RENTON, Wash. -- Trevone Boykin was inundated with congratulatory messages in the hours after making his regular-season debut as an NFL quarterback.For his first NFL experience stepping in for the Seattle Seahawks after Russell Wilson was injured last Sunday. For throwing his first NFL touchdown on a fourth-quarter pass to Doug Baldwin.Of all the congratulations sent to Boykin, though, one message in particular stood out. It came from Steve Faber, the father of Abby Faber. And if Abbys name doesnt sound familiar, thats understandable.But she is special to Boykin.It was probably one of the texts I will remember more than anything, Boykin said Wednesday.Abby Faber is a 7-year-old with cerebral palsy who first met Boykin at the 50-yard line in Ames, Iowa last October . When TCU played at Iowa State last year, Faber was an honorary captain and was wearing a Cyclones jersey for the pregame coin toss. Boykin, the TCU quarterback, leaned down toward the girl in her wheelchair and asked, Whats your name? Fort Worth Star-Telegram photographer Paul Moseley took a touching picture of the two that went viral.Even though they were there as Iowa State fans, the Faber family has remained connected to TCU. They were in Fort Worth, Texas, two weeks ago when the Horned Frogs played the Cyclones and Abby had a chance to reconnect with Boykin via FaceTime.So it stuck with Boykin when the message came up from the Fabers on Sunday congratulating Boykin on completing 7 of 9 passes for 65 yards in the 37-18 win over San Francisco and for what hes accomplished in becoming an NFL quarterback.It hit home hard just because seeing what she goes through and they support me and everything, Boykin said. Its fun. I love playing the game. I love doing this. I wouldnt change it for a world.Boykin could find himself in a bigger spotlight come Sunday when the Seahawks play at the New York Jets. Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that hes moving forward with the idea that Wilson will be able to play despite spraining the MCL in his left knee during the third quarter last week.Still, there is a real possibility that Boykin will get significant playing time against the Jets.I went into practice last week just like Ill go into practice this week expecting to play. If not, Ill be ready, Boykin said.Backup quarterback was a major question mark for Seattle during training camp. The Seahawks had the luxury of an experienced veteran in Tarvaris Jackson playing behind Wilson the past three seasons. But Carroll wanted someone who was more of a running threat, similar to Wilson. He didnt want to have to adjust the offense if the backup came in.Boykin fit the bill, signing with Seattle as an undrafted free agent after sliding out of the draft in part because of his arrest in San Antonio in the days before the Alamo Bowl. It turned out to be another coup for Seattle. Boykin impressed enough throughout training camp and the preseason that Seattle felt comfortable going with the rookie instead of having a veteran backup.We thought it was a guy who could do what hes doing. I was kind of open to it from the start. I really wanted this to happen. I really wanted him to be the guy. I really wanted to get a backup quarterback that could keep us in the same system so we could really utilize the same run game principles as well as the passing style, Carroll said. He looked like a perfect opportunity there.Boykin made one mistake in his regular-season debut, throwing a fourth-quarter interception, but otherwise looked like a capable option if Wilson isnt available.Most of the motivation came from Russ, Boykin said. He came in his rookie year and like he said, he just tried to be the best him he can be. Thats how Im trying to do (it) is be the best me I can be and learn from him.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNike Vapormax Flyknit Wholesale . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.

And it hopes to do so using the style of power offense Alabama has used less and less of in recent years.From a defensive point of view, its kind of a whole new preparation, Bielema said about Alabama. In recruiting, we used to compete with them quite a bit in pro-style offense settings and they dont look like that now. Alabamas in the Spread market now.Regardless of the style of offense used by the Crimson Tide these days, the results have remained constant during the Saban era.This season is no different, and Alabamas 17-game winning streak is currently the longest in the nation and the second longest under Saban -- trailing only a 19-game stretch over the 2009-10 seasons. Its a streak that will be put to the test over the next three weeks with games against No. 9 Tennessee and No. 8 Texas A&M on deck, one that begins with the Razorbacks.Arkansas enters the game with the SECs most efficient quarterback in junior Austin Allen, but it has stayed true to Bielemas traditional offensive approach -- foregoing the hurry-up style that has taken over much of college football.Its a welcomed breather on defense for Alabama defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson.Im glad its not fast ball because as a defensive lineman, you like the slower teams so you get time to recover and just play old football, just like the old days, Tomlinson said.Some other things to watch as Arkansas tries to end its nine-game losing streak to the mighty Crimson Tide:STOPPING HURTS: The Razorbacks have struggled in defending the running of quarterbacks like Texas A&Ms Trevor Knight.dddddddddddd Now, they face freshman Jalen Hurts , the Tides No. 2 rusher with 276 yards and three touchdowns. Bielema expects offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to continue using Hurts running ability. As we all know, Lane is a very creative, very good play caller, and I think theyre using his strengths as good as anybody Ive witnessed this year on film, the Razorbacks coach said. Hes a very talented player thats getting used in all the right ways, and hes got some good players around him.RAGNOWS STATUS: Arkansas starting center Frank Ragnow missed much of practice this week after flying home to Minnesota last weekend following the death of his father. However, the junior returned to the Razorbacks on Thursday night and is likely to play on Saturday night.HEALTHY AGAIN: It appears likely that Alabama will have tailback Damien Harris and wide receiver ArDarius Stewart back. Harris, the leading rusher, was limited against Kentucky with a sprained right ankle. Stewart has missed the past two games with a knee injury after totaling 203 receiving yards in the first two games. He returned to practice this week.HATCHERS HAMMY: Arkansas wide receiver Keon Hatcher missed last weeks win over Alcorn State with a hamstring injury, but Bielema is hopeful the senior will be able to return on Saturday. Hatcher missed most of last season with a broken foot, but hes returned to form this season -- with 14 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns in four games.N-O-T AGAIN: Alabama has already scored seven non-offensive touchdowns in five games, and that knack proved huge in the Tides only other road game, against Mississippi. Thats two on interception returns, three on fumble returns and two on punt returns. Safety Eddie Jackson has returned a punt and an interception all the way.---AP Sports Writer John Zenor in Tuscaloosa, Ala., contributed to this report. ' ' '
