NORMAN, Okla. -- Joe Mixon is in trouble again.Oklahomas electrifying running back has been suspended for the 12th-ranked Sooners Thursday night game at Iowa State for violating team rules.The team made the announcement Tuesday night. Mixon apologized in a statement for having an altercation with parking attendants, but the team did not provide any other details.I regret that I did not respond appropriately to parking attendants and understand and accept the consequences, Mixon said.Mixon stepped onto Oklahomas campus in 2014 heralded as one of the nations top incoming freshmen, but he was suspended for an entire season after punching a woman in the face at a restaurant before the start of fall practice. Many fans wanted him kicked off the team.He came back and had a solid freshman year before blossoming this season. He ranks third nationally in all-purpose yards with 184.8 per game. Against Texas Tech, he gained 263 yards rushing and 114 yards receiving to become the first Sooner ever with 200 yards rushing and 100 receiving in a game.I thought Joe Mixon just had a game for the ages, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said after the game. Just incredible.Along the way, Mixon seemingly had put his problems behind him.Hes really matured well, Stoops said earlier this season. Hes been an excellent student. Hes never on the list for anything. He does everything you want him to do and been a great teammate. All of it. In the locker room, hes one of the more popular guys because hes a friend to everybody.Mixon has all the tools. Hes a 6-foot-1, 226-pound physical specimen with breakaway speed and the hands of a good wide receiver. He has gained 1,549 all-purpose yards this season -- 813 rushing, 363 on kickoff returns, 357 receiving and 25 on punt returns. He returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Ohio State.Even without Thursdays game, he will remain in reach of DeMarco Murrays school record of 2,171 yards set in 2008. He is already tied for 18th on the schools single-season list, and hell still have four games, including a bowl game, to set the record.With Samaje Perine already sidelined with an injury, Abdul Adams should be the teams primary ballcarrier Thursday. Adams ran for 91 yards on 13 carries in last Saturdays 56-3 win over Kansas.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP .Air Max 270 White Cheap .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift.

Fake Air Max 270 For Sale . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.ATLANTA -- The team from right down Interstate 75 is eager to take on the big boys.In some ways, this will feel almost like a home game for Mercer.The Bears are making the 87-mile trip from Macon to Atlanta on Saturday to take on Georgia Tech, their first game against a top-level school since bringing back the private universitys long-dormant football program three years ago as part of the Football Championship Subdivision.Mercer has some 40 players from Atlantas sprawling suburbs.Its very exciting, said offensive lineman Bret Niederreither, a Pennsylvania native and one of the few Mercer players from outside the state. A lot of guys on our team are from Georgia and the Atlanta area, so theyre ready to go.While the schools are less than a two-hour drive apart, this will be their first meeting since 1938.Mercer dropped its program during World War II and didnt return to the gridiron until 2013, eventually joining the Southern Conference.Now, the Bears (0-1) are taking a big step up in competition.Coach Bobby Lamb is hoping for plenty of support at 55,000-seat Bobby Dodd Stadium, the largest venue his fledgling program has played in.Obviously weve had a lot of firsts here at Mercer, Lamb said. This will be our first FBS game, and what better way to start that then in our home state and in Atlanta, where we have over 30,000 alumni.Georgia Tech (1-0) opened its season with a game much farther from home, traveling to Dublin, Ireland to take on Atlantic Coast Conference foe Boston College.The Yellow Jackets rallied for a lackluster 17-14 victory , scoring the winning touchdown in the final minute but doing little to impress coach Paul Johnson. He promised plenty of lineup changes if his team, coming off a dismal 3-9 showing a year ago, doesnt show signs of improvement.Johnson is also urging his team not to take Mercer lightly, even though the Yellow Jackets have a clear edge is speed, size and talent.Two year ago, Georgia Tech barely escaped with a 42-38 victory over Georgia Southern, which was in its transition stage moving up to FBS from the Southern Conference.Mercer, Johnson fretted, could pose a similar challenge if the Yellow Jackets are caught looking ahead.IIm sure theyre fired up and excited to play, he said.dddddddddddd We need to be, too.---Some things to watch for in Saturdays game:LINEUP CHANGES: Johnson mentioned punter, A-back and the offensive line as positions that could have new starters this week. He was especially disenchanted with fifth-year senior Ryan Rodwell, virtually guaranteeing that someone else will be handling the punting duties against Mercer. Also, freshman B-back Dedrick Mills, who scored the winning touchdown against Boston College, was suspended for the game for violating team rules. Marcus Marshall will likely get the start.GOTTA GET RUNNING: Georgia Techs triple-option offense bogged down in Week 1, managing only 119 yards rushing and an average of 2.7 yards per carry, one of the worst showings in Johnsons nine seasons at the helm. The coach will be looking to get more production out of the A-backs, who combined for only 3 yards on the ground.JUST FOR KICKS: Both teams have reliable kickers. Georgia Techs Harrison Butker booted a clutch 40-yarder against Boston College that began the fourth-quarter comeback, and all four of his kickoffs resulted in touchbacks. Mercers Cole Fisher went 3-for-3 last week in a 24-23 loss to Citadel, including a career-best 47-yarder.CLUTCH THOMAS: Mercer will have its hands full trying to defend Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas , who came through with a stirring performance in the closing minutes against Boston College. On the winning drive, he escaped a sure sack on one play, completed a 22-yard pass on fourth-and-19, and then connected on a 26-yarder when facing third-and-10.FLAG ON THE BEARS: Mercer was flagged for 10 penalties totaling 103 yards in its opener, a far cry from the team that was one of the least penalized in the nation a year ago. The Bears wont be able to afford that sort of sloppiness against Georgia Tech.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
