off in form towards the end of the campaign appears to have damaged his chances of a key role for England this summer and he was overlooked for a starting spot in either friendly.A raw talent, Barkley is likely to be an important figure for England in years to come and remaiins a likely traveller to France - if only as a squad member. Laurie Boschman Jersey. .  Andros Townsend Andros Townsend hopes to have made an impression Andros Townsend was out of the England reckoning in March but forced his way back into Hodgsons plans with an impressive run of form for Newcastle. However, after playing just 14 minutes across the two friendlies this month, his position in the camp is once again in doubt.Everyones desperate to go to a major tournament, he said after his run-out against Australia. What a huge honour it would be if I did, but Ive done what I can and now well see what the manager decides.Townsend is one of few genuine wingers in Hodgsons provisional squad and has enjoyed a number of fine performances in an England shirt under the manager. But he is likely to be one of the names debated by Hodgson and his coaching staff.Danny Drinkwater Danny Drinkwater played 90 minutes against Australia He may have been an integral part of Leicester Citys Premier League title win but Danny Drinkwater is among the three favourites to be cut from Hodgsons group of 26. The central midfielder was subbed on for the final 17 minutes against Turkey but played the full 90 against Australia.With Eric Dier, Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson vying for a similar role in the team, he could be the unfortunate one to miss out. Dier seems set for a starting spot, while Wilshere has been praised by Hodgson, who also dismissed concerns over Hendersons fitness problems.Daniel Sturridge Daniel Sturridge has missed both friendlies with injury Daniel Sturridge was Englands first-choice striker at the World Cup but injuries have limited the Liverpool mans playing time over the past two seasons and, despite returning for the Reds run-in, a calf problem kept him out of both international friendlies this month.The forward is due to return to training on Sunday and Hodgson has told the press his injury problem isnt likely to affect his ability to play in Englands Euro 2016 opener against Russia on June 10. However, the manager also stopped short of backing Sturridge for a place in the squad. It seems the 26-year-olds tournament chances remain up for discussion.Fabian Delph Fabian Delph is all but out of contention for a place in the final squad Manchester Citys Fabian Delph was a surprise inclusion in Hodgsons provisional squad of 26, given his injury problems and struggles to break into Manuel Pellegrinis plans this season. Now, a groin injury has effectively ruled him out of contention for a place on the plane.The midfielder was unable to travel to Sunderland for Fridays friendly with Australia and Hodgson said: That means probably he wont be with us either in the final 23, unless, of course, we have injuries. Ive put him on a standby list and he understands and accepts that.
