COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolinas quarterback situation remains unsettled after two games.Senior Perry Orth started the Gamecocks first two contests at Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. However, after trailing the Bulldogs 24-0 at the half, freshman Brandon McIlwain who took over in the second half and rallied the Gamecocks to two touchdowns in a 27-14 loss.Look for McIlwain to get even more playing time when South Carolina opens its home season against fired-up East Carolina, fresh off a victory over North Carolina State last week.Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said his offensive staff has a pretty good idea wholl start against the Pirates, but like before the Vanderbilt game, will keep things under wraps until game time.Both are repping at the position, Muschamp said Tuesday.Theres no divide on the team about the quarterbacks, tailback A.J. Turner said, although each brings a different skillset to the position.The second half we played with a faster tempo and I feel like we do better when we play faster, Turner said. I think thats what Brandon McIlwain brings to the table.McIlwain was a highly regarded high-school passer who had offers to play from Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and UCLA among others. He was also a prized baseball prospect, who was tracking to be a high-round pick in the Major League Baseball draft last June before deciding to sign with the Gamecocks.Muschamp and quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper spent all spring and summer trying to whittle down a wide-open quarterback race. Orth had the experience after starting eight games last year while McIlwain and fellow freshman Jake Bentley are clearly South Carolinas future at the position.Orths experience won out early and he rallied South Carolina from 10-0 down at Vanderbilt in Week 1 for a 13-10 victory. Orth was less effective at Mississippi State, going 9 of 17 for 83 yards and an interception in the first two quarters as the Gamecocks fell behind 24-0.Orth got little help, however, from South Carolinas offensive line or its running backs. Orth was sacked twice and the Gamecocks finished 34 yards on the ground.Muschamp said the more playing time McIlwain receives, the quicker hell adjust to the college game.The game will continue to slow down for these guys and theyll improve, Muschamp said.Turner, also a freshman, sounded like he had a preference at quarterback. Turner said McIlwain brings a greater sense of urgency on offense, something he believes can only help improve the unit. Hes not turning against Orth, who he believes is a talented leader instrumental to the Gamecocks lone victory so far.East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery is prepping for Orths throwing and McIlwains ability to cause chaos to defenses with his dual-threat nature.All in all, it presents a tough challenge, Montgomery said.Even for South Carolina. Muschamp has several times if he had a player separate himself from the others at quarterback, that would be his starter. So far, that hasnt happened.Part of the problem is the opening half where the Gamecocks have zero points through two games.South Carolina offensive lineman Mason Zandi does not understand the slow starts -- or why the offense heats up after that.I cant pinpoint what worked for us in the second half, Zandi said. We just went to locker room, made some adjustments and moved on.Muschamp said the slow starts are on the coaches, who havent put players in position to excel early on. Felt like it was our execution, he said.The first-year coach hopes the right quarterback will get things going a bit faster on Saturday.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Nick Martin Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Brian Cushing Jersey .

The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.

Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. DOnta Foreman Jersey . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. Michael Conlan, the Irish fighter whose loss in the quarterfinals of the bantamweight tournament at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics was one of the most controversial of the boxing tournament, is going pro.Conlan signed a multiyear deal with Top Rank at the company offices in Las Vegas on Monday and will fight primarily in the United States.He plans to begin his career in the 122-pound junior featherweight division and is likely to make his professional debut in March on St. Patricks Day weekend at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN.com.I think this is an incredible signing for Top Rank and incredible for boxing in America, because he will fight the majority of his fights here in the U.S., building a big fan base in the Irish community, duBoef said. We think he is the next big star in boxing in America. Theres a huge Irish population here in the United States.Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but Conlan and Top Rank said he would fight at least six times in 2017, with one of the bouts taking place in Ireland.Im really looking forward to all of this, Conlan told ESPN.com. I couldnt be with a better team than Top Rank. Theyll take me to a world title. Im looking forward to the journey.Said manager Matthew Macklin, a former longtime middleweight contender: Everyone wanted to sign him, but once we touched base with Top Rank, we locked into that. We believe they will be the best to develop Michaels career and build him into a pay-per-view star. His bags are packed to be based in America. We believe he is with the right people and will become a huge pay-per-view star here and on the other side of the Atlantic.Conlan, who turns 25 in November, said he loves the idea of turning pro on St. Patricks Day weekend in New York, where Irish boxing fans have a reputation for giving their fighters tremendous support.I think its every Irish fighters dream to fight on that weekend in New York, Conlan said. Its going to be big. Ill take the opportunity with both hands.Top Rank chairman Bob Arum has signed several Olympians through the years and developed them into world champions and pay-per-view stars, including Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto. He said Conlan will follow in their footsteps.This kid, I feel, is something special, Arum said. Theres something about this kid. He has a lovely personality and, obviously, based on what my matchmakers say, he has ability, which is what counts. As far as his personality, he lights up the room. The fans are going to love this kid. Im going to hit all the Irish cities -- New York, Boston and over in Ireland also.Conlans elimination from the Rio Olympics in a decision loss to Russias Vladimir Nikitin in the bantamweight quarterfinals was one of the most controversial of the boxing tournament and partly responsible for the International Boxing Association (AIBA), which oversees amateur boxing, sending several judges and referees home from the tournament for failure to perform up to the expected standard.After the defeat, an emotional Conlan raised both of his middle fingers at the judges while still in the ring and then ripped them and AIBA. He had so dominated the fight that Nikitin wass too busted up to fight in the semifinals and withdrew from the competition, giving American Shakur Stevenson a walkover into the gold-medal match.ddddddddddddAfter the decision, Conlan said: AIBA cheats, AIBA f---ing cheats. Thats me; Ill never box for AIBA again. Theyre cheating b------. Theyre paying everybody. I dont give a f--- for cursing on TV. Thats the end of my Olympic gold. My dream has been shattered now.I have a big career ahead of me. These ones are known for being cheats. They have always been cheats. Amateur boxing stinks, from the core right to the top. I thought I boxed the ears off him in the first round, but they scored it against me. So I had to fight his fight, which I did. I outfought him. Its a shambles, to be honest.Conlan said the judging controversy in Rio will drive him as a professional but that he will get over it.I think what happened will be the driving force for me to become the greatest Irish fighter ever, because it will give me a kick, like it did for Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather, Conlan said, referring to Jones and Mayweathers controversial losses in Olympic bouts. I can get over things really fast, and I can push on. I wont forget it, but now I will focus on becoming a world champion and a star with Top Rank.Conlan, who won a flyweight bronze medal at the 2012 London Games and gold medals at the 2015 World Amateur Championships and European Championships, is the most decorated Irish amateur in history. Now he aims to be Irelands greatest professional fighter.I think I have a great following already, and my goal is to be Irelands greatest ever fighter, Conlan said. I believe I can be that. I think Im the guy to do that. I will give the Irish fans something to shout about. I think I can be a three-weight world champion.Conlan, whose 29-year-old brother, Jamie Conlan (17-0, 11 KOs), is a professional featherweight, said his aim is to win a title at junior featherweight and then move up to win world titles at featherweight and junior lightweight.Only two Irishmen have won world titles in two weight classes: Irelands Steve Collins and Northern Irelands Carl Frampton, who did it on July 30 by outpointing Leo Santa Cruz to win a featherweight belt in Brooklyn, New York.Conlan is the second 2016 Olympian to go with Top Rank, which last month signed lightweight gold medalist Robson Conceicao, 27, a three-time Olympian who thrilled the home fans in Rio by becoming the first Brazilian boxer in history to win an Olympic gold medal.Top Rank also signed several Olympians after the 2012 Games, including two-time Ukrainian gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko, who has gone on to win featherweight and junior lightweight world titles, and Mexicos Oscar Valdez, who won a featherweight world title in July.Arum said he is always interested in signing the cream of the crop from the amateurs.Were not crazy, so were not running after a million guys, Arum said. We want only quality. Conlan is quality. In the old days, we had to run after people, and now they run to us because of our reputation. They know we know how to build a fighter into a superstar.
