COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolinas once-sluggish offense is getting younger -- and more productive -- almost every week.Behind freshmen quarterback Jake Bentley, running back Rico Dowdle and receiver Bryan Edwards, the Gamecocks (4-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) have averaged 29 points in their past two wins after scoring only 14 points a game through their first six contests.Bentley had two touchdown passes, Dowdle rushed for 127 yards and Edwards caught a 17-yard TD in South Carolinas 24-21 stunner over then-No. 18 Tennessee this past Saturday. The trio will try to lead the Gamecocks to a third consecutive victory -- the team only had three wins in 2015 -- when they face last-place Missouri (2-6, 0-4) on Saturday.Its very exciting, said tight end Hayden Hurst, a 23-year-old sophomore. Seeing these younger guys come along quick, theres going to be a lot of special things going on around here.It has already been nothing like the Gamecocks endured in the seasons first six games. With senior Perry Orth and freshman Brandon McIlwain trading off quarterback starts, South Carolinas attack never got going.South Carolina only had two TD passes in the seasons first half, both of those thrown by Orth in a failed comeback at Mississippi State last month. The running game, led by A.J. Turner and David Williams, also had struggled to find room to move.The Gamecocks quickly fell to last in SEC scoring and rushing, spots they still occupy now despite the past two victories.Things, though, are trending upward.South Carolina put up its most yards (395) and points (34) in the 34-28 win over UMass in Bentleys first college start two games ago. He figured to have a harder time moving the team against Tennessee, but led the Gamecocks to a touchdown the first time they had the ball. South Carolina never lost the lead.Dowdle had sports hernia surgery in the offseason and hurt his groin in August. After missing the first four games, Dowdle really got going against UMass with team-high 87 yards rushing.He notched his first 100-yard game in college last week, continually sweeping around Tennessees front line.Hurst remembered watching Dowdle make a sharp cut to escape a South Carolina linebacker during informal drills.I stood back and told Perry (Orth), `Hes going to be special, Hurst said.Edwards, a 6-foot-3, 210 wideout from Conway, was one of the top in-state prospects who briefly waivered from his long-held South Carolina commitment after coach Steve Spurriers mid-year departure and the Gamecocks 3-9 season.Muschamp made landing Edwards, among five finalists for South Carolinas Mr. Football award for the states top player, a priority and its paying this fall. He had eight catches for 101 yards in his debut, a win over Vanderbilt to start the season. He has caught TD passes each of the past two weeks, developing a quick and obvious chemistry with fellow freshman Bentley.Id rather play a young talented guy thats got a bright future than play an older guy thats not as talented, Muschamp said. Thats what its about. Thats where we are right now.Bentley, Dowdle and Edwards are unavailable to speak with reporters, per Muschamps policy.Muschamp said the players are talking bowl game and understand beating Missouri is an essential step. The Gamecocks have one more home game with FCS opponent Western Carolina on Nov. 19 between road trips to No. 10 Florida and No. 3 ClemsonMissouri has lost 10 straight SEC games, dating to its 24-10 win over the Gamecocks last year. First-year coach Barry Odom is also trying to blend young players with veterans to turn around his program.I know theyre hungry to win. Theyre hurt, he said. But I know weve been through a lot together. We know were going to stay the course.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Fake Penguins Jerseys .

NRL referees boss Tony Archer has applauded his officials for not being swayed by the upswing in talk about Melbournes wrestling tactics during this years finals series.Storm coach Craig Bellamy last week lashed out at critics who he claimed routinely come out to bash his teams playing style at the business end of the season.However, Bellamys men overcame the barrage of judgement to progress to a highly-anticipated decider against premiership-less Cronulla on Sunday.The man who oversaw the preliminary final between the Storm and Canberra, Matt Cecchin, was rewarded for a strong game by being named lead referee at ANZ Stadium.Archer expects his officials to continue their form in the biggest game of the year.What I expect is the referees to continue the referee the ruck area the way they have in the semi-final period because I think theyve handled it really well, he told AAP.Theres always going to be a level of debate around officiating as the stakees get higher.ddddddddddddArcher said there were two main elements when it came to officiating the ruck.Ones whether or not theres any elements of foul play, and the second is the release of the defenders. Thats determined by the type of tackle and who won the play the ball, he said.Cecchin said the desperation of coaches and players during the finals series meant there would naturally be an increase in scrutiny over referees.But he vowed not to enter the game with a particular mindset.Archer will back this up - Im a very uncomplicated referee. I dont go in there with a massive game plan, or a lot of preparation, he said.I found when Id done that in the past, I get let down when things dont go to plan.So I go in there now with a very open mind. I treat my play the ball with time and do my best with every play the ball. ' ' '
