Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst laments his teams small margin of error.
Tedy Bruschi Super Bowl Jersey .Right now,
were not that explosive of an offense, he said. Right now, were not putting a
ton of points on the board.Yet the 7th-ranked Badgers (7-2, 4-2) are in position
to win the Big Ten Conferences West Division if they can win their final three
regular season games, starting with Saturdays visit from Illinois.The reasons?
Defense and discipline, traits that will play well anywhere. Wisconsin is a top
15 unit nationally in rushing defense, scoring defense and total defense. It
ranks fifth in FBS in scoring defense, giving up 13.8 points per game.And the
Badgers play a clean game week after week. They are second in FBS in fewest
penalties with only 24 in nine games and are on pace to be the least-penalized
team in school history. In its last three games, Wisconsin has committed exactly
two penalties.It comes down to everyone being disciplined and everyone really
trusting their technique and trusting each other, tight end Troy Fumagalli said.
Just doing their jobs sound. I think its a testament to the way we practice and
the way were taught the game.First-year coach Lovie Smith is hoping to instill
some of that discipline into his program. The former NFL head coach has
experienced some rocky times with the Fighting Illini, a team with a spate of
potential NFL draft picks in their front seven that simply doesnt have enough
high-level players to consistently win in the Big 10.Illinois (3-6, 2-4) led the
conference in penalties most of the year, a spot it finally vacated last week
when it sent Michigan State careening to its seventh straight loss with a 31-27
verdict that kept its slender bowl hopes alive.What you see is a traditional Big
10 powerhouse, Smith said. Big emphasis on running the football, play-action
passes, good hard-nosed defense on the other side of the ball, playing together
as a team. Thats what were going to see.We know were going to have to be at the
top of our game. Well need to play better than we did this past week. We realize
who were playing, but what an opportunity for our young football team to have a
chance to play a great team like that.On paper, this doesnt look like a good
matchup for the Illini. Their offense has had trouble scoring, hampered by
injuries at the quarterback position that have forced them to start
third-stringer Jeff George, Jr. the last three games.After struggling in most
aspects of the game in one-sided losses against No. 2 Michigan and Minnesota,
George engineered a game-winning drive against Michigan State. George found Sam
Mays for a 16-yard scoring strike with 1:40 left, the highlight of a 13-of-29,
140-yard day.I think you just get to the point where you keep pounding the rock,
eventually you see a crack, Smith said. I think you just stay the course and
eventually you get over the hump. I think thats where we are -- we got over the
hump last week.Last weeks hump looks more like an anthill compared to this one.
George appears likely to start again as senior Wes Lunt, the quarterback for the
past 2 ? seasons, continues to nurse a back injury that has sidelined him for
four straight games.Its not known if wide receiver Malik Turner, by far Illinois
leading receiver, will be able to play after sitting out the Michigan State game
with a concussion. Turners potential absence will put more pressure on a running
game fronted last week by Kendrick Fosters 146-yard, two-touchdown effort.As for
the Badgers, theyre coming off a 21-7 win last week at Northwestern in which
they outrushed the Wildcats 190-39. Corey Clement rushed 32 times for 106 yards
and a touchdown, helping Wisconsin possess the ball for more than 40
minutes.Sporting five freshmen or sophomores in their offensive lineup, the
Badgers have been hurt by inconsistency. They rank 98th in scoring, 110th in
touchdowns and 113th in red-zone conversion ratio. They are on pace to average
their fewest points and yards since 2004.Weve played good teams, Chryst said.
Against good teams, youre going to have a smaller margin for error.But
Wisconsins defense has taken up the slack, and then some.
Martellus Bennett Youth Jersey . Those
lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25
points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy
118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and
for the fourth time in five games.

. On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that.
Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free
throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver
Nuggets 122-111. (STATS) -- Abilene Christian has scheduled a news conference
for Monday to introduce a new coach.The Southland Conference university did not
identify the coach in announcing the news conference Wednesday. Speculation has
centered on the hiring being Northwest Missouri States Adam Dorrel, who on
Saturday will seek a third NCAA Division II national title in the last four
years when his Bearcats face North Alabama in the championship game. The
42-year-old coach has a 75-8 record in six seasons.The Abilene Christtian
position became open last month when Ken Collums was relieved of his duties
following his fifth season.
Julian Edelman Patriots Jersey. The Wildcats
were 2-9 this year and 24-32 under Collums.Abilene Christian will play in a new
on-campus stadium beginning in 2017. Still transitioning from the Division II
level this school year, the program expects to be eligible for the FCS playoffs
next season.
