OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze made a surprise choice to protect his teams most valuable asset.Junior Rod Taylor will be the starter at left tackle when No. 11 Ole Miss plays No. 4 Florida State on Monday in Orlando, Florida. That means the 6-foot-3, 329-pounder -- who has never made a start at either tackle spot -- will be charged with protecting quarterback Chad Kellys blindside against the Seminoles talented defense.If Ole Miss expects another banner year from Kelly -- who threw for 4,042 yards and running for 500 more during the programs 10-win season a year ago -- Taylor and the rest of the offensive line will have to keep the quarterback from getting pressured, hit and sacked.Freeze said he loves the work that Taylor and the rest of the offensive line has done during preseason camp. Even so, he said its hard to predict how the relatively inexperienced group will react to one of the best teams in the country.I like what I see on tape, but give me a couple weeks and we will know if it is fools gold or not, Freeze said.Taylor is a converted guard, but still beat out prized freshman recruit Greg Little and a handful of other candidates. He replaces Laremy Tunsil, a three-year starter who was a first-round NFL draft pick by the Miami Dolphins.Freeze acknowledges Taylor doesnt have the ideal body to play left tackle. Hes a little short for the position and doesnt have the longest arms, but Freeze says Taylors athleticism makes up for it.His quarterback agrees.Hes been really good, Kelly said. Hes an athletic guy. Hes got a lot of confidence and hes physical. Playing the left tackle position thats what you need. As long as hes stays the course, does the right thing and keeps on learning hell be good.Senior center Robert Conyers -- one of the few veterans up front -- says Taylor should be fine as long as hes mentally prepared.I think it starts more between your ears, Conyers said. Being smart and knowing where you can get beat and where you cant get beat. If you know what youre doing, thats half the battle. Hes got a leg up on everybody else just because hes more athletic than just about anybody who plays that position.Taylors emergence was a bit of a surprise considering his career has been checkered with occasional discipline problems. The latest was when he was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting during the spring.Senior tight end Evan Engram said its been rewarding to see Taylor mature during the summer and is confident he can anchor the left side of the line.If he takes this seriously, applies himself and puts the work in he can be that pivotal player who could change the shape of our offensive line and even our team, Engram said.Florida State will undoubtedly put Taylors maturity to the test early and often on Monday. The Seminoles have made no secret that disrupting Kellys rhythm is crucial to their success.Chad Kelly, hes what keeps the factory running over there, Florida State safety Derwin James said. Hes a big part of what they do. They feed off him. He can beat you on the run, he can beat you with the pass.-----AP Sports Writer Joe Reedy in Tallahassee, Florida, contributed to this story.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .

"I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement.LANDOVER, Md. -- Alfred Morris swears he has no hard feelings for the Washington Redskins.It was the same as any other game, just excited for the opportunity, excited to do what I love to do, Morris said. People probably think Im joking when I say that, but from the bottom of my heart, I have no hard feelings for the Redskins or the organization.But that did not stop Morris from smiling widely after scoring what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown in the Dallas Cowboys 27-23 win against Washington on Sunday at FedEx Field.Perhaps in his dreams, Morris was picturing more than five carries for seven yards in his return to Washington, but he will have to settle for the game-winning touchdown.Alfred is a pro, coach Jason Garrett said. Hes a pro. He handles himself the right way each and every day and gets himself ready. When he has an opportunity in the game, hes ready for it. He ran the ball well. Those were tough runs at the end of the game, a couple of situations he was in.ddddddddddddMorris was only in the game because the Cowboys first-round pick, Ezekiel Elliott, fumbled twice in the second half, including once on the game-winning drive. The Cowboys lost Elliotts first fumble, but Doug Free was able to recover the second to allow the Cowboys to continue.Morris touchdown -- the 30th of his career and first with the Cowboys -- came on a second-down carry from the Washington 2. After early red zone troubles, the Cowboys trusted their offensive line and gave the ball to Morris, who followed a key block from Zack Martin?into the end zone with 4:45 to play.I didnt hear any boos anywhere, Morris said. I expected the worst and hoped for the best, I guess. When I came out, some guys were jaw-jacking behind the bench, calling me a traitor. It is what it is. Ill be the villain if they want me to be. Totally fine. ' ' '
