matches, a sequence that stretches back to 2006. Will that record play

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Dre Massey is Floridas most versatile player, capable of lining up at receiver, running back, quarterback, returner and punter. Yes, punter.The 25th-ranked Gators probably wont ask Massey to kick, but they do expect the junior college transfer to be a huge help on offense this season.Hes one of those guys that you can use in a lot of different situations, coach Jim McElwain said.Massey did it all at Holmes (Mississippi) Community College last year. He caught 21 passes for 548 yards and six touchdowns, and carried 59 times for 452 yards and three scores. He also punted three times (averaged 22.3 yards) and threw three passes (all incomplete).Florida isnt trying to pass Massey off as a modern-day Paul Hornung, but considering the Gators lack of offensive playmakers since Percy Harvin left school in 2009, its easy to understand their excitement.At the very least, Massey should give the Gators another viable receiving option alongside Antonio Callaway, Brandon Powell and C.J. Worton. But Massey also could end up in the starting lineup because Callaway hasnt been cleared to play following a university-imposed suspension and Worton is dealing with a high-ankle sprain.And if Masseys performance matches his confidence, hell be tough to take off the field.It will give (defenses) a headache trying to figure out what they can do to stop me, Massey said. Then well switch it up and do something different. Its what we do.Florida has been searching for more offense for years, ever since quarterback Tim Tebows tenure ended after the 2009 season with two national championships and about 20 school records.The Gators ranked 100th in the nation in scoring in 2015, averaging 23.2 points a game, and were 112th in total offense. They managed to win the Southeastern Conferences watered-down Eastern Division thanks mostly to a dynamic defense.McElwain vowed the offense will be dramatically better this year. His scheme is predicated on shifts and movements that are designed to create mismatches. Massey seems to be a perfect fit. The Greenville, South Carolina, native -- former Gamecocks coach and current Florida ambassador Steve Spurrier recruited him out of high school -- plays mostly in the slot, but can slide outside or line up in the backfield. And if the Gators want to get trickier, Massey can take snaps.McElwain even guaranteed that Massey would throw at least one pass this season.Theres the art of deception in having those guys being able to do so many different things, McElwain said. I think anytime you can do that, it really helps.McElwain wanted to use Powell in a similar role last season, but he was slowed by a foot injury. With Powell healthy and Massey in the mix, the Gators are planning to play them side by side.Thats some crazy matchup problems, Massey said. Theres really nothing you can do.The Gators hope thats the case. If so, there would be even less need for Massey to punt.Ive been pretty much versatile everywhere Ive played, said Massey, who once accounted for 11 touchdowns in a high school game. Ive always been able to do more than one thing and play more than one position. I take pride in that.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgHydro Flask Cyber Monday . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Cheap Hydro Flask .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday.South Africa captain Adriaan Strauss insists his team will not be distracted by Eddie Jones jibe that they only know one way of playing.The Springboks take on England at Twickenham on Saturday and ahead of the clash Jones said his opponents never change, describing their physical approach as like chess on steroids.South Africa have certainly picked a gargantuan line-up. Forward trio Pieter-Steph du Toit, Willem Alberts and Lood de Jager alone will be carrying 55 stone between them. Strauss, however, refused to rise to Jones comments.Thats a very interesting statement, said Strauss, who will retire from Test rugby at the end of the year. We are moving towards a style we do want to play. We know were not there yet.This is another opportunity to take a step closer. We do want to play a physical game - its in South Africas DNA and its our brand of rugby. We also want to adapt and grow as a team. Weve been doing that this year.We havent executed it that well but we are growing as a team. I dont know, I havent read and heard everything he (Jones) said but we know what we want to do so thats where the focus is. We wont get swept up by comments from our opposition.This will be South Africas first Test since their 57-15 drubbing at the hands of New Zealand, the teeams heaviest-ever defeat on home soil.dddddddddddd The result provided a suitably miserable end to a disappointing Rugby Championship that included a surprise loss to Argentina and only two wins from six overall.?The Springboks have reason to be more confident in south London, however, having not lost to England in 12 matches, a sequence that stretches back to 2006. Will that record play a part on Saturday?Not at all, Strauss said. Over the last couple of years we have gained a bit of confidence overseas playing in the northern hemisphere but its a new chapter, its not going to help us on the day.The visitors physical tactics may, however, be aided by the conditions, with heavy rain expected this weekend.It might rain, we expect that. We also prepared for that, Strauss said. Weve got a plan for when it does rain. We dont want to vary too much but you have to be wary if you play with a slippery ball on the day.Both teams are well equipped to play with a wet ball. The English have a great kicking game, they maul quite well and they have a physical pack. They are a good defensive squad so both teams can play well in wet weather. ' ' '
