COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Barry Odom has tried to maintain optimism throughout his tumultuous first season as coach at Missouri.The Tigers (3-8, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) have struggled with everything from closing out games to scheme adjustment, as well as a string of season-ending injuries.Among the biggest bright spots was the development of the running game, especially the emergence of freshman Damarea Crockett, who eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in Saturdays 63-37 loss to Tennessee . He rushed 24 times for a season-high 225 yards and a touchdown, surpassing former quarterback Brad Smiths school record for rushing yards by a freshman.Early Sunday, Crockett was arrested for suspicion of possession of marijuana and he was suspended for the season finale Friday against Arkansas.Odom expressed frustration with the incident , but also hopes others can learn from it.Damareas done a lot of great things and hes going to have a tremendous future, Odom said. He realizes one decision obviously affects this football program and it affects him. Its the discipline of doing everything right every day. Kids make mistakes and Im going to use every one of them that I can as a teachable moment on how we can become better.With 153 carries for 1,062 yards and 11 touchdowns, Crockett is Missouris leading rusher by more than 300 yards and ranks fourth in the SEC in total rushing, above names like Georgias Nick Chubb and LSUs Leonard Fournette. Arkansas (7-4, 3-4) ranks seventh in the conference in rushing yards allowed, surrendering 216.5 yards per game.Odom said replacing Crocketts production will likely be a collective effort between Ish Witter and Nate Strong.Itll be those two, Odom said. I thought Nate did some good things the other day for sure. Still, I said right after the game, I think hes got a really bright future ahead of him. Hes got size, hes got speed. Hes getting an understanding of the tempo and pace of the game.Witter has 157 carries for 738 yards and six touchdowns, which ranks 15th in the conference. He had career highs for attempts and rushing yards against Tennessee with 31 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns.Ish did a great job the other night, Odom said. Im proud of what Ish has done this year. Hes fought through some injuries. He runs with more energy, with a little more purpose than he has. Hes done a good job.Witter attributes much of the teams success running the ball to its offensive line.Just being patient and reading the holes, Witter said. Our O-linemen theyve been doing their jobs. Theyre definitely making holes, so just figuring out how to be patient ... then see what happens.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Mickey Loomis expressed a little disappointment but zero panic over the fact that the New Orleans Saints havent been able to work out a long-term contract extension with quarterback?Drew Brees this offseason.The Saints general manager confirmed what Brees told ESPN over the weekend -- that we havent made any progress, Loomis said Wednesday. But, he added, I dont see it being a distraction.Look, lots of players play into the last year of their contract. It happened last time with us [before Brees was franchised in 2012], Loomis said. Its not our preference, but look, it happens. Nothing unusual here.Brees said the two sides havent even talked for the past three months. When Loomis was asked if he expects negotiations to resume or get shelved until after the season, he said, I dont know.I guess I would always hope that we would have a deal done, but we dont. And look, Im available. My phone is on the hook and ready to be rungg, said Loomis, who was then asked if he would like to have a deal done by the start of the regular season.ddddddddddddWell, I think Drew has said thats his deadline. So thats fine, Loomis said, referring to Brees insistence that he wont negotiate anymore once the regular season begins.Loomis acknowledged that Brees is one of the top quarterbacks in the league and is paid as such -- and we expect to do that. But its the finer points that get tricky.Guaranteed money could be the biggest issue. If Brees signs a deal that matches the going rate for elite quarterbacks, those guarantees could lock him up until he is 39 or 40 years old.But when pressed on that issue, Loomis declined to get into specifics.You know, I dont want to get into any of the details of that; thats not my style, Loomis said. So I think Ive said enough, really. ' ' '
