  ATHENS, Ga. Stephen Vogt Jersey . -- Less than a year after a gruesome knee injury, Nick Chubb is ready to run again for the Georgia Bulldogs.His teammates expected nothing less.It was pretty frightening when it happened, center Brandon Kublanow said. But I know Nick. Hes an incredibly hard worker. So there was no doubt in my mind that hed be ready to go.Chubb was one of the nations top running backs and being touted as a Heisman Trophy contender when his sophomore season suddenly ended during an Oct. 10 game at Tennessee.This wasnt just any injury, either.While being tackled along the sideline, Chubbs left knee buckled grotesquely in the wrong direction. When video of the injury was posted on Internet, it usually came with a warning label.Chubb tore several ligaments, leaving some to speculate that it could be career-ending injury. If nothing else, there seemed little chance hed be back on the field some 11 months later.But Chubb has defied the odds every step of the way. And, from all indications, hell be in a leading role Saturday when the No. 18 Bulldogs open the season against No. 22 North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.Hes even more physical than he was before, defensive tackle DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle said. Nick Chubb has always been a hard runner, but now hes an even harder runner.New coach Kirby Smart said Chubb will play against the Tar Heels, with no limitations on the number of carries he might get or how many hits he can take.He feels great, Smart said. Hes ready to go.Chubbs recovery is especially timely for the Bulldogs, who have taken some additional hits at running back.Sony Michel, who took over as the starter when Chubb went down, sustained a broken left forearm in an ATV crash in early July and still had not been cleared for full-contact drills coming into this week. Freshman Elijah Holyfield, the son of former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in a scrimmage.The depth chart released Monday lists both Chubb and senior Brendan Douglas as the first-teamers. Douglas rushed for only 140 yards last season, averaging 3.9 yards per carry.When Chubb scrimmaged for the first time since his injury a couple of weeks ago, there was some natural trepidation about being hit. But, with every practice, he gains more and more confidence that his knee is fully healed.I feel good, he said in a recent interview. Were doing a lot of things to help my knee out, and getting tackled a couple of times helps.Chubb also has been getting used to wearing a knee brace, which still feels a bit awkward but gives him an added sense of stability.I feel good when I have it on, he said.Despite starting only eight games as a freshman in the same backfield with Todd Gurley, Chubb finished his debut season with 1,547 yards -- ranking second in the Southeastern Conference. He stretched his streak of 100-yard games to 13 in a row, equaling Herschel Walkers school record, before the injury at Tennessee ended that run.During his rehab, Chubb was helped along by the Korean martial art taekwondo.A lot of kicking motions and hopping on my legs and stuff like that, he said.Chubb also learned just how much the game meant to him when forced to watch from the sideline. Though never a very vocal leader, hes tried to pass that message on to his teammates.If its taken away, youre going to miss it, Chubb said. So when youre out there, give it all youve got.Given the severity of his injury -- even now, its difficult to watch the replay without feeling a bit queasy -- Chubb conceded that hes a bit surprised to be this far along,Then again, he added, I dont know because I havent been in this situation before. Ive seen people come back from it, but not as fast. I dont know how to feel about it.The Bulldogs are just glad to have him back.---AP Sports Writer Charles Odum contributed to this report.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Zach Davies Jersey . Irving scored 23 points, Tristan Thompson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and the Cavaliers beat the Denver Nuggets 117-109 on Friday night. http://www.brewersteamshop.com/Brewers-Yovani-Gallardo-Kids-Jersey/ ;. -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Hampshire 411 and 176 for 7 (Pringle 5-64) lead Durham 361 (Richardson 99*, Clark 58, Stokes 50, Wheal 4-39, Dawson 4-100) by 226 runsScorecard There is no better way to prove that you are worthy of Division One status than by bowling out your last opposition in the final five hours of the summer. For Hampshire, that is the task.With 96 overs remaining in their season, Hampshire lead Durham by 226, a target they do not deem enough - to the extent that, remarkably, they sent in a nightwatchman instead of the No. 9, Gareth Berg, for the last 18 balls of the day. They will bat, according to their director of cricket Giles White, for an hour on the fourth morning. From there, 10 Durham wickets stand between promotion and relegation; with Lancashire looking unlikely to do them any favours at Edgbaston, it really does appear that simple.Hampshires penultimate day of the campaign started badly, and did not improve markedly. Unforecast, unwelcome rain came up the M27 from Bournemouth at about 10am, great swathes of the stuff, preventing a prompt start and refusing to fully shift before noon.The punters felt they were watching Hampshires Division One status wash away with the rain, a tough end to a tough season; a season, it should not be forgotten, including death, life-threatening illness, and the comparatively trifling issue of a coach departing midway through. They busied themselves making small talk about Jonathan Trott, the man both on their back-pages and batting at Edgbaston, the other game of interest. Fingernails were chewed, few sat still.Upon resumption, with 16 overs lost, little changed. Hampshire began the day in front by 169. By stumps, that advantage had grown, although not by as much as they would have hoped, to 226. The brilliant Michael Richardson, as he had on the second evening, held them up in the company of the tail, getting Durham to within 50, before being left stranded on 99 by Chris Rushworths brainless swipe. As Hampshire celebrated in relief, he battered his pad with his bat, then stood motionless at the non-strikers end.The 47-over period in the evening session was the game in microcosm. Hampshire flew out the blocks, zipping to 50 in as many balls, before losing 6 for 58 to be pegged back. Liam Dawson and Lewis McManus, so similar in style, shared 57 before the former fell trying to push the score on; susprisingly, with five overs remaining, Hampshire were cowed, and sent out a nightwatchman, Masonn Crane, rather than Berg. Brent Suter Jersey. The decision to eat into the 96 overs had been made; the doomsaying local view had not changed.It didnt go to plan this morning, White said. They batted well, particularly Richardson, and we werent at our best.Durhams wicketkeeper, who shared 79 for the eighth wicket with Brydon Carse and a zippy 86 for the ninth with Graham Onions, played a magnificent hand, eating up deliveries and eking out runs as Hampshires spin assault continued.The hosts had been wasteful with the new ball (they have also wasted 10 runs by allowing the ball to twice hit the helmet), erring plenty onto leg stump and overpitching often. Carse and Onions - batting with glee - were the aggressors, but Richardson punished the bad ball, skipping down the track to Dawson and lofting over long-on, as well as cutting Crane. He deserved better than to watch Rushworth pinned in front sweeping when he had entrusted him with just a single Dawson delivery.As Hampshire set up a target, Rushworths first over went for 11, all pulled, as Will Smith and Jimmy Adams started with intent. But Adams, top-edging to 45, and Tom Alsop, caught at slip but very unhappy about it, fell in consecutive overs as the spinners, Ryan Pringle and Scott Borthwick, came on early. In the blink of an eye Pringle had four more, James Vince bowled through the gate and Smith caught at bat-pad, then then lefties, Sean Ervine and Ryan McLaren, gone in a single over.There remains plenty to encourage Hampshire. That all seven wickets, including Dawson to Borthwick late on, fell to spin is cause for optimism. The pitch, as Paul Collingwood predicted, has not deteriorated greatly (perhaps a couple stayed low), but continues to turn sharply and in Crane and Dawson, with Smith supporting, they have the stronger spin attack; certainly they turn the ball plenty, even if Dawson is nursing a finger injury. The plan is to dangle an enticing target before Durhams eye, induce errors, and watch wickets fall in clusters, as they have in their own second innings so far.Thats the plan, but now the talking stops. Do they have the minerals to escape again? Well be better with the ball second time round, White said. They have no choice: with all eyes on the top of the table, county crickets Great Escapologists face their latest day of reckoning. Jerseys NFL CheapCheap NFL Womens Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free ShippingWholesale NFL T-shirts NFL Jerseys Wholesale China NFL Gear Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Womens NFL Jerseys White NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
