AUBURN, Ala. -- Kamryn Pettway is returning to Auburns backfield just in time for the biggest challenge of the season.The 16th-ranked Tigers 1,000-yard rusher is expected to play Saturday against No. 1 Alabama after missing the past two games with a left leg injury, coach Gus Malzahn said on Tuesday.The status of quarterback Sean White remains uncertain with a right, throwing shoulder injury. Jeremy Johnson replaced him as the starter against Alabama A&M, with John Franklin III also playing. Malzahn said he didnt expect to make that decision until after practicing Tuesday and Wednesday.Pettways expected return supplies a big boost to the Southeastern Conferences top rushing team, especially facing the nations No. 1 run defense.The 6-foot, 240-pounder has run for 1,106 yards despite missing three games and failing to log a carry in the opener.Hes one of our impact players, Malzahn said. Hes one of the best running backs in all of college football and one of the best in our league. Any time you have a guy like that back, it changes things. It changes things in a good way for us.He said he wasnt sure if Pettway would be 100 percent. Pettway pulled up with the injury at the end of a 60-yard run against Vanderbilt.Kerryon Johnson, who has been nursing an ankle injury, shouldered much of the load in his absence. With 823 yards, hes also closing in on 1,000.H-back Chandler Cox also returns from a leg injury to block for the two backs.Now, Whites status is the big question. He was leading the SEC in passing efficiency before reinjuring his shoulder against Georgia and remaining in the game, struggling to a 27-yard passing day.Jeremy Johnson, who opened last season as the starter, passed for 147 yards and rushed for two touchdowns against FCS Alabama A&M. Franklin has seldom been used as a passer but has averaged 10.5 yards on 38 carries.Alabama coach Nick Saban said he doesnt see a whole lot of difference among the three quarterbacks.Theyre all a little bit different, but all very effective in terms of their style and how they play, Saban said. Sean White probably was the most effective guy throwing the ball consistently to go with their running game but also pulled the ball on some quarterback runs and made plays and was very efficient and effective.The other two guys are very athletic and very capable of running at any time, scrambling at any time, making plays with their feet at any time.Jeremy Johnson started last years Iron Bowl while White was hobbled with a left knee injury. He passed for 170 yards and a touchdown.Malzahn said the first task in choosing a quarterback is to make sure White is healthy enough, then to figure out who gives Auburn the best chance of winning.Kerryon Johnson said the team has believes all three candidates can get the job done.Whoever it is -- Sean, Jeremy or John -- we all have faith in them, he said. We just have to let it play out and see what happens.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.Wholesale Nike Air Max From China .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals.

Prosecutors say she stole $12,000 diamond earrings from Kunitzs home in 2013 and sold them to jewelry stores. The earrings were a birthday present for Kunitzs wife, Maureen.The theft charges filed by police in Collier Township, where Kunitz lives with his wife and their children, grew out of the arson and insurance fraud investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives into the Sturgeon fire.Forsythe pleaded guilty in July to federal charges of malicious destruction of property by fire and wire fraud for burning the house, then filing fraudulent insurance claims for the contents, including some jewels she had allegedly stolen from another couple while also working as a nanny.The other couple told investigators that an 18-karat gold diamond necklace worth about $4,400 and a gold diamond stud earring worth more than $10,000 had been stolen from them. Appraisals of those jewels were then used by Forsythe to make the fraudulent insurance claims, federal authorities contend.ddddddddddddAs that investigation progressed, Forsythe eventually confessed to stealing the earrings from Maureen Kunitz. They were appraised at $11,900 when Kunitz bought them for his wifes birthday sometime before she noticed them missing in September 2013.Forsythe acknowledged stealing the diamond earrings from Maureen Kunitzs bedroom while the couple wasnt home, the Collier Township police complaint said. Forsythe then sold a loose diamond from one earring to a jewelry store for $2,542 and the other earring to a precious metals and jewelry store for $1,408.50.Forsythes federal public defender, Jay Finkelstein, in court documents blamed the thefts on Forsythes allegedly abusive home life as a child. Finkelstein has a blanket policy of not commenting to the media.U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon refused Finkelsteins request to allow Forsythes federal sentence to run concurrently to whatever sentence she receives next month saying the theft victims deserve their own justice, so to speak, and the court will not intervene here.However, the county judge could still order that sentence to run concurrent to the federal sentence. If that happens, Forsythe would get credit for serving both terms simultaneously, instead of serving them one after the other.Forsythes public defender in the Allegheny County theft case didnt immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.---This story has been corrected to say earrings were sold to jewelry stores rather than jury stores.
