After picking up successive County Championship titles, Yorkshire have a target on their back. Theyre the team that everyone wants to beat but head coach Jason Gillespie insists that the challenge of winning a third title on the bounce is something to be embraced.Indeed, their 2014 triumph ended a 13-year wait for the prize - a minor delay compared to the 33 years that had passed since their last win prior to that - during which time they even suffered relegation to Division Two. Relative to that, the pressure of defending the title is no hardship at all. Were just embracing the challenge, Gillespie told Sky Sports ahead of Sundays Sky Live Championship match at Nottinghamshire.Weve put aside the fact that weve won two Championships - thats great but were just focusing on this summer and this season, and what we need to do to play good cricket. We see it as a massive challenge and something to be embraced.The other eight teams are the challengers. Weve had hard-fought draws against Hampshire and Warwickshire so we know that every team, every match, that we play in this division is going to be really difficult - a really strong challenge but were excited about that and were up for it. Jack Brooks, Adam Lyth, Gary Ballance and Ryan Sidebottom celebrate Yorkshires 2015 County Championship win It is that attitude of relishing every opportunity to overcome any obstacle that is put in front of them that has seen Yorkshire rise so swiftly under the Australians leadership.Promotion in Gillespies first season at the helm in 2012 was followed by a second-place finish in 2013, in which they pushed eventual champions Durham all the way, before going one better in each of the past two seasons.In that time, the county has also brought through a talented group of young batsmen, many of whom either have or are tipped to represent England.Of course, the step up to international level is not without its difficulties and Yorkshire have seen a couple of their number struggle at the highest level.Namely, Gary Ballance and Adam Lyth, both of whom have returned to the county scene keen to regroup before pushing for an England recall. Adam Lyth good enough to thrive at international level, says Gillespie Theyve responded very positively, its been great, Gillespie said of the duo. The lads have worked really hard on their games.They understand, theyre grateful for the opportunity to play for their country and while it didnt quite work out for them, the advice from us has been simply: You are your own best selector, go out and score as many runs as you can, that gives you the best chance of being picked.Were obviously very keen to see as many Yorkshire players representing England as possible. I certainly think Adam is good enough to succeed and thrive at international level.He didnt quite grasp his chance during the Ashes but all he can do is focus on scoring runs for Yorkshire and if an opportunity comes then Im sure hell grab it with both hands. Gary Ballance was dropped by England last summer The former Aussie quick was equally upbeat on Ballances chances, praising his dedication and insisting that he too is ready to take his chance if it comes.Hes been working on all facets of his game, added Gillespie. Theres been a lot of media talk and people offering advice and whatnot, but hes been working very hard with various coaches at Yorkshire on various aspects of his game.Hes been in fine touch so far in pre-season and this season and hes really excited about this summer ahead for Yorkshire.Perhaps the example both men can look to is Joe Root. The England star has recovered from being dropped from the side during the 2013/14 Ashes series to establish himself as one of the worlds leading batsmen. Joe Root is likely to feature for Yorkshire against Notts And the pair will have a chance to pick his brains in the coming weeks with Root set to make a rare appearance for Yorkshire in their Division One clash with Nottinghamshire.We dont really bank on having Joe at all so any time we do have him is an absolute bonus, said Gillespie.Its great that hes back and available for us for a couple of fixtures. We welcome him with open arms. Hes a great lad to have around and, obviously, a wonderful player.As for the match itself, Gillespie is expecting a difficult game at Trent Bridge but aims to ensure Yorkshire have done everything possible to go out and claim their first win of the campaign.Theyre a very good side. They had a good first win of the season and then they lost to Lancashire, he added.We know what a quality side they are and were certainly very respectful of that and we know its going to be a really tough challenge for us.Well do our best preparation, well do our research on their side and well work really hard to give ourselves the best chance of being successful.You can watch Yorkshire take on Nottinghamshire in Specsavers County Championship Division One live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Jerome Baker Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. David Fales Jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. (STATS) -- Now you see, now you dont.Thats the scenario with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, who are playing their final season in the FCS as an independent while they transition to the FBS level next season.Officially, Coastal is already a member of the Sun Belt Conference -- having joined on July 1, just one day after the Chanticleers baseball team won the College World Series while representing the Big South Conference.But Coastal isnt eligible for the FBS level until next year, so its football program will play a lame-duck, 12-game schedule against FCS teams. While the Chants arent eligible for the FCS playoffs after making appearances each of the last four years, they should win often this year behind their growing talent under coach Joe Moglia and eight games at home.Yet, a question persists: Will Coastal get its due in the STATS FCS Top 25?The Chants have appeared in the national media poll for 44 consecutive weeks over three seasons. But recent history suggests some backlash, as voters demonstrated in 2013 while FCS national powers Georgia Southern and Appalachian State played their final season in the subdivision before rising to the FBS, also in the Sun Belt.Voters were lukewarm about recognizing the ttwo Southern Conference members, whose programs combined for nine FCS national titles, as poll-worthy.ddddddddddddBoth teams were coming off playoff seasons in 2012, with Georgia Southern reaching the national semifinals for the third consecutive year. But Georgia Southerns No. 9 ranking in the preseason poll was the only time either team was ranked in the Top 10. Once both teams fell from the rankings during the season, they didnt return.Appalachian State deserved it, falling to 4-8 -- its first losing season in 20 years. But Georgia Southern finished 7-4 with a season-ending win at Florida and probably deserved to be part of the final Top 25.Like those two teams, Coastal Carolina is going above the FCS scholarship limit of 63 as part of its transition to the FBS maximum of 85. That gives voters more reason to discount the Chants than just negativity over a program leaving the FCS behind.But the NCAA recognizes Coastal as an FCS member this season and 12 FCS schools didnt have a problem with scheduling the Chanticleers.It will be interesting to see how voters perceive them this season.
