LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky looks to reach what has been an elusive plateau when the Wildcats host a Georgia squad desperate to halt a stunning freefall.Those are just some of the stakes in Saturday nights matchup between teams on opposite paths. Georgia (4-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) has lost four of five entering the matchup with the Wildcats (5-3, 4-2 SEC), who have won five of six including three in a row and look to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2010.The Bulldogs aim to halt Kentuckys quest by ending their own slide that has them on the brink of falling below .500 after being in the Top 25 just over a month ago. Georgia managed just 164 yards of offense in last weeks 24-10 loss to No. 10 Florida in Jacksonville, an effort it cant duplicate against a Kentucky team thats rolling in many areas.Weve got to be able to answer the things they give us, first-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, whether its throwing the ball, whether its running the ball outside or running the ball out of more spread formations. It certainly hasnt been as consistent as wed like it to be.Kentucky has shown a lot of resiliency since starting 0-2. Just two weeks ago the Wildcats postseason hopes seemed destined to take a serious blow before they rallied past Mississippi State 40-38 on a 51-yard field goal as time expired. They beat Missouri 35-21 last week.Whether that gut check was a turning point in Kentuckys season remains to be seen. But it has definitely given the Wildcats confidence they can achieve anything -- including their best SEC mark in recent memory.It says a lot about this teams character, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said of the run. I dont think any one thing has changed over the past five or six weeks, this has been going on for a long time. Coaches have worked hard for many years, doing things to put players in position to do good things.---Some other things to watch as Georgia visits Kentucky:TRENCH WARRIORS: Kentucky has averaged 299 yards rushing per game during its win streak and 261 per outing over the past six games. Credit goes to a deep offensive line anchored by senior center Jon Toth that has blended experience and youth after being sometimes criticized at times. It feels good to be appreciated, Toth said, but weve always come out and tried to run the ball and protect the quarterback. Were not doing anything different, just trying to do it as best we can every week.DEFENSIVE `DAWGS: Georgia remains one of the SECs top defensive teams, ranking fourth with an average of 326.1 yards allowed per contest. Theyre also fourth against the rush (109.8) but face a big challenge against Kentuckys ground game thats averaging more than double that amount (219.5) behind the duo of Boom Williams and Benny Snell.BIG-PLAY BADET: Not overshadowed by Boom N Benny is Kentucky wide receiver Jeff Badet, who has 243 yards and three TDs on 10 receptions the past two weeks with the scores covering 40, 44 and 65 yards. Jeff has stepped up big and we needed him to, Stoops said.NO HANGOVER: No matter how Georgia has fared against Florida, a game better known as The Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, the following game has recently provided an upside. The Bulldogs have won the past nine games following the Jacksonville showdown, including three wins over Kentucky.NOSE FOR THE BALL: Junior college transfer Naquez Pringle has been a force at nose guard for the Wildcats since debuting at Florida. He ranks 11th on the team with 24 tackles the past seven games and made five tackles each against the Gators and Vanderbilt. A defense that was the SECs worst a few weeks ago has improved to 10th at 421.2 yards allowed per game.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Womens Warriors Jerseys .

Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff.

"The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. Anthony Davis is toiling on his own while putting up gaudy numbers to start the season for the New Orleans Pelicans.The superstar forward averages 30.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game for the 2-9 squad. He is shooting 48.7 percent from the floor, impressive for a high-usage player such as Davis.Davis, after a year dealing with injuries and his teams own struggles, is reclaiming his spot atop the league as one of the most unique and singular talents.Again though, the Pelicans injury issues and his teams struggles are holding his stardom back.New Orleans, which picked up its second victory of the season Monday night at home against the Boston Celtics, has only two other players averaging at least 10 points. The fourth-highest scorer, Lance Stephenson, was cut a week ago. The team is still hurting to score, averaging 98.9 points per 100 possessions.Davis takes a lot of attention, but he needs help. The good news is he may very well get it soon.Wednesdays game in Orlando may very well be the last one for Davis without former All-Star guard Jrue Holiday running alongside him. Holiday has been out the entire training camp and preseason to be with his wife, U.S. Womens Soccer star Lauren Holiday, after the birth of their child and surgery to remove a benign brain tumor.The Pelicans announced Tuesday that Holiday will return to the team for Thursdays practice and play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters Holiday has been working out twice pper day and appears in great shape as he rejoins the team.ddddddddddddIt is something the Pelicans desperately need.It will probably take him a couple of games to get back, but as long as he is on the floor its going to be good, Davis told the New Orleans Times Picayune. When you are missing one of your guys and they come back around, its always a happy feeling.Holiday averaged 16.8 points per game and 6.0 assists per game in 65 games last year for New Orleans. Adding him back to the lineup will be a major benefit and support to Davis and the Pelicans fledgling offense.Until he returns, they can take solace in playing another team that is struggling as much as they are.The Magic (4-7) scored only 69 points against the Indiana Pacers in a 19-point loss Monday. Their 33 percent shooting continued to crater their league-worst 41.0 percent shooting this season. Like the Pelicans, the Magic rank near the bottom of the league in points per 100 possessions.We had a few games now where we just cant score, we cant find a rhythm offensively, Magic center Nikola Vucevic told the Orlando Sentinel following Mondays game. I dont know the exact reason for it. Were getting good shots. Maybe we can get better shots.Magic coach Frank Vogel called his teams performance Monday very disappointing, especially after scoring 119 points in Oklahoma City the night before in an emotional victory.
