we came here to accomplish

West Coast defender Tom Barrass is on edge - and the Eagles are reaping the benefits.Barrass has been a shining light for the Eagles this season, with the 20-year-old announcing himself as a star in the making with some strong displays in defence.The 194cm backmans contested marking has added further strength to West Coasts backline, and his solid form has kept 2014 club champion Eric Mackenzie out of the side for much of the second half of the season.Fellow defender Will Schofield said it didnt take him long to realise that Barrass was going to thrive in AFL ranks.Ive been working really tightly with Tommy for a couple of years now. He hasnt exceeded my expectations, Schofield said of Barrass, who was taken with pick No.43 in the 2013 national draft.Hes an extremely talented guy. Physically hes a big unit. Jumps high. Marks the ball at its highest points. He can match it with most blokes his size.For Tommy, it was just about getting that experience and confidence in the way he plays.Hes keeping Ezy out of the team at the moment. Hes under pressure every week, but I think hes probably playing better because hes on the edge.Barrass will receive another stern test in defence when he lines up in Saturdays clash with GWS at Spotless Stadium.The Giants are the second highest scoring team in the competition.Jeremy Cameron has led the way this year with 44 goals, while Toby Greene (36), Steve Johnson (35), Rory Lobb (21), and Jonathon Patton (21) have also been important.The match will play a huge part in deciding the make-up of the top four.West Coast currently sit sixth with a 13-6 record, while fourth-placed GWS (14-5) are just percentage adrift of second spot. Frederik Andersen Jersey . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. Devin Shore Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester. https://www.cheapducks.com/1007c-josh-manson-jersey-ducks.html . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season. Cam Fowler Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Jakob Silfverberg Jersey . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Mark Walton saved Miami against Florida Atlantic last year.He was even better in the rematch.Walton rushed for career highs of 155 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 25 Miami shook off a slow start to beat Florida Atlantic 38-10 on Saturday night.He ran for three touchdowns against FAU a year ago, and this time became the sixth Miami back in program history to rush for four in a game.Im not a stats guy, Walton said. Its great for me. Great for me to be the sixth or whatever. Im not big on stats. I just go out there and play and my ability showed tonight.Walton scored on runs of 7, 3, 16 and 30 yards. He was suspended for much of the offseason after a drunken-driving arrest, a charge that was dropped, and said hes had a chip on his shoulder since returning.He just plays with a lot of passion and heart, said Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya, who completed 17 of 31 passes for 191 yards for the Hurricanes and was picked off twice. He shows up every day and gets after it.Miami (2-0) set a school record with 108 points in the seasons first two games, breaking the previous mark of 104 set in 1998 and matched in 2002.I just want to score enough to win, truthfully, said Miami coach Mark Richt, who is the 10th coach to win his first two games on the Hurricane sideline. I like when theres not a whole lot of drama.Greg Howell rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown for FAU (1-1). Jason Driskel completed 18 of 36 passes for 167 yards for the Owls, who punted on their first seven possessions. Kalib Woods caught nine balls for 121 yards.We came here to win. We didnt accomplish the mission we came here to accomplish, FAU coach Charlie Partridge said. The good news is these are all very fixable things for a very young football team -- a very young, talented football team.Joe Yearby ran for 121 yards and a score for the Hurricanes. Miami ooutgained FAU 470-214, and forced nine punts for the second consecutive game.ddddddddddddI thought our defense played spectacular, Richt said. Very obvious how great they played. They would not let it get interesting at all.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida Atlantic: The Owls had chances early, getting into Miami territory five times in the first half but only coming away with three points. Driskel was poised against Miamis rush, but his offensive line failed him -- and Howell, who managed only 16 yards on nine first-half carries. The FAU defensive front caused Miamis experienced offensive line plenty of problems, a good sign for the Owls.Miami: The Hurricanes regressed in the first half, plagued again by the mistakes that doomed them in past seasons. There were drops, a missed field goal for the second straight week and silly penalties -- roughing the punter most egregious among them. Kaaya threw multiple interceptions for the first time since Game 6 of his freshman season, though he got clobbered on one. But Miami found what worked in the second half.POLL IMPLICATIONSMiami might not be a lock to stay in the AP Top 25. Floridas big win over Kentucky could get the Gators back in the ranking, though No. 22 Oklahoma States loss -- the Cowboys fell to Central Michigan on the last play of the game, though officials later said the winning score should not have counted -- may be enough to keep the Hurricanes ranked.UP NEXTFAU: The Owls visit Kansas State next Saturday. Its the only time FAU leaves Florida in the first six weeks of this season.Miami: A dangerous game awaits at Appalachian State next Saturday. The Mountaineers are 18-3 in their last 21 games, and the biggest crowd in the history of Kidd Brewer Stadium is expected. ' ' '
