hell be ready to play again.Russell, the Lakers second-leadin

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury will be very comfortable if his backup quarterback has to take over for the starter for a while.Backup quarterback Nic Shimonek threw for four touchdowns and 271 yards to lead Texas Texas past Kansas 55-19 Thursday night in each teams Big 12 opener.He steps in and plays his tail off, the fourth-year coach said about Shimonek. He threw some incredible passes.Shimonek came in after starter Patrick Mahomes, who also threw for four TDs, got injured in the third quarter.Mahomes, who threw for 277 yards and had one interception, left the game after a 32-yard run that ended with him going down hard on his right shoulder. After being checked briefly on the sideline, he tried to throw one pass before going into the locker room for further evaluation.Mahomes could be OK, Kingsbury said. Asked how he knew that, Kingsbury said jokingly, cause I didnt see the trainer jump off the side of the stadium.We got to get him looked at more extensively, he said.The backups teammates think highly of Shimoneks work ethic.He never complains, said defensive back Justis Nelson. I never hear a bad word coming out of his mouth. He knows all the plays and we dont lose a beat whenever he comes in.Shimonek threw TDs for 4, 37, 31 and 59 yards, while Mahomes scoring strikes were for 14, 18, 17 and 6.Jonathan Giles led Texas Tech (3-1) with 12 catches for 219 yards.Theres a reason their offense is second in the country, Kansas coach David Beaty said. Those dudes can score fast.Giles continues to be Texas Techs go-to guy.They tried to double him at times, but he found a way to get open and once he gets it, he can do stuff with it, Kingsbury said.The defeat for Kansas (1-3) made it 40 straight losses in games away from Lawrence, Kansas.That score did not show how the game went, quarterback Ryan Willis said. I mean, hats off to them, they played their butts off, but we need to bounce back again. Some nights you win, some nights you lose.The Red Raiders have scored at least 50 points in nine straight home games.Beaty switched between QBs Montell Cozart and Ryan Willis.Im sure everybody has their idea of who should be playing quarterback for us, Beaty said. But were with them every day. I evaluate them every day. I see them every day. Our staff sees them every day. We make decisions based on what we see, not what we want.THE TAKEAWAYKANSAS: The Jayhawks took some time to get going against a defense that was giving up 531.3 yards per game coming into the contest. They punted on their first six possessions and didnt get a touchdown until late in the first half after QB Ryan Willis came in for starter Montell Cozart.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders offensive line struggled and penalties erased big plays. An ineligible receiver call against Texas Tech negated a 31-yard reception by Derrick Willlies late in the first half. There were also two false start penalties, including one that nixed a 36-yard catch by Reginald Davis that would have given the Red Raiders the ball at the Jayhawks 1. I dont think our O-line played very well, and its something weve got to address, Kingsbury said.UP NEXTKANSAS: The Jayhawks play host to No. 21 TCU on Oct. 8.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders travel to Kansas State on Oct. 8.---Follow Betsy Blaney on Twitter at www.twitter.com/betsyblaney---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Austin Hedges Padres 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.

He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. http://www.padressale.com/padres-tony-gwynn-jersey/ .

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Starting point guard DAngelo Russell?will miss at least two weeks?after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left knee, the Los Angeles Lakers?announced Wednesday.Dr. Steve Yoon performed the procedure in Los Angeles.?The Lakers said Russell will be re-evaluated in one week.Lakers coach Luke Walton said he didnt think Russell would need surgery.No, not unless somebody else tells me something different, Walton said before Wednesday nights 149-106 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. I like to keep it pretty positive. If they tell me that they think this is going to help and get him back out there, then Im going with [the idea] that in two weeks, hell be ready to play again.Russell, the Lakers second-leading scorer (16.1 points per game), missed Fridays game against San Antonio?and Tuesdays game against Oklahoma City. He had been scheduled to miss Wednesdays game against Golden State, as well.Walton said he wasnt sure how long Russell has been dealingg with this injury.ddddddddddddIt kind of caught me by surprise, Walton said. He was limping around in practice one day and we took him out because he wasnt running right, and they told me that his knee had been bothering him. I know he played through it; I dont remember the day or for how long, but he was playing through it for a while there and playing good. Obviously, it got worse. But the timeline? I have no idea.Russell, a former?Ohio State?standout, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft.Lakers starting forward Julius Randle also missed Wednesdays game, with a hip pointer. Randle originally suffered the injury during practice earlier this week.He tried to play through it [Tuesday] night, Walton said. Obviously, he didnt look like the same that hes been the last couple games before that. Its pretty painful every time he cuts or tries to make a basketball move. ' ' '
