TUCSON, Ariz. Vapormax 2019 Sale . -- Arizona exhausted the helium from its surprising and soaring run to the 2014 Pac-12 South title -- and the descent might not be over.The Wildcats are 9-9 since winning the South, including a Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State. This season, Arizona is 2-2 as it takes an injury-plagued team into Saturday nights game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl.By the end of last weeks 35-28 overtime loss to Washington, Arizona was down to its second-string quarterback, a fourth-string running back and was playing without defensive starters at nose guard, outside linebacker and safety. As of Wednesday, there was no word if any of the No. 1s would be back this week, or anytime soon.There is still too much of a gap at certain positions between the No. 1 and No. 2, coach Rich Rodriguez said. Thats our job in recruiting, to close that gap.Rodriguez has struggled against UCLA, going 0-4 against the Bruins while losing by a combined score of 170-73. UCLA is 2-2 this season, both of its losses coming against top 10 teams, Texas A&M and Stanford.The schedule stays unfriendly for Arizona. Games at No. 18 Utah, vs. USC, vs. No. 7 Stanford and at Washington State follow this weeks game.The long-term silver lining is that the Wildcats appear to have found a dynamic young quarterback in redshirt sophomore Brandon Dawkins. He took over in the second game for two-year starter Anu Solomon, who suffered a knee injury in practice after a season-opening 18-16 loss to BYU.Dawkins accounted for a 56-yard run, a 79-yard touchdown run and a 54-yard pass against Washington. He trails only Louisvilles Lamar Jackson nationally in quarterback rushing with 391 yards.Hes hard to defend, because you get him defended and he can still make plays, Washington coach Chris Petersen said Monday during his weekly press conference. You think you have angles on him, and he can outrun angles. ... Hes a problem. Theres no doubt.Dawkins has been solid in the passing game, completing 50 of 81 passes for 625 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception, but hes in danger of becoming a one-man show.Starting running back Nick Wilson has missed all but one series of the past two games because of an ankle injury. Orlando Bradford was dismissed after his arrest in a domestic violence case.And third-string running back J.J. Taylor, a freshman who ran for 168 yards against Grambling State, suffered a broken left ankle late in the third quarter against Washington.J.J. was beginning to show everyone how special he is, Rodriguez said. We had a lot of plans for our two-tailback sets. Those plans change somewhat. Injuries happen. You dont want it to all hit at the same position, but it happens. Right now, it stings.The Wildcats are also in the midst of a defensive reboot. Rodriguezs four-man defensive coaching staff is all new, led by coordinator Marcel Yates, who previously held the same position at Boise State.Early results have been mixed.Yates more aggressive scheme has contributed to nine takeaways in four games but the defense is having a hard time getting off the field, ranking 122 out of 128 teams by allowing opponents to convert 50.9 percent of their third-down chances (29 of 57).Theyre a scrappy bunch, Rodriguez said. We still need to do a lot better job of creating three-and-outs. Thats been the most frustrating thing, particularly when were trying to control the tempo and the pace.

Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. WASHINGTON -- The former girlfriend of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was charged Tuesday with stealing from a military charity she led.Court documents dont say how much prosecutors believe Patricia Driscoll took from the District of Columbia-based Armed Forces Foundation, whose mission is to support service members, veterans and their families.But a 2014 tax form for the nonprofit says that the foundation has become aware of suspected misappropriations by Driscoll totaling more than $599,000 for the years 2006 to 2014. It says she misused money for meals, travel, parking tickets, makeup and personal gifts.Driscoll, 38, was indicted on seven federal charges: two counts each of wire fraud, mail fraud and tax evasion, and one count of attempts to interfere with administration of Internal Revenue laws. She also faces a first-degree fraud charge under District of Columbia law.Driscoll is expected to surrender and enter a plea on Wednesday.The indictment alleges Driscoll falsely categorized and caused others to falsely categorize expenses in the foundations books and records as being for veterans and their families, when in fact they were for her own private benefit. She is also accused of concealing from the foundations accountants money she took from the charity, such as foundation funds being spent on office space in a building that she co-owned.Driscoll was part of a scheme to allegedly use forged documents, false accounting entries, inflated donation amounts, and false statements in order to convince donors to give money to the AFF, thereby enriching herself, according to the indictment.Driscoll declined to comment when reached Tuesday, referring questions to attorney Barry Pollack.Its a sad day that this matter has progressed to criminal allegations, Pollack told ESPN. The charges are completely unproven. Ms. Driscoll looks forward to having the opportunity to contest them in court.The joint FBI-IRS investigation began in 2015 after ESPNs Outside the Lines reported on questionable practices by Driscoll during her 12-year run as executive director of the foundation, which has ties to sports-related entities, including NASCAR.Among the practices raised in the Outside the Lines reports:? Documents show the Armed Forces Foundation had, in effect, been repeatedly used as a bank to lend money for or pay vaarious personal expenses, including bills for a private company Driscoll owns.

The nonprofits federal tax filings and audit reports in some instances failed to match, resulting in unexplained discrepancies about the amount of cash on hand, the mismatches totaling in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.? Until May 4, 2015, the foundation paid Driscoll and another person $96,000 in annual rent for its headquarters -- a building they co-owned -- which is operating in apparent violation of Washington zoning regulations.Documents also showed personal expense issues: The foundation wrote a $15,000 check toward Driscolls legal fees to a law firm involved in her child-custody case; it paid $6,315.22 for an infrared security camera shipped to her Maryland residence; and it picked up the tab for personal expenses on vacations to Paris and Morocco.Alongside Driscolls $171,027 foundation salary, documents show she received substantial bonuses for fundraising -- none of which was declared on the foundations tax filings or audit reports reviewed by Outside the Lines.In addition, records show that, for 17 months in a 19-month stretch in 2012-13, the foundation paid the credit card bill of Driscolls private security business, Frontline Defense Systems. The FDS charges totaled more than $100,000 and included massage treatments, dermatology visits and other personal medical expenses, toy store purchases and grocery bills, among others.Driscoll and Bush had a very public breakup in 2014 after she accused him of physically and verbally abusing her about a week after they split. Driscoll said Busch smashed her head into a bedroom wall and choked her in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway in Delaware.Law enforcement officials said there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against him, but a family court commissioner in the state ultimately granted her request for a protective order requiring Busch to stay away from her.As a result, NASCAR suspended Busch two days before the Daytona 500. He sat out the first three races of the 2015 season before being reinstated.ESPN investigative reporter Mike Fish and the Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
