Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi is keeping his cards close to his chest as to who will replace Jamie Maclaren in Friday nights A-League battle against Adelaide United.In-form striker Maclaren is in Thailand on Socceroos duty and will miss the clash at Coopers Stadium after scoring in back-to-back games.Around half a dozen players could conceivably fill in for him up front, including midfielder Brett Holman, Spanish import Arana, winger Brandon Borrello, utility Dimitri Petratos, and young forwards Joey Katebian and Nick DAgostino.Aloisi has made his decision but was in no mood to give the opposition any hints as the Roar seek what would be a fourth consecutive victory.We worked on it yesterday, it seemed to work well, what were trying to do. Hopefully tomorrow it will work really well, he told reporters on Thursday.At the moment, Im not going to say who were thinking of starting with because Im sure Adelaide United will be guessing.Maclaren missed only a handful of games last season and on those occasions was replaced by either DAgostino, Henrique or Jean Carlos Solorzano.The latter two have since left Brisbane while DAgostino is yet to make an appearance for the Roar this campaign.Arana and Petratos, meanwhile, made their season debuts off the bench in last weeks 1-0 win over Melbourne City.Aloisi said it was a difficult decision as no other players in the squad share Maclarens attributes.Maccas a different sort of player to most strikers in this league, he said.He plays on shoulders and makes forward runs, so well have someone there who will (do that), whether its a No.9 who does it or a midfielder who comes from deep or a winger, because its important we have someone to stretch the team.The Roar shocked some observers last week by beating City with a counter-attacking game, which could again be effective against an Adelaide side that looks to dominate possession at home.Aloisi said just because they were adapting their game to suit specific opponents, doesnt mean theyre abandoning their brand of football.One thing youre going to get from Brisbane Roar, well try and play an attacking brand of football to win football games.That doesnt mean you have to have more possession than the opposition, it means when you do go and attack, you attack with a purpose.STATS THAT MATTER* Adelaide have won each of their last two encounters with Brisbane Roar in the A-League and will be looking for a third consecutive win against them for the first time in the league.* Brisbane Roar have earned victory on seven of their last nine trips to Adelaide (L1, D1).* Brisbane have won each of their last three games, conceding only one goal in the process. The last time they won more games in a row was a four-game streak from December to January last season. Ozzie Newsome Jersey . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars.

HOOVER, Ala. -- The trajectory of Kevin Sumlins tenure at Texas A&M has not been going in the right direction.The fifth-year coach hopes a transfer quarterback and some talented defensive linemen can get the Aggies back into the conversation as a serious threat in the Southeastern Conference.I like where we are, Sumlin said Tuesday at SEC Media Days. I like the chemistry of this football team. I like where the locker room is. I like where their mind is.Senior Trevor Knight was named the teams starting quarterback in the spring after coming to Texas A&M as a graduate transfer just a few months before. Knight previously played at Oklahoma, where he started 15 games over three seasons and threw for more than 3,000 career yards.The 6-foot-1 Knight was needed after Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray both transferred during a tumultuous stretch in December. Hes thrilled to have another chance at leading a team after an up-and-down career with the Sooners.Its been a leap of faith in a lot of ways, but looking back on it, it has been perfect, Knight said. I did get to step in and the culture at A&M, specifically the team, wrapped their arms around me and let me know that I was a part of the family.Knight should have plenty of playmakers around him: Sophomore receiver Christiian Kirk was the 2015 SEC Freshman of the Year after catching 80 passes for 1,009 yards and seven touchdowns, and Josh Reynolds (51 catches, 907 yards, five TDs) and Ricky Seals-Jones (45 catches, 560 yards, four TDs) also return.ddddddddddddOffense hasnt usually been a problem during Sumlins time in College Station, and the Aggies put up enough points last year to go 8-5 overall. Instead, its the defense that is a big reason they have an 11-13 SEC record over the past three seasons.Sumlin hopes that will change this year because Texas A&M has two of the leagues best pass rushers in junior Myles Garrett and senior Daeshon Hall.The 6-foot-5, 262-pound Garrett led the SEC with 12 1/2 sacks, 19 1/2 tackles for a loss and five forced fumbles. Sumlin said one of the best things about Garrett is hes a rarity in college football: a low-maintenance star.All he wants is maybe his headphones and to know what time practice is, when to go to class, when meetings are and when game time is and wheres the food, Sumlin said.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP-----AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
