BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech and Tennessee will play on Saturday night before the largest crowd ever to watch a college football game in person.Both teams are working to look a lot sharper than they did in their season openers.Tennessee (1-0), ranked No. 9, needed a missed extra point and a missed 42-yard field goal in regulation by Appalachian State to reach overtime before prevailing 20-13. Virginia Tech (1-0) had three first-half turnovers and trailed Liberty 13-10 in the second quarter before getting untracked offensively in a 36-13 victory.First-year Hokies coach Justin Fuente hopes his team learns a lot this week, but said it might be hard to recognize those gains on the field.You could improve a lot and maybe not be able to tell when you take a step up like were going to take a step, he said Monday. Thats just the facts of it. ... I have a tremendous amount of respect for Liberty and what theyve done and their program, but the team were going to play on Saturday is much more talented.The Vols hope they can live up to expectations after struggling on offense against the Mountaineers despite having nine of 11 starters back. They trailed 13-3 and only tied the game on a 67-yard scoring pass with 10:30 left in regulation. It was their only touchdown before the overtime.You look around the country and see all the upsets and kind of the way games went throughout the country, its good to know we got a win, said Vols linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who was ejected after a targeting call in the first quarter. We know we didnt play our best, we didnt play up to our standard, but like (defensive coordinator) coach (Bob) Shoop says, youve got to play both good and clutch. They work hand in hand. We came up clutch in the end and found a way to win the game.Now, Tennessee and Virginia Tech are focused on the long anticipated matchup that is being billed as the Battle at Bristol, a game first discussed in 1997 and that is expected o draw a crowd of 155,000 or more to Bristol Motor Speedway.The Hokies, who fumbled the ball away four times against the Flames, know turnovers are one area they definitely need to tighten up.We cant make some of the same mistakes we did this past weekend against Tennessee, running back Sam Rogers said. Theyre going to take advantage of it, so prepare the same way but know the stakes are a little higher.Two of the fumbles were by quarterback Jerod Evans, a transfer from Trinity Valley Community College. He also threw four touchdown passes, but Fuente values ball security and said a repeat performance would likely not lead to a positive result.Evaluating Jerods game, he knows that he missed a few things in there, Fuente said. Obviously, we have to take care of the football. That first day is not pleasing, but some good and some bad probably about, like, every position on the offensive side. We did a few good things, but by and large, just not consistent enough.For the eyebrow-raising Tennessees struggles caused, there were some positives the Vols could take away from their opener. They erased a 13-3 halftime deficit, signaling a reversal of last season when they finished 9-4 and led in each of their losses, three times by at least 13 points.Were still building our identity, but I thought there were a lot of things to really build upon from Thursday night when you watch the video, coach Butch Jones said. At the end of the game we found a way to win a football game. To me, that talks about perseverance, resiliency and finding a way to win football games.But I think we all know we have to continue to move forward and make great, great significant progress from Week One to Week Two.---AP sports writer Steve Megargee contributed from Knoxville, Tennessee---The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Cheap Nike Kevin Durant Basketball Shoes China . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft.

Cheap Basketball Shoes Free Shipping . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. In the foreword to a book celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the oldest championship in golf, Arnold Palmer refers to the event as The Open Championship. In his autobiography, Palmer refers to the major he won twice as the British Open.So which is it?That depends on the source. And it depends on the audience.The Open Championship began in 1860 when Willie Park Sr. defeated seven other golfers at Prestwick. It was 35 years until another big championship came along at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island known as the U.S. Open. That was followed by the South African Open, the Canadian Open and the Australian Open.When the British Open began is a little more unclear.According to an Associated Press account in 1900, J.H. Taylor won the open golf championship at St. Andrews. Two paragraphs later, however, the story noted that Taylor scored his third triumph in the English championships, even though it was held in Scotland.In 1910, the AP reported from St. Andrews that the open golf championship tournament ended in victory for James Braid. Just four years later, however, an AP story in The Los Angeles Times said that Harry Vardon won for the sixth time the British open golf championship.The R&A has never referred to it as anything but The Open Championship, and it recent years it has made a stronger case for the name of golfs oldest major to go by one name -- the proper name -- in any country.The USGA in its official U.S. Open entry form for years noted that players were exempt from qualifying if they had won the British Open in the last five years. This year, the language was changed to refer to a five-year exemption for winning The Open conducted by the R&A.William McGirt, headed over to Scotland for the first time, said he received a packet in the mail reminding players that its called The Open Championship.Im sure Ill call it the British Open and get pounded for it, McGirt said. But hey, its in Britain.The R&A has never referred to its premier championship as anything but The Open. It just happens to be held on links courses in Britain, with an exception in 1951 at Portrush in Northern Ireland, where it will return in three years.The name of the championship hasnt changed in 155 years, said Malcolm Booth, communications director for the R&A. The reason we think 155 years on there is legitimacy in calling it `The Open Championship is it really was the birthplace of open competition.It was the first. It was the original. It was the template. It is The Open.But not to Jack Nicklaus.Nicklaus was asked in late February about how he decided which sons would caddie for him in the majors. He recalled one year when Jackiee, his oldest son, caddied in the Masters and I think he had the Open.dddddddddddd And then he mentioned his second-oldest son, Steve, had the British Open and the PGA.The British Open?Thats what it is, Nicklaus said.Has he ever referred to the major he won three times The Open?Sure, when Im over there, he said. Over here, people dont know what The Open Championship is. Its `The Open Championship of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. If its The Open Championship, it could be the U.S. Open, the Australian Open, the Japanese Open.Thats where the R&A might beg to differ.When championship golf began in 1860, the golfing world was defined by Scotland. The Open was not held anywhere else until it went to Royal St. Georges in England in 1894, one year before the U.S. Open began.We dont consider ourselves a national championship, Booth said. The Open remit is to identify the champion golfer of the year.Three years ago, that champion golfer was Phil Mickelson, who grew up in San Diego referring to it as the British.Now that Ive won it, and the R&A strongly prefers it to be called just `The Open or `The Open Championship, I try hard to call it that, Mickelson said. But its not comfortable to me because its not what I referred to it as growing up in the United States.Hes not alone. And its not just Americans.Russell Knox of Scotland says he goes by British Open, though he has been in Florida the last 15 years. Branden Grace of South Africa grew up calling it the British Open. So did Jason Day of Australia.Adam Scott, however, was adamant that it is The Open and nothing else. That national championship in his home country? The Australian Open.I understand that when you say the `British Open you mean `The Open Championship, Scott said. When you call it the `Open and you mean the U.S. Open, then Im confused. Because thats called the United States Open.Jim Furyk simply goes by the calendar.A runner-up at Oakmont last month, he said people came up to him at the Bridgestone Invitational and congratulated him for his performance at the Open and it stopped him. His mind already was on the next Open, the one at Royal Troon that starts next week.If I were ever lucky enough to win the claret jug, I would definitely call it `The Open to show respect, he said. But when Im not thinking about it, then it comes out as `British Open because thats the way I grew up hearing it.And, he added with a smile, I might have fun with some folks when I know it will rub them the wrong way, just to watch them cringe.
