• Why USC’s offense struggled in first loss at Stanford

  09-09-2018 23:35 via ocregister.com
  
  A rare scoring opportunity emerged for USC in the third quarter of a 17-3 loss at Stanford on Saturday evening.
  The Trojans were set up inside the red zone. On second down, quarterback JT Daniels threw a pass toward receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in the corner of the end zone. St. Brown, draped by a cornerback, leapt to corral the football, but as he landed onto the Stanford Stadium grass, his left heel straddled the end line. He was ruled out of bounds. There was no touchdown.

• For new Rams corner Marcus Peters, perception is a line often blurred

  09-09-2018 21:18 via ocregister.com
  
  THOUSAND OAKS – “Perception,” Marcus Peters repeats back, a well-worn sense of indignation in his voice. Over three seasons in Kansas City, as he established himself as the most aggressive and unpredictable corner in the league, that word has been watered down and stripped of meaning. Still, hearing it again leaves a sour taste in his mouth.
  “Y’all throw perception on it, and it becomes reality for you guys until you get to know us,” he scoffs.

  NEW YORK — The U.S. Open final suddenly appeared to be slipping away from Novak Djokovic. He dropped three consecutive games. He was angered by a crowd roaring for his popular opponent, Juan Martin del Potro. He was, in short, out of sorts.

  DENVER – Launch angle giveth – and launch angle taketh away?
  Chris Taylor blossomed from a 4-A player into an offensive catalyst for the Dodgers last season due in large part to an overhauled swing that focused on driving the ball in the air. A swing that produced 23 home runs in his first five professional seasons was replaced by one that hit 21 home runs for the Dodgers last season.

• About last night: A review of UCLA’s 49-21 loss to Oklahoma

  09-09-2018 19:46 via ocregister.com
  
  The record looks bad, but even after a 49-21 loss to Oklahoma dropped UCLA to its first 0-2 start since 2010, there could still be reason for optimism.
  The Bruins had a true freshman starting at quarterback in his first road game ever, an offensive line that sometimes resembled a sieve, and a top-10 opponent with one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Then they scored first and kept it a 14-point game at halftime. Not too bad for 30-point underdogs.

  NORMAN, Okla. — To any offense trying to test Darnay Holmes, just watch how the sophomore cornerback responded to Oklahoma’s deep shot on the first play of last Saturday’s game.
  After Holmes broke up a deep pass intended for Marquise Brown, the UCLA cornerback took a looping path back to the line of scrimmage, bouncing as much as he was jogging. The crowd roared for a pass interference. Holmes shook a single finger in the air.

Start by removing all vigorous, upright-growing “water sprouts,” then cut back the top to just about any height you want – as low as 8-10 feet tall. You might sacrifice some fruit now, but beginning next year the avocado and citrus trees pruned this way in September and again in March each year actually produce several times more avocados than trees that are left unpruned.
