ATHENS, Ga. -- The honeymoon is over for Kirby Smart.Georgias rookie coach is dealing with his first defeat, a blowout at the hands of Mississippi, and things dont get any easier this week when No. 11 Tennessee visits Sanford Stadium for a Southeastern Conference game that has become a virtual must-win if the Bulldogs want to be a serious contender in the East Division.Weve always said around here, `Humility is a week away, said Smart, who certainly sounded more humble on Monday than he had at previous news conferences. When you talk about the SEC, you never get a chance to rest.Smart and the Bulldogs got a sampling of that last week in Oxford, where they fell behind 31-0 at halftime and 45-0 in the third quarter before a couple of meaningless touchdowns that did little to ease the sting of a 45-14 rout.Georgia (3-1, 1-1 SEC) barely held its place in The Associated Press rankings, plunging 13 spots to 25th.While Smart is always eager for his players to turn their attention to the next opponent, he doesnt want them to totally put aside the last game. There were myriad mistakes that need correcting, from about 15 missed tackles to at least five dropped passes, a couple of which mightve changed the course of the game.I dont think you ever forget it, Smart said, before adding, When youre playing a team like Tennessee, you better get over it quick.Georgias most immediate concern is the health of star running back Nick Chubb, who sustained a sprained left ankle in the first half and didnt return.Smart said its too soon to determine if Chubb will be able to play against the Volunteers (4-0, 1-0), who are riding high after a 35-point second half rallied them to a 38-28 victory over No. 23 Florida.Were obviously hopeful hell be able to do something, but we wont know more until later in the week, Smart said.If Chubb cant go, the Bulldogs still have plenty of options at tailback, from veterans Sony Michel and Brendan Douglas to freshmen Elijah Holyfield and Brian Herrien.Theres always a lot of good running backs at Georgia, so I think well be fine, Douglas said.A bigger issue for Georgia is the guys up front.Since an impressive showing in the season-opening win over North Carolina, the backs have struggled to find a lot of running room. The Bulldogs managed only 167 yards rushing against FCS school Nicholls State, and they were held to 101 by Missouri.The Bulldogs did have 230 yards on the ground against Ole Miss, but most of it came after the Rebels had built a commanding lead and were basically trying to avoid big plays. Still, Smart was encouraged by the way his linemen blocked for the run.We actually improved in that area, he said. It was all the other areas that imploded on us.Indeed, freshman quarterback Jacob Eason completed just 16 of 36 passes for 137 yards and had one interception returned for a touchdown. It didnt help that he faced heavy pressure most of the game, leading to three sacks, or that his receivers dropped all those passes.Smart also was miffed at the way his defense played. The Rebels piled up 510 yards on offense, not exactly the sort of performance he was used to seeing in his previous job as Nick Sabans defensive coordinator at Alabama.Right now, were not a really good tackling defense, Smart said. The offenses we play, they get explosive plays on everybody. Its more about limiting those. How do I give up less? If we tackle better and you take nine of the 15 missed tackles away, then you take away about seven big plays.Tennessee will be playing its first true road game of the year, its only trip outside of Neyland Stadium being a neutral-site contest at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Volunteers have a shot at sweeping Florida and Georgia, the teams expected to be their toughest challengers in the East, which would be a commanding position even this early in the season.This will be our toughest challenge to date, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Monday. They have our attention. They have our respect.Game notes Jones said he expects LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) to play Saturday but considers LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. questionable to doubtful. Kirkland has missed two games with a high ankle sprain.---AP Sports Writer Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tennessee contributed to this report.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Hydro Flask Nz . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Robby Anderson remembers leaning over his birthday cake, closing his eyes and making a wish.More than anything, the wide receiver just wanted to play football again. So, he blew out the candles on May 9, 2015, celebrated his 22nd birthday and hoped for good news.I knew football would never be over, said Anderson, who made a strong claim for a roster spot on the Jets with six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown in New Yorks 22-18 loss to Washington last Friday night.I never gave up on it.It wasnt easy, though.After a standout season as a redshirt sophomore at Temple University with 44 catches for 791 yards and nine touchdowns, Anderson was ruled academically ineligible. He was forced to sit out a year and needed to get his grades up, but until then, football was out.It was just a lack of me applying myself, he said. I was young. I was immature. I wasnt really too into school at the time and I really made some mistakes. I paid for those mistakes.Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Anderson has had NFL dreams for as far back as he can remember, and they seemed to be a possibility as he starred as a receiver and defensive back for Plantation High School in Florida.After redshirting as a freshman at Temple, Anderson played in six games in 2012, mostly on special teams. He was working with the second-team defense as a cornerback in 2013, but quit in the spring. Anderson reconsidered his decision and asked Temple coach Matt Rhule if he could come back.Rhule allowed Anderson to return -- as a non-scholarship athlete and as a wide receiver. Anderson thrived, working his way to the starting offense by the fifth game. He went on to have a big year, but then got hit with the ruling that he was academically ineligible for the 2014 season and his football career was suddenly uncertain.Those thoughts went through my mind, but I have always believed in God and I knew that he delivers, no matter what, Anderson said. Sometimes it doesnt happen exactly when you want, but every lesson is a blessing. I knew that I had to be patient and I had to overcome it and go through some things and earn it back.Anderson took summer classes and earned his associate degree, applying himself in the classroom while waiting to hear about his athletic future. He did so well, hes just six classes away from getting his degree in criminal justice.Im almost there, he said with a big smile.Two days after Anderson made that birthday wish, Rhule called himm to let him know that he would be eligible to play again for the football team.ddddddddddddIt was a relief, Anderson said, shaking his head. It was a blessing that I was able to go back and put myself in this position.He was a force for the Owls, finishing with 70 catches for 939 yards -- both ranking second on the schools single-season list -- and seven touchdown catches.Anderson, selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game, went undrafted in April, but the Jets signed him as a free agent shortly after the draft was completed. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver has been solid throughout the offseason and training camp, impressing with his speed and ability to get up in the air to snatch passes.Hes just got soft hands, he brings everything in, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. Hes got a good, little swagger to him that I hadnt really seen that you see in games come out a little bit. And hes raw. He just hasnt played a lot of receiver.Anderson is making up for lost time, though. He looked every bit a seasoned wide receiver when he outleaped a defender along the sideline, then scooted out of a would-be tackle for a 42-yard touchdown against the Redskins.He showed up and made some catches, said coach Todd Bowles, who also played at Temple. But again, its everything that he has to do, whether he runs the right route, depth and everything else is what we have to look at.Trying to make the roster will be a tough task with three spots at the positon set with Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Quincy Enunwa. Veterans Kenbrell Thompkins, Jeremy Ross and Kyle Williams are competing with Anderson and fellow impressive rookies Jalin Marshall, Charone Peake and Chandler Worthy for three, maybe four spots.After all the twists and turns to get to this point, though, Anderson is intent on sticking around.I just hope that throughout my NFL career, and hopefully I have a long NFL career, that people can look at my journey and just be inspired by it, he said.Sometimes you go through things, you make mistakes and things dont work out the way you want them to. If you have a dream, though, you just cant ever give up on it because you really can control your destiny if you work hard and do what it takes. You cant ever give up.You can really lose it all, but you can get it back.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
