COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri has had two weeks to prepare for Florida. The Gators have had two weeks off, too, but only because their game against LSU was put off last weekend due to Hurricane Matthew.For Jim McElwain and the 18th-ranked Gators, homecoming weekend carries a bit of extra weight after last weeks confusion and decision to postpone the Oct. 8 game against LSU until Nov. 19 in Baton Rouge.Obviously, this was a very unique situation that occurred, McElwain said. This should be fun for us as far as coming home to a homecoming crowd and trying to restore some order and some normalcy to what we do and how we go about it.Missouri (2-3, 0-2 SEC) had its regularly scheduled bye last week after losing 42-7 at LSU.While far removed from damaging winds and sweeping floods, Missouri coach Barry Odom still felt the storms impact in his program.You look at a roster full of 115 guys, you need to know where theyre from, what their families are going through, Odom said. Even though theyre not in it, theres a mental toll that takes on you when your family is going through something and you cant do anything about it. You feel helpless to an extent, but also want to make sure that you provide everything that those guys need to help them go through the process of a tragedy like whats taking place.Missouri has nine Florida natives on its roster, including wide receiver Chris Black and backup quarterback Marvin Zanders.Now that the brunt of the storm has passed, Zanders is eager to play a game in his home state.Being like 45-50 minutes away from Gainesville, I traveled to a lot of the games, he said. Ive just been to so many games there, I just know the atmosphere. Itll just be a great experience to actually be a part of the game.All things considered, this has not been a standard week of preparation for either team. However, both teams are excited about the prospect of returning their focus to football.I dont know at what point they decided to play or not play the game, and then, who knows when they transitioned over into preparation for us, Odom said. I know that we got a lot of really good work in last week.Missouri leads the SEC in passing with 350 yards per game, but will likely face its biggest test yet in Floridas stifling secondary. The Gators (4-1, 2-1) lead the conference in passing defense, allowing only 139 passing yards per game. Junior cornerback Teez Tabor has three interceptions and a pass breakup in four starts.Missouri quarterback Drew Lock hopes the extra preparation will translate into the Tigers first conference win of the season.I definitely think we prepared well last week. We took a lot of time watching time. More than normal, considering that we have that extra week, he said. Theres definitely a little chip on our shoulder. We know that we can do it, and we just want to prove and actually put it into action and get an SEC win.Florida will start quarterback Luke Del Rio, who started the Gators first three games of the season before missing the last two with a sprained ankle. Del Rio was 62 of 101 for 762 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions in his first three starts.With a healthy Del Rio back at the helm of Floridas offense, Missouri defenders are also watching plenty of film.Theres more shorter, quicker, faster guys, said Missouri safety Thomas Wilson. A lot of formations. A lot of motion. Weve got to be really solid with our checks so everybodys on the same page.Clearance NHL Jerseys . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week.

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Custom NHL Jerseys . Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon. Discount NHL Jerseys . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury.David Warner admits that Australias batsmen have fallen into a debilitating pattern of middle-order batting collapses that are wasting decent starts, and also says he does not know how the problem will be rectified.Having made 97 in an opening stand of 158 with Shaun Marsh, Warner said he was demoralised by watching the loss of all Australias 10 wickets for 86, surrendering prime position in the WACA Test to South Africa despite the visiting teams loss of Dale Steyn to a serious shoulder injury.The passage of play mirrored numerous innings on the recent tour of Sri Lanka despite vastly different conditions, and Warner said he could see the pattern stretching even further back, to the 2015 Ashes tour.I feel there has been a trend as well in the last 12 and maybe 18 months that also follows on to when we were in England and we were playing there, Warner said. Its tough to see as an opening batter sometimes when you get off to those starts as a top four and then you sort of fall away that easily.Its quite hard to take that when youre in the change rooms. I cant really remember, unless we go back to Hobart last year, where we really capitalised in that middle period. Thats something weve really got to work hard on, and at the moment I dont really have the answers.But we have to really knuckle down as a batting unit and try to build partnerships. We always talk about someone going on to get a big hundred in the top four, but its on everyone else in the middle as well to put their hand up and accept some responsibility to move forward as well and create that partnership.The Australian middle order seems an area for particular concern, most notably the failings of the allrounder Mitchell Marsh and the wicketkeeper Peter Nevill. Both were put more or less on notice before this match by the selection chairman Rod Marsh, but neither could assert themselves on day two - Nevill admittedly on the wrong end of an apparently incorrect decision after making a start. Warner said Marsh nneeded to work out how he batted best.ddddddddddddYou have to back yourself as a player, whether or not theres mixed messages there, him as a player knows and understands the game, Warner said. Hes here at this level for a reason, hes been chosen and selected in the team for a reason, thats to score runs and take wickets. He has to work out what he has to do to score runs and take wickets for the team. Then for his sake hell gain a bit of momentum.Ive been at the other end, I go back to a game at Wellington where he came out and won us the game against New Zealand, he played his strokes and played beautifully. Thats the Mitch Marsh we know as well. Im pretty sure for him as an individual I dont think hes clouded in any way.Pondering the state of the game with Steyn ruled out and the pitch currently playing well but likely to deteriorate, Warner said the first session on day three would be vital, with early wickets a must.Weve seen here before once its a great batting surface as it is. If you get yourself in, make the most of it and capitalise I think anythings chase-able, Warner said. They need to bat for two days if they can with two frontline bowlers, so we have to come out and bowl well. Were going to have to work really hard in that first session.Theyve still got two very, very good fast bowlers, and weve seen the wickets theyre capable of with the ball going both ways. We have to respect that. We cant look too far forward. Weve got to bowl well first tomorrow, then weve got to know that you get through that first period with the new ball they can only revert back to spin. Weve got to really knuckle down and apply that pressure on their two frontline bowlers.Im disappointed for Dale, all the amp and the talk in this series, I know how pumped he wouldve been. I know hes had this injury for a while, I just hope he can get back on the park. ' ' '
