COLUMBIA, S. Fergie Jenkins Jersey .C. -- South Carolina linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams believes his teams offense is improving, no matter how much it struggles to score.The Gamecocks (2-3, 1/3 Southeastern Conference) remain last in the league in offense and points while the defense is in the top half of the SEC, giving up 18.6 points a game. Last week, South Carolina held potent Texas A&M to its lowest point total of the season -- and 15 points below its season scoring average -- in a 24-13 loss last week.South Carolinas offense, though, could not move the ball enough to threaten the No. 8 Aggies.Were all a team. We win together, we lose together, Allen-Williams said. We have no frustration with the offense whatsoever. Theyre continuing to work. We know theyre a young side of the ball and we have a little bit more experience on defense. Thats the approach we take to the game, weve got to win the game.The defense will have its hands full this week with Georgia (3-2, 1-2), which expects to get star runner Nick Chubb back from injury. Chubb had one 3-yard carry last week in a loss to Tennessee before sitting out the game with his left ankle sprain. But Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said Chubb was cleared to practice all week and, barring any setbacks, was expected to be fully ready to face South Carolina.South Carolina starting quarterback, freshman Brandon McIlwain, again struggled to get things going and was replaced in the fourth quarter by senior Perry Orth, who finished 11-of-18 passing for 138 yards. The Gamecocks ended with 378 yards of offense, their most this season. However, a huge chunk of that came a few seconds into the game on A.J. Turners 75-yard touchdown run.Tight end Hayden Hurst said the problems come early in drives with mistakes and bad plays that force second- or third-and-long situations. Early in drives, we get behind the eight ball, he said. Well get a negative play that kills our drives. As long as we can just keep the ball moving, getting first downs, well get the ball moving down the field.Hurst understands how some might see a divide between a group doing its job and one thats struggling. But Hurst said the defense has been supportive, helping the offense in practices where it can.Were so close as a unit, the defense is going to pick us up and were going to pick the defense up, too, he said.South Carolina faced Texas A&M without top receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards, both injured. The two were back at practice this week and are expected to play against Georgia. With Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards back at practice, were better coaches (offensively). Its amazing how that works, Muschamp said. Thats good to see.The Gamecocks were not crisp on offense last week. An eight-play stretch in the second quarter, with McIlwain running the offense, yielded six negative-yardage plays plus an incomplete pass.Georgias coach, who has also started a freshman quarterback in Jacob Eason, understands how choppy an offense can look with a young player at the controls.Its one of those deals that he is a freshmen so hes going through a little bit of what (Jacob Eason) goes through where you see some formations, Smart said. You see some plays where its like `Wait a second, was it supposed to be that way or was it supposed to be another way?Muschamp said his team has not splintered and had a spirited practice prepping for the Bulldogs.Guys are bouncing around, he said. Its good. Javier Baez Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Wade Davis Jersey . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. http://www.cubsteamproshop.com/cubs-andre-dawson-jersey/ . Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. Rafael dos Anjos could be down on himself after a broken foot cost him a spot in the main event of one of 2016s biggest events and a chance to be the one to give Conor McGregor his first UFC loss.Instead, the UFC lightweight champion is rolling along, moving on to the next challenge: Thursdays title defense against?Eddie Alvarez?at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.My focus right now is on Eddie Alvarez, dos Anjos told ESPN.com. I just want to get back to the Octagon competing.Although theres no doubt dos Anjos missed out on a massive payday and potential star-making moment in March, the Brazilian made it seem that a megafight could still happen between himself and McGregor. And if it does, hes not sweating it.He has qualities, but I dont see anything that worries me about him, dos Anjos said. It would be a good matchup for me. I am a bad matchup for McGregor.Of course, a few things need to go down for that to happen. McGregor needs to avenge a loss to Nate Diaz, the one who stepped in for dos Anjos on 11 days notice at UFC 196. If all goes well, dos Anjos says he wont be hard to find.[McGregor] is the featherweight champion. Im the lightweight champion. I cannot make 145. They would need to cut my leg off, dos Anjos said. Hes the one that wants the lightweight belt. Hes the one that wants to be two-division champion. For now, Im looking for my division. If UFC actually think he deserves a shot in the lightweight, I will be there.Whats next in dos Anjos division is a title fight with Alvarez (27-4) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The former Bellator champion made splashes all across the world before signing with the UFC in 2014. Since falling to Donald Cerrone in his promotional debut, Alvarez has won his past two bouts -- both by split decision -- against Gilbert Melendez and Anthonny Pettis to earn the shot. David Ross Jersey. .Dos Anjos spent four weeks in Singapore with Evolve MMA to continue his growth in Muay Thai. He then continued his camp for six weeks at Kings MMA in California with trainer Rafael Cordeiro, where they broke down tape of Alvarez and formulated the game plan for Alvarez.Nobody is perfect. Everybody has a hole in his game, and we saw a couple of ways to win the fight and we feel very confident that were going to get the win, dos Anjos said.RDA has been on an epic run, winning five in a row and 10 of his last 11. The oddsmakers currently see dos Anjos as more than a 3-to-1 favorite to retain his title (although Alvarez was more than a 2-to-1 underdog when he beat Pettis in January). At 31, dos Anjos credits his recent run of success to everything going well in and outside of fighting.I just feel that Ive reached a point in my life that I feel very mature, dos Anjos said. I feel very mature, and now Im getting to know my body better, not only physically and everything else, but spiritually. I feel that Im improving my spiritual life a lot.?Im getting to be a better person, a better father, a better husband, and I think everything you do outside of the Octagon has an effect on your life inside the Octagon.Thursdays card kicks off three cards in as many nights for the UFC, with UFC Fight Night airing exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. Although the card doesnt have nearly as high a profile as Saturdays mega UFC 200 pay-per-view card, it could easily be regarded as the most important bout in the short history of the companys streaming service.Dos Anjos agreed, saying, Internet is the future, and Im happy to be part of it.
