SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame running back Tarean Folston learned not to take anything for granted, even practice, after a season-ending knee injury last year in the opener against Texas.It can be taken away at any time, he said. Im going to this game saying I owe you something. I left a lot of games on the field last year because of injury. Im ready to get back out there. I cant wait.Folston tore his anterior cruciate ligament on his third carry of the season, making an open-field cut. He had been the leading rusher as a sophomore in 2014 with 889 yards on 175 carries and was expected to get even more carries last season as the only experienced back.Instead, he watched as converted receiver C.J. Prosise rushed for 1,032 yards on 156 carries and left for the NFL and Josh Adams set a school freshman record with 835 yards on 117 carries.Im ready to get this year kicked off, Folston said.During spring practice, he was still recovering from his injury and didnt take any hits. He admits to feeling a little jittery when practice started this month.But I got that first snap I was like, `Man theres no point being like this. This is what you do. Nothings changed. You went through a little adversity, but nothings changed, he said.Coach Brian Kelly said Folston hasnt shown any hesitancy.Hes running the inside zone play with that kind of recklessness that shows he is not concerned about his knee, Kelly said.Folston said the season off gave him a different mindset.Im not going to say I hated practice, but I just had a different view, said the senior from Cocoa, Florida. Nobody wants to sit out from something they love. So I just go into practice with a different attitude, a different love for the game. Its just different now. I cant explain it.While Folston was expected to be the primary ball carrier last season, he goes into this season knowing he will be sharing the load for the 10th-ranked Irish with Adams and Dexter Williams, who has been drawing praise from Kelly for his play. Adams was one of the five players arrested Friday on preliminary charges of marijuana possession after being stopped by a state trooper in Fulton County.Kelly plans to again give the ball to the back with the the hot hand.When C.J. got hot, we played him quite a bit. When Josh got hot, we played him. But I do think that we are a little bit different this year in that we do have some different styles, he said.Kelly describes Folston as an elusive inside-out runner. Adams is explosive and prefers to run on the outside. Williams can do both.Folston said he isnt worried about sharing carries, saying it will mean fewer hits and could reduce injuries.A lot of people think that having so many backs would be a negative thing. But when you look at it, its definitely a plus, he said. We can flip in and out and that can keep the backs fresh. So having that many guys is a plus. Justin Morrow USA Jersey . Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69.

Chris Pontius Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Timothy Weah USA Jersey ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.England captain Alastair Cook expects the rule change on the toss in county cricket to benefit the national team. This season the travelling captain is offered the option of bowling first, with the idea that counties will prepare better pitches and encourage more spin bowling.The first few weeks suggest the plan is working - runs have been flowing, bowlers are having to work harder for their wickets, and there has been a great deal more spin bowling than previous years. Cook - who has been in superb form this season, scoring three centuries in four games for Essex - says that if the new conditions encourage bowlers to learn new skills, such as reverse swing, the England team will benefit in the long term.The new rules have helped - the pitches have been flatter, he told Sky Sports News HQ. They have produced better cricket. Cook has already made three centuriies this season That can only help the England cricket team in the long run.dddddddddddd A lot more spin has been bowled. You cant get away with 70mph, dobbing it on a length.You have to find ways to get 20 wickets. Counties will be brave and will hopefully pick bowlers who might be younger, but can get it down there - those young guys will get the opportunities and have to learn skills like reverse swing and spinning it.Im not sure the bowlers will be so keen on it. In the first four games I think more runs have been scored. In three out of the four games Ive played, 350 has been a good score but there has been something in it (the pitch) as you would expect in April.Thats exactly with Andrew Strauss and the ECB would have wanted, pitches flatter that take spin later on.
