Los Angeles quarterback Jared Goff makes his highly anticipated debut when the Rams host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at the Los Angeles Coliseum.The Rams fan base has not-so-patiently awaited this moment, but the time has come for the No. 1 pick in this springs NFL draft out of the University of California.I felt like this was the best time to go ahead and turn the keys over to Jared, Los Angeles coach Jeff Fisher said. Were excited for him. He had a good day (at practice). Hes into the plan, hes really excited.The position is not easy to play, as weve seen around the league. A lot of good quarterbacks took their lumps last weekend, but we got confidence in him, as the offense does. Well get him prepared to play.Goff replaces Case Keenum, who has not played well for most of the season as the offense scored 10 points or fewer in five games. The Rams (4-5) were held without an offensive touchdown for the third time this season in a 9-6 victory over the Jets in New York last week.Los Angeles ranks last in scoring at 15.4 points per game and the Keenum-led offense is 31st in total offense with an average of 308 yards.Goff makes his debut at home before the Rams play at New Orleans and at New England in Weeks 12 and 13.The Dolphins (5-4) made Southern California their home this week instead of flying back and forth across the country after defeating the San Diego Chargers 31-24. Miami practiced in north San Diego County.The Rams halted a four-game losing streak by defeating the Jets while the Dolphins are winners of four straight.Miamis offense is finally hitting on all cylinders under first-year head coach Adam Gase but faces a tough challenge from the Los Angeles defense. The Gregg Williams-led unit ranks seventh in the NFL in total yards allowed at 327 per contest and 10th in points allowed at 19.2.Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has played some of the best football of his career during the winning streak and has thrown 109 consecutive passes without an interception. The former Texas A&M star also has four touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 103.6 passer rating during the run. Tannehills success has his coach raving about him.Said Gase: The guy (Tannehill) is a beast. He just stands back there. There was one of them he threw, I thought he was pressured a little bit, and he got rid of the ball and he comes in and he says, I have to stay in there. He just has some kind of toughness where he just is going to stand in there. He takes a shot. He takes care of his body and hes able to bounce back up.At the start of the 2016 season, no one except perhaps Dolphins running back Jay Ajayis family members believed hed be ranked sixth in the NFL in rushing and outgaining Rams running back Todd Gurley by 210 yards.Ajayi averages 5.7 yards per carrry, good for 725 yards this season. Gurleys average is 3.1 yards. The going could be tough for Ajayi this week with left tackle (wrist) out and center Mike Puncey (hip) doubtful. Gurler has been bothered by a thigh injury.While Ajayi has been a godsend to a Dolphins offense that lost Arian Foster to injury, then retirement, Gurley and the Rams rushing attack has been a disappointment to the team and Rams fans alike.There may be hope for Gurley this week, though. The Dolphins are 30th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed at 128.8 per contest and with a rookie quarterback getting his first NFL start, the Rams hope Gurley can take advantage.

MLB Jerseys 2020 . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. NEW YORK -- Boston Colleges Jerome Robinson could not miss in the first half and Richmond trailed by eight.

ShawnDre Jones added 17 points, and Julius Johnson scored all 12 of his points after halftime for the Spiders.While Robinson was facing an improved defense, Cline picked it up after halftime.

They misfired on 22 of 30 shots in the second half.Im more concerned with the possessions, Boston College coach Jim Christian said. I wanted to play right. We didnt play right last night. We didnt move the ball well. We moved the ball well tonight.The way we played tonight was so much better than yesterday in terms of how we played the game. We just got to get some guys a little bit more confident and we have to make shots.dddddddddddd We took good shots tonight, we just didnt make them, Christian said.Richmond scored the first nine points of the second half and took a one-point lead on a basket by Fore with 15:26 left. The Spiders surged ahead to a 47-39 lead on consecutive 3-pointers by Johnson and Jones around the nine-minute mark.Richmond continued pulling away and sealed it when DeMonte Buckingham blocked Robinsons layup attempt and started a fast break. Khwan Fore finished the break with a layup, giving the Spiders a 61-49 lead with about 90 seconds remaining.BIG PICTURE:Boston College: What happens when Jerome Robinson does not touch the ball, is getting a break, or not scoring?

He did not get the ball on subsequent possessions and was on the bench for a few minutes as the Spiders scored 10 unanswered points. Robinson made 10 of 20 shots. The rest of the Eagles were a combined 10 of 36.Richmond: The Spiders seem to be as good as T.J. Cline is going at any given moment. He was 4 of 10 in the first half when Richmond trailed by eight.
