(STATS) -- With first place on the line in the competitive Missouri Valley Football Conference, North Dakota State and Youngstown State might have to overcome a key loss on the offensive end if they hope to pull out a critical victory. Dee Ford Super Bowl Jersey .The Penguins are focused on redeeming themselves in their second conference showdown in three weeks after falling at South Dakota State on Oct. 22, but they may have to do it without quarterback Ricky Davis due to an undisclosed injury.Hopefully, we get off to a better start (than against the Jackrabbits) and dont get put behind the eight ball, YSU coach Bo Pelini said. You dont know how the game is going to go. You just never do.North Dakota State, meanwhile, could be missing leading rusher King Frazier after he injured his ribs in Saturdays 24-20 win at Northern Iowa. X-rays were negative, but the he might have cartilage damage and is questionable to play.The Jackrabbits, Bison and Penguins are currently tied atop the MVFC, but either No. 4 North Dakota State (7-1, 4-1) or No. 15 Youngstown State (6-2, 4-1) will be knocked from that perch on Saturday at the Fargodome. The Bison have won the past four meetings, including a thrilling 27-24 road win last November.Davis went 0 for 4 passing in that contest, though he ran for 61 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. The junior has thrown for 864 yards and rushed for 340 in six games. If he cant go, Hunter Wells will make his second straight start after completing 13 of 26 passes for 101 yards with two interceptions in Saturdays 13-10 win over Indiana State.Wells, a more traditional pocket passer, has gone a combined 24 for 46 for 239 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in his two career games against the Bison.They run a lot of the same sets but the ability of the quarterback to carry the football is quite a bit different between the two guys, NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. Well have to be prepared for two guys that can do different things.Fraziers potential loss would be a big one for Kliemans squad, which is struggling offensively. The senior has run for a team-leading 579 yards and eight touchdowns. Sophomore running back Bruce Anderson is expected to miss another week.The Bison have averaged 20.7 points and 332 total yards in their last three games after putting up 31 points and 440.4 yards per contest over their first five. Sophomore quarterback Easton Stick tossed nine touchdowns and just two interceptions through the first five games, but hes now thrown just two scores with four picks over the past three.Stick threw for 176 yards and also ran in the go-ahead four-yard score with 35 seconds left in last years matchup.It certainly wont get any easier against the Penguins, who lead the conference in total defense with 276.1 total yards allowed per game. Avery Moss ranks second in the league with 8 1/2 sacks and third with 10 1/2 tackles for loss, while fellow senior defensive end Derek Rivers is third in sacks with eight and tied for fourth in TFL with nine.Its a great challenge, Klieman said. Everybody talks about their defensive ends -- theyre great players -- and Im really impressed with their front seven, but what really sets them apart is their ability to play man coverage.Youngstown State, however, is having its own troubles offensively as it ranks last in the MVFC at 23.9 points per game. The Penguins have averaged just 12.3 points in their last three after being held to 291 total yards by the Sycamores.We ran for almost 200 yards and moved the ball between the 20s a lot, Pelini said. We had opportunities for points. Obviously, we dont want to turn the football over and thats always (a concern). I thought we played better last week and did some good things, but you have to turn them into points. We just have to keep working to get better.Running backs Martin Ruiz and Jody Webb are a concern for Klieman, who saw Webb rush for a career-high 132 yards and two touchdowns on just five carries against the Bison last season. Ruiz is leading the way this year, ranking second in the conference with 86.9 rushing yards per game to go along with his seven touchdowns.YSU paces the league with an average of 237.8 rushing yards, but NDSU has held opponents to a MVFC-low 93.8 per game.Youve got to go in and earn it. It should be a good challenge, Pelini said. Richard Sherman Super Bowl Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Dre Greenlaw Super Bowl Jersey . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. http://www.thesf49ersshoponline.com/Youth-Matt-Breida-49ers-Jersey/ . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. ARLINGTON, Texas -- If New York Giants?receiver Victor Cruz had drawn up a storybook return, it mightve looked something like what unfolded in Sundays opener against the Dallas Cowboys.Cruz scored the winning touchdown for the Giants in a 20-19 victory over their NFC East rivals at AT&T Stadium. He renewed the tradition of dancing the salsa in the end zone after a score, and catching big passes from quarterback Eli Manning when the Giants needed them most.After 700 days, Cruz finally returned to a regular-season game after knee and calf injuries kept him out of the Giants previous 26 games. For it to end the way it did, it was almost surreal. Even Cruz couldnt believe it.No, to be honest with you, he said. But Im excited to have the opportunity, just excited the way my life is unfolding here. I dont even know what kind of ending its going to have.The Giants (1-0) won, Cruz scored in his return and, for one night at least, all was right in the Big Blue universe.Cruz finished with four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in his return. Finally, the Giants got a real taste of what they may receive on the field from the former Pro Bowl receiver.I was excited for him. Not just for the touchdown, but just being out there today [and] catching some passes and being in the mix, doing his deal, Manning said. So thats good for us that he can come back and make plays. He has so much experience at finding windows, finding lanes and getting back to where hes comfortable catching balls and making guys miss. Thats big for this team. Im excited for him from the standpoint that its been a long time for him, almost 700 days since his last game. Thats pretty special for him to get the game-winning touchdown in this game. ... Hes looking good, looking like his old self, and thats big for us.Its also important for Cruz. Even though he claims to have never doubted the return would happen, he knows the opportunity is special. There arent many skill-position players who have missed almost two full seasons (especially after tearing their patellar tendon) and returned to any significant degree of success.Cruz, 29, not only made it back, but he managed to score a touchdown the Giants desperately needed to give them the lead with 6:13 remaining in the contest.Just to overcome so much, man, just to get to this momennt. Frank Gore Super Bowl Jersey. A lot of people go through injuries and dont get this moment. They dont get this opportunity to get back, to reclaim what they once were and what they once had, Cruz said. Just to get this moment again is one of the biggest things for me and one of the biggest obstacles for me to cross, and Im just excited to be here and flourish.The Giants are ecstatic to have him back, and it meant something to see one of their longest-tenured players with that trademark smile on his face.So awesome. He had a rough run the past two years. To see him come through like that at the end, the entire game, its a great feeling, said veteran long-snapper Zak DeOssie, a close friend of Cruzs. Id be happy for anyone, but for him to make that big-time play, its just awesome.Cruz told DeOssie the salsa dance he did in the end zone while wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. pretended to snap a picture was one of the best hell ever do. Cruz told him he put extra pizzazz into it.This came after Cruz found a hole in the Cowboys defense while Manning began to navigate the pocket. Cruz caught the 3-yard touchdown pass and went into full-out dance mode. It appeared so natural it was almost as if hed been practicing.Its in the blood, Cruz said. It doesnt go anywhere. Its like riding a bike.But there were points throughout the past two years (including this summer) when nobody knew if hed ever really have the opportunity to dance in an end zone in a real NFL game. Manning admitted Cruz had a setback in the spring and there was a groin injury that slowed him this summer.The Giants threw Cruz right back into the mix the week of the third preseason game with an eye on this Sept. 11 opener against the Cowboys.We built Victor up to a point where he felt he could play a full game for us, coach Ben McAdoo said. Im sure hes excited. Im excited for him.Cruz played almost every offensive snap for the Giants on Sunday. He caught all four passes thrown in his direction. He scored a touchdown. He danced the salsa. It was a successful return in almost every way imaginable, and it felt great, Cruz said. Even if he had to wait a year longer than he wanted, the return was even better than he imagined. ' ' '
