the right shots.Whats impressive about Mickelson is that seven

Rutgers is making a switch at quarterback.Coach Chris Ash announced Monday that Gio Rescigno is replacing Chris Laviano as the starting quarterback this weekend at Minnesota.After the Scarlet Knights were shut out in their two previous games and in the first half against Illinois this past weekend, Rescigno took over the offense in the second half and completed 10 of 18 passes for 120 yards and one touchdown in a 24-7 loss to Illinois.Ash said the coaching staff discussed its options over the weekend and gave the job to Rescigno so the redshirt sophomore can have an entire week to prepare.Rutgers (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) has played four quarterbacks this season, with Laviano getting the most work, including the teams last 18 starts.We tried obviously a lot of different quarterbacks, Ash said. This is not to blame the quarterback position or to blame Chris. We have not produced on offense here in the last four weeks. When youve got four games, youve got 14 points, its not good enough. Its not one individual.Until Saturday, Recigno had the least amount of work at quarterback, with TCU transfer Zach Allen playing the second half against Michigan and freshman Tylin Oden seeing spot action.Recigno is a tough runner who managed to get Rutgers to the Illinois 25-yard line in the fourth quarter with the team down 17-7. However, he threw an interception on a tipped pass and it was returned for a game-clinching touchdown.Gio did a lot of good things in that game with limited reps throughout the course of the week, Ash said. Just feel like if he has the whole week to prepare and get ready to play, hell build on what he brought to the team in the second half of that game. Watched yesterdays practice, he had a lot of energy. Other players around him fed off of that energy. We threw and caught the ball and did some things yesterday in practice better than what weve done on previous Sundays.Ash said Laviano would continue to get snaps in practice, but the starting job belongs to Recigno for the immediate future.This isnt a deal (where) Im trying to make the quarterback position a revolving door, and thats what its been, as we try to continually search for the right fit, the right person, to give us the right production and the right type of leadership out on the field that we want, said the first-year coach, whose team is riding a four-game losing streak. And hopefully Gio is the guy that can do that.---Online:APs college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgBalenciaga Shoes Wholesale China .

That isnt necessarily good news for Mickelson, but it should be.Mickelson did everything right in the British Open, only to watch Henrik Stenson do just a little better.They combined to deliver the greatest closing rounds by a final pairing in major championship history -- 63 for Stenson, 65 for Mickelson, on a day when the average score was 72.8. They had a better-ball score of 59. They walked off the 18th green at Royal Troon with their arms around each others shoulders, and given the intensity of the battle, they might have been keeping each other from collapsing.Stenson, the champion golfer of the year, received the silver claret jug.Mickelson not only received a silver platter, he took over sole possession of second place on golfs all-time list of runner-up finishes in the majors.Hes No. 2 at being No. 2The runner-up finish at Royal Troon was the 11th for Mickelson, one more than Arnold Palmer and still eight to go to catch Nicklaus.No one talks much about that record because Nicklaus is identified more with his 18 majors. Woods reached 14 majors in 2008 and was ahead of the pace set by Nicklaus until a fourth knee surgery, three back surgeries and one fire hydrant got in the way.Eight years later, Woods remains at 14 and hasnt played in nearly a year.Mickelson, who won his fifth major in the British Open at Muirfield three years ago, now has recorded a runner-up finish each of the last four years. Not even Nicklaus put together a streak of four straight years with the silver.This is not meant to cheer up Mickelson.He is 46, in his 25th year as a pro. He has been around long enough that losing stings, and it doesnt always matter if its self-inflicted. Is it easier to stomach knowing he played bogey-free than if he couldnt hit a par 3 with a pitching wedge?It was the second time that Mickelson posted the lowest score in any major, only for someone else to go lower. That was David Toms at Atlanta Athletic Club, who holed a 10-foot par putt on the final hole to beat Mickelson by one. And it was Stenson at Royal Troon, making 10 birdies in a round of 63 that even Johnny Miller admired.Im not sure how Im going to feel about that, Mickelson said. I pllayed what I feel was well enough to win this championship by a number of strokes, and yet I got beat by three strokes.dddddddddddd You know, its not like I have decades left of opportunities to win majors, so each one means a lot to me.I put in my best performance today. Played close to flawless golf and was beat, he said. So it kind of goes both ways. Im happy with the way I played, but even more disappointed that it wasnt enough because you look back and say, `What do I need to do?By now he should know the answer, because it has happened a lot.Sure, Mickelson erred by trying to hit 3-iron around a tree at Winged Foot and making double bogey on the 18th hole in the 2006 U.S. Open. The soft bogeys he made on the 13th and 15th holes at Merion cost him a shot at the 2013 U.S. Open. One can find other mistakes, but with the exception of Royal Troon, even the winner doesnt hit all the right shots.Whats impressive about Mickelson is that seven of his 11 runner-up finishes in the majors were by two shots or fewer.Nicklaus was a runner-up 19 times, but its not simple math to suggest he could have won 37 majors. In six of those, he finished three shots or more behind. The only time Mickelson was never a serious factor in the closing holes was when Jordan Spieth won by four shots at the Masters last year.Toms and Payne Stewart made par putts on him at the last hole. Mickelson made double bogey from the bunker on the 17th at Shinnecock Hills. A bogey on the 16th hole cost him at Valhalla when Rory McIlroy won by one shot, and a bogey on the 17th hole at Bethpage Black left Mickelson one shot behind in the 2009 U.S. Open.Should he have won more majors? Anyone, Woods included, can say that.To be in this conversation, and to have more runner-up finishes in the majors except for Nicklaus, means something is going right at least most of the time. Mickelson has posted scores of 266, 267 and 269 in majors and lost them all. That might be really tough to take if not for the five majors he has won.Mickelson doesnt see his window closing all that quickly. He wouldnt want Nicklaus other record, but it sure would be nice to be in a position to try. That means he has a chance at winning, and everyone should want that. ' ' '
