COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Two weeks ago, the Texas A&M Aggies were in position to nab a spot in the College Football Playoff after they were ranked fourth in the first installment of the rankings.Now two straight losses to unranked teams and an injury to quarterback Trevor Knight have the 23rd-ranked Aggies (7-3) looking for a way to end the downward spiral when they host UTSA on Saturday.No one in this building, from players, coaches, people around us, are happy about last two weeks, coach Kevin Sumlin said. No way you can be. Because those are two games we wanted to win and where we were headed and what was at stake were big games.This week, Texas A&M seems likely get a shot of confidence it desperately needs to move on from losses to Mississippi State and Mississippi when the team hosts the Roadrunners, who have only had a football program since 2011.The Aggies host LSU on Thanksgiving to wrap up the regular season. Sumlin and his staff are trying to get the team back on track by stressing what winning the rest of the games could do for their season.When all is said and done, depending on what happens these last two games, it will say a lot about where this team going to be, Sumlin said. Because of what happened in college football the last few weeks, with two games to go, winning those two games could put you in lot of different scenarios that are very positive for this program.The Aggies will look for Jake Hubenak to be more consistent after up and down play since taking over for Knight, who is out for the regular season with a shoulder injury. Hubenak came in for Knight in the first half against Mississippi State and made his second career start last week against Mississippi and threw an interception in both games.UTSA coach Frank Wilson doesnt love playing a non-conference game this late in the season, but he and his team are embracing the challenge of facing a Southeastern Conference opponent.In an ideal world, you like to be in conference because of the parity, he said. But the way the schedule is set it allows us to get up and really measure ourselves against one of the better teams in the country.Some things to know about the UTSA-Texas A&M game:COMING HOMESaturday will be a homecoming UTSAs top two receivers, Josh Stewart and Kerry Thomas, who both grew up in College Station. Stewart has 29 catches for 591 yards and four touchdowns and Thomas has 22 receptions for 303 yards and seven scores.Some guys are late bloomers, Sumlin said. Cant get them all. Those guys will be excited to play here, to be basically back home to play at Kyle Field.CHASING 1,000Texas A&M RB Trayveon Williams needs 124 yards rushing to become the first true freshman in school history to rush for 1,000 yards. Williams had 17 carries for 72 yards last week and has six touchdowns this season.GOING BOWLING?The Roadrunners (5-5) need to win one of their last two games to become bowl eligible for the first time in school history. UTSA won seven games in 2013 but the school was not eligible for a bowl because it was in its final year of reclassifying to the Football Bowl Subdivision.DANGEROUS KIRKTexas A&Ms Christian Kirk leads the nation with three punt returns for touchdowns this season. He is two shy of tying the NCAA record for punt returns in a season set by Chad Owens of Hawaii in 2004 and North Carolinas Ryan Switzer in 2013. Kirk, who is a sophomore, has five punt return touchdowns in his career.---More AP college football http://collegefootball.ap.org Harrison Butker Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Jan Stenerud Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.customchiefsjersey.com/custom-khalen-saunders-jersey-large-1576n.html . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Byron Pringle Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Dave Krieg Jersey . The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit.F1s planned qualifying revamp will lead to more mistakes from teams and drivers out of position on the grid for the start of races, reckons Williams technical chief Pat Symonds. In an unexpected move, the FIA announced F1s stakeholders had voted unanimously to introduce a more dramatic version of F1s three-part knockout qualifying system.The new format, which will see the slowest cars eliminated on a more regular basis through the one hour session than is currently the case, is aimed at increasing unpredictability and, pending final ratification, could be introduced as early as this season, which begins in Australia on March 18-20. Symonds, Williams experienced chief technical officer, reckons that while the changes may not actually improve the Saturday spectacle, Sundays race should benefit.Were certainly need to spend a lot more time thinking about it, he told reporters at the Barcelona test.I dont think its going to improve qualifying itself - in fact, I think qualifying might be not as exciting and not build up to that final crescendo.But what there is a good chance of doing is improving the race because its quite a difficult situation and has been done at very short notice, so were not going to have a lot of time to get our thoughts together and optimise anything and write loads of software to help us optimise it.So I think all of us are going to make mistakes, particularly early on. So that means there will be occasions when cars are out of position and so you will see some of the quicker cars a bit further back.We all know that has given us some great races in the past. Ted Kravitz takes you through everything that happened on the third day of Formula 1 pre-season testing.dddddddddddd McLarens Eric Boullier agreed that qualifying would not become even more intense for teams, but is confident they have the resources in place to ensure they are not caught out.Its extra pressure for everybody - for the drivers and the team itself, he said.Its true that we have to be very coordinated and we cant release the car or ask the drivers to do their lap time at the wrong time anymore, we have no flexibility. Lewis Hamilton hopes fans benefit from the qualy changes We have enough resources and already a big strategy group between Woking and the pitwall so thats going to be taken into consideration and we have to deal with it.World champion Lewis Hamilton said on several occasions last season that he would welcome a change in F1s race weekend format, but the Briton doesnt believe the changes announced this week represent a revolution.I dont really feel like its going to change much, to be honest, Hamilton said.But I hope its a surprise for us all and it does. Generally the format is the same, I guess it just puts more focus on getting your laps in and keeping people out all the time.Hopefully it will be good for spectators.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.
