WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Theres a goat prancing on the front of the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy, which is housed at the U.S. Naval Academy, and theres a falcon and mule itching to replace it.Just the pride and playing for that is a pretty big deal, Army coach Jeff Monken said. I dont know that there is a more important goal we have than winning the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy and trying to bring the trophy back here, so it makes it a big game.That big game, the second leg of the round-robin competition between the three service academies, will be staged Saturday at West Point when Air Force (5-3) visits Michie Stadium. The Falcons can win the coveted hardware, emblematic of supremacy among the three schools, for the 20th time with a victory since they dispatched the Middies 28-14 last month.A victory by Army (5-3) would be doubly sweet: It would give the Black Knights six wins for only the second time in 20 years and give them the chance to win the trophy outright for only the seventh time since its inaugural year in 1972. Army plays Navy in December in their traditional season finale.Air Force has had Armys number in this series. The Falcons lead 35-14-1, have won all but two of the last 19 games, and are 13-10 at Michie Stadium.Still, this Army team has been a resilient bunch and seems poised for a breakthrough in a game that will feature two of the top running teams in the nation. Armys triple option is averaging 342.1 yards rushing to rank second nationally and Air Force is fifth at 295.9.Two weeks ago, Army self-destructed with seven turnovers against North Texas and lost 35-18 at home to a team it had been heavily favored to beat. The Black Knights responded with a clutch victory last week at Wake Forest, dominating the fourth quarter in a comeback 21-13 victory that deprived the Demon Deacons of their sixth win of the season.They gave such a great effort and played the brand of football that we talk about -- being tough and physical, and finishing every play and drive, Monken said.The Falcons are on the rebound, too. They defeated Fresno State 31-21 last week to snap a three-game losing streak in the Mountain West Conference.Were a grizzled group. Were the ultimate grinders football team, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said. Thats our discipline. We will not absolutely razzle, dazzle. Weve got really good workers.Other things to know when Air Force visits Army:MISTAKES HURT: In its first four victories, Army did not commit a turnover. It had two against Wake Forest and still won, but in losses at Buffalo and Duke the Black Knights had six turnovers. On the season, turnover margin is a stalemate: Army has had seven interceptions and lost eight fumbles, while its defense has 12 interceptions and three fumble recoveries.STOP THE RUN: Two of Air Forces losses came against New Mexico and Wyoming. Theyre the only teams that have rushed for more than 100 yards against the Falcons this season. The Lobos had 373 and the Cowboys 189.WHOS AT QB: The Falcons have a banged-up quarterback. Starter Nate Romine left the Fresno State game with an ankle injury, and sophomore Arion Worthman guided the Falcons to the win. He entered midway through the third quarter and ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns as the Falcons overcame a four-point deficit. Calhoun was noncommittal on his starter: Whos going to play out there is going to run our offense, he said.TIME HEALS: Both teams thrive on time of possession. Army has held the ball for an average of nearly 36 minutes a game, while Air Force is at just over 33 minutes to rank 21st nationally. The Falcons have won TOP in six games, five of them victories.DEFENSIVE DUEL: The Army defense has allowed an average of only 16.5 points and ranks third in the country in total defense, allowing 266.8 yards per game. Air Force is 22nd in total defense (348.2). Air Force held Navy, who was fifth in the nation in rushing with a 316.3 average, to 57 yards on the ground.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.orgAP Top 25 Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947Yeezy 700 Pas Cher Chine . 1 position.

Acheter Tn Pas Cher .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team.Playing 75 minutes with a man down was uncharted territory for Englands defence guru Paul Gustard but he took immense pride in the way they rallied and readjusted to beat Argentina 27-14.Before Saturday, Englands finest defensive performance under Jones came in Melbourne where they made three times as many tackles as Australia and won the Test 23-7. But Saturdays win over Argentina was on that level, according to Gustard.Gustard took some of the criticism levelled at Englands defence in the wake of their wins over South Africa and Fiji personally. World Cup-winner Lawrence Dallaglio said he felt Englands defence lacked aggression, but they answered those critics with a superb defensive performance against the Pumas on Saturday.I believe in the team that weve got and in what were trying to do, Gustard said. The fact that we conceded three tries to Fiji and the late score versus South Africa isnt indicative of how well we defended in patches of those games.Today we were down to 13 men for large patches, two periods of ten minutes, and 14 men for most of the match. It was an incredible performance.It was far from straightforward. The red card and pair of sin-binnings meant their defensive line, the scrum and on-field positioning was constantly reorganised. Players had to drift out of position, play in unfamiliar areas of the field but they were rarely stretched.Sitting proudly in the coaches box was Gustard, the man who turned to a 1930s poem for inspiration ahead of that win in Melbourne. He isnt someone who does things the usual way - he once brought in wolves to Saracens training to forge their wolfpack mentality - and brought in a new, undisclosed approach for training ahead of their match aggainst the Pumas.dddddddddddd dont want to be an ordinary coach, Gustard said after their win over Argentina. I dont coach bog standard, I try to be a little bit different and give some of my personality to the players.There was a different theme on Tuesday and our players bought into it. We got back to some of the things we were doing prior to the last two weeks.Some of the things came to fruition today. We were under massive duress and massive pressure which takes away your line speed in defence. We scrambled very well.In Australia we learned that we needed improve on that area. We tried to focus on in the first two weeks and by doing that, unfortunately, we lost some of our pressure on the opposition. We got 27 spilt balls or turnovers off these guys which was an incredible effort.Gustard was delighted with the performance of Chris Robshaw and Courtney Lawes and praised Owen Farrells role in leading the defensive charge for the backs.Up next for England are Australia. The agenda this week will revolve around Englands 13-match unbeaten run which included their 3-0 series win on Australian soil in June. Gustard will be preparing for another match packed with aggression and inevitably, unpredictability. For all of us, the next game is the most important game, Gustard said. We want to put our best foot forward. The fact is that Australia is the next game.We beat them 3-0 down there and motivation will be exceptionally high. You can channel a lot of that motivation into the first 20 minutes so it will be a titanic battle to start off with. Were looking forward to it. ' ' '
