Essex 291 for 4 (Browne 116, Westley 72) vs DerbyshireScorecard Something about playing against Derbyshire brings out the best in Nick Browne and the Essex opener punished his favourite opponents again on the opening day of their Specsavers County Championship match.The 25-year-olds only previous century in the Championship this season came when he hit 255 against Derbyshire at Chelmsford and he added a second to give Essex control at 291 for 4 on a docile 3aaa County Ground pitch.Although he began to be more aggressive against the young Derbyshire spinners in the final session, it was a largely risk-free, patient innings from Browne and he earned the right to carry on at the start of day two on 116 not out.He passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season on 57 and his hundred came off 266 balls with six fours and a six. It was his fourth century in six innings against Derbyshire, at an average of 227.The home side blew one golden chance to dismiss Browne when he was on 60 but, off the fifth ball after tea from Milnes, Neil Broom spilled a regulation catch at second slip. I do seem to do quite well against Derbyshire - I dont know what the reason for that might be, Browne said. Maybe you just feel a little bit more confident against certain bowlers or maybe its the time of the year where Ive missed out a couple of times and they just happen to be there when Im hungry for runs.I definitely know thats what happened in the first game against them this season. I had a lean patch going into that game and I needed to score a big score and managed to score one. Perhaps its the same now. Its just one of those things.Chances of any sort were rare for Derbyshire but they did a good job of containing and trying to frustrate Essex on a surface that gave them very little help. If they had taken that chance straight after tea, they would have been able to consider it a decent day.They took a wicket in the 10th over when Jaik Mickleburgh clipped Tom Milnes off his legs straight to Alex Hughes at midwicket to make it 14 for 1 but second-wicket pair Browne and Tom Westley let them know they were set for a long day in the field with a stand of 128.There were very few loose balls to allow the pair to score easily and it took both a long time to bring up their half-centuries. Westleys came first, off 113 balls with three fours, and Browne finally completed his in the 51st over, off 141 balls with four fours.Westley finally went, caught by wicketkeeper Alex Mellor off the second ball of leg-spinner Matt Critchleys spell, for 72 at 142 for 2.Ravi Bopara showed his intent by lashing his second ball straight down the ground for the games first six and he moved smoothly to 44 before driving loosely at slow left-armer Callum Parkinson, on his home debut, and was well taken by Mellor at 217 for 3.The third over with the second new ball brought a second wicket for Milnes, who finished with a very respectable 2 for 48 in 19 overs, as Kishen Velani stepped across his stumps and was lbw trying to glance the ball to fine leg but Browne was unmoved.He completed a seemingly inevitable century by turning Milnes to midwicket for three and was still there at the close with Ryan ten Doeschate.Wholesale Shoes For Sale .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament.

Saban looks and acts 10 years younger. So do a lot of people his age these days. To view Sabans achievements through a historical lens, take a look at where these great coaches were at age 65:? Bear Bryant had one of his best teams (1978), winning his fifth national title, but he was ailing and would be dead four years later. ? Woody Hayes threw the punch that got him fired. ? Bo Schembechler had been retired five years. ? Tom Osborne, too. He was a first-term congressman in 2002. ? Frank Leahy, who retired at age 45 in 1953 because of ill health, died at 64. ? Pop Warner won six games at Temple in 1936. He won a total of six the next two seasons and retired. ? Joe Paterno went 7-5 in 1992 and was two years shy of his last undefeated team, the 12-0 Nittany Lions who finished second to Nebraska. ? LaVell Edwards went 7-4 in 1995, one year before his BYU team went 14-1 and finished fifth in the nation. ? Bobby Bowden, one year after his first national championship, went 10-1-1 at Florida State and would win another the year he turned 70, in 1999. ? Lou Holtz went 5-7 at South Carolina in 2002 and retired after two more seasons.With the exception of Holtz, the modern-era coaches who rank among the winningest ever all had great years after they turned 65, something you couldnt say about previous generations. Between that and Sabans energetic appearance, it seems safe to say he isnt retiring anytime soon.1. Name a hot young coach in the American whose team is leading its division. You know the guy. He made his team nationally relevant last season. No, not Tom Herman, whose Houston Cougars have lost two of their last four and struggled to beat UCF on Saturday. Matt Rhule has refashioned a rebuilding year at Temple into a winning year. The Owls, after an 0-2 start, are 6-3 and leading the American East -- they are tied with USF but beat the Bulls this season. So explain to me why theres a Tom Herman Sweepstakes and not a Matt Rhule Sweepstakes?2. No. 4 Washington gave up 163 yards on the ground to Utah on Saturday, which is fewer than Oregon State (177) or Oregon (230) or Arizona (308!) gained against the Huskies. The reason might be in part philosophical. Huskies head coach Chris Petersen seems content with not putting his safeties in the box, letting his front seven do the work against the run. But Washington is 55th in rushing defense (153.9-yard average). Six of the last 10 national champions have finished in the top 10 against the run, none lower than 34th (Ohio State in 2014). Three finished first: Alabama in 2015, 2011 and 2012. This year, the Tide are ... first (70.1-yard average).3. In a Heisman race in which the preseason favorites (Leonard Fournette of LSU and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford) are only now returning to form from injury, and in which Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has been the front-runner for nearly the entire season, Michhigan hybrid Jabrill Peppers is uniquely positioned to attract attention.dddddddddddd His numbers dont support his candidacy and they never will. The traditionalist in me remains more attracted by players such as Washington quarterback Jake Browning, San Diego State back Donnel Pumphrey and stat machine Patrick Mahomes II, the Texas Tech quarterback, than by Peppers.4. Deshaun Watson has kept Clemson winning, but I still feel the Tigers quarterback embodies the teams season; i.e., the Tigers arent playing their best; theyre playing well enough to win. One interesting number from ESPN Stats & Info.: Since 2011, Clemson is 18-2 (.900) in one-score games. Two of the other top three teams in that time frame, Oklahoma State (14-6, .700) and Kansas State (20-9, .690) also have successful veteran coaches. Heres the weird part: the second-best team in one-score games is Arkansas State (12-4, .750), which has had four coaches in six years: Hugh Freeze, Gus Malzahn, Bryan Harsin, and Blake Anderson. All good coaches, but no continuity. Yet the Red Wolves kept winning.5. USC changed the course of its season when Sam Darnold replaced Max Browne at quarterback. Darnold is among the national leaders in QBR. Browne isnt playing. The Alabama offense accelerated when Jalen Hurts took over for Blake Barnett, who left school and will land elsewhere. Wisconsin began moving the ball when Alex Hornibrook took over from Bart Houston. But the Badgers narrative isnt the same. Head coach Paul Chryst went back to Houston on Saturday when the Badgers struggled against Nebraska, and Houston led the team to victory in overtime. That says a lot about Houston -- and Chryst.6. I dont know if this could happen only at Ole Miss, but its of a piece with the Rebels long, frustrating history in the SEC. Senior Chad Kelly threw for 465 yards in the loss to Auburn on Saturday night, breaking the school record of 436 yards set by Archie Manning in the epic 33-32 loss to Alabama in 1969. Kelly also holds third place, his 421-yard performance in the loss to the Crimson Tide earlier this season. Thats right: the top three passing games in school history all came in losses. Bo Wallace threw for 413 yards in a victory over Arkansas in 2013. Someone should recognize that.7. The day before Saban turned 65, Ohio State announced the death of 1973 Outland Trophy winner John Hicks at the same age. He was such a dominant offensive tackle that he finished second in the Heisman voting that year. I interviewed Hicks only once, a warm phone conversation 13 years ago. I asked him about the Ohio State tradition of awarding its players gold pants, a jewelry charm, for beating Michigan. Hicks won two pair in his career. They are a badge of honor, Hicks said. Wives wear them. Youll see Buckeye wives from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. The first thing they do is pull out their Michigan pants. Youll hear someone say, You only got one? That wife will give her husband a dirty look. ' ' '
