STANFORD, Calif. Darren Woodson Jersey . -- Fighting to become bowl eligible this late in the season isnt something that Stanford coach David Shaw is accustomed to, which might explain his reluctance to talk about the subject.The Cardinal have won three of the last four Pac-12 championships and entered the season heavily favored to keep the trend going. Instead, Stanford (3-3, 5-3) has been a middle-of-the-pack team slowed by injuries and an inconsistent offense.A win Saturday against Oregon State (1-4, 2-6) would ease some of the sting and make Stanford bowl eligible for the sixth time since Shaw replaced Jim Harbaugh in 2011, though Shaw prefers that not be the focus.Thats for everybody outside of our small world to think about, which bowl game to think about, where you might finish, Shaw said. All we can do is try to play our best football. To look any further past the horizon is unnecessary.Stanford won the Pac-12 title in 2012, 2013 and 2015, playing in the Rose Bowl each time. The Cardinal also played in the Fiesta Bowl in Shaws first season and in the Foster Farms Bowl last year.The Rose Bowl is no longer a possibility this year, so Stanford will have to settle for playing elsewhere in the postseason.The Cardinal have history on their side against Oregon State, having won the last six games between the two conference rivals.The Beavers have lost three straight and five of six overall. They are coming off a 35-31 loss to Washington State, which is tied for the North Division lead.Well have to answer the toughness bell in this week, Oregon State coach Gary Andersen said. I think weve done a good job with that this year when weve matched up against people that want to stand up and throw some heavy, big-boy punches.Here are a few other things to look for when Stanford hosts Oregon State on Saturday afternoon:DUAL THREAT: Stanfords backfield is no longer the sole territory of 2015 Heisman Trophy candidate Christian McCaffrey. Bryce Love, who filled in when McCaffrey sat out the Oct. 22 loss to Colorado with an undisclosed injury, has continued to be a key part of the Cardinals running game now that McCaffrey is healthy. The duo combined for 247 rushing yards during last weeks win at Arizona and Shaw said he intends to continue to use both backs moving forward.UGWOEGBU BENCHED: Oregon State outside linebacker Bright Ugwoegbu will spend the first half on the bench after being flagged for targeting following a hit on Washington State quarterback Luke Falk last week. Ugwoegbu has 5 + sacks and is tied for second in the Pac-12 with 11 tackles for loss.CHRYSTS SECOND START: Junior quarterback Keller Chryst will make his second straight start after replacing inconsistent Ryan Burns against the Wildcats. Chryst, whose father Geep served as offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers in 2015, passed for 104 yards and one touchdown in his debut.NALL OR NOTHING: Sophomore running back Ryan Nall has had two big games for the Beavers this season, including last weeks loss to Washington State when he ran for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Nall rushed for a career-high 221 yards and three touchdowns against California on Oct. 8 but has only 243 yards total in his other five games this season. Charles Haley Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. Robert Newhouse Cowboys Jersey . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Bill-Bates-Jersey/ .C.

The 408-foot drive erased a 2-1 deficit and served as a wake-up call for the Cardinals, who grabbed their first lead since Saturday.The Cuban-born Diaz pointed to the sky after he crossed home plate and fell into the arms of teammate Yadier Molina. Diaz had tears in his eyes as he came out of the dugout for a curtain call.I felt some serious goose bumps when he hit that, Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright said. I almost got choked up. I know he was. He wanted to make some good swings for Jose.The emotional home run triggered an 11-run outburst in a span of three innings.Watching him cross the plate, and watching his reaction as he (shook hands) with the guys, really hit me on how much that meant to him, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said.
