Some things to watch in the Big Ten in Week 13 of the season:BEST GAMENo. 3 Michigan (No. 3 CFP) at No. 2 Ohio State (No. 2 CFP). The stakes for The Game havent been this high since 2006, when Ohio State was No. 1 and Michigan was No. 2. The Buckeyes won and advanced to the national championship game, where they lost to Urban Meyer-coached Florida. Now Meyer coaches the Buckeyes, and theyre facing a Michigan team looking to lock up the East Divisions spot in the Big Ten championship game and remain on the path to the College Football Playoff. If Ohio State wins, the Buckeyes would go the Big Ten title game if Penn State loses at home to Michigan State. Ohio State has won four straight and 11 of the last 12 in the series.BEST MATCHUPNo. 17 Nebraska at Iowa. The Cornhuskers offense has injury issues at quarterback and will be going against an Iowa defense that has allowed a combined 399 yards the last two weeks against Michigan and Illinois. Terrell Newby has done some of his best and toughest running in recent games and hell need to do more of the same. The Huskers defense will focus on stuffing Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels Jr., the Nos. 8 and 9 rushers in the Big Ten, and see if C.J. Beathard can beat its much-improved secondary.INSIDE THE NUMBERSRutgers four shutout losses are the programs most since the 1936 team was shut out six times. ... Purdues offense ranks 28th nationally third-down conversions at 44.8 percent; its defense ranks 121st in third-down defense, yielding first downs on 49.1 percent. ... Indiana has recorded 15 sacks and 52 tackles for loss over the last five games. ... Maryland has started seven true freshmen, tied with South Carolina for most in the FBS. ... Illinois LB Tre Watson is averaging 10.8 tackles in Big Ten games to lead the conference. Hes made 41 stops in the last three games. ... Justin Jackson last week became the first Northwestern player to rush for 1,000 yards in three seasons.LONG SHOTMichigan State is a 13-point underdog at Penn State and, if Ohio State beats Michigan earlier in the day, would love to mess up the Nittany Lions opportunity to go to the Big Ten championship game. The Spartans clinched the 2015 East Division title with a 39-point win over Penn State. They havent had much to celebrate this year. Theyre 0-3 in Big Ten road games, have had 20 different starters and fielded nine freshmen. After losing by a point to Ohio State last week, a win here would make the season for Sparty.PLAYER TO WATCHMinnesota LB Blake Cashman has been coming up big since early November and played his best game last week, finishing with 10 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in the win over Northwestern. Cashman began the season playing mostly on special teams. He has 19 tackles and five sacks in his last three games. The Gophers need him to keep doing what hes been doing if they hope to upset fifth-ranked Wisconsin (No. 6 CFP).---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org Morgan Weaver Jersey .

Heather OReilly Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Carlos Sainz believes he can force opportunities to gain an early promotion to Red Bull if he continues to impress at Toro Rosso.Red Bull team principal Christian Horner confirmed on Wednesday that Sainz has had his Toro Rosso deal extended for 2017, while senior team drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are both contracted until the end of the following season. Sainz says he feels the early announcement can only be a positive and that it emphasises the belief Red Bull has in him.From my personal point of view its good news, Sainz said. because in such a tough program like Toro Rosso, where we all know what has happened in the past, to execute the option in the ninth race of the season I must be doing something good. I must be performing. So Im happy with that, it shows the hard work is finally paying off and I just need to keep pushing.The Spaniard has already matched his 2015 points tally (18) after just eight races this season, including a career-best sixth place finish at his home grand prix at Barcelona.Red Bull opted to switch its drivers ahhead of the Spanish Grand Prix in May -- when Daniil Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and eventual race winner Max Verstappen took his place -- and Sainz believes there is every possibility to earn a move to the senior team if he can continue his strong form.ddddddddddddIn F1 everything is open. Even if a contract is signed for 2018, you know Formula One contracts are just a bit of paper that can be broken very easily. In the end my job is to keep doing good races this year and if I stay like Im staying in Toro Rosso in 2017, keep doing the same and create my own opportunities. If I force opportunities they will come.Yes its true that the senior team is a bit too crowded at the moment so I will have to wait, but Im convinced that if I keep doing good races they will make me a seat and they will find an option for me. I just need to keep doing what Im doing, focusing on myself, getting strong results and opportunities will come. ' ' '
