STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi States defense was supposed to be one of the teams strengths this season.Instead, its ranged from a mild disappointment to a downright disaster and its a big reason Mississippi State enters Saturdays Egg Bowl against Ole Miss in a tie with their in-state rival for last place in the SECs Western Division.The last two weeks have been particularly ugly: The Bulldogs have given up a combined 109 points and 1,276 yards in losses to Alabama and Arkansas, including last weekends 58-42 setback to the Razorbacks .Mississippi State gave up a season-high 661 total yards against Arkansas. Rawleigh Williams ran for a career-high 205 yards and four touchdowns while Austin Allen threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns for the Razorbacks, who moved up and down the field without much resistance.Coach Dan Mullen said the game tape was predictably gruesome.There were a lot of issues everywhere, Mullen said. We didnt fit right, missed alignments, poor communication and missed tackles. Not a very good performance.The continued problems for Mississippi States defense are surprising, especially considering seven seniors are listed as starters. Veterans like linebacker Richie Brown and defensive linemen A.J. Jefferson were part of the Bulldog teams that had so much success in 2014 and 15, but new defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon hasnt been able to parlay that experience into good results this fall.The Bulldogs (4-7, 2-5 SEC) have one more chance to get it right on Saturday when they travel to face the Rebels (5-6, 2-5) in Oxford, Mississippi.Ole Miss has had one of best offenses in the league for most of the season, but it hasnt been quite as prolific over the past few weeks since freshman Shea Patterson took over for injured senior Chad Kelly.The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Patterson will be making his third career start. Hes had some good moments in his first two starts -- which included a win over Texas A&M and a loss to Vanderbilt -- but is completing just 53.6 percent of his passes. Thats well below Kellys 62.5 percent mark before the injury.Mississippi States goal is to make Patterson uncomfortable in the pocket. Bulldogs safety Brandon Bryant said complete concentration will be needed for the entire 60 minutes on Saturday.It is a very big game and we have to go hard all week in practice and take it day by day, Bryant said. Then on Saturday we have to impose our will on them.Mississippi State is giving up 34.3 points per game this season, which ranks last in the 14-team SEC. Ole Miss isnt much better, giving up 32.1 points per game to rank 12th.Considering Mississippi State has a productive offense led by quarterback Nick Fitzgerald, its fair to expect the Bulldogs to score some points on Saturday.So if the Bulldogs can get a few stops or turnovers, it might be enough for the win.We have to go out and execute and have fun, Mississippi State linebacker Dez Harris said. We cant worry about the scoreboard or what people think. We have to play our game and do what we have to do to win.-----More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .Fake Nike Air Vapormax . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.

We know he and his family have been dealing with this throughout the season. Right now, there are things that are so much more important to baseball.Then on Sunday afternoon, the Padres took a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies and absorbed a three-game sweep at Coors Field.Solarte is away from the team. Catcher Derek Norris is day-to-day with an injured finger, and the Padres are playing without a right-handed-hitting outfielder. General manager A.J.

Over the last two weeks of the season, the Padres and Diamondbacks will play six times essentially to see who finishes last in the National League West and possibly enters the offseason with the second-worst record in the National League.Not that matters are much better for the Diamondbacks.While Green seems secure in his job, Arizona manager Chip Hale, his former boss, is one of several Diamondbacks leaders who could be two weeks away from the unemployment line.ddddddddddddMatters are that dire in the southwest corner of the United States.The matchup Monday will see Arizona right-hander Braden Shipley (4-3, 5.56 ERA) oppose left-hander Clayton Richard (2-3, 3.00 ERA). Richard is 2-2 with a 1.70 ERA in eight appearances (six starts) since returning to the Padres in August as a free agent.Richards return to San Diego is easily explained. One, Clayton and Ashley Richard enjoy living in San Diego. Two, as Clayton says, The Padres promised me a chance to start.Shipley, 24, the Diamondbacks first-round pick (15th overall) in the 2013 draft, will be making his ninth start -- and second at Petco Park -- after two straight appearances out of the Arizona bullpen.Its different, Shipley said of the second and third relief outings in his 91-appearance professional career. As pitchers, were so routine oriented that my whole pregame ritual was thrown off a bit.Shipley picked up his fourth win of his rookie season as a reliever against the Rockies on Wednesday, although he allowed five runs on eight hits in four innings. In fact, his ERA in two relief appearances is 9.39.He made one previous start against the Padres on Aug. 21 in San Diego and took the loss, allowing seven runs on seven hits -- including homers to left-handed-hitting outfielders Travis Jankowski and Alex Dickerson -- in 5 1/3 innings.Richard absorbed the loss the previous day when he made a pair of throwing errors that led to two unearned runs -- the only runs he allowed over six innings in a 2-1 loss. In four starts since, Richard is 2-0 with a 1.46 ERA -- and the Padres are 4-0. ' ' '
