nd about 100 yards from the airports

With Mark Schlabachs most recent Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings as our guide, we have ranked everything from the weakest position groups to the teams summer issues. This week, where do teams turn when they need to complete a Hail Mary?1.?Alabama Crimson Tide Calvin RidleyAll you need to know is what happened during the SEC title game. Its late in the first half, Alabama trails Florida 7-5. Jake Coker throws a ball that travels roughly 60 yards and Ridley -- a true freshman -- comes down with it despite the two defenders draped around him. Those two DBs? Vernon Hargreaves, the 11th pick in the NFL draft, and Marcus Maye, a preseason All-SEC selection. Though Ridley might not be the tallest, his speed, athleticism and hands make him the best bet on any Alabama deep ball. -- Alex Scarborough2.?Clemson Tigers Mike WilliamsClemson missed its top deep threat a year ago, when Williams injured his neck after colliding with the goal post following a Week 1 touchdown. But hes back and healthy and eager to prove himself in 2016, and when it comes to big plays down the field, hes as good as anyone. Williams straight-line speed is impressive, which allows him to create separation with defenders, but at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, hes also incredibly physical and happy to challenge a DB for a jump ball. If Deshaun Watson is tossing a Hail Mary, theres probably not anyone else hed rather see going after it in the end zone. -- David M. Hale3.?Michigan WolverinesJake ButtA 6-6 frame qualifies Butt as a candidate for Michigan. In the past couple of years, he has mastered the art of using every inch of that frame to find separation in tight windows and catch contested balls. That will make him the go-to guy if the Wolverines have to heave up a prayer. --?Dan Murphy4. Florida State SeminolesAuden Tate When hes healthy, the 6-5, 225-pound Tate is the Seminoles best big target. Hes battling injuries in fall camp, but he was the star of the spring game with six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. --?Jared Shanker5.?Oklahoma SoonersJeffery MeadMead stands 6-5, 200 pounds, and as a former standout high school basketball player, is an excellent leaper, too. There would be few defensive backs out there who would be able to get above Mead in a Hail Mary situation. -- Jake Trotter6. LSU TigersMalachi Dupre At this time last year, you would have said Travin Dural. With his speed, he was able to burn defenses for seven touchdowns on only 37 receptions in 2013. Though Dural is back, hes no longer the go-to guy. After last season, its Malachi Dupre. Hes pretty fast, too, with six touchdowns and a 16.2 yards-per-catch average. An inch taller than Dural, the former No. 1-ranked receiver coming out of high school is the one you bet on to come down with the ball. -- Scarborough7. Stanford Cardinal Francis OwusuThe play design wasnt technically a Hail Mary, but when Kevin Hogan heaved an underthrown bomb to Owusu last season, it became a version of one. Owusu managed to make one of the most bizarre catches in college football history -- pinning the ball against the defenders back without seeing it -- to secure the touchdown. Combine that miraculous catching ability with 6-3 height, and the Cardinal have a Hail Mary target in Owusu. --David Lombardi8. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Torii Hunter Jr. Hunter has the surest hands on Notre Dame and might just be the Irishs most versatile player, having thrown a few passes and having played a few snaps at DB. And did we mention that, like his dad, hes also an outfielder? If he can leap anything like his dad could when robbing homers, hes certainly capable of coming down with a Hail Mary. --?Matt Fortuna9.?Ohio State BuckeyesTorrance Gibson There might still be some work to be done to prove he has the kind of consistent hands needed to be a reliable target for J.T. Barrett and the Ohio State passing attack. But when it comes to pure, freakish athleticism combined with 6-4 size to rise above a crowd, there is surely no better weapon to go up and grab a deep bomb than the redshirt freshman. A converted quarterback, he might be able to throw one, too. -- Austin Ward10. Tennessee Volunteers Jeff George Junior college transfer receiver Jeff George (no, not that Jeff George) stands a towering 6-6 and is just under 200 pounds. He looks even bigger in pads. Chances are if Joshua Dobbs is in a pinch and has to go deep, if George is there, he wont have much of an issue making plays in the clouds over defenders. --?Edward Aschoff11. USC Trojans Darreus Rogers Rogers has a big season in front of him. He has one final year to prove to NFL scouts his obvious natural ability can equal consistent production. One thing he doesnt need to prove, though, is if he can come with a Hail Mary catch. He proved that in 2014 when he caught a 48-yard Hail Mary against Oregon State. -- Kyle Bonagura12. Georgia Bulldogs Isaac Nauta Nauta has to be at the top of this list for the Dawgs. He has solid hands, stands 6-4 and weighs 246 pounds. So he has the height to Moss any unsuspecting defensive back and he has the weight to push guys around in the end zone. -- Aschoff13. Ole Miss Rebels Talbot Buys As it stands now, freshman D.K. Metcalf stands as Ole Miss tallest wide receiver at 6-4. So if the Rebels are looking for height from their wideouts on a Hail Mary, Metcalf is your guy. But here me out on this one. Consider offensive lineman Talbot Buys. Hes a reserve who stands an impressive 6-8. OK, trim him down, throw some conditioning at him and put him in the end zone. -- Aschoff14.?Oklahoma State Cowboys James WashingtonThere are few receivers in college football better at bringing down a jump ball than the Pokes Washington. The Big 12s only returning 1,000-yard wideout, Washington boasts tremendous agility and timing. He would be scary for opposing defenses in a Hail Mary situation. -- Trotter15.?Michigan State SpartansR.J. SheltonShelton had a modest 43 catches as a junior, but he made a few that saved Spartys Big Ten title hopes. Someone from the group of talented (and taller) underclassmen might usurp him by seasons end on this list. For now Shelton is the one to trust. --?Murphy16. Washington Huskies Connor GriffinAside from being 6-4, Griffin is a former Division I basketball player. The wide receiver was on Gonzagas team for a pair of NCAA tournament runs before transferring to play football for the Huskies, so theres every reason to believe he has the perfect skill set to box defenders out in traffic, elevate, and grab a rebound -- or, in the case of football, a Hail Mary heave. --?Lombardi17. Houston Cougars Isaiah Johnson The Cougars have a few choices but at 6-4 and possessing hurdling ability (he medaled at the Texas state championships as a senior), Isaiah Johnson is probably the best option for a last-second jump ball for the Cougars. As for an unconventional choice, how about 6-7 punter?Dane Roy, who hails from Australia and has experience jumping to catch torpedoes in Australian Rules Football? -- Sam Khan Jr.18. North Carolina Tar HeelsBug Howard This is an intriguing question for the Tar Heels this season after Quinshad Davis had filled this role -- the big man who loved to go up for a TD -- for the past few years. Mack Hollins is more of a straight-line runner, but he can certainly get separation on a deep ball. Tight end Brandon Fritts caught four TDs as a freshman last year, and he could develop into a physical threat on a jump ball, too. But the most likely candidate is Bug Howard, a 6-5 senior with a big wing span and good speed. He can find space and fight for a ball, which makes him an ideal candidate to haul in a Hail Mary. --?Hale19. Oregon Ducks Dwayne StanfordIf Stanford didnt pursue football, he probably could have made an impact for a college basketball program. The 6-5 senior averaged 7.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in his final high school basketball season, and those traits have translated to football as well. In three seasons with the Ducks, he has caught 84 passes and 11 touchdowns. --?Bonagura20.?TCU Horned Frogs Emanuel PorterWhen TCU needed a receiver to go up and make the big play last season, Josh Doctson was its guy. When Doctson was injured, Porter stepped up. The huge catches he made against Oklahoma and Oregon, with the game on the line, proved the junior can handle big moments. Hes the tallest receiver on the team, too, at 6-4. If TCU ever needs a Hail Mary, Porters going up for it. -- Max Olson21. Texas A&M Aggies Josh Reynolds Given their talent at receiver, the Aggies have a lot of options here, particularly of the tall variety. Ricky Seals-Jones (6-5) and Josh Reynolds (6-4) are options, as is the freakishly athletic Speedy Noil despite being 5-11. But since he was a talented hurdler on the track and has shown he can grab a jump ball consistently, Reynolds is probably the best bet. He has a large catch radius, attacks the ball and can get high in the air. Also, he has been the Aggies best at catching touchdowns the last two seasons, making him a natural for a late-game Hail Mary. --?Khan22. UCLA Bruins Alex Van DykeVan Dyke had a quiet first two seasons for the Bruins but has quietly emerged as a potential breakout candidate over the first week of training camp. At 6-4, he has two inches on the next two tallest UCLA receivers (not including tight ends) and aside from Eldridge Massington, who is 6-2, most of the teams receivers expected to make an impact are 6 feet or shorter. --?Bonagura23. Iowa HawkeyesMatt VandeBergVandeBerg is by far the most experienced receiver on the team, and the senior is one of the most surehanded players in the Big Ten. His drops-per-target percentage of 1.1 ranked No. 18 among FBS receivers last season. The 6-1 VandeBerg is not normally a big-time deep threat nor an elite athlete, but in a Hail Mary situation hed be the Hawkeye most likely to get his hands on the ball. --?Brian Bennett24. Miami HurricanesDavid NjokuNjoku turned into a big-play threat for Miami last season as the tight end led the team with an average of 17.2 yards per catch. One of the most athletically gifted players on the Hurricanes, the 6-4, 245-pound Njoku would be hard to defend on a jump ball. --?Shanker25.?Louisville CardinalsJamari StaplesThe UAB transfer has flown under the radar, but down the stretch last season he emerged as one of the ACCs top receivers. At 6-4 with above-average speed and an impressive 42-inch vertical leap, few defenders can outmaneuver Staples for a jump ball. He has strong hands, too, so if theres a pass that comes his way, hes always in good position to fight for it. More important, perhaps, he went all of last season without a single dropped pass, and a whopping 80 percent of his catches went for first downs. Thats reliability. --?Hale Scarpe Air Max2 Light Scontate . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position. Air Max Scontate Donne . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. http://www.airmaxitaliascarpe.it/scarpe-air-max-270-scontate.html . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. Scarpe Air Max Flair Scontate . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. Scarpe Air Max 270 Scontate . Its the second straight game Bell has scored in extra time for Kelowna, which beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals on the season. OKLAHOMA CITY -- A gunman lay in wait outside Oklahoma Citys Will Rogers World Airport on Tuesday before shooting and killing a Southwest Airlines employee in a premeditated attack that occurred while hundreds of people waited for flights nearby, police said.Michael Winchester, 52, was shot while walking between a crowded terminal and the airport employee parking area. The unidentified suspect was later found dead in a pickup truck in public parking garage overlooking the scene. Police said the suspect appeared to die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama said the shooter apparently knew the victims schedule and routine.This individual went there and waited for the employee to either be coming or going to take this opportunity, Balderrama said. He wouldnt say conclusively that it was a sniper-type attack.The 1 p.m. shooting set off a scramble at the airport, with police immediately closing the sprawling complex and asking passengers inside to seek cover.They diverted incoming flights and refused to give already-loaded aircraft permission to leave. There were concerns the gunman might have entered the terminal and mingled among passengers or employees.We have a heightened level of security all the time. These people have access to aircraft so were very concerned about that, airport spokeswoman Karen Carney said.Winchester- whose address is listed as Washington, Oklahoma, about 35 miles south of the airport -- was a former University of Oklahoma football player whose son James is a player for the Kansas City Chiefs.It is with great sorrow that Southwest Airlines confirms that a Southwest Employee who was injured during a shooting incident today at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City has died from injuries, the airline said in a statement. It canceled flights out of the city for the remainder of the day even though the rest of the terminal planned to reopen.Hundreds of people were stranded inside the terminal for more than three hours before officers began letting them leave slowly. Carney said about 300 people were held on aircraft away from the terminal after their planes landed ahead off a ground stop.ddddddddddddOnce police determined that a suspect found in a red pickup truck on the second floor of a public parking garage was dead, officers gave an all-clear.The airport handles between 7,000 and 8,000 passengers daily for Alaska, Delta, Southwest and United airlines and has a separate terminal that serves as a transfer center for federal inmates. A jet carrying inmates to the transfer site was allowed to land while the rest of the airport was shuttered.Video from a television station helicopter showed what appeared to be a pool of blood about 100 feet from the airports employee parking area -- and about 100 yards from the airports ticket counters and departure area.While airports have high security, it wasnt immediately known whether surveillance cameras might show the shooting, Balderrama said.Balderrama initially said police had received reports of a possible second victim, but no one was found.Police found the suspects truck in the garage about three hours after the shooting and determined that someone was inside. They were not sure whether he was dead or alive. After about 75 minutes, using a robot, officers determined the suspect was dead.A number of inbound flights were diverted to other airports after Will Rogers suspended operations. Southwest redirected one flight back to Dallas while a Las Vegas to Houston flight that stops in Oklahoma City went to Amarillo, Texas, instead. Two commercial flights from Chicagos OHare Airport were directed to Tulsa, about 100 miles away.Michael Winchester was a punter on the University of Oklahomas 1985 national championship team.Our hearts are truly heavy for the entire Winchester Family. Mike was a former Sooner student athlete as was his son James/daughter Carolyn, the schools athletic director, Joe Castiglione, tweeted Tuesday afternoon. He added daughter Becca was also a student athlete. Please keep this beautiful family in your prayers in a later tweet.---Associated Press reporters Ken A. Miller and Tim Talley contributed to this report. ' ' '
