The Clemson Tigers?open the season on the road against the Auburn Tigers on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.?The first full week of the season, however, kicks off two days earlier, on a Thursday night featuring 16 FBS games. That Thursday night is now just 27 days away.The number 27 is significant to Clemson fans, or at least it should be. You might be more familiar with Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson, running back Wayne Gallman or receiver Artavis Scott, but did you know that kicker Greg Huegel?led the FBS with?27 made field goals last season?Huegel made 84.4 percent of his field goal attempts on the season, ninth-best among kickers with at least 20 attempts. Huegel went a perfect 17-for-17 against ACC foes. His 138 points surpassed C.J. Spillers total from 2009 (128) as the Tigers single-season scoring record.Those stats alone are great, but when you consider Huegels background the numbers are even more impressive. Huegel sat in the stands as a spectator at Memorial Stadium as a freshman in 2014. He joined the team as a walk-on in the summer of 2015 and instantly became an All-American. Keep an eye on Huegel as Clemson makes another run for a College Football Playoff championship.?In case you missed the start of our countdown:28 days: Adrian Peterson wore No. 28 for Oklahoma29 days: Alabamas Bryant-Denny Stadium opened in 192930 days: Vinny Testaverde won the Heisman 30 years ago Air Max Baratas Online .

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals have dipped into their minor league system this year for starting pitchers when veteran hurlers have gone on the disabled list.Earlier this summer, Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez -- a pair of promising right-handers -- made their major league debuts.But another young hurler who was lost in the shuffle is A.J. Cole, who makes his second start in a week on Saturday at home against the Colorado Rockies.They can score in a hurry, Washington manager Dusty Baker said of the Rockies. They can score a bunch in a hurry.Cole, a right-hander, pitched in three games last year for the Nationals and made his first big league start in April 2015 at Atlanta. It did not go well, and Cole did not get another shot at starting for Washington until Monday night in Baltimore.That is when he made the start after veteran right-hander Stephen Strasburg went on the disabled list.Cole responded with an admirable effort as he went seven innings against the power-hitting Orioles, while giving up four runs and two homers.That helped save the Nationals bullpen, which got another break Thursday when Max Scherzer went eight innings in a 4-0 victory over Baltimore.Cole, from Florida, was drafted by the Nationals in the fourth round out of high school in 2010 and turned down a scholarship to the University of Miami to play pro ball.He was 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA in three games last year with the Nationals, and one start. He was 5-6, 3.15 in 21 games (19 starts) last season forr Triple-A Syracuse.dddddddddddd Cole was with Syracuse this year before he was called up Monday to start for Washington.Cole was 8-8, 4.26 in 22 starts for the Chiefs this year.The Nationals began the series against the Rockies on Friday with a win and it began a stretch of a soft schedule down the stretch.Washington faces teams from the weak National League East, along with home series against the Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks.Cole will be opposed Saturday afternoon by Jorge De La Rosa (8-7, 5.07 ERA), who is 5-2 with a 3.92 ERA in 11 starts versus Washington.The Nationals continue to be energized by center fielder Trea Turner, who had two hits Friday and has 12 in the last four games.The kids really fast, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Guys like that they cause some problems when they get on base. Even on the contact play, the groundball to first. Most guys dont score on that.Baker agreed.Thats that old expression, speed kills, Baker said. When you can run, you make people rush. And if people rush in this game most of the time theyre not themselves and most of the time theyre going to make mistakes.And thats what Trea does, any ball that he hits, you got to field it cleanly and throw it correctly. So theres no substitute for speed, you know how I like speed. I like speed even when i was young and got a lot of tickets. I love speed. ' ' '
