SURREY, B.C. - Stephen Adekolu and Bryan Burnham are close friends off the field, so its probably fitting their careers have followed similar paths.Both experienced injuries in university that affected their ability to catch on with professional teams, both had to fight for spots on the practice roster with the B.C. Lions, and both are now getting their chance to play because of injuries.Its something the rookie receivers could only dream of back in training camp.When we first started I remember guys lockers clearing out, Adekolu said after practice Wednesday. If you really looked at me and Burnham, its no secret that we were the bottom two that had to fight our way up and beat out a lot of guys. Thats what we both did.The 25-year-old Adekolu and the 24-year-old Burnham were happy to work with the scout team and said running opponents plays against the CFLs No. 1 defence in practice for the first 12 weeks of the season did a lot for their confidence.We would make small bets or joke around on who would get the most yards on our first-team defence, said Adekolu, a native of Brampton, Ont. We were like: If thats the best defence and we give them a good look, we could go out and play.And thats exactly what they did last week when both dressed for their first pro games in a 40-23 home loss to the Toronto Argonauts.Adekolu watched mostly from the sidelines, but Burnham wound up as the Lions second-leading receiver with five catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in place of Courtney Taylor, who has a foot injury and is likely lost for the season. Ive always stayed ready. Those older guys have really helped me stay mentally in it and always ready for when they called my number, said Burnham, who grew up in Moorestown, N.J. I definitely didnt think it was going to come this quick. You never want to see someone get hurt.You never wish for that, but when it does come youve got to be ready for it because thats football.Lions head coach Mike Benevides said both players have earned their chance, adding that Adekolu will see time on offence this week against the Calgary Stampeders.(Burnham) performed at a high level during the (Toronto game) and I think theres a high level of confidence of what he can bring, said Benevides. With Stephen, hes preformed throughout the entire season in practice. He had a strong pre-season and its time to see what he can bring to the table as a fifth guy and a rotational-type of person.Burnham played at the University of Tulsa in the NCAA, while Adekolu spent five CIS seasons at Bishops University. Each suffered knee injuries late in their college careers, which meant they had to work even harder to get a chance at the next level.Adekolu went to rookie camp with the Montreal Alouettes last season but experienced tendinitis before returning to Bishops, while Burnhams last game with Tulsa was the 2012 season opener when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.Both signed with the Lions this winter and have climbed the depth chart much quicker than expected.I think the biggest thing and the best thing is that the young guys are willing to take coaching, said quarterback Kevin Glenn. Theyre very good character guys. Theyre humble and theyre really just out there wanting to help the team.That attitude has resonated with teammates, who can often sense when a player is unhappy with a situation.I like to try to come to practice everyday with the same attitude. Im out here having a great time. I love being here, said Burnham. I think if you come out here and start to be too serious when things are going wrong, thats when things start to split and you see guys start to change their demeanour.Part of Burnhams even-keel approach comes from his father Lem, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles in the late 1970s before becoming a psychologist.He always just stayed on me about being patient and managing my stress and being anxious to get out there a€” youve got to manage that or its going to tear you apart, said Burnham, whose sister works in the Lions front office and suggested he try out after NFL teams passed. Its something I really worked at ... he always gives me little mental exercises.He always said for the longest time: Ive been there.The Lions (7-5) visit the Calgary Stampeders (10-2) on Saturday as they continue to battle for playoff positioning in the West Division. Apart from Taylors ailment, the door has been opened for Burnham and Adekolu because of injuries to return man Tim Brown and defensive back Dante Marsh.B.C. handed Calgary its only home defeat of the season in a 25-24 decision back on Aug. 1, and Glenn said the Lions can take some positives from that game even though theres been a lot of personnel changes on both sides.The biggest thing I think is we came back from being 11 points down in the second half, said the veteran pivot. We never quit. Thats a big thing.Adekolu and Burnham also havent quit, and both are excited to step on the field together in a game situation.They also know if they dont perform, theres a hungry recruit just like them waiting to jump up and snatch their spot.You always keep the mentality that when you get your chance either someones not doing their job or someone got hurt, said Adekolu. Football is youre taking someones job or youre playing well enough to get a job. I want to step in and show that I can do the job theyre expecting.

Juventus struggled at times before Tevez broke the deadlock in the 59th, following good interplay with Kwadwo Asamoah. It was the Argentina forwards first goal in Europes elite club competition in more than five years. Tevez then sealed the result in stoppage time with a well-placed free kick that sailed into the top corner. "I didnt miss scoring in the Champions League, that wasnt a problem for me," Tevez said. "I play for a team and with this team I always play as if it was my last match. "Im playing deeper now. And today when I rushed in to finish things off I managed to score twice. We need to continue like this. We know we need to win every match. The newspapers say its an easy group but, especially after last years experience, we know its not like that at all." The Bianconeri dominated possession against the Swedish side, but failed to create many clear cut opportunities, and it was Malmo which almost took the lead in the first half. In the other group match, Olympiakos surprisingly beat last years runner-up Atletico Madrid, 3-2. "Nothing is easy," new Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. "We knew we were facing a team which defended well and was also very physical. We needed to be good technically. In the first half we were disorganized, while in the second we dealt with the ball better. "It was important to get off to a good start. It will be a difficult group because Olympiakos beat Atletico tonight, and we will need a lot of points to progress." Juventus was without key playmaker Andrea Pirlo, who was injured along with Arturo Vidal and Andrea Barzagli, while Roberto Pereyra was suspended. The Italian side was eager to get off to a good start following last seassons disappointing group stage exit, while it was Malmos first appearance in the Champions League proper.dddddddddddd Juventus struggled during the first half and it was Malmo which had the best chance in the 19th minute when Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon did well to parry Magnus Erikssons shot at point-blank range. Tevez had not scored in Europe since netting for Manchester United more than five years ago and the Argentinian had several opportunities to break his duck. After hitting an effort straight at the goalkeeper earlier in the first half, Tevez had another good chance on the half-hour mark, following Stephan Lichtsteiners pull back from the byline, but he fired into the sidenetting under pressure. Juventus should have scored as the first half drew to a close when Lichtsteiner burst into the box onto a Tevez through ball, but he overhit his pass as he attempted to pick out Asamoah at the back post. The home side was awarded a dangerous free kick on the stroke of halftime but Leonardo Bonucci hit it into the wall and then fired the rebound straight into the goalkeepers arms. Juventus finally found a way through in the 59th when Tevez played a one-two with Asamoah, who then backheeled it back into his path, for the Argentine to rifle into the bottom left corner. Fernando Llorente thought he had doubled Juves lead immediately afterward, but his effort was ruled out for a tight offside decision against Lichtsteiner. Lichtsteiner was dangerous all night and the Switzerland defender almost got on the scoresheet in the 70th but his header from Patrice Evras cross crashed down before bouncing over the bar. Llorente also had a good opportunity to wrap up the points but Malmo goalkeeper Robin Olsen pulled off a good double save to deny the Spaniard twice. Tevez sealed the result after substitute Alvaro Morata won a free kick for Juventus on the edge of the area shortly before the final whistle.
