CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Former BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall has brought a new way of doing things to Virginia, using his theories of earned, not given and there are two ways of doing things: right, or again in trying to steer the Cavaliers to the success that has been elusive for so long.The Cavaliers did not have a typical spring game, but instead a typical practice with fans watching. They did not have a starting quarterback when that was over, even with incumbent and team leader Matt Johns returning. Instead, Johns, Connor Brewer and transfer Kurt Benkert have been battling for the job ever since.The coach, who serves as his own defensive coordinator and typically runs a 3-4 scheme, has been pleased with the results so far.I love our team because of how willing they are to work and how hard theyve worked, he said as preseason camp began. Thats something theyve chosen to do, and my responsibility, as long as they keep that up, is to put them in the very best positions ... to have success.The biggest question is behind center. Johns threw 20 touchdown passes last season, but also threw 17 interceptions, and began the spring as the least familiar with the offense among the three contenders.Hopefully my experience will give me a little bit of an advantage, Johns said, but at the same time, its about earning the coaches trust and playing simple and decisive and really competing every single day.The winner will have plenty of playmaking options to look to, starting with tailback Taquan Mizzell and multipurpose speedster Olamide Zaccheaus and including receivers Andrew Levrone and Doni Dowling, both back from injuries. Virginia is deep at running back, and moving the ball doesnt seem to be a concern of the coaches.On defense, nose tackle Donte Wilkins, linebacker Micah Kiser and safety Quin Blanding give them stalwarts and signal callers at all three levels, and Blanding is comfortable that Mendenhall will have the unit ready.We love him, and were thankful for him to be here, he said. Were just ready to win games.Some things to watch with Virginia this season:CHAPTER ONEThe Mendenhall era starts with a game against very talented Richmond of the Championship Subdivision, and rarely has an opener meant more. Sure, the Spiders are a lower-level opponent, but the Cavaliers have had their hands full with Richmond a few times in recent seasons, and they travel in Week Two to high-powered Oregon. Getting off to a good start and some positive initial reinforcement could set a tone for the early going.THE QBJohns has the respect of his teammates, but neither the arm strength nor the ability to keep plays alive with his feet that Benkert has shown. Benkert also arrived after spring practice already more familiar with the teams offense, having run it at East Carolina.KEY GAMESThe Cavaliers would love for games later in the season to become more important because of bowl ramifications, but until that happens, games at Connecticut on Sept. 17, at recent nemesis Duke on Oct. 1 and the regular-season finale at Virginia Tech are the one fans will most hope show a new day is dawning for Virginia. The Hokies have won the last 12 meetings in the series.PREDICTIONMendenhall was pleasantly surprised with the talent available when he got to Virginia, and the players have universally professed total belief in the coach and his staff. That kind of mindset goes a long way, especially in crunch time of tight games, and with a non-league schedule not nearly as daunting as in recent years, the Cavaliers should expect to get six wins and their first bowl game in five seasons.---Online:The APs college football page: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjrClearance Nike Shoes From China .

And it was no cheap home run. It traveled some 469 feet and hit the bottom of the giant video board in center field.That ball was absolutely annihilated today, Padres manager Andy Green said.It was his sixth home run against Arizona.Schimpfs 20 home runs are third-most by a Padres rookie behind Nate Colberts 24 in 1969 and Jedd Gyorkos 23 in 2013.

Hes got big power right-center field. That was the talk when I got here before his shoulder surgery, he really drove the ball to right-center a lot in the minor leagues. So hes starting to get comfortable and just stayed on that pitch and rode it out of here. Thats very, very impressive for a shortstop of his stature to be able to go the opposite way.Randall Delgado (5-2) pitched an inning of relief to get the victory. Patrick Corbin threw 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief before Daniel Hudson came on to get Wil Myers to pop out to first for his fifth save. Corbins performance was the latest in a series of strong efforts after he was demoted to the bullpen.He just feels like his stuff is back to where it was before (Tommy John) surgery, Hale said. He got tremendous life up to 96 today. His breaking ball, you saw Myers take the swing where he spun around. Its really good to finish this way. Hell fit right into our rotation thee top two or three spots there next year.ddddddddddddJackson (5-7) gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings to take the loss.The crowd for the matchup between the bottom two teams in the NL West was announced at 42,651, the second-largest of the season at home for the Diamondbacks.

The Padres tied it 3-3 in the fourth. Manuel Margot doubled in a run and scored on Schimpfs two-run home run.Arizona regained the lead in the sixth.
