Captain Alex Brosque has credited Sydney FCs stellar recruitment drive for the clubs eye-catching form to start the A-League season.The Sky Blues and Melbourne City have emerged as early frontrunners for this seasons title after impressing with back-to-back victories over the opening fortnight.And Brosque, who has scored goals coming off the bench in both games, said it was the clubs strong off-season that had propelled the team to its best ever start to a campaign.Most teams are struggling early because of the new faces they have, he said.(But) weve got Josh Brillante, Michael Zullo, Alex Wilkinson, Danny Vukovic, Bobo - half our team thats been starting these first few games, are new players.The quality in the players weve brought in have been a huge difference. The competition for places, the depth that we have at the moment, and just the good run that we had in pre-season... everyone made sure that when round one came, we were ready to go. Thats the reason why weve started so well.While Sydney FC have rocketed to the top of the ladder with twin thrashings of Western Sydney and Central Coast, Melbourne City also announced themselves as championship contenders with an emphatic derby win over Melbourne Victory.Brosque said the Tim Cahill-led City were always going to be a heavyweight.We knew Melbourne City were going to have the firepower. Theyve started in that fashion. They look good, theyre definitely going to be up there at the end of the season, he said.Theyll be a team thats going to be hard to beat.The 33-year-old also said coach Graham Arnold moved quickly to give his team a reality check on Monday, pointing out how his team lost their way after an unbeaten opening five weeks last season.But he still urged his teammates to embrace the tag of title favourites early in the campaign.We just had a meeting and Arnies brought all our heads in very quickly. He doesnt want us getting carried away with it and rightly so, Brosque said.Its a good start but if we look at last season as well, we started the first four, five games undefeated and it didnt end too well.This season we did make a bit of noise, saying we wanted to win all trophies. It should be that way. Sydney FC has to be a club that goes into every competition wanting to win it and I think the players really embrace that this year. Air Jordan 1 Outlet Sale .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Derek Mason had Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin talk to his football team about not being afraid of success and how to handle the roller-coaster of emotions during a game.The Commodores showed Saturday night they listened very well.Ralph Webb ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns, and Vanderbilt scored 31 straight points in beating Mississippi 38-17 Saturday night to snap a three-game skid to the Rebels.With the win, Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) assured Mason his best record yet in his third season. The Commodores now need a win in their regular season finale to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. Their APR is so good that five wins could be enough, winning a sixth game would be even better.Listen thats exactly what were going to do, Mason said. Were going to line ourselves up and try to get ourselves ready to go play one more game because thats what were guaranteed. And you know what? Were looking forward to this one.Kyle Shurmur threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns, and the Commodores also had three sacks. Linebacker Zach Cunningham, the SECs leading tackler, recovered a fumble.Vanderbilt was the first SEC opponent that Mississippi played this season that hadnt been ranked, and the Commodores snapped the Rebels two-game win streak. Now the Rebels (5-6, 2-5) need a win in the Egg Bowl to extend its bowl streak.Freshman Shea Patterson, so thrilling in rallying the Rebels to an upset at Texas A&M last week , struggled against Masons defense. Ole Miss had to settle for a field goal on the opening drive, and Patterson added TD passes to Akeem Judd and Evan Engram.The Rebels were held to a season-low in points, and Jason Pellerin replaced Patterson for the final drive. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said they got beat on Shurmurs 67-yard pass to Trent Sherfield -- Vandys longest offensive play this season -- that set up the Commodores first TD.And we never found the rhythm again offensively, Freeze said. I dont know how many drops we had toniight.dddddddddddd. It had to be approaching 10 to 12, and those are critical.The key play came within the opening minute of the third quarter and cost the Rebels their leading tackler, linebacker DeMarquis Gates, for a targeting even though a flag wasnt thrown.The penalty was announced after the replay booth reviewed what appeared to be a fumble by Vanderbilts Donovan Tennyson off a double reverse recovered by Ole Miss defensive back Tony Conner whose foot was out of bounds when he picked up the ball.If was big, Freeze said. Were thin at that spot anyway, and it certainly hurt.Vanderbilt finished off a 90-yard drive with Webbs second TD, an 11-yard run, and a 21-10 lead.THE TAKEAWAYMississippi: Patterson looked so dazzling in his debut at Texas A&M. But Mason defended the likes of Marcus Mariota while coordinator at Stanford, and that game gave Mason plenty to study of Patterson in the Ole Miss offense. At least the Rebels will be at home trying to become bowl eligible for a fifth straight season, something they havent done since 15 straight bowls between 1957 and 1971.Vanderbilt: Ole Miss first TD came off a muffed punt by Darrius Sims in the first quarter, the kind of mistake that has often soured the Commodores fortunes. This time, they shook off the mistake with their most points against an SEC opponent in Masons three seasons.OVERTURNED BY REVIEWVandy got help from another review. A Vandy defender immediately waived incomplete on a Patterson pass to Damoreea Stringfellow on fourth-and-1 at the Vandy 28. Officials spotted the ball, then the replay booth initiated a review that overturned the completion. The Commodores drove 72 yards for the go-ahead TD and never trailed again.UP NEXTMississippi hosts Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.Vanderbilt hosts in-state rival Tennessee.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
