The Wolverines have lost two out of their last three in heart-breaking fashion, a triple-overtime heartbreaker to Penn State and a defeat to in-state rival Mich- igan State last week. Nebraska looked to be headed to back-to-back losses last week following its surprise loss to Minnesota in week 9. But a Hail Mary from a third-string Weekly News quarterback saved the Huskers from another shocking “L” to Northwestern. Both teams page 4 come into the game at 6-2 and the winner will stay in the hunt behind Michigan State and takeover second place in the Legends division. Nebraska is expected to be without starting quarterback Taylor Martinez, who has dealt with a myriad of injuries and missed This Week in the four games this year. Michigan starting quarterback Devin Gardiner will play, but likely Big Ten/Pac-12 won’t last long if he is sacked seven times like he was last week against Michigan State. Bowl Predictions page 5 Pac-12 Game of the Week: Oregon at Stanford Thursday, 6 p.m. pt/9 p.m. et (ESPN) Football is a funny game. Historically, it has been played with hard-nosed, three yards What 2 Watch 4 and a cloud of dust running of the football, maximizing time of possession. But there Who’s Trending? has been a new trend of no huddle, play fast and score as many points as possible in page 6 football. Stanford epitomizes the old style, physical brand of football and has been to a BCS bowl the last three years. Oregon was on the forefront of this new style of foot- ball, appearing in four straight BCS bowl games. The Cardinal spoiled the Ducks’ 2012 Football 101 campaign, giving Oregon its only loss of the year and bumping the Ducks from the Rose Bowl Game Rose Bowl Game. This year looks eerily similar to 2012. Stanford comes in with one loss Fun Fact in conference, while undefeated Oregon looks to be in the driver’s seat in the Pac-12. page 7 Could we have a repeat of last year or will the Ducks get revenge? This is one of the most anticipated games of the year and it appears that it will live up to expectations. All-Century National Game of the Week: Oklahoma at Baylor Nominees Thursday, 4:30 p.m. pt/7:30 p.m. et (Fox Sports 1) page 8 Baylor has been this year’s biggest surprise, leading the nation in total offense, passing offense and scoring, but is also sixth in defensive points against, giving up just 15.9 Social Media points per game. Oklahoma has been the class of the Big 12 over the past few years, Central winning five of the last seven conference championships. Baylor has played what can be page 9 called a less than challenging schedule so far this year, but will face ranked opponents in its next three games, the first of which is Oklahoma. The Sooners have beaten ranked opponents like Texas Tech and Notre Dame, but lost their rivalry game against Texas. This News and Notes matchup will surely have an impact on the Big 12 championship run, and it’s the ground page 10 game that will determine the winner. If Baylor can get running back Lache Seastrunk, who averages 9.1 yards per carry, running down hill, it’s unlikely Oklahoma can keep up. But if the Sooners read option run game with 6’6”, 252 pound quarterback Blake Bell, Oklahoma will be able to keep the ball away from Baylor and its high scoring offense. 1 Weekly Polls The BCS computer rankings have started their yearly differentiation from the human polls. Oregon was jumped by Florida State in this week’s BCS Poll, despite the Ducks being No. 2 in both the Coaches and Harris Polls. Undefeated Baylor comes into its week 11 matchup with Oklahoma at No. 5 in the human polls, but one-loss Stanford has jumped the Bears in the BCS Poll. Meanwhile, BCS busters Northern Il- linois and Fresno State are appreciating the computer rankings, which find them both higher in the BCS polls than either of the human polls. Michigan was the only team to fall from the rankings this week, while Texas Tech and Miami fell dramatically following their week 10 losses. The BCS picture will clear up this week, with No. 3 Oregon playing No. 5 Stanford in Palo Alto and No. 6 Baylor hosting No. 10 Oklahoma. USA Today Coaches Harris BCS 1. Alabama (54) 1.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

    IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE BULL-ED STATEMENT Iowa rallied, but Wisconsin found a way to grind out a 26-24 win over the Hawkeyes last Saturday in Iowa City and announce that the road to the Big Ten West Division title would run through Madison a week later. Marcus Trotter (59), Konrad Zagzebski (91), Peniel Jean (21), Derek Landisch (30) and the Badgers walked out of Kinnick Stadium with the Heartland Trophy for the third-consecutive time.

PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE LIKE IT’S 1999 Wisconsin’s Sara Disanza turned plenty of heads ― including nearly the entire feld as she passed everyone but champion Kate Avery of Iona ― with her runner-up fnish at the 2014 NCAA Championship last Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana. The sophomore’s showing was the best for a member of the Badgers’ women’s team since 1999.

  • Zauner Finds Niche As Special Teams Coach
    Zauner Finds Niche As Special Teams Coach Article from: Take 5 Article date: January 17, 2008 Article by: Take 5 Rarely does a kicker get mentioned by football analysts in pre-game shows. Their job is a lonely one. But for Fountain Hills resident Gary Zauner, he’s in good company. The kickers he’s become acquainted with have achieved much success between the uprights. For this kicking and special teams coach, he’s built a reputation on helping kickers achieve elite status. Names like Gary Anderson, Eddie Murray, Nick Lowery and Jeff Jaeger. When Anderson finished the first perfect season by an NFL kicker in 1998 it was under Zauner’s tutelage. Since then Anderson has offered this testimonial of the coach’s technique on Zauner’s website: “Gary is easily the most knowledgeable kicking coach in the country. His approach of blending all the technical aspects of kicking with a practical common sense approach is one of Gary’s finest qualities. He can improve any kicker in a very short period of time and put you on a precise road to success. He is simply the very best!” But had it not been for Zauner’s persistence, the NFL might not have seen his coaching prowess. First Down Zauner says he had a passion for kicking and punting at an early age. In Wisconsin he won the local and regional punt, pass and kick competitions. From there he played in high school, excelling as quarterback, punter and kicker. As he became profi cient at kicking, several colleges took an interest.

  • Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox Brings Broncos to Their Knees
    Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox brings Broncos to their knees Woody Paige The Denver Post January 12, 2013 The cold, hard fact is the Broncos lost everything Saturday. And they blew it. They lost the overtime coin toss. They lost a cinch victory with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter by blowing coverage. They lost the game on an intercepted pass late in the fifth quarter. They lost the playoff game early in the sixth quarter on a 47-yard field goal. They lost their chance at a ninth AFC championship game. They lost the opportunity for the franchise to win a third Super Bowl. Peyton Manning lost the prospect of playing a Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans and winning a second NFL championship. The Broncos lost the lead four times. They lost two interceptions and a fumble, all Manning turnovers. They lost a dozen arguments with the officials. They lost a rare home playoff game. The Broncos lost everything from the regular season in one historic postseason game. In a frozen conundrum on a Dr. Zhivago kind of day, in the chilliest and longest playoff game in Denver history, Ravens 38, Broncos 35. Rather than Holliday, Hillman and the Hallelujah High Way, it was to Hades in a Handbasket. Everybody shares the blame, but coach John Fox should get more than his share for his conservative approach. After the Ravens shocked a bitterly cold crowd with a 70-yard balloon bomb from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones, with just over half a minute to go, to tie the game for the fifth time, at 35-35, the Broncos had the ball at their 20-yard line, had two timeouts and had the quarterback who had produced more winning drives in the fourth quarter than anybody else who ever played the game.
