MORGANTOWN, W.
L.C. Greenwood Jersey .Va. -- TCU and West
Virginia share somewhat of a kinship as the two youngest members of the Big 12.
Their head-to-head series has been close, too.Three of their four meetings since
joining the league in 2012 have been decided on the final snap. Two went to
overtime.We really have a lot of respect for each other, said TCU defensive end
Josh Carraway. Theyre going to battle their butts off, just like they know were
going to go out there and battle our butts off.No. 12 West Virginia (5-0, 2-0)
is off to a surprising start but still has to face the conferences traditional
heavyweights, starting Saturday with the Horned Frogs (4-2, 2-1). There are
showdowns later against No. 9 Baylor and No. 16 Oklahoma, which are tied for
first place at 3-0.TCU edged the Mountaineers 31-30 in 2014 and 39-38 in double
overtime in 2012 after making the 1,200-mile trip to Morgantown, so coach Gary
Patterson has a formula for beating West Virginia on the road.Score one more
point, he said.TCU is the underdog this time and will face a West Virginia team
coming off its best game of the season, a 48-17 win last Saturday at Texas Tech
.West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he told his team the next day that if
you like the feeling that youre having right now, then youve got to prepare. If
you dont prepare, then were not going to be in position to be able to win. Then
everybodys going to tell you that you suck again. Then youre going to be in a
bad mood. Its reality.TCU is 31-9 on the road since 2009. Lately, though, the
Horned Frogs have struggled anywhere they play, losing to Arkansas and Oklahoma
at home and barely winning at Kansas .On the road, its just about finding your
comfort zone, bringing your own energy, said TCU wide receiver John Diarse.
Thats tough, depending on the place. West Virginia does have a reputation of
having a hostile crowd. Weve just got to go in and be confident in what we do,
be comfortable in what we do and minimize the mistakes.---Other things to know
about the sixth-ever meeting between TCU and West Virginia:CLOSE CALLS: Both
teams have had to squeeze out some wins. TCU came from nine points down in the
fourth quarter to beat Kansas on the road two weeks ago. West Virginia beat
Kansas State by a point after the Wildcats missed a late field goal, and BYU
nearly came from 16 points down in the fourth quarter but was intercepted on its
final drive near West Virginias end zone.RB PASS CATCHER: One of the focuses for
West Virginia will be stopping TCU leading rusher Kyle Hicks, who also has a
team-best 27 receptions for 308 yards. Hes big. A thick kid, hard to bring down,
but can still run a little bit, said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony
Gibson. Hes busted a couple big runs and he catches the ball well, so they arent
afraid to use him.FACING HOMETOWN TEAM: West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard
is a native of Fort Worth, Texas. Howard has improved his passing accuracy
significantly to 66 percent and is fourth in the Big 12 with 318 yards per
game.SUSCEPTIBLE DEFENSE: TCU has allowed 40 or more points three times this
season. Two years ago when they came here, they led pretty much every defensive
category that existed, Holgorsen said. So just because theyre not, that doesnt
mean that theyre not good. Theyre really good.COMEBACK FROGS: TCU overcame
double-digit deficits against West Virginia in the second half in 2012, 2013 and
2014, losing only the 2013 game in overtime.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins

James Harrison Steelers Jersey . This should
be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money
given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those
teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can
play for a different team in the middle of their season.

. -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night
that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. PHOENIX -- The
Pac-12 season kicked off last week with No. 7 Stanfords dominating win over
Southern California in a rematch of last seasons conference title game.This
week, the conference season kicks into full gear, with every team but Oregon
State playing another Pac-12 team.With that in mind, we thought it would be a
good time to make a few predictions in the two Pac-12 divisions, based upon what
the teams have done through the seasons first three weeks.Take a look:---NORTH
DIVISIONFavorites: Stanford, No. 9 Washington. The seventh-ranked Cardinal (2-0,
1-0 Pac-12) have already established themselves as a team to beat by manhandling
USC, a team expected to contend in the South. The Cardinal have a physical
defense and one of the nations best players, Christian McCaffrey. The junior
running back was the Heisman Trophy runner-up a year ago and teams are still
having trouble slowing him down. The Huskies are a little less of a known
quantity because of their early schedule. Washington (3-0) won its first three
games by a combined score of 148-30, but the games came against
less-than-upper-tier opponents Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State. The rest of
the schedule will show just how good the Huskies are.Keep an eye on: Oregon,
California. Its hard to fault the Ducks (2-1) for losing at back-on-the-rise
Nebraska on Saturday. The problem is Oregons defense has worn down in the second
half in consecutive weeks and injuries have hit key players. Receiver Devon
Allen is out for the year with a torn ACL and the status of star running back
Royce Freeman (leg) is unknown heading into this weekends game against Colorado.
Cal, behind quarterback Davis Webb, has put up prodigious offensive numbers and
it picked up a quality win by beating then-No. 11 Texas last week. The Bears
have had some trouble on defense, though, particularly stopping the
run.Longshots: Oregon State, Washington State. The Beavers (1-2) ended a 10-game
losing streak last weekend, but that came against FCS Idaho State. They could be
back on the rise, but it may not be this season. The Cougars momentum from last
season appears to be halted after an opening loss to FCS Eastern Washington and
another to Boise SState.
Dermontti Dawson Jersey. A blowout win over
Idaho last week is a good sign, but a stretch against Oregon, Stanford and UCLA
follows Washington States bye week.---SOUTH DIVISIONFavorites: No. 24 Utah,
UCLA. The Utes (3-0) have been dominant on defense and are second nationally
with 15 sacks after piling up 10 against San Jose State last week. Utahs offense
has sputtered at times, though it seems to be improving. The Utes face a big
test this week against USC, which ended their perfect season a year ago. The
Bruins (2-1) opened the season with an overtime loss to Texas A&M and had to
eke out a three-point victory at BYU. UCLA still has one of the nations best
young quarterbacks in sophomore Josh Rosen and its defense took a big step by
shutting down the Cougars last week. A true gauge of where the Bruins stand will
come Saturday, when they host Stanford.Keep an eye on: Arizona State, Arizona.
The Sun Devils (3-0) are one of four undefeated teams left in the Pac-12, but
they have been less than dominant. Arizona State had a slow-starting win over
FCS Northern Arizona, needed 68 points to outlast Texas Tech and had to get a
late touchdown to beat UTSA last week. Upcoming games against Cal, USC and UCLA
will tell a lot about this team. The Wildcats (2-1) are trending upward after a
47-28 victory over Hawaii last Saturday. There are still issues with the defense
and the offense started slow in games against BYU and Grambling State. Up next
comes a gauntlet: Washington, UCLA, Utah, USC and Stanford.Longshots: Colorado,
USC. The Trojans (1-2, 0-1) were ranked No. 20 in the preseason and were
expected to compete with rival UCLA for the South title. Lopsided losses to
top-ranked Alabama and Stanford seem to make those expectations a bit
over-reaching. The Buffaloes looked like a team to keep an eye on after blowing
out Colorado State and Idaho State. Then came a 45-28 loss to No. 4 Michigan
that saw quarterback Sefo Liufau go down with a right ankle injury. If Liufau is
out an extended period of time, the Buffaloes could have a hard time in the
Pac-12.
