Players for Michigan and Michigan State raised their fists during the national anthem at each teams respective home game Saturday.Three Michigan State players -- running back Delton Williams, safety Kenney Lyke and defensive end Gabe Sherrod -- held their right fists in the air while standing for the anthem before the eighth-ranked Spartans 30-6 loss to No. 11 Wisconsin.Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said the players were exercising their freedom.To me, your patriotism, your faith are sort of the same -- thats your choice. And its influenced by what youve experienced in this world. So whether somebody salutes or puts a hand over their heart, everybody has a choice to make, Dantonio said after the game. I guess they have decisions that people have to make. As long as its done in a peaceful way, this is America. Thats what the flag stands for. It stands for the freedom to do what you need to do. Thats the beautiful thing about this country.At some point in time, when the true enemy comes, I guess well all stand together. But I cant make assumptions for our players, for what theyve gone through in their lives. All I can do is try and lead the best way I can and be positive and accepting toward our football team and our players. When we come together after the national anthem, we come together in solidarity, and I think thats whats important.Later on Saturday, Michigan players held their right fists in the air on their home sideline while the national anthem played at the Big House.Michigan All-American cornerback Jourdan Lewis?was among the Wolverines with their hands in the air. Others included tight end Khalid Hill, outside linebackers Mike McCray and Devin Bush and inside linebacker Elysee Mbem-Bosse. Lewis, who has previously spoken up about social justice issues, said weeks ago that he thought?Colin Kaepernicks protest made some important points, but he wasnt sure the best way to voice those concerns.After the game, Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh said he backed his players actions.Ive been thinking a lot about this over the last four, five, six weeks, Harbaugh said. Because I am the football coach doesnt mean I can dictate to people what they believe. I support our guys. I think this is something. Its not going away, its gonna keep happening.Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, received national attention when he refused to stand for the anthem before NFL preseason games earlier this year. He cited racial injustice and police brutality among the reasons for his actions.Since then, other athletes all over the U.S. have engaged in their own protests during the anthem.Weeks ago, Harbaugh was asked about Kaepernicks anthem protest and said he understood the motivation for them but did not respect the action.Harbaugh coached Kaepernick in San Francisco for four seasons before leaving for the Michigan job in late 2014.?In Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Saturday, about 50 student protesters in the west end zone sat with raised fists during the playing of the anthem before the Tar Heels game against Pittsburgh.North Carolina sophomore Jerome Simpson, one of the organizers of the demonstration, said several fans sitting nearby criticized the group for not standing. He said it was not the groups intention to offend.Were not anti-police department or anti-military, Simpson said. The police here in Chapel Hill have been very supportive about making sure this is a welcoming environment. I love that our troops fight for our rights to be able to do this.Nebraska players Michael Rose-Ivey, Daishon Neal and Mohamed Barry also kneeled before the No. 20 Cornhuskers game at Northwestern.ESPN staff writers Dan Murphy, Brian Bennett and David Hale contributed to this report.

Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. (STATS) -- Where has the regular season gone? Well, if November has snuck up on FCS fans, this weeks national schedule will get their attention.Theres nowhere for anybody, including Top 10 teams, to hide.Top-ranked Sam Houston State faces rival McNeese, last years Southland Conference champ.No. 2 Jacksonville State is at Southeast Missouri State -- potentially a tricky road game.No. 3 Eastern Washington visits No. 14 Cal Poly -- dangerous indeed.No. 4 North Dakota State hosts No. 15 Youngstown State.No. 5 The Citadel puts its unbeaten record on the line against No. 20 Samford.No. 6 Richmond and No. 7 James Madison face each other.No. 8 Charleston Southern? OK, its probably safe at home against Gardner-Webb. But not as safe as No. 9 Chattanooga, no doubt glad to be on a bye.No. 10 Villanova goes to surging Maine, the first team sitting outside the Top 25.Keep going? OK, No. 11 North Carolina A&T hosts perennial MEAC power South Carolina State. No. 12 Western Illinois hosts an Illinois State squad that just went into the Top 10 and won (versus South Dakota State).You know about Cal Poly, Youngstown State and Samford. Theres also tough conference road games for No. 16 North Dakota (Northern Colorado) and No. 17 Central Arkansas (Stephen F. Austin).The weeks will grow with importance, but within the FCS Top 25, the first Saturday in November is scarier than Halloween.---=FCS GAME OF THE WEEK=The Matchup: No. 7 James Madison (7-1, 5-0 CAA) at No. 6 Richmond (7-1, 4-1)Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET at Robins Stadium (8,700) in Richmond, VirginiaTelevision: Comcast SportsNet PlusSeries: Richmond leads 18-15 (most recent meeting: Richmond won 59-49 at JMU on Oct. 24, 2015)The Skinny: Last years game drew ESPNs College GameDay show to JMU, but the stakes are similar with this years matchup. The first-place Dukes are the lone unbeaten team in CAA Football play, but five teams are within one game of them. Last week, the Dukes scored 84 points against Rhode Island -- a record for a CAA game -- with quarterback Bryan Schor (FCS leader with 71.3 completion percentage) winning conference player of the week honors for the third time in five weeks. The Dukes rank in the national top 10 in 11 different offensive categories, and their opportunistic defense has helped them to a plus-13 turnover margin. Richmond had last week off to prepare even more for its rival. Freshman Deontez Thompson is the Spiders third different starting running back because of injuries, but hes rushed for over 100 yards in two of the last three games. Still, the offense revolves around the Kyle Lauletta-Brian Brown passing combo. Opponents have completed under 47 percent of their passes and the Spiders defense has 12 interceptions.Prediction: The bye week was important as Richmond healed up some more. But Schor in combination with running backs Khalid Abdullah and Cardon Johnson might give the Dukes too much offense.
