San Diego State returned to the Top 25 this week after winning its sixth consecutive game. While the recognition is deserved, it may not be welcomed as much because the No. 24 Aztecs have not won a game in the last 39 years when ranked.Since 1977, San Diego State is 0-3 in games played when the Aztecs are in the Top 25.Earlier this season, the Aztecs were ranked No. 19 -- only to lose the following week 42-24 to South Alabama on Oct. 1. They were ranked in weeks four and five but had a bye week before their loss to South Alabama.Aztecs coach Rocky Long wants his team to keep things in perspective.Im sure theyre happy that we are back in the Top 25, even though I told them that it doesnt matter until the end of the season, he said. So our motivation is that we want to win the rest of the games because theres a lot of good things that can happen after the season if we can win them all. We might get to play in a New Years Day bowl game; wed be the conference champions. There are incentives out there, but the real incentive is they get to play another football game.San Diego State (9-1, 6-0 Mountain West) plays at upstart Wyoming (7-3, 5-1) on Saturday.The Cowboys are vastly improved from a year ago, when they won just two games. Wyoming is tied for first place with Boise State and New Mexico in the conferences Mountain Division.Were right in middle of this hunt, we need to recognize that, but nonetheless its going to take a really good performance to beat this football team, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said.The Cowboys are coming off a 69-66 triple-overtime loss at UNLV last week but Wyoming has knocked off one Top 25 team this season, beating Boise State at Laramie on Oct. 29.Some things to watch for in Saturdays game:LIKE TO RUN: Saturdays game features two of the top running backs in the country.San Diego States Donnel Pumphrey is No. 1 in the nation in total rushing yards with 1,779 despite not playing in the fourth quarter in three of the past four games.Wyoming back Brian Hill is third in the nation with 1,417 yards.WILL DEFENSE PREVAIL: The Cowboys are the No. 1 ranked scoring offense in the Mountain West, averaging 38.9 points a game, but the Aztecs have the top scoring defense in the conference and are No. 7 in the nation, allowing 15.2 points a game.OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: Bohl said his players recognize that a game against a team like San Diego State is a great opportunity.A win for the Cowboys will go a long way toward helping them claim the Mountain Division and getting to the conference championship game on Dec. 6. San Diego State has already won its division and has a spot in the conference championship.I know this: when you step out on that field come Saturday you better have your chin gear strapped on because its going to be a knockdown, drag out fight out there, Bohl said.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Rich Dauer Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.

Billy Ripken Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Orioles Jerseys 2019 . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. Two years ago, Jeremiah Briscoe didnt have a choice but to leave his FBS program behind. Last year, it was the same for James Tabary.Its working out awfully well for both of them in the FCS. Theyre the Southland Conferences passing leaders.Briscoe is the real breakout star thus far, recently earning a spot on the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List.Back in 2014, he was among the most highly rated prep quarterbacks in the country and took a scholarship with UAB. He appeared in six games as a freshman, but the Houston native would never take another snap for the Blazers because the university chose to drop the football program.That led to Briscoes arrival at Sam Houston State. Hes flourished in his second year there, and oddly enough, it might not be happening if it wasnt for the FBS. Thats because he split time last season with Jared Johnson, who shuffled off to UTSA of Conference USA after being named the 2015 Southland offensive player of the year.Left to run the offense on his own, Briscoe has dominated every opponent thrown his way in 2016. Hes passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in all four games. His 368.3 yards per game and 16 TD passes rank second in the FCS behind Eastern Washingtons Gage Gubrud, lifting the Bearkats to No. 2 in the STATS FCS Top 25 behind only reigning champion North Dakota State.Jeremiah has really blossomed as a quarterback and his leadership skills are special, Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler said. Its been powerful to see him take this team over. With the tempo and the confidence we play at, I think the sky is the limit for this offense.Just as Briscoe is turning what has long been a run-first offense into a pass-heavy attack, Tabary is the reason for a similar switch at McNeese.Tabary was under center for Arkansas State last year, starting three games and appearing in four others as a freshman. However, he was dismissed from the team for an undisclosed reason, though its clear it was for some type of action he took after learning he wouldnt begin this season as the starter.The Cowboys scooped him up, and Tabary won the starting job. Hes shown exactly why through five gaames, throwing for 1,438 yards and 10 touchdowns -- both second in the Southland to Briscoe.dddddddddddd Tabary is the first McNeese quarterback to throw for at least 200 yards in the first five games of a season.He continues to get better and better as hes getting familiar with the offense, and hes making it his own now which is good, first-year coach Lance Guidry said. A lot of production throughout the whole year throwing the football. James continues to get better. Hes only a sophomore, so weve got him for two more years, so the future looks bright.Tabary threw for a career-high 376 yards in last weeks win over Nicholls, helping McNeese jump to No. 20 in the STATS poll. He could be in for another big game Saturday against a Southeastern Louisiana defense which has managed only one interception through four games and hasnt sacked the quarterback in three straight.Briscoes assignment appears even easier. Hes facing Incarnate Word, which has the ninth-worst pass defense in the FCS at 318.8 yards per game and has given up 13 touchdown passes without picking one off. Briscoe helped turn Stephen F. Austin into the FCS lowest-ranked pass defense last Saturday by torching the Lumberjacks for 438 yards and seven TDs in a 63-28 win.I think my offensive coordinator told me he made two mental mistakes the entire day, Keeler said. That bodes well in our offense because we really put a lot on his shoulders to make the right decisions.... Hes the perfect signal-caller for what we do -- very smart, very accurate, great leader. The great leader part I think is the biggest part of this equation that has helped us off to a fast start.The Bearkats may be No. 2 in the rankings, but theyre second to none offensively. Their 637.8 yards per game are about 91 more than any other FCS team, and their average of 54.5 points is about a touchdown better than any other.Its really special what our offense can do when we play our best football, Briscoe said. And I think we can still continue to grow on what we did (last week). ' ' '
