COLUMBIA, Mo. -- At this point in the college football season, teams know what is at stake.For some, a coveted spot in college football playoff is the goal. For others, its conference championships or bowl eligibility.Missouri (3-8, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) wont be able to check any of those accomplishments of its list this season, but that doesnt mean the Tigers are lacking motivation heading into their season finale against Arkansas on Friday.A total of 16 seniors will be honored at Faurot Field on Friday, something first-year coach Barry Odom believes can give his team an extra boost.I care about those guys and Ive said it a number of times, I owe them and I will forever, Odom said. I want to have success for them. Ive said that for a couple weeks here and that hasnt changed ... Im hopeful that Ive done enough here over the last couple months that they look at that and that experience has helped them out in a positive way.The Razorbacks (7-4, 3-4) dont have a shot at a division title either, but that hasnt stopped coach Brett Bielema from adding extra reminders for his players.I think its something weve been trying to build with our players, the Battle Line Rivalry, with the trophy and all that goes into it, Bielema said. Well have the trophy out there (at practice) every day this week, let them understand and feel it and what it represents ... Its fun because you kind of embrace the story of it all.Compounding the rivalry even further, earlier this week, Missouri linebacker Eric Beisel intentionally referred to Arkansas as Ar-Kansas and inferred the Razorbacks will be making a mistake by taking the field against the Tigers. Odom said he has addressed the issue with both Beisel and Bielema, adding that the comments are not something the football program is interested in.He said it, cant get it back, Odom said. We apologize, and that does not reflect our feelings making statements like that.Bielema said his team has accepted the apology as long as (Beisel) learns how to pronounce Arkansas.Here are some things to watch Saturday in the third edition of the Battle Line Rivalry:WILD WILLIAMSA year after breaking his neck and being rushed to the hospital for surgery, Arkansas running back Rawleigh Williams reclaimed the SEC rushing lead with his career-high 205 yards rushing in last weeks win over Mississippi State. The sophomore now has 1,209 yards rushing for the season and has topped the 100-yard rushing mark six times.ALLENS BACKAfter struggling in two games following a right knee injury, Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen returned to top form last week, completing 18 of 25 passes for 303 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The junior, in his first season as the starter, leads the SEC in passing efficiency and has thrown for 2,804 yards and 22 touchdowns this season.SCHERERS SENDOFFMissouri linebacker Michael Scherer suffered a torn ACL in a 51-45 loss to Middle Tennessee State Oct. 22, ending his senior season five games early. A St. Louis native, Scherer discussed the prospect of participating in senior day without being able to take the field.Its going to be tough, Scherer said. The toughest part is knowing that I wont be able to put on a uniform again here and be there with the guys who count on me.HARRIS FUTUREMissouri defensive end Charles Harris has 58 tackles and nine sacks this season, which ties for third in the SEC. After a breakout sophomore campaign, many believe Harris has high NFL draft stock. This week, Harris confirmed that he would not be participating in senior day ceremonies. However, Barry Odom is erring on the side of caution.Im not reading into that anything other than he has a lot of respect for his teammates, Odom said.---AP Sports Writer Kurt Voigt contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

Stitched Avalanche Jerseys . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. NEW YORK -- Trailing by four runs in the ninth inning, the somnambulant New York Yankees were on the verge of falling 10 games behind division-leading Baltimore in the AL East. Many in the crowd of 39,875 already had streamed out, convinced they had seen another listless loss in a season filled with them.Those who left early missed an astonishing comeback the Yankees hope sparks the turnaround that has eluded them.New Yorks first three batters reached, cutting the deficit by a run, and an electric seven-pitch span unfolded.Brian McCann hit a tying, three-run homer off Sam Dyson, Starlin Castro walked and Didi Gregorius capped the six-run inning with his two-run shot, lifting the Yankees to a 9-7 win over the Texas Rangers, the team with American Leagues best record.Probably the biggest win of the year for us, Alex Rodriguez said.New York trailed 7-2 Wednesday night and had a 1.2 percent win probability, according to Fangraphs, before McCanns solo homer with one out in the eighth off Cesar Ramos. McCann, bothered by patellar tendinitis, grabbed his left knee while rounding first and limped as he circled the bases.Matt Bush came in and escaped a two-on jam, and the 30-year-old rookie, seeking his first big league save, was left in for the ninth.Win probability was up to only 1.8 percent before Rob Refsnyder singled leading off the ninth. Jacoby Ellsbury followed with a walk, and Dyson (1-2) relieved.New York had been 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position before Brett Gardner singled, and Refsnyder came home when center fielder Ian Desmond bobbled the ball for an error.After Rodriguez lined out, McCann lined a 97 mph, 1-0 fastball on the inside of the plate above the knees and sent it about six rows deep into the right-field seats. Castro walked on five pitches, and Gregorius drove Dysons first offering, an outside changeup at the knees, into the first row above the right-field scoreboard, where the ball ricocheted off a fans glove and back onto the field.I didnt know it was gone like right away. After I stepped on first, thats when I saw it, Gregorius said. I didnt smile because I didnt want to smile, but as soon as I rounded third, see all the guys there, everybody cheering, I had to smile right there.It was the first game-ending homer of Gregorius career; he said his only other one was for the Netherlands national team in October 2010 against Taiwan in the Intercontinental Cup.Threw some quality pitches down in the zone and they got hit. Thats the end of it, saiid Dyson, who blew a save for the second time in 18 chances.dddddddddddd I kind of came in and let everybody down.New York (38-39), which has never been more than two games above .500 this year, had lost the series opener, wasting a ninth-inning lead after a 3 1/2-hour rain delay in a game that ended at 2:44 a.m. Cole Hamels shut down the Yankees on Tuesday, extending their losing streak to three.Theres a sense of urgency, manager Joe Girardi said before the game. As days tick away, you start to run out of time, and you dont want to bury yourself.Texas opened a 5-1 lead in the third against Masahiro Tanaka when Nomar Mazara, a 21-year-old rookie who is the youngest position player in the majors, hit a three-run double and scored on Prince Fielders single off a diving Refsnyder at first.Rougned Odor added his 15th homer in the sixth, an opposite-field drive to left, and Adrian Beltre hit an opposite-field homer to right in the eighth off Luis Cessa (1-0), who allowed one run in three innings for his first big league win.Chase Headley had homered in the second against Nick Martinez, who played college ball in the Bronx with Fordham, and had a sacrifice fly in the sixth off Ramos. The drama was yet to come. New York had not won this year when trailing after eight innings.It can be huge, McCann said. We dug ourselves a hole early in April, and were getting out of it right now.Gregorius hoped the comeback was just a prelude.I would say the biggest is yet to come, he said.RARE FEATSBefore McCann, the previous Yankees player to homer in the eighth and ninth innings of a game was Tony Clark in 2004, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ... The Yankees had not won when trailing by four runs in the ninth inning or later since beating Oakland 10-9 on Sept. 22, 2012, when they allowed four runs in the 13th, tied the score in the bottom half and prevailed 10-9 in the 14th.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: After leaving Tuesdays game in the first inning with a tight right hamstring, Carlos Beltran probably wont be available through at least Thursday, according to Girardi.UP NEXTYankees RHP Michael Pineda (3-7) starts Thursdays series finale against RHP A.J. Griffin (3-0). Pineda is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his last four starts. Griffin returned from a stint on the DL caused by shoulder soreness and allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings against Boston last Saturday. ' ' '
