Some things to watch in the Big Ten on Saturday:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 7 Nebraska at No. 11 Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers have won 10 of their last 11 and are 7-0 for the first time since 2001. With a win, theyll remain in control of the Big Ten West and change the opinion of those whove been unimpressed with their body of work against a light schedule. Nebraska has lost four of the last five meetings with the Badgers, and Camp Randall Stadium has been the Huskers house of horrors. Theyve been outscored 107-41 in their last two visits. Mike Riley lost 35-0 in Madison in his last trip there, with Oregon State in 2011, and now he returns for the biggest game since he took over the Huskers last year. With two Big Ten losses, the Badgers are in desperation mode. Even though their defense has been hampered by injuries , coordinator Justin Wilcoxs unit is one of the best in the country.BEST MATCHUPNo. 2 Michigan at Michigan State. Never mind that Michigan State has lost five straight for the first time since 1991. Mark Dantonio cant stand living in the Wolverines shadow, so even though the Spartans arent playing for much this season and are 23 +-point underdogs, dont be surprised if they push Michigan. No doubt, Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines have payback on their minds. Theyve dropped three straight to the Spartans and last year they lost 27-23 at the Big House on the last play when Jalen Watts-Jackson ran back Michigans botched punt attempt for a touchdown.INSIDE THE NUMBERSWisconsins Corey Clement, with 164 yards against Ohio State and 134 against Iowa last week, is coming off his first back-to-back 100-yard games since 2013. ... Minnesota has allowed only one touchdown (to Rutgers) in the first half of its four conference games. ... Illinois Hardy Nickerson leads the Big Ten with 10.3 tackles a game. ... Michigan has lost four straight in the series with Michigan State on only four occasions since the teams began playing in 1898. ... Penn State heads to Purdue on a seven-game losing skid in true road games. ... Indiana is averaging 290 yards passing to rank second in the Big Ten. Its opponent, Maryland, has allowed just one team to pass for more than 200.LONG SHOTNorthwestern is a 26 +-point underdog at No. 6 Ohio State. During the Wildcats three-game win streak, Clayton Thorson has thrown for nine touchdowns against one interception and Austin Carr has been the Big Tens hottest receiver. But theyve lost 29 of their last 30 against Ohio State, and the Buckeyes are in a foul mood after losing at Penn State. Urban Meyer has lost back-to-back games only four times in his 15 seasons as a head coach. Each of his three national championship teams (2006, 2008 Florida and 2014 Ohio State) has overcome a regular-season loss to win out.PLAYERS TO WATCHWisconsin QBs Alex Hornibrook and Bart Houston both are in coach Paul Chrysts plans against Nebraska. Hornibrook is the better passer, particularly on deep balls, and will remain the starter. Houston was the starter in the three nonconference games but didnt play in the Badgers first four conference games. He got in for two series last week against Iowa, went 4 for 6 for 59 yards and a touchdown, and gave the Badgers a running threat.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.orgAllen Iverson Nuggets Jersey . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. Thomas Welsh Jersey .

The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. Tyler Lydon Nuggets Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Jamal Murray Jersey . "Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home. Showtime on Tuesday announced the addition of three more fights to its loaded July 30 card at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.??Tony Harrison and Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a junior middleweight world title eliminator that will position the winner for an eventual shot at the belt held by Jermall Charlo, whose immediate mandatory fight is due against Julian J Rock Williams.Harrison-Rabchenko opens the Showtime telecast at 9 p.m. ET on the card that also includes the highly anticipated main event between featherweight world titleholder Leo Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOs) and former unified junior featherweight titlist Carl Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs), who is moving up in weight, and the co-feature between junior welterweight Mikey Garcia (34-0, 28 KOs), a former two-division titleholder returning from a 2?-year layoff, against former featherweight titlist Elio Rojas (24-2, 14 KOs), who is coming off a 23-month layoff.??Former welterweight and junior welterweight world titleholder Paulie Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KOs) will face fellow Brooklyn fighter and longtime friend Gabriel Tito Bracero (24-2, 5 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight fight that will top the Showtime Extreme-televised portion of the card beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT.??Lightweights Ivan Redkach and Tevin Farmer will meet in a 10-round crossroads fight that will open the Showtime Extreme telecast.This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center, said promoter Lou DiBella, who has promoted several cards at the arena, including last Saturday nights barnburner between welterweight titlist Keith Thurman and former titleholder Shawn Porter. Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.Harrison (23-1, 19 KOs), 25, of Detroit, is aiming for his third win in a row since he suffered an upset, ninth-round knockout loss to Willie Nelson last July.Im thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and Im ready to put on a show, Harrison said. Fighting for a world title is my dream, and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. Im working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.Rabchenko (27-1, 20 KOs), 30, of Belarus, is also seeking his third win in a row since suffering his lone defeat, a very debatable split decision to former world titleholder Anthony Mundine on his home turf in Australia in November 2014. The fight will be Rabchenkos first in the United States.This is the start of realizing my dream, Rabchenko said. America is the mecca of boxing, so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts, and I like to knock people out, so I think they will like what they see.I think I can build a fan base [in the U.S.]. I am huungrier than ever.dddddddddddd I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. Im not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.Since a ninth-round knockout loss to Danny Garcia last August at Barclays Center, Malignaggi has won two fights in a row, one in Italy and one in England. He said he is excited to return home again to face Bracero, his fellow 35-year-old neighborhood rival.I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn, Malignaggi said. I have known Tito a long time, and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.Bracero is coming off the biggest win of his career, a devastating first-round knockout victory against Danny OConnor in October.Im looking to make a statement by winning this fight, Bracero said. Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs, and Im thankful to have this opportunity, but hes had his run. Now its time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.Redkach (19-1-1, 15 KOs), a 30-year-old native of Ukraine fighting out of Los Angeles, and Farmer (21-4-1, 5 KOs), of Philadelphia, are going in opposite directions in their career. Whereas Redkach, a one-time cant-miss prospect, is 1-1-1 in his last three fights and coming off a draw against big underdog Luis Cruz on April 19, Farmer is riding a 14-fight winning streak.I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York, Redkach said. There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York, and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come July 30.Farmer, 25, has not lost since suffering an eighth-round knockout in 2012 to Jose Pedraza, who went on to win a junior lightweight world title.I couldnt be more excited about this fight, Farmer said. This is my Barclays Center debut, and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130-pound division to no avail, so now Im moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy, and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised.This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. Im willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity, and July 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine. ' ' '
