EAST RUTHERFORD, N.
Rubinho Youth Jersey .J. -- Tom Coughlin doesnt have many options at halfback for the winless New York Giants. The choice
now is rookie Michael Cox, and thats it. Veteran Brandon Jacobs, who ignited the
running game for the first time this season in a 27-21 loss to the Chicago Bears
on Thursday night, has a tweaked left hamstring. He did not practice on Monday
as the Giants (0-6) started work for next Monday nights game against the
Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs insists he will play. Cox said he is ready.
David Wilson and DaRel Scott are major question marks. Wilson, the No. 1 back to
start the season, was in California on Monday having a troublesome neck injury
examined. Scott has a bad hamstring injury and appears to be out for Minnesota.
Things were so bad before last week that backup linebacker Allen Bradford ran a
few plays as a halfback with the scout team. Coughlin joked Monday when asked if
he was concerned about his halfback situation. "What do you mean?" he said. "We
had one. Were all set." Besides Cox, Coughlin also has fullback John Conner in
the backfield. Sitting in front of his locker, Jacobs smiled when asked about
his hamstring, which was hurt on a night he carried 22 times for 106 yards. It
was the first individual 100-yard rushing effort by a Giant this season, and
Jacobs first 100-yard game since 2010. It came on a night New York ran for a
season-high 123 yards. "Im not missing any game," Jacobs said. "Straight up,
thats all there is in a nutshell. I am not counting on being down." Jacobs said
the trainers advised him not to practice Monday and he has been told his injury
is day to day. The 31-year-old Jacobs surprised a lot of people with his
performance. He ran hard. He had great second effort. He also showed he could
get into the end zone, twice carrying Bears defenders to pay dirt. "Its not
about proving to everybody," said Jacobs, who barely played after signing with
San Francisco as a free agent last season. "I dont care to prove to anybody. All
I need to do is show the guys in this locker room and the coaching staff what I
have to do." On the other hand, Cox has to prove himself. The seventh-round
draft pick is still trying to learn the offence. "Hes young," Coughlin said.
"Its sophisticated and complex the things that are thrown at him, particularly
in the protection area, so youve got to be careful." The bottom line is the
Giants dont want Eli Manning getting hurt because Cox missed a blocking
assignment. "I feel like Im ready to go, but obviously Im just working on
everything, pass protection, just watching more film and the whole offence,
everything," Cox said. Centre Jim Cordle said the offensive line got a chance to
work with Cox on Monday. Cordle said the 24-year-old who has yet to carry the
ball in the regular season is a fast, physical back. "He is talented, but I am
sure Brandon will play," Cordle said. "You saw how much he loves playing and how
much he wants to be here. If those are the two guys, well go with them." Scott
also injured his hamstring against the Bears. He had a hard time walking up
steps after watching practice Monday. The biggest concern is Wilson, the Giants
first-round draft pick last year. He hurt his neck getting tackled against
Philadelphia on Oct. 6. He briefly lost feeling but walked off the field. There
is some concern he has had a narrowing of his spinal column, and that was being
looked at in California. Wilson was optimistic about his condition on Friday.
Coughlin said Wilson overcame a similar injury in college. The Giants were not
certain whether they would have an update on Wilsons injury on Monday. The
halfback situation should improve after the eighth game, when halfback
Andre Brown is eligible to come off injured reserve. He broke his left leg for
the second time in less than a year in the preseason finale against New England.

Schalke.Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Isaiah McKenzie returned the games
opening kickoff for a touchdown and scored on a punt return as the 17th-ranked
Georgia Bulldogs blasted the Kentucky Wildcats 63-31 on Saturday. Hutson Mason
threw a career-high four touchdown passes despite not playing one snap in the
fourth quarter for Georgia (7-2, 5-2 SEC), which rebounded from last weeks 38-20
loss to Florida. Mason was 13-of-16 for 174 yards, and Nick Chubb rushed for 170
yards and a touchdown in the bounce-back win. Patrick Towles totaled 139 yards
with a touchdown pass and ran for another score for the Wildcats (5-5, 2-5), who
suffered their fourth straight loss. Towles completed 16-of-31 passes with one
interception and added 60 yards on the ground. The Bulldogs got off to a great
start in all three phases. McKenzie began the game by sprinting 90 yards to the
end zone, the Georgia defense forced a three-and-out and Chris Conley caught a
15-yard touchdown pass to cap the first drive. After another brief Kentucky
possession, Chubb scored on an 18-yard run with 4:57 left in the first quarter.
The Wildcats battled back and outscored the Bulldogs 24-14 in the second
quarter. Braylon Heard ran for a 3-yard touchdown and Auustin MacGinnis kicked a
38- yard field goal after Georgia fumbled a short kick.
Marco Storari Jersey. Stanley Williams quickly answered Masons 23-yard touchdown pass off play action to Malcolm
Mitchell with a 56-yard TD run. The Bulldogs went up 35-17 when Conley hauled in
a 4-yard pass from Mason on a fade route, but two defensive penalties on the
next Kentucky drive led to Towles scoring on a quarterback sneak with 16 seconds
remaining before halftime. However, things fell apart for Kentucky in the third
quarter. Towles was picked off by Corey Moore on the first play from scrimmage.
The Bulldogs capitalized on the miscue as four Chubb runs preceded Jeb
Blazevichs 10-yard touchdown grab. After a three-and-out by the Wildcats,
McKenzie returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown. Sony Michel scored on a
23-yard run later in the third, and Brice Ramsey threw an eight-yard touchdown
pass to Blazevich in the fourth. Towles connected with Javess Blue for a
nine-yard touchdown with 3:22 to play. Game Notes Georgia has won five straight
games against Kentucky and each of the last four meetings in Lexington ...
Michel had 84 yards on 16 carries ... Williams rushed 10 times for 100 yards.
