RALEIGH, N.C. -- Ask Jaylen Samuels what position he plays for North Carolina States offense, and he will struggle to give a definitive answer.Thats because the returning all-Atlantic Coast Conference performer has proven he can do just about anything for the Wolfpack. And like the defenses he faces, even he is unsure exactly what hell be asked to do each week.Last year I was doing so much stuff, he said in an interview with The Associated Press, like every position almost.Officially, North Carolina State lists Samuels at tight end and fullback, and last years first-team Associated Press all-ACC selection came at tight end. But the 5-foot-11, 223-pound rising junior from Charlotte lined up just about everywhere -- in the backfield for handoffs or passes to the flat, in the slot for routes or for end-around runs -- to create matchup problems on the way to scoring a combined 16 rushing and receiving touchdowns.He did that while at times splitting his position meetings or film study between the tight ends and the running backs. And he spent practices knowing his role could fluctuate based on injuries or gameflow.Now hes working on improving his blocking and conditioning to stay on the field even longer this fall.Every week I just try to go hard at everything I do, catching, running, Samuels said. Its making sure I work on my craft every day so I could be ready for Saturday, but Im not going to know what to expect. Im just going to have to go out there and try to make a play.He finished with 56 rushes for 368 yards and nine touchdowns to go with 65 catches for 597 yards and seven scores -- a rate that had him reaching the end zone every 7.6 times he touched the football.His father, Greg, pointed to his son playing multiple sports from an early age -- bouncing between football, basketball, baseball and track while often competing against older kids -- to explain Jaylens versatility.You cant describe what it is, but you can just say, `That kids got a gift, Greg Samuels said. And we just had to keep fine-tuning it. . What you see now is just a combination of multiple sports that a young man played at a high level, and hes just excelled at it.The challenge of finding the right workload for Samuels now falls to new offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz.Samuels had a huge game against eventual national runner-up Clemson (14 touches, 139 yards, two touchdowns), but he had just three other games with 10 touches. He had four touches -- he still scored twice -- in 41 plays during the Belk Bowl loss to Mississippi State.I dont know what the magic number is, but you know, youd like to say around 10, said Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren, now entering his fourth year. Get him the ball 10 times a game because he has a way of making plays, man.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org Tytus Howard Youth Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

MONTREAL -- Montreal defenseman Nathan Beaulieu felt like the entire team let down Carey Price.Price was pulled in the second period after conceding four goals on 18 shots against the San Jose Sharks in Montreals 4-2 loss Friday night. It was the first time Price was pulled when healthy since Oct. 13, 2014.None of the goals were his fault, Beaulieu said. Guys were just not picking up sticks around the net. Tap-ins from the crease are just unacceptable. They just cant happen.It wasnt Price getting pulled because Price wasnt good enough. Hes the best player in the world and hes our best player. It had nothing to do with him. It was us.As he walked to the dressing room, Price glared at the bench, presumably at coach Michel Therrien.We pulled him to send a message to the players, Therrien said. I didnt like how they were playing in front of him. It made no sense to keep Price in there. I also had to think about tomorrows game.This was the first game of a back-to-back for Montreal. The team travels to Washington to face the Capitals on Saturday. Still looking for 250th NHL win, Price will get the start in that game.David Schlemko, Patrick Marleau, Timo Meier and Melker Karlsson scored for San Jose, and Martin Jones made 26 saves. The Sharks have won four in a row, starting their four-game trip with shootout victories in Toronto and Ottawa on Tuesday and Wednesday night.Good start, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. Theyve been sitting around waiting for us this week. We talked a lot about how we better be prepared for their start. Our guys really got out of the gate.Brian Flynn and Jeff Petry scored in the third period for Montreal, and Al Montoya made five savees in relief of Price.dddddddddddd The Canadiens are 1-7-1 against San Jose in the last six years.The Canadiens got into penalty trouble early on and it cost them. The took three minor penalties in the first 8 minutes and San Jose scored on two of the power playsWith Paul Byron in the box for hooking, Schlemko opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, beating a screened Price top shelf with a wrister from the half wall. With the Sharks on another power play 2 minutes later, Marleau made it 2-0 from the slot after blown coverage by Alexei Emelin.Still in the first period, the 20-year-old Meier, making his NHL debut, added San Joses third at 13:18.The Sharks chased Price at 6:44 of the second after Karlsson made it 4-0 by batting a bouncing puck into the roof of the net. It was the first time Price was pulled from a game without an injury since Oct. 13, 2014.Flynn ended Jones shutout bid with 9:32 remaining, and Petry scored with 6:12 left.They had their backs against the wall, San Jose forward Joe Thornton said. Theyre a very prideful group. We knew they were going to push and thats what they did. Well leave here with two points.Game notes Montreals Andrew Shaw was out of the lineup with concussion-like symptoms. Shaw took an elbow to the head from Bostons Torey Krug on Monday night. Winger Sven Andrighetto started in his place. ... Michael McCarron made his season debut for the Canadiens.
