Aktuelles » THIRTEEN points, so were going on to the next week.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- In the middle of discussing his offenses performance against Northern Arizona, Arizona State coach Todd Graham mentioned his teams 1-0 record for about the fourth time.Talking about the record seemed to trigger something in the coachs mind and he shifted gears to a new topic, emphasizing words to counter the criticism his team faced following its 44-13 win over the Lumberjacks.You know, it AMAZES me, Graham said during his weekly news conference Monday. Were 1-0. We won 44-13. We gave up THIRTEEN points, so were going on to the next week. Thats kind of how I feel about that. I just dont get it.The criticism stemmed from Arizona States uneven performance against the lower-tier Lumberjacks on Saturday.The Sun Devils scored quickly to open the game, but labored the rest of the half to lead 10-3. Arizona State found a rhythm in the fourth quarter to run away from Northern Arizona, looking more like a Power 5 program is supposed to against an FCS school.When it was over, much of the focus was on what the Sun Devils had not done right and not the overall outcome, which left Graham a bit irritated.Were 1-0. Thats what I told our players: Half the teams in the country would like to be 1-0 right now, he said.Arizona State had a disappointing 2015 season and plenty of questions heading into this one, including at quarterback, depth on defense and a rebuilt offensive line.Sophomore Manny Wilkins earned the starting quarterback nod after a prolonged competition with redshirt freshman Brady White.Wilkins was good at times against NAU, giving Arizona State a run option at the quarterback spot that it didnt have with Mike Bercovici last season. Wilkins hit 20 of 27 passes for 180 yards and made the highlight reels by hurdling a Northern Arizona defender on a 28-yard run in the second quarter.Wilkins made a few mistakes that come with being a first-time starter and threw an interception.We wanted to run the football and I think he made some good decisions when he did run the ball, Graham said. I think for his first game, he learned a lot and I think he did a solid job. His poise was what I was most impressed with.Arizona State had depth issues defensively due to injuries and suspensions heading into the Northern Arizona game, and could have continued problems, particularly at linebacker.Senior Salamo Fiso was suspended for violating team standards and could also miss Saturdays game against Texas Tech. Junior Christian Sam suffered a foot injury against NAU and may not be available against the Red Raiders. Junior Marcus Ball also will have to sit out the first half Saturday after being ejected for a targeting penalty against the Lumberjacks.The injuries and suspensions left Arizona State vulnerable against Northern Arizona, which passed for 369 yards and a touchdown last weekend.Texas Techs Air Raid offense could present an even bigger problem. The Red Raiders rolled over Stephen A. Austin 69-17 in their opener behind Patrick Mahomes II, who threw for 483 yards and four touchdowns in 3 1/2 quartersWe know weve got a really good challenge coming in here, Graham said. (Texas Tech has) as good a quarterback as there is out there. Hes got to be one of the best, if not the best, in the Big 12. He is a phenomenal player. Pat LaFontaine Islanders Jersey .

Mathew Barzal Jersey . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. Haas boss Guenther Steiner says the team is in no rush to rethink its partnership with Ferrari and ease towards a more independent approach to Formula One.Haas joined the grid this year with an extensive engine and technical partnership with Ferrari, which caused controversy at the tail-end of last year and led to the FIA closing a loophole in the regulations. Despite an inconsistent year the team has exceeded pre-season expectations, with 29 points alongside its name heading to the season finale in Abu Dhabi.The team, which also has a partnership with Italian chassis manufacturers Dallara, splits work between bases in Banbury, U.K and Kannapolis, North Carolina in its native U.S.A. Steiner believes the teams current business model is the reason for Haas having such a successful rookie season and sees no reason for it to end.When asked if the team would re-think the Ferrari relationship in 2017 and beyond, Steiner replied: No, we have a long-standing contract in place with Ferrari that we can continue the business model we are doing.dddddddddddd We are going forward like this for the next few years and then we see, we rethink. But at the moment we are very happy with Ferrari, what they did for us over the year to get to the point where we are now.Hopefully we finish eighth if [Renault] doesnt pull out something very special, and we hope we move up next year. But in the moment, for sure you always develop your team and you keep on getting better and more people in and that will happen - but in general it stays like we are now.Haas will finish eighth in the championship barring an unlikely 21-point swing in Renaults favour at Yas Marina. In Brazil the team finally confirmed its driver line-up for 2017, signing Kevin Magnussen to partner Romain Grosjean, the man responsible for all 29 of its points so far this year. ' ' '
