ord of 16Colorado controls its destiny in the Pac-12 South Division. Marcus Walden Jersey .?? After Utah lost to Washington while the Buffaloes enjoyed a bye week, 21st-ranked Colorado (6-2, 4-1) is alone in first place in the South heading into Thursday nights home game against UCLA, starting at 9 p.m. ET.UCLA (3-5, 1-4) was the preseason pick of the leagues media to win the division, but the Bruins have struggled in the run game and likely will be without starting quarterback Josh Rosen for a third consecutive game because of a nerve problem in his throwing shoulder.With a win, the surprising Buffaloes will match their conference victory total from their first five seasons in the league combined.?? Colorado already has accomplished one goal by qualifying for a bowl game for the first time since 2007, but bigger prizes are within reach.Theyve got everything in front of them theyve always dreamed of, and theyve worked so hard to get here, they dont take it for granted, said Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre. Its not like its a common occurrence. ... These guys will stay on each other, which is awesome.Colorado, which is coming off a 10-5 victory over Stanford on Oct. 22, has three of its final four games at home. Utah and USC, both 4-2 in the conference, are the only realistic challengers to the Buffaloes. Every other team in the South has at least four league losses.Colorado has great balance. Senior quarterback Sefo Liufau directs an offense that is 19th nationally with 495.8 yards per game. The running game has been strong; the Buffs have rushed for 247, 260, 260, 263, 315 and 224 yards in their six victories, while being held to 64 and 96 in their two losses.The Buffs defense is 12th nationally, allowing 307.8 yards per game.UCLA, meanwhile, is trying to find balance after basically abandoning the run game in its most recent game, a 52-45 loss to Utah. The Bruins running backs carried just 10 times while quarterback Mike Fafaul attempted 70 passes.Were always grinding, said offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu.Weve simplified the task, and I really believe with the young men we have all the way around -- from the linemen, tight ends, receivers and the runners -- were getting better. I really want balance to help our quarterback.Its not like UCLA doesnt have talent at running back.Sophomore Soso Jamabo was arguably the top running back prospect in the 2015 class. Nate Starks was a four-star recruit. Bolu Olorunfunmi has done some nice things.But Jamabo and Starks have each been slowed by injuries a various times, including against Utah. UCLAs top three running backs have rarely been available/healthy at the same time this season.The Bruins are last nationally in rushing at 85.5 yards per game.Still, UCLA hasnt been far off this season, losing its five games by a combined 32 points.We havent won, but we havent been blown out, said Bruins coach Jim Mora. Our guys fight. They are a bunch of fighters. I really respect that about them.Fafaul, a fifth-year senior and former walk-on, completed 40 of 70 passes for 464 yards, with five touchdowns and four interceptions, in the loss to Utah on Oct. 22. His focus in practice has been efficiency -- not forcing anything. Fafaul has thrown eight interceptions in 122 pass attempts.Colorado ranks second in the Pac-12 with 11 interceptions. Cornerback Tedrick Thompson has four of them. The other corner, Chidobe Awuzie, is a potential mid-round draft pick, according to NFLDraftScout.com.The Buffaloes have held two of five conference foes without a touchdown this season.Liufau, who missed three starts this season because of an ankle injury, has taken every snap in the past two games. He is riding a school-record streak of 148 consecutive passes without an interception.Colorado running back Phillip Lindsay is third in the conference with 93.1 rushing yards per game. He has rushed for 350 yards in his past two outings.To be able to just watch our running backs break big runs, I know I dont have to do as much, Liufau said. I dont have to go out there and think that I have to make play after play after play just to keep us in a game.UCLAs run defense has been good at times this season, but the Bruins allowed Utahs Joe Williams to run wild for 332 yards.The Bruins have won all five meetings with Colorado in conference play, but the past two were decided by four and three points.I think they have been making steady progress with Coach Mac, Mora said. The last two years, they have been great games. We kind of squeaked them out. Wade Boggs Red Sox Jersey . After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike. Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. Josh Taylor Red Sox Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards.  MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. https://www.cheapredsox.com/1381z-steve-pearce-jersey-red-sox.html . Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- These are not proud times for the Big 12.The league overall has been a disappointment, going 15-11 against nonconference opponents over the first three weeks.The .577 winning percentage ranks last among the Power 5 conferences and sixth among all FBS conferences, while the 15 wins are eighth among the 10 leagues.The Big Ten leads the way at 79 percent, followed by the Southeastern Conference, the Pac 12, American and the Atlantic Coast Conference.I look around the country and theres a lot of surprises that take place, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Monday. Coaches understand that theyre vulnerable every time they get on the field.And all that preseason talk of again making the four-team College Football Playoff needs to be put on hold, at least for now. First, the Big 12 needs to get into position. The conference has no team ranked in the top 15.I hope its too early to figure it out, said Baylor interim coach Jim Grobe. A lot of teams have at the first of the year started a little sluggishly. We are no different than everybody else. We hope as we go through the season we get better and better.Oklahoma made the playoff a year ago despite losing to Texas. After falling to Houston and Ohio State this month, the 25th-ranked Sooners are 1-2 for the first time since 2005, and now coach Bob Stoops is using a bye week to shift his teams focus on winning a conference championship.As far as goals go, thats always a major one for us, Stoops said.No. 16 Baylor (3-0) and West Virginia (2-0) are the leagues only remaining unbeaten teams.Coach Charlie Strong of No. 21 Texas (2-1) said the Big 12 will be fine, while Oklahoma States Mike Gundy said it will be several weeks before the football playoff committee starts taking an in-depth look at individual team performances.Weve got to play our games, keep going and do the best we can, Gundy said.Oklahoma State (2-1) hosts Baylor on Saturday in a game that will give early momentum in the league race. Four other teams continue nonconference play, and Kansas, Texas Tech and Texas joinn Oklahoma in having a bye week. Craig Kimbrel Red Sox Jersey. Some other notes from around the Big 12:-Premature celebrations: Stoops said he planned to talk to Joe Mixon about dropping the ball short of the goal line on a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown Saturday against Ohio State. The touchdown stood.Against Texas, Cals Vic Enwere did the same thing at the end of a 55-yard run. Cal retained possession and ran out the clock to win 50-43.When you score, just hand the ball to an official, Strong said. Act like youve been there before.TCUs Gary Patterson said if one of his players does that, they just need to keep running up our tunnel.-Louisvilles Lamar Jackson: The Cardinals quarterback has launched himself into early Heisman Trophy chatter. The only player ahead of him in total offense is Texas Techs Patrick Mahomes at 544 yards per game. Jackson is at 459.Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury gives Jackson his due.That kids phenomenal, Kingsbury said. Lamar has had some nationally televised games and beat a very good Florida State team. I think if Patrick just continues to improve and does what hes been doing against the competition (that) continues to get stiffer as we move into conference, all that stuff will take care of itself.-TCUs KaVontae Turpin. Patterson declined to disclose the status of the wide receiver and returner who was helped off the field in TCUs 41-20 win over Iowa State. Turpin entered the game leading the nation in all-purpose yards at 236 per game.Patterson said Turpin has a leg injury and hopefully well get him back in the future.-Kansas turnovers. Coach David Beaty isnt pleased that his team has 11 turnovers in three games. But he points out the Jayhawks have surrendered just 22 points off those turnovers.Thats amazing what our defense has been able to do, he said. If we can just minimize those mistakes, that will help us get into the win column.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' ' t in 2011.W
