Fairley was a fierce pass rusher and the 13th overall pick by the Detroit Lions while Clayton, a coaches' favorite, went to the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round. Key backup Mike Blanc is also gone. Whitaker and Carter seem virtual locks to start for the Tigers against Utah State on Sept. 3, even though they have a combined 13 tackles.

Gone are the drama and distractions along with the quarterback and coach after a 5-2 start disintegrated into a 6-10 collapse in 2010. That led to the decision to release Young three weeks before the team parted with Fisher, the only head coach this franchise had known since his promotion in November 1994 while the team was still the Houston Oilers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Matt Hasselbeck is a little lost in translation right now. The 12-year veteran has been on the field for the Tennessee Titans just over a week, and offensive coordinator Chris Palmer says Hasselbeck is struggling. Not with throwing the ball or handing off, but with the words as he calls plays after spending so much time in one system. Palmer compares the challenge to speaking English for a lifetime only to be dropped off in Spain and being forced to speak Spanish. Palmer says it's |

SEATTLE (AP) - The No. 10 that for so long was attached to the name Jake Locker at Washington now belongs to freshman linebacker John Timu. While Locker is now gone to the NFL and the Tennessee Titans, Washington began fall practice on Monday on a definite uptick following its late season run a year ago that was capped with a 19-7 win over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl. Coach Steve Sarkisian understands the biggest questions involve how the Huskies will replace Locker. It will likely be sophomore Keith Pr |
