CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kevin Harvick knows his team co-owner is disappointed that Stewart-Haas Racing has two and not three cars in the Chase for the Sprint Cup quarterfinal round.He expects that co-owner, three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart, to finish off his Sprint Cup career with his head up after being eliminated from the Chase in the opening round.Theyre all disappointed that they didnt make it out of the first round because of the way that they had run through the middle of the year and towards the end of the [regular season], Harvick said Tuesday.I think and hope that they would want to close it out on as high a note as possible and go out with as many good runs as possible. Why wouldnt they?Stewart had announced a year ago that 2016 would be his final Cup season. The season got off to a disastrous start for Stewart, who broke his back in January while driving a dune buggy, and had missed the first eight races of the season.With a win in June at Sonoma, Stewart earned a spot among the 16 drivers in the Chase. Finishes of 16th, 23rd and 13th werent good enough for Stewart to advance following the race Sunday at Dover.Im not going to let falling out of the Chase ruin what I think has been a really good year, Stewart said. There are still a lot of races left and we are going to go out and try to win a few more. Weve had a lot of fun this season and thats not going to stop because we are out of the Chase.We gave it our best at Chicago, New Hampshire and Dover. We made our car much better throughout the weekend in Dover and I was pretty proud we could walk out of there with a 13th-place finish. It just wasnt good enough this year to advance.While Chase drivers typically take more than they give on the track, Stewart raced Sunday at Dover as he would in many circumstances.At Dover, Stewart was pitted right behind Joey Logano, who also was vying for a spot in the next round. Logano said Stewart could have made his life miserable by pitting close to Loganos box. But he didnt.He left me plenty of room, Logano said. Thats something thats really appreciated. ... It just could have been a mess.Stewart talked last week about having grown weary of the NASCAR schedule.I think the grind has just wore him down, Harvick said. Its really not about racing. This is a grind. It wears you out, having to deal with the things over and over and over.How you deal with it is different. Hes just ready to relax and go have fun.Part of that will be as an owner, trying to make sure Harvick and Kurt Busch -- both still alive in the Chase -- and Danica Patrick and SHR newcomer Clint Bowyer have everything they need.Harvick said Stewart is a different owner than many would envision, that he isnt out there barking orders.Tony is a very different type of leader than I would have imagined coming over and working with him on a day-to-day basis, Harvick said.Hes going to be the guy thats going to sit back, he listens to everything that everybody says and he tries to put that into action the best way he knows possible.

The Mustangs (6-0), who beat Queens 50-31 last weekend, earned 17 first-place votes and 287 points in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada. Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. USC, trying to turn around a 1-2 start to the season, is making a change at quarterback, replacing Max Browne with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold for Friday nights game at No. 24 Utah.Browne, a redshirt junior who waited three seasons behind Cody Kessler for his chance, has presided over a sputtering offense that managed a total of just 16 points in losses to No. 1 Alabama and then-No. 7 Stanford.Those are two rugged defenses, and the Trojans get another Friday night in a Pac-12 South matchup at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. The game starts at 9 p.m. ET.Utah is off to a 3-0 start for the third consecutive season, beating Southern Utah, BYU and San Jose State. The Utes, which cracked the rankings this week for the first time this season, have a somewhat familiar look: An inconsistent offense and an aggressive defense.The performance at San Jose State last week brought back memories of Utahs Sack Lake City defense from a couple of years ago. The Utes 10 sacks in a 34-17 victory tied for the second-best mark in school history.Eight different players accounted for the sacks despite the unit losing starting defensive end Kylie Fitts (foot) earlier last week. Fitts is out for the rest of the season and will seek a medical hardship year.Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said first-year defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley is more apt to bring pressure than former coordinator John Pease.First of all, our defensive line is a good group, Whittingham said of a group anchored by tackle Lowell Lotulelei, a potential first-round pick. Theyre talented, physical and we felt going into the season that they were going to be a strong suit for us and thats proving to be the case. They were a little bit quiet the first week, but theyre starting to make some more noise.A defense that ranks second nationally with 15 sacks awaits Darnold, who lost a camp competition to Browne but did appear in each of the first three games, although it was only in a mop-up role last week.I want to see a spark in our offense, and I hope that Sam can bring that, USC coach Clay Heltonn said.dddddddddddd. Im confident in it after three games of watching him perform.Browne has completed 55 of 87 passes for 474 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Darnold is 14 of 22 for 136 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.Darnolds dual-threat ability could provide the spark USC is looking for, and it might also help that cornerback Adoree Jackson could dabble at receiver for about five or six plays. Hes played on both sides of the ball in his first two seasons, but the original plan was to limit him to defense and the return game in 2016.Browne told reporters Monday night he is likely to transfer as a graduate student after this season.It surprised me for sure, he said of the demotion. Id be lying if I said otherwise. ... But Ill be ready. I owe it to my teammates.Utahs offense is retooling around junior quarterback Troy Williams, a transfer from Washington and Santa Monica College. He has completed 54 of 86 passes for 723 yards and four touchdowns, but he also has been picked off four times. Utah has fumbled nine times, losing five. The Utes rank 122nd out of 128 teams with the nine lost turnovers.In a departure from their recent offenses, the Utes have thrown the long ball more, and Williams has delivered completions of 30-plus yards to five different receivers. Wide receiver Tim Patrick has 14 receptions for 285 yards and all four of Utahs receiving touchdowns.Whittingham said the enhancement of the passing game has allowed his running game to be more potent. Running backs Troy McCormick, Zack Moss and Armand Shyne combined for 201 rushing yards against San Jose State -- but none is dynamic as the departed Devontae Booker.And USCs defense, led by Jackson and linebacker Cameron Smith, has much more ability than any opponent Utah has faced this year.Theyre a very talented team, probably the most talented 1-2 team in the country, Whittingham said. Theyre very dangerous and have a lot of weapons. ' ' '
