BURTON-UPON-TRENT, England -- Although new England manager Sam Allardyce will take his time before deciding if Wayne Rooney continues as captain, he already has a clearer idea of how he wants the national team to play.Rooney, Englands all-time leading scorer, led England at the recent European Championship in France, where it lost 2-1 to Iceland in the last 16. The humiliating defeat prompted Roy Hodgson to resign as coach.Having helped Sunderland avoid relegation from the Premier League last season the 61-year-old Allardyce quit the club to replace Hodgson, and he held his first news conference at St Georges Park on Monday.Asked if Rooney would be his captain, Allardyce said it was far too early to decide. He added that he first needs to meet with his players and staff before Englands qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup begins in September.England looked dispirited and disjointed against Iceland in a new low for the national team and the loss was met with scathing criticism back home. Englands Premier League stars were accused of being pampered and technically deficient at the highest level.Allardyce, a vastly experienced coach at club level with Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham, has earned a reputation as a shrewd tactician but primarily as a great motivator.Although he reminded Englands players not to lose sight that playing for their country is as good as it gets, he urged them to relax more.I think the bonding of the team is exceptionally important and trying to create a good team spirit (also is), he said. And have some fun, the game of football is to be enjoyed and Ive enjoyed my life in the game for many years.At club level, Allardyces sides threatened on the counter-attack with creativity mostly restricted to the final third of play, and he hinted that he will adapt Englands tactics with respect to the opposition, rather than imposing a certain playing style.Hodgsons attempts to turn England into a patient passing team were ruthlessly exposed at the 2014 World Cup -- where it finished bottom of its group -- and at Euro 2016. In both tournaments, England was found wanting in defense and lacked creativity.Choosing styles or systems depends on the players available and then who were playing, Allardyce said. My coaching technique is to try and give the players the opportunity to win a football match wherever they are playing, be it home or away. And to make them aware of the opposition, which may change the style of how we play.Englands first World Cup qualifier in Group F is away to Slovakia on Sept. 4. It will also face Scotland, Slovenia, Lithuania and Malta.

Lorenzo Alexander Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Although Rutgers is 3-0 for the first time in eight years, Steve Pikiell isnt ready to make any declarations about his team just yet.Weve got a long ways to go, the first-year coach said. Im happy weve got to a good start, but it doesnt mean a whole heck of a lot to me, honestly.Were just trying to get these guys in the mode of defending and rebounding. It helps you win basketball games.Corey Sanders had 15 points, Mike Williams added 14 and nine rebounds and the Scarlet Knights used the defense-and-rebounding formula for a 66-59 victory over DePaul in the Gavitt Tip-Off Games on Thursday night.Deshawn Freeman added nine points and nine rebounds as the Scarlet Knight built a 46-27 rebounding edge.Eli Cain had 24 points on 8-for-13 shooting to lead DePaul.Billy Garrett had just five points for the Blue Demons (1-1) on 1-for-11 shooting before fouling out with more than eight minutes remaining.I can get a little bit concerned because its the second game in a row where hes got in foul trouble and hasnt shot the ball well, DePaul coach Dave Leitao said.You cant be talked about as one of the top seven, eight or nine best players in the (Big East) and not play well. Thats something we have to figure out.DePaul freshman Devin Gage suffered a right shoulder injury when he fell hard to the court with just under 12 minutes left. He did not return.Rutgers took control with a 12-2 run for a 31-22 lead. The Scarlet Knights had a 33-26 halftime advantage.Both teams shot poorly in the first half, but the difference for Rutgers was an 11-0 edge in second-chance points and a 29-8 first-half rebounding advantage.The Scarlet Knights continued to expand the lead at the beginning of thee second half and took a 54-32 advantage (their biggest of the game) on a basket by Shaquille Doorson with 10:39 to play.ddddddddddddI thought our guys were kind of locked in and did a really good job defensively, Pikiell said. Weve become a much improved defensive team and were a good rebounding team.DePaul made a furious late rally using pressure to pull within six points in the final minute, but dug too deep a hole.I think the beginning of the second half killed us, Cain said. We really couldnt get anything good on the offensive end.BIG PICTURERutgers: Although the Scarlet Knights are unbeaten, its way too early to tell whether the program is on the rebound. So far, the competition has been underwhelming (Molloy, Drexel and DePaul) and there was plenty not to like about this performance. Still, the defense and rebounding provide a good foundation to build upon.DePaul: The Blue Demons dont have a lot of offensive firepower to begin with, so scoring is especially difficult when Garrett has a poor shooting night. The lack of a post presence put all the pressure to provide offense on Cain, who had 21 points in the opener against Robert Morris.OLD FRIENDSPikiell and Leitao both were assistants under former Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun. Pikiell also played for Calhoun at UConn.Dave Leitao is like my hero, Pikiell said. He was my coach at UConn, I worked with him, he was mentor and I know what a great coach he is.UP NEXTRutgers looks to stay unbeaten when it hosts Niagara on Sunday.DePaul plays the second of three straight home games Sunday against Milwaukee.
