West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said his team quickly moved on from its first loss of the season.It might also help that Kansas is the next opponent.The 14th-ranked Mountaineers (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) return home for a Saturday game against Kansas (1-7, 0-5), beginning at 7 p.m. ET from Morgantown, W.Va.Theyve been good, Holgorsen said about his players reaction to a 37-20 loss at Oklahoma State last weekend. The one thing that I dont really have to worry about is the fact that these guys like to play football, they like to prepare to get themselves in position to play.The Jayhawks are tied with Iowa State at the bottom of the Big 12 standings, and second-year coach David Beaty is winless in 14 conference games. The major problem this season has been turnovers; the Jayhawks have committed 27 of them -- three more than any team in the country.You can tell on each side of the ball theyve gotten better, Holgorsen said.They have had chances to win. I think one things we learned last week -- and the biggest point I made with the team -- is we have to play our best every week, or youll get beat. Its no different this weekend.West Virginia allowed 37 points to the Cowboys last week, but that came after a terrific three-game stretch in which it gave up a total of 43 points to Kansas State, Texas Tech and TCU. The Mountaineers should be stout against a Kansas offense that hasnt reached double-digit points in three of the past six games.The Jayhawks were throttled 56-3 at Oklahoma last Saturday.They started well, playing the Sooners even through much of the first quarter before surrendering 49 points over the next two periods. Beatys Air Raid attack managed only 121 yards through the air, a season-low, as Kansas opened with six first downs in the first quarter and finished with 11.After launching the season with a 55-6 victory against lower-division Rhode Island, the Jayhawks have dropped seven straight to FBS opponents by an average of 29.7 points.I said this after the game the other night, man, weve got the right guys in this program, Beaty said Tuesday.I love those guys, and it makes it easy to come to work every day when youve got guys like those guys. They are resilient, and their mind and heart is in the right place when it comes to why they do what they do.Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart, who regained his starting spot before the Oct. 22 loss to Oklahoma State, again appeared uncomfortable last Saturday, often throwing hurried screens and slants that gained little against the Sooners. He finished 20 of 36 for 120 yards, with two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.Absolutely, hes our guy, Beaty said of Cozart starting against West Virginia.Mountaineers quarterback Skyler Howard was intercepted twice last week in what was his most inefficient game of the season. His steady play helped propel WVU to its 6-0 start, and he has completed 159 of 242 passes for 2,033 yards, with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.Howard is 27th nationally in passing efficiency with a rating of 149.0.Starting running back Rushel Shell (103 carries for 503 yards) is the teams leading rusher, but he left last weeks game in the first half with a lower-body injury. It is not expected to be a long-term setback, although Holgorsen was unclear about Shells status as of Tuesday.If he cant go, that means more time for Justin Crawford (82 carries, 458 yards), backed by Kennedy McKoy.Kansas gave TCU a huge scare, missing a field goal in the final seconds of a 24-23 loss, but this matchup figures to be the easiest game left for the Mountaineers, who are tied for third in the Big 12, trailing Oklahoma (5-0) and Oklahoma State (4-1). The rest of West Virginias schedule -- at Texas, vs. Oklahoma, at Iowa State and vs. Baylor.The Big 12 hasnt had an unbeaten champ since it went to single-division play in 2011.That was mentioned after the game -- you lose one, youre still in good shape, Holgorsen said.Were disappointed in losing, thats no question. ... Its not the end of the world. If you pin your whole season on one loss, theres going to be a lot of disappointed people in the country.Takkarist McKinley Womens Jersey . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Calvin Ridley Youth Jersey . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. http://www.thefaclonsshoponline.com/Youth-Julio-Jones-Falcons-Jersey/ . The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season. Takkarist McKinley Youth Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. Brett Favre Youth Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve.Stokes v Ashwin R Ashwin dismissed Ben Stokes for the fifth time in the series. A batsman should worry if theres a pattern developing in the dismissals. Stokes has a tendency to plant his front foot down the pitch, thats why hes often been away from the line of the ball. The thinking behind the footwork could be to protect the front pad from the straighter ball, but that has caused him to play the wrong line to the delivery that turns away from the left-hand batsman. Most of Stokes dismissals to Ashwin have been when the bowler has come around the stumps, and that line should have dictated that the front foot come slightly across.Moeen against the bouncer Moeen Alis dismissal highlighted the importance of having a defensive technique against the bouncer. The trap had been set and Moeen knew it too, but he was unable to defend or avoid them, and so played into the hands of the Indian fast bowlers. Its almost impossible to hit your way out of a bouncer trap. Moeens dismissal also asked a critical question - why had the Indian quicks bowled only two bouncers at him on the first day?Ishants full lengths On the first day, Ishant Sharma dismissed Keaton Jennings with a full ball. On the second he dismissed Jos Buttler with a full ball. But Ishant bowled only four to five full deliveries in Englands 157.2-over first innings. Either he had success with the full ball because it was a rare surprise or there is a case for him to bowl that length more often. Im tempted to say he should bowl full more often - Ishants height and high-arm action pushes the batsman back and a full ball is likely to cause more trouble.Ishant and Umesh Yadav conceded only three boundaries in front of the stumps. With the lack of llateral movement and pace off the pitch, it is expected that a fair amount of runs will be scored in front of the stumps.dddddddddddd The wagon-wheel, however, suggested that the Indian fast bowlers did not bowl lengths that brought batsmen forward.The difference between Ashwin and Mishra Amit Mishra and Ashwin bowl at a similar pace. Both have accurate pitch maps too. Why is it then, that Ashwin is vastly more effective than Mishra? The reason is fizz off the surface, which is a result of the extra rotations Ashwin puts on the ball. Mishra hasnt been able to put enough behind the ball and is therefore less effective. Without zip off the surface, Mishra is at his best when the batsmen are playing shots, and that explains his success in limited-over formats.Openers let-off by Cook The toughest assignment for opening batsmen is a seaming pitch on the first morning of a Test. The second toughest is opening after having fielded for 150 or more overs. Though conditions on the second day might not be as testing, the fatigue after fielding will challenge physical and mental strength. And there are only ten minutes in which to make the switch. Another thing you have to be wary of is believing the pitch is a featherbed because the other team has batted 150 overs. Every innings starts from scratch, so it was surprising to see the field set by Alastair Cook. For both KL Rahul, struggling for form, and Parthiv Patel, having kept wickets for 157.2 and a part-time opener, Cook had fielders at deep point and deep square leg. With 477 runs in the bank, Cook should have attacked more. ' ' '
