FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Tre Mason rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns as No. 8 Auburn earned their first-year coach a 35-17 win in his return to Arkansas. Mason scored on runs of 9, 4 and 5 and 12 yards as the Tigers (8-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) won their fifth in a row in Malzahns first game in Fayetteville since leaving the Razorbacks as an assistant following the 2006 season. Auburns Nick Marshall, returning from a shoulder injury, accounted for 177 yards of total offence, including an 88-yard touchdown throw to Sammie Coates. Jonathan Williams had 104 yards rushing and Alex Collins added 92 on the ground for Arkansas (3-6, 0-5), which has now lost six in a row. Its the longest losing streak for the Razorbacks since a seven-game stretch in 1990. Much of the discussion leading up to the game involved Malzahns return to his native state, as well as his budding rivalry with first-year Arkansas coach Bret Bielema. The two engaged in a bit of back and forth regarding player safety in a hurry-up offence this summer, and Bielema stoked the fire earlier this week by accusing Auburn of being less-than forthcoming in game video it shared with the Razorbacks. Bielema and Malzahn briefly shook hands before the game, but it was Mason who quickly turned into the centre of attention -- leading a Tigers offence that finished with 233 yards rushing. Masons third touchdown put Auburn up 28-3 to open the second half, helping secure Malzahns first win in four tries at Arkansas. The former high school coach in the state was 0-3 in Fayetteville as an opposing assistant coach with Tulsa and the Tigers, but he left with a convincing win after his first trip home as a head coach. Auburn hasnt lost since a 35-21 setback at LSU on Sept. 21. The Tigers were 3-9 last season under former coach Gene Chizik, but theyve found renewed belief under Malzahn. Arkansas, meanwhile, has struggled mightily under its first-year coach, falling to 0-5 in the SEC for just the second time since joining the conference in 1992. After opening the season with three straight wins, the Razorbacks have now lost six games in a row -- lately in convincing fashion. Zach Hockers 34-yard field goal in the second quarter closed Auburns lead to 7-3, and it was Arkansas first points since the opening quarter against South Carolina on Oct. 12. The points snapped a streak in which the Razorbacks had been outscored 121-0. The Razorbacks did close to within 28-17 early in the fourth quarter after a 2-yard touchdown run by Kiero Small, but even the rally wasnt without a show of gamesmanship by Bielema , who said the Tigers had cut out the swinging gate portion of a point-after attempt on the shared video. Smalls touchdown came after Arkansas converted a fourth down, using a play in which the Razorbacks lined up for the first time this season in a swinging gate formation. Even the subtle shot across the field wasnt enough for Arkansas to overcome Mason, who responded shortly afterward with his fourth touchdown run, a 12-yard score that put the Tigers up 35-17.

Josey Jewell Jersey .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan had ideal preparation for the playoffs at the Ford World Curling Championships with a pair of hard-fought wins over tenacious opponents Thursday."Our fans deserve better. Changes will be coming, guaranteed." So said Impact President Joey Saputo in that now infamous tweet heard right around the MLS world, back on May 10. Many jumped to the (incorrect) conclusion Saputo meant he was about to jettison a third head coach in just over two seasons. The more rational focused on player movements. Since that time, a revolving door of player movements was put into maximum effect at Stade Saputo. Including the arrival - finally - of Ignaccio Piatti shortly after Nick De Santis was unceremoniously relieved. Harking back to that early spring Saturday afternoon as Saputo left his seat following a rather shambolic 0-3 home reversal against Sporting KC, no one could have dared to imagine what changes Joey Saputo would go on to announce at Thursdays press conference. Saputo is a man with a three-year plan. Hes also at least $10 million shorter in the wallet. This is the projected cost of an impeccable-looking training facility which will be constructed over the next year or so. A Heritage Montreal building which originally opened back to 1915 will form the façade. And its located a few goal kicks or so Southwest of Saputo Stadium with the St. Lawrence Seaway forming the backdrop. It will be the home base for the entire club, from the senior squad right down to the youngest academy teams. In terms of football pitches, there will be two natural surfaces complemented with two artificial ones. Its a huge step up to the current set up where the club have an inadequate indoor facility for the winter months and spread themselves rather thin through the remainder of the season. Either utilizing a facility built as a training facility for the 1976 Olympics or the parcel of land that sits right between Olympic and Saputo Stadiums - a jumpers-for-goal-posts scenario if ever there was one. If the prospect of a destination training facility was the appetizer, then the formation of FC Montreal is certainly the cherry on the cake. With the demise of the MLS Reserve League, the club have gone the USL Pro route, where old but not exactly dear acquaintances will be renewed. Back in Fall of 2009, the Impact were crowned USL First Division Playoff Champions. A month later due to a dispute with the league, they broke away and became part of the NASL Version 2.0. FC Montreal will kick off next season and comprise of young Quebeckers culled from the Impacts Under-18 and Under-23 teams. The philosophy here is to provide a more complete competitive environment ahead of the quantum leap to the senior squad. The Impact brethren now truly have two teams to cheer for. It surely cant be long before a Twitter handle pops up for an FC Montreal Supporters Group. A perfect pick me up tonic for an ailing MLS club that at times this season which would have been routed by that 2009 USL Championship team. Saputo was far from finished. A well-rested and refreshed looking Nick De Santis has been rebranded into the title of Director of International Business Development. A significant part of that portfolio will be entering the global market for acquiring players - and not necessarily for MLS. "Were thinking now of sales, investtments on players, re-selling players," De Santis disclosed to TSN Radio 690 Thursday evening.dddddddddddd. I think probably now is a good opportunity now to start as well now with the relationships Ive built especially in South American with young players. "This is something which we are going to start working on. I truly believe it could be prosperous." Over his time as GM and throughout MLS as Sporting Director, De Santis has scoured South America - Argentina especially, travelled to Africa and spent significant time in a number of European nations. He referenced attending reserve team games in Argentina, where he had identified talent that ultimately ended up at the Santiago Barnebeau or at other big clubs across the pond. "I think in North America as well its starting to catch on of that culture of buying and selling players," he explained. The multilingual De Santis fits the profile of a globe-trotting football agent. This concept certainly maximizes the valuable rolodex of contacts and player/agent network he has formed over this last decade. It would have been a form of football suicide from the Impact to allow De Santis to possibly forge a new career for himself outside of Saputo Stadium. This after all, is an individual who has sat down with some of the biggest agents there is in world football, and whose client roster list could fil out any World Select XI. Having taken care of significant business on the pitch, Saputo also introduced three new senior members of his management team. Over the MLS years, the club has not come close to maximising its potential at the box office nor with Montreals business community. In fact, it has come up woefully short. This significant void has been addressed in the hiring of Andre Cote as Chief Strategic Officer, Hugues Leger as Chief Marketing Officer and Marc Bourassa as Chief Revenue Officer. The three combined have a myriad of executive experience and successes with significant companies and brand. The like of which should allow for them to complement each other - as they take their very first dip into the soccer industry and the outstanding commercial opportunities this presents. Meanwhile on the pitch, the Impact has undergone a renaissance of sorts since Piattis arrival, this no more apparent than in last Saturdays master class and brace versus Columbus. On Saturday evening, the Impact pay a visit to the cauldron that is the late summer Texas heat of Houston, an environment which has not been kind to them over the years. However, the destiny of a potential season lost will come in the form of a critical upcoming home and home series against the Red Bulls in the Champions League. The first of those mouth-watering encounters occurs at Saputo on Sept. 17. The club president will be looking to fill the house that only 17,000 bothered to show for in last Saturdays league match. A victory could all be assured the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages pay a return visit to La Belle Ville after a six-year absence.
