FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Austin Allen insists hes fine physically. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema says the same about his quarterback.What hasnt been fine lately for the Razorbacks (6-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) has been Allens play since he injured his right knee in a 56-3 loss to Auburn on Oct. 22.The junior, who led the SEC in passing efficiency through the first half of his first season as a starter, has struggled mightily over his last 2 + games -- including in a 38-10 loss to No. 16 LSU on Saturday . Allen was 15-of-31 passing for 210 yards and two interceptions in the defeat, leading to questions about the health of his right knee and what Arkansas can do to get him back to his first-half level of success.You never want to go out on a Saturday and play like that, Allen said. You get 12 opportunities and you kind of waste one. Im kind of sick to my stomach at the way I played. I feel like I let the seniors down, let everyone down.While Allen and his coaches say health isnt an issue, its difficult to ignore the fact Allens struggles have come after his right knee was rolled on by Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson in the second quarter of the Tigers win.Allen was helped off the field following the hit, and he returned to the game after missing one series -- completing his final four passes of the half. However, since then, the junior has completed only 35 of 71 passes (49.3 percent) and appeared less than willing to push off his back leg on several throws.Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos said footwork has been a problem the last few games for Allen, but he said the quarterbacks throwing mechanics are fine. Enos also said Allen might be rushing some of his decisions as a result of the 25 sacks the Razorbacks have allowed this year -- nine more than they allowed in each of the last two full seasons.Hes been a little antsy, and when youre antsy sometimes youll make decisions too quickly or youll get off receivers too quickly, Enos said.Bielema said after the Auburn loss that Allen would not have been able to play the week following if Arkansas hadnt had a bye. After missing practice that week, Allen returned last week against Florida and overcame a shaky start -- completing three of his first nine passes -- to help the Razorbacks to a 31-10 win. Allen finished 15-of-26 passing for 243 yards in that win, but he did throw an interception that was returned for a touchdown and hes now thrown four interceptions since injuring his knee -- 10 for the season.The Razorbacks have already clinched their third straight bowl appearance, but they must now win out -- including a bowl game -- to increase their win total for a third straight season under Bielema.That would have to begin this week when Arkansas travels to Mississippi State (4-6, 2-4), where it will undoubtedly need Allen to return to his early season form to have a chance on the road.I think the same reason that we put (Allen) in the position is the same reason were believing hes going to come out of it, Bielema said.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.orgChandler Cox Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Trenton Irwin Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Carli Lloyd says the time shes taken to recover from a minor knee injury has been a blessing in disguise because it helped her to slow down and reflect after a wild year.Honestly, its been the best 10 weeks I think Ive had in a long time. Ive been able to rest my mind, rest my body, rejuvenate myself. Im more rejuvenated than I can even remember, she said. Ive gotten to spend time with my fiance and my friends and be in my house. Its honestly been one of the best things that could have happened.Lloyd scored a hat trick in less than 16 minutes in the Womens World Cup title game victory over Japan nearly a year ago. The 5-2 win gave the U.S. national team its third overall title in the games most prestigious tournament, and made Lloyd a household name.In the aftermath, she not only played in the teams victory tour, but she was showered with sponsorship deals and appearance requests. She was named the FIFA Womens Player of the Year, the sports highest honor.And to top it off, shes also wrote a memoir, When Nobody Was Watching due to come out in September.This time last year, no one could have predicted this, she said. Its still going.But much of the chaos came to a screeching halt in April, when she sprained her right knee in a game with her National Womens Soccer League team, the Houston Dash. The Grade 1 MCL sprain was expected to take three to six weeks to heal.Lloyd did not rush her return because of whats looming this August: the Olympics in Brazil. She needs to be fully healed as the United States goes for its fourth straight gold medal.The New Jersey native has been key to the last two Olympic efforts. She scored the winning goal in the gold-medal match in Beijing and London.And, truth be told, Lloyd needed the break. The injury, while unfortunate, came at a good time, far enough ouut from the Olympics that she could still be back in time.ddddddddddddHonestly, if I had kept going, at that pace -- when I do things I do them 100 percent, whether its on the field or a commercial shoot, appearance, anything. I was completely fried, she told The Associated Press in a phone interview.Her coach and mentor James Galanis said he also sensed she was running on empty. He was going to suggest she take time off, but she had obligations with the Dash and the national team, as well as other appearances.Here was a completely drained out girl, and yeah, I was concerned, said Galanis, director of Universal Soccer Academy in New Jersey. When she got injured, my immediate thinking was, `I hope its not serious. Then it was, `If its not serious thats great, shes going to have to take a break whether she likes it or not.Lloyd is rejoining the national team on Friday for training in advance of the U.S. teams match on July 9 against South Africa at Chicagos Soldier Field. The team will also play on July 22 against Costa Rica in Kansas City, Kansas, before leaving for Brazil.Im pretty much 100 percent. I would say about 95 percent, she said. Im basically doing everything: cutting, springing, running, shooting. Ive been jumping in with some of James teams and playing with the kids. So, nearly there. I should be good to go.Thats where Galanis veers a bit from Lloyd. He thinks she looks stronger than she has for a long time.I think shes coming back a lot more mature, a lot more wiser. And her condition -- I havent seen her as explosive as she is right now. She looks so powerful, he said.
