TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Danny Etling has figured it out in his relatively short time in the Southeastern Conference.In order to beat Alabama, the LSU quarterback said, you cant be one-dimensional.Same goes for beating LSU. The top-ranked Crimson Tide brings the nations best run defense into Saturday nights showdown with the 15th-ranked Tigers, who arent much kinder to opposing runners.In a game featuring an impressive collection of running backs led by LSUs Leonard Fournette, the quarterbacks and wide receivers are going to have to produce, too.Brandon Harris and LSU couldnt do it consistently last season against `Bama, and Fournette found scant running room against a defense that was able to load up for the run. This famously physical game wont all be about muscle.Neither team has a receiver ranked among the Top 10 in the SEC, but NFL prospects abound like LSUs Travin Dural and Malachi Dupre and Alabamas Calvin Ridley, ArDarius Stewart and tight end O.J. Howard.The quarterbacks are both making their debuts in the SEC West rivalry.Etling has had more passing success since interim coach Ed Orgeron took over in late September and brought in offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger. The Purdue transfer has had three straight 200-yard games and helped LSU set a school record for an SEC game with 634 total yards against Missouri.Its no coincidence that Tide coach Nick Saban believes the Tigers play action and vertical passing game have been more effective lately.And theyve made a lot more explosive plays, Saban said.Alabama freshman Jalen Hurts has made his share, too, both running and passing. While hes shown remarkable poise for an 18-year-old, Hurts has had some downfield misfires.Saban said working on the timing for the passing game was a priority during the open date before this game. He figures LSUs secondary is as athletic as any Alabama has faced.Ridley said Hurts throws at least five deep balls to receivers after practice, whatever routes he wants to work on. Ridleys numbers are down from a huge freshman season, but he still has 39 catches for 477 yards and four touchdowns.I catch a lot of balls after every practice, Ridley said. I guess thats going to help us.The game certainly will feature an abundance of handoffs. Fournette and Derrius Guice are two of the SECs top runners. Alabama counters with a deep stable of tailbacks led by Damien Harris and Hurts, the teams No. 2 rusher.Neither team topped 200 passing yards in Alabamas victory last season , but the Tides Jake Coker was far more efficient than Harris. Derrick Henry ran for 210 yards on his way to the Heisman Trophy many had expected Fournette to run away with before his 31-yard performance.Etlings emergence since replacing Harris as starter and the Tigers offensive changes have generated more of a passing threat. The quarterbacks will also have to contend with several of the SECs best pass rushers in LSUs Arden Key and Alabamas Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams.We think we can get some receivers down the field, Orgeron said. But weve got to be able to protect him long enough to be able to ... get those plays down the field. Thats going to be the key to the game.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel contributed to this report---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgAir Max 200 Promo Homme . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games.SAN DIEGO -- While speculation swirls about what might lie ahead for the Chargers and their head coach, Mike McCoy said Monday that he was more focused on the near future.We got to worry about going on the road and playing Cleveland, he said. That is my No. 1 concern right now.Still, many questions linger after a tough 19-16 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday that said a lot about where the Chargers stand right now. The score almost took a backseat to the environment, in which thousands of Raiders fans filled Qualcomm Stadium and black and silver were more prevalent than Chargers colors.The Chargers (5-9) were even forced to use a silent count on offense because of the noise generated by the Oakland contingent.It stinks, said McCoy. Its not what you want. Its unfortunate. But I think the players and coaches responded the right way.Worries about the Chargers potentially relocating to Los Angeles, and consecutive losing seasons, have demoralized the fan base.Everyone is frustrated, McCoy said. These players and coaches work extremely hard and they deserve to win these games.But that seldom happens of late. The Chargers have lost 21 of 30 games and 12 of their past 13 against AFC West foes.McCoys Chargers have sunk to the depths of the last-place Chargers squads from the 2000 and 2001 seasons. They won a combined six games over two years and were the last Chargers teams to produce consecutive losing seasons.Mike Riley, the coach of those teams, was fired after the 2001 season.The ball doesnt always bounce your way from year to year, McCoy said. There are certain teams that have gotten every break in the business this year. I was on one of those in Carolina in 2003 when we went to thhe Super Bowl.ddddddddddddMcCoy was also on the Panthers staff two years earlier when Carolina went 1-15. Then, and now, he knows where the blame lands.Im the head coach, he said. I take full responsibility for all those mistakes. Thats my role and I understand that. (But) no one is out there trying to make a mistake.McCoy, a first-time head coach at any level, is 27-35 in his three-plus seasons. He broke fast in 2013 when leading the Chargers to a road AFC divisional playoff win over the Bengals. Since then, theres been little to celebrate.McCoy said he hasnt been offered a contract extension. Its routine that a coach receives an extension going into the final year of his deal but McCoy said there havent been discussions about one.McCoy is clear about wanting to return.I love my job, I love what I do, he said. This is the greatest job in the world. I love working for these players and coaches and being the leader of this group. We got a special group of people that are very talented.McCoy said he feels for Chargers fans anxious about the team leaving. But that, just like his job security, will be determined by team chairman Dean Spanos.Dean has said he will make his decision after the season is over, McCoy said about the team moving to L.A. Theres nothing that has been finalized. We are focused on the next two weeks, on what we need to do, and especially this week in what we have to do in Cleveland. We have to find a way to win the next one and that is what it is all about.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
