				<title><![CDATA[Ballesteros remains hospitalized]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[By Sarah Gwynn
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer

MADRID, Spain (Ticker) -- Seve Ballesteros remained in the 
hospital on Saturday, with the results of tests carried out on 
the golfer expected over the weekend.

The 51-year-old collapsed unconscious at Madrid airport on 
Monday and was taken to hospital, where he remained in intensive
care while doctors conducted brain scans.

La Paz hospital released a statement yesterday confirming the 
Spaniard had suffered "a partial epileptic fit" but said he had 
left intensive care and was in "a stable condition".

The five-time major winner's family have stopped taking phone 
calls and it is understood his three children are flying into 
the capital this weekend to be by his side, amid fears he has a 
serious illness.

Ballesteros posted a reassuring message on his web site during 
the week, saying he was "awaiting the results of tests" and 
thanking well-wishers for their support.

However, since then it has been reported the star, who retired 
last year, is gravely ill.

European Tour players competing in the Madrid Masters across the
city would not be drawn on the matter, opting not to comment 
until a diagnosis had been made.

"I do not want to talk about Seve until we know more details on 
what is going on," said Jose Maria Olazabal, who was mentored by
Ballesteros in his early career.

Those sentiments were echoed by fellow Spaniard Miguel Angel 
Jimenez,

"I cannot say anything because I don't know what's going on," 
Jimenez said.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Top-seeded Nalbandian reaches Stockholm final]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Ticker) -- David Nalbandian had little 
trouble reaching the final of the Stockholm Open on Saturday.

The top-seeded Argentine needed just 64 minutes to dispatch of 
Finnish third seed Jarko Nieminen, 6-2, 6-1, in one of two 
Saturday semifinal matches slated at the hardcourt event.

Nalbandian, who crushed seventh-seeded Spaniard Albert Montanes,
6-3, 6-2, in the quarterfinals, remains a strong favorite here 
considering he is the only top-30 player in the field.

Despite surrendering his serve for just the first time this week
in the first set, Nalbandian hit back with six breaks of the 
Nieminen serve to extend his head-to-head lead over the Finn to 
6-4.

Nalbandian has an 8-8 record in ATP finals and is bidding to win
his second title this year after clinching the Buenos Aires 
trophy in February.  He also finished runner-up at Acapulco the 
following week.

"I think I played a great match, didn't miss one shot in two 
sets," said Nalbandian. "I hope to play the same way tomorrow."

The world No. 7 will attempt to stay on course for his ninth 
career title when he faces either fourth-seeded Swede Robin 
Soderling who dismantled Japanese wild card Kei Nishikori, 6-1, 
6-0.

Nalbandian leads the head-to-head series 4-1, winning most 
recently at the Davis Cup World Group quarterfinals on clay in 
April.  He also won their only previous hard court matchup at 
Masters Series Madrid four years ago.

Soderling is through to his eighth career ATP final where he has
a 2-5 record.  It's his second final in Stockholm after 
finishing runner-up to Mardy Fish in 2003.

The 18-year-old Nishikori, who upset No. 8 Marcel Granollers in 
the opening round, had advanced to an ATP semifinal for the 
first since his remarkable title run at Delray Beach in 
February.

Nishikori upset top-seeded James Blake in the final of that 
event, becoming the first Japanese player since 1992 to win on 
tour.

First prize is $156,000.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Jankovic reaches Kremlin Cup finals]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[MOSCOW (Ticker) -- Jelena Jankovic made sure there would be a 
new champion at the Kremlin Cup on Saturday.

The top-seeded Serbian stormed back from an atrocious first set 
to earn a 0-6, 6-1, 6-0 victory against local favorite, No. 3 
seed Elena Dementieva at this $1.34 million event.

The victory extended Jankovic's winning streak to 11 matches as 
she ousted the defending champion Dementieva in 77 minutes.  She
next will face seventh seed Vera Zvonareva, who defeated 
second-seeded Dinara Safina, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5), in an all-Russian 
semifinal.

Jankovic, who overtook Serena Williams for the No. 1 ranking on 
Monday, is seeking her third title in as many events.  Any 
thoughts of claiming the championship at this hardcourt 
tournament seemed unlikely after the 23-year-old lost each of 12
return points in the first set while winning just five of 20 
service points.

But, Jankovic, quickly rebounded, winning six of 11 break 
points, over the next two sets to earn the victory and advance 
to her sixth final of the season.

The win was Jankovic's sixth in nine career meetings against 
Dementieva, who was seeking her fourth trip to the finals in 12 
lifetime appearances at her hometown event.

First prize is $196,900.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Stroud leads at Texas Open]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- Chris Stroud sits atop the leaderboard 
entering the third round at the Texas Open on Saturday.

Stroud shot a 6-under-par 64 on Friday, taking a two-stroke lead
at La Cantera Golf Club's Resort Course in the $4.5 million 
event.

Entering the second round in a tie for 10th place, Stroud 
registered seven birdies to just one bogey to finish 10-under 
after the second round.

Stroud, 26, birdied the first hole but collected a bogey on the 
next hole.

The Lamar University product was nearly flawless from there, 
birdying three more holes before the turn and then picking up 
another three birdies on the back nine.

Paul Goydos, Tim Petrovic and Tim Herron are tied for second at 
8-under.  Goydos shot a 4-under 66 for the second straight day, 
while Petrovic turned in a 5-under 65 and Herron delivered a 67.

Nathan Green, who held the lead entering play Friday, followed 
up his impressive 8-under 62 on Thursday with a 75.

Kevin Streelman enjoyed the best day, shooting a 29 on the front
nine and finishing with a 7-under 63.  He is among nine players 
tied for fourth at 7-under.

Matt Jones, Olin Browne, Rory Sabbatini, Jimmy Walker, Michael 
Thompson and Joe Ogilvie all finished 36 holes tied with 
Streelman.

One of the oldest stops on the PGA Tour, the Texas Open is the 
third of seven Fall Series events on the schedule.  The event 
will move to a spring date next season and be a part of a 
three-event tour swing through the Lone Star State.

Defending champion Justin Leonard barely made the cut and is 
among a group of eight players tied for 68th at 1-under.  A 
Texas native, Leonard defeated Jesper Parnevik on the third hole
of a playoff here in 2007.

First prize is $810,000.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Kim in front, Ochoa lurking in Danville]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[DANVILLE, California (Ticker) - In-Kyung Kim owns a slim lead 
entering Saturday's third round at the Longs Drugs Challenge.

Kim recorded four birdies and carded a 3-under par 69 on Friday 
in the second round of the $1.2 million event.

The South Korean holds a one-shot lead over Mollie Fankhauser 
and a two-stroke lead over world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa, who denied 
Kim her first win last season.

The 21-year-old has five top 10 finishes - including a 
third-place showing at the U.S. Open in June.  Kim's best 
placing came last year at Wegman's when she finished second 
after losing a playoff to Ochoa.

After beginning Friday one shot back of the lead, Kim recorded 
four birdies on the front nine and pared her last hole for a 33 
at the turn.

The second-year pro stumbled at No. 10 as she bogeyed the par-4,
but responded by making pars the rest of the way and is at 
8-under 136 after two rounds.

The 26-year-old Mexican Ochoa is third at 4-under 68 after 
firing seven birdies and an eagle.  Ochoa, who also bogeyed four
holes, is at 6-under par 138.

The leader on the money list, Ochoa is looking for her second 
win in three weeks.

She trails Fankhauser, who fired a 4-under 68.  Fankhauser 
recorded six birdies, but sprinkled in a pair of bogeys and is 
at 7-under 137.

Angela Stanford, who birdied two of her last three holes, is 
fourth after a 3-under 69 left her at 139.

Meanwhile, defending champion Suzann Pettersen had an 
up-and-down day and is in a three-way tie for fifth.  Pettersen,
who held off Ochoa in a playoff here last year, was undone by 
three bogeys and finished at even-par 72.

Pettersen is tied with Yani Tseng (140), Kristy McPherson (140) 
and Charlotte Mayorkas (140).

First prize is $180,000.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Crenshaw atop leaderboard at Senior Players Championship]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[TIMONIUM, Maryland (Ticker) -- Ben Crenshaw is alone in first 
place entering Saturday's third round at the Senior Players 
Championship.

Crenshaw reeled off four birdies in a seven-hole stretch en 
route to a 4-under-par 66 and a one-shot lead over Fred Funk on 
Friday.

A non-winner on the Champions Tour, Crenshaw is at 134 following
his opening-round 67 in the final major of the season. His 
previous best finish this year was a tie for third at the 
Toshiba Classic in March.

Crenshaw had bogeyed the final hole on Thursday to leave him two
shots off the lead.  But he put together a brilliant back nine 
Friday at Baltimore Country Club's Five Farms East Course.

The two-time Masters champion had birdies at Nos. 11, 12, 15 and
17 to keep him one shot clear of Funk (68), whose five birdies 
were offset by three bogeys.

Gene Jones (66) and Tom Jenkins (68) are tied for third place at
5-under 135, while a trio of major champions are among four 
players at 136.

Mark O'Meara (67) made a quick move up the leaderboard with five
birdies in a six-hole stretch before a pair of late bogeys 
dropped him into a tie with John Morse (68) Bernhard Langer (70)
and Nick Price (66), who posted a bogey-free round.

The three first-round co-leaders all had tough days.  Phil 
Blackmar carded a 73 and dropped five shots off the lead while 
Des Smyth and Bruce Fleisher each signed for 75s to tumbled 
seven shots back.

Jay Haas, the Schwab Cup points leader, shot an even-par 70 and 
is among four players at 137. Haas, who has two wins this 
season, has held the top spot in the Schwab Cup for 10 of the 
last 12 weeks.

Defending champion Loren Roberts, who posted a six-stroke 
victory here last year, carded a 71 to put him at 1-under 139.

The $2.6 million event is Roberts' last chance at capturing a 
major championship for the fourth straight season.  He has eight
career titles on the senior circuit, including one this season 
at the Commerce Bank Championship in June.

First prize is $390,000.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Myers sparks offensive attack for Phils]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[By Vince DiGregorio
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer

The Philadelphia Phillies' high-powered offense is starting to 
get in gear.  What's strange is the players revving the engine.

The Phillies have 18 hits after two games in the National League
Championship Series, with three players combining for half the 
total.

If you chose among the top six hitters in the lineup - Ryan 
Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, Jayson Werth 
and Shane Victorino - as the three teammates most likely to be 
doing the damage, you'd only have one correct answer: Burrell.

The other two are Carlos Ruiz, who batted .219 in the regular 
season, and starting pitcher Brett Myers.

Myers got the call in Game Two of the NLCS against the Los 
Angeles Dodgers on Friday and was the key to the Philadelphia's 
8-5 victory, though it had little to do with the righthander's 
prowess on the mound.

He allowed five runs and six hits while walking four but was a 
key part to the offensive attack, going 3-for-3 and driving in 
three runs.

Myers had no explanation for his sudden offensive outburst.

"I actually looked in the dugout and shrugged my shoulders like 
I don't know what's going on," Myers said.

Myers had four hits in 58 at-bats during the regular season and 
already has four in this postseason, including one he got in the
division series against Milwaukee.

"I've got four hits all year and I go out there and now I've got
four in the postseason," Myers said.  "I'm actually baffled as 
to what's going on, too.  I just can't explain it."

Myers has three more hits in the NLCS than Howard, who is 
0-for-8 after two games.

He has as many hits as Manny Ramirez, although the Dodgers' 
slugger did touch Myers for a three-run blast in the fourth 
inning on Friday.

The Phillies, who had scored in a total of seven innings over 
their first five playoff games, finally put together two big 
innings, scoring four runs in each the second and third in Game 
Two.

Both games at Citizens Bank Park were also played in relatively 
balmy weather this time of year in Philadelphia, with 
temperatures in the low 70's instead of the normally chilly 
October nights.

The only predictable thing in the series so far has been the 
passion of the Philadelphia fans, who had plenty of chances to 
go into a towel-waving frenzy to spark their team.

As the series shifts to Los Angeles, the Phillies are hoping the
bats stay in the fast lane.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Fresh off comeback, Kansas hosts Colorado]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Colorado (3-2) at (15) Kansas (4-1), 12:30 pm EDT

LAWRENCE, Kansas (Ticker) -- Todd Reesing knows he can bring 
Kansas back from a large deficit.  The junior quarterback just 
hopes he doesn't have to in the Jayhawks' next game.

Reesing and the 15th-ranked Jayhawks seek their third 
consecutive victory Saturday when they host Colorado in a Big 12
Conference matchup.

Reesing was not flustered by an abysmal start last weekend, 
throwing for three second-half touchdowns as Kansas overcame a 
20-point halftime deficit en route to a wild 35-33 victory over 
Iowa State.

The Jayhawks committed three turnovers and managed just five 
first downs in falling into a 20-0 hole at halftime.  But 
Reesing led an offensive explosion in the second half, 
connecting on touchdown passes of 67, 23 and 2 yards.

Reesing completed 10-of-12 passes for 260 yards over the final 
two quarters after going 8-of-14 for 59 yards and an 
interception in the first half.

Jake Sharp rushed for a TD and caught another score for the 
Jayhawks (4-1, 1-0 Big 12 North), who scored on five of their 
seven second-half possessions.  Sharp had three catches for 107 
yards and carried 19 times for 79 yards.

Kansas may have a hard time maintaining its focus on the 
Buffaloes (3-2, 0-1 North) with a trip to Norman against No. 1 
Oklahoma looming the following week.

Colorado received a first-hand look at a Big 12 powerhouse last 
week.  The Buffaloes managed just 49 yards rushing while 
quarterback Cody Hawkins was sacked three times during a 38-14 
loss to Texas.

Hawkins, who was under pressure most of the game, finished 
13-of-33 for 118 yards and one touchdown.  The son of Colorado 
coach Dan Hawkins, Cody has passed for 926 yards and 10 scores 
with four interceptons this season.

The Buffaloes are trying to avoid their third consecutive loss.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Utah looks to avoid emotional letdown against Wyoming]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(13) Utah (6-0) at Wyoming (2-4), 2:00 pm EDT

LARAMIE, Wyoming (Ticker) -- Eleven months may not have done 
much to change the fates of Mountain West Conference rivals Utah
and Wyoming.

The 13th-ranked Utes try to keep their unbeaten season alive 
Saturday when they visit the Cowboys.

As was the case last season, Utah (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West) is in
contention for a conference title while Wyoming 2-4, 0-3) is 
struggling just to stay out of the basement.

But that did not stop Wyoming head coach Joe Glenn from 
guaranteeing an upset victory before last year's tilt in Salt 
Lake City in what proved to be a case of misplaced optimism.  
The Utes erupted for 505 yards of total offense and scored 30 
second-quarter points en route to a 50-0 blowout.

The game took an ugly turn in the third quarter, when Utah coach
Kyle Whittingham called for an onside kick with his team holding
a 43-0 lead.  The move clearly did not sit well with Glenn, who 
was caught on television making an inappropriate gesture to the 
Utah sideline.

Both coaches later apologized for their respective actions.  
This year, Wyoming would love nothing more than to play spoiler 
for a Utah squad chasing a BCS bowl berth.

The Cowboys have scored a total of just three points in three 
conference games this season, including shutouts at the hands of
eighth-ranked Brigham Young and New Mexico.

On the first play from scrimmage of last week's 24-0 loss to the
Lobos, Cowboys quarterback Karsten Sween threw an interception 
that was returned 13 yards for a touchdown.

The Utes, meanwhile, have had little trouble putting points on 
the board.  They enter this contest averaging 37.2 points per 
game.

But the Utes are coming off a close call from last weekend, when
they nearly squandered a double-digit lead in a 31-28 triumph 
over Oregon State.

Utah's Brian Johnson quarterbacked two scoring drives in the 
final 2:11 of the game to rally the Utes.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Texas Tech seeks 6-0 start against Nebraska]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Nebraska (3-2) at (7) Texas Tech (5-0), 3:00 pm EDT

LUBBOCK, Texas (Ticker) -- Despite being 5-0 for the fifth time 
in school history, Texas Tech is far from satisfied.

After overcoming a shaky start at Kansas State last week, the 
seventh-ranked Red Raiders return home Saturday to host Nebraska
in a Big 12 Conference contest.

Texas Tech (5-0, 1-0 Big 12 South) found itself tied with the 
Wildcats early in the second quarter before pulling away for a 
58-28 victory.  In the win, Graham Harrell became the Red 
Raiders' all-time passer leader.

"That's just one step," wide receiver Michael Crabtree said.  
"We've got a lot more to do.  I'm looking forward to that."

Harrell raised his career passing total to 12,709 yards, 
surpassing Kliff Kingsbury, who threw for 12,429 yards at Texas 
Tech from 1999-2002.

"I've had great receivers here and the offensive line has been 
great to me," Harrell said.  "I've played in 30-some games here 
and only been sacked around 30 times."

One of those receivers is Crabtree, who already has 30 touchdown
receptions midway through his sophomore season to tie the school
record held by Jarrett Hicks.  Harrell and Crabtree hooked up 
for a pair of scores against Kansas State.

A victory over Nebraska (3-2, 0-1 Big 12 North) will give the 
Red Raiders their fourth 6-0 start in school history but their 
second since 2005.

After giving up two early touchdowns to Kansas State, Texas Tech
held its third straight opponent under 300 total yards.  Still, 
it's the Red Raiders' potent offense that could pose more 
problems for Nebraska's battered defense, which is still reeling
following last week's 52-17 loss to Missouri.

The Cornhuskers have surrendered 87 points in back-to-back 
losses to Virginia Tech and Missouri.  Now they have to face a 
Texas Tech team that is third in the Football Bowl Subdivision 
in scoring, averaging 52.6 points per game.

Nebraska first-year coach Bo Pelini did not take the loss to 
Missouri well.

"I'm not used to losing," he said.  "I'm not used to getting 
beat soundly.  I apologize to the state of Nebraska, I apologize
to everybody associated with the University of Nebraska football
and it's my responsibility."

The Cornhuskers have dropped seven of their last nine conference
games after finishing tied for last place in the Big 12 North 
last season.

Nebraska holds a 7-2 all-time edge against Texas Tech, but the 
Red Raiders have won the last two meetings, including a 34-31 
victory in Lincoln in 2005.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Bradford, Oklahoma meet McCoy, Texas in Red River Rivalry]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(1) Oklahoma (5-0) vs. (5) Texas (5-0), 12:00 pm EDT

DALLAS (Ticker) -- Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy have thrust 
themselves to the top of most Heisman Trophy watch lists.  The 
quarterbacks can strengthen their respective Heisman bids - and 
give their teams a major boost in the Big 12 Conference - in the
latest edition of the Red River Rivalry.

Bradford and top-ranked Oklahoma square off with McCoy and No. 5
Texas in Saturday's 103rd meeting between these fierce Big 12 
South Division rivals.

The contest will mark the fourth time in the last eight seasons 
that both the Sooners (5-0, 1-0 Big 12 South) and Longhorns 
(5-0, 1-0) are ranked inside the top five heading into their 
annual grudge match.

Last year, both powerhouse programs entered the Cotton Bowl 
reeling from upset losses in their previous games.

But thanks to Bradford and McCoy, Oklahoma and Texas will bring 
unbeaten records into this contest for the first time since 2004
- when the Sooners grinded out a 12-0 shutout of the Longhorns.

"We'll have everybody in America talking about the game, and 
that's what we all want," Texas coach Mack Brown said.  "It's 
fun.  It's what Texas and OU have wanted forever, and we have 
got it back."

Bradford arguably is the early front-runner for the Heisman 
courtesy of an incredible five-game stretch in which he has 
completed just under 73 percent of his passes for 1,665 yards 
and 18 touchdowns against just three interceptions.

Not to be outdone, McCoy has connected on over 79 percent of his
attempts for 1,280 yards and 16 TDs with just three 
interceptions.  The redshirt junior also is Texas' leading 
rusher with 317 yards and four scores.

"(McCoy) does a great job," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.  
"Colt's a great competitor, great athlete, excellent thrower.  
He's a sharp guy.  We've got to be really sharp competing 
against him."

McCoy passed for 262 yards and two TDs last weekend as the 
Longhorns coasted past Colorado, 38-14, in their Big 12 opener.

Chris Ogbonnaya gained 187 yards from scrimmage and scored twice
for Texas, which clearly did not get caught looking ahead to its
showdown with the Sooners.  Last year, the Longhorns were 
stunned at home by Kansas State in the game prior to the Red 
River Rivalry.

Oklahoma entered last year's contest in similar fashion 
following a shocking upset loss at Colorado.  But the Sooners 
did not fall into that trap this year, as they steamrolled 
Baylor, 49-17, last weekend.

Bradford passed for 372 yards and two TDs and also ran for a 
score as the Sooners raced to a 35-7 lead in the second quarter.

Texas owns a 57-40-5 record in the all-time series, but Oklahoma
has won six of the last eight meetings.

Bradford emerged as a legitimate college star in last year's Red
River Rivalry game, passing for 244 yards and three touchdowns 
to lead the Sooners to a 28-21 victory.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Vanderbilt eyeing first 6-0 start since 1928]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(14) Vanderbilt (5-0) at Mississippi State (1-4), 2:30 pm EDT

STARKVILLE, Mississippi (Ticker) -- Vanderbilt has not had six 
wins in a season since 1982.  It has been much longer since the 
Commodores started a season 6-0.

The 14th-ranked Commodores can accomplish both feats Saturday 
when they visit Southeastern Conference rival Mississippi State.

A great performance from a backup quarterback helped Vanderbilt 
get off to a 5-0 start for the first time in 65 years.  Mackenzi
Adams tossed two touchdowns last Saturday night, rallying the 
Commodores to a 14-13 upset of Auburn.

"Obviously, it was a big win for us, and it was a tough battle,"
Vanderbilt head coach Bobby Johnson said.  "But I'm proud of how
are guys hung in there, because the first quarter was kind of a 
scare.  But we came fighting back."

Playing as a ranked team for the fourth time since World War II,
the Commodores (5-0, 3-0 SEC East) overcame an early 13-point 
deficit after starting quarterback Chris Nickson left the 
contest midway through the second quarter.

A junior, Adams completed 13-of-23 passes for 152 yards with no 
interceptions and rushed for 49 yards in relief.  He found 
Justin Wheeler on a 15-yard TD pass in the second quarter and 
then connected with Brandon Barden on a 1-yard score in the 
third to give Vanderbilt the lead.

With a win this Saturday, Vanderbilt would be 6-0 for the first 
time since 1928.

The Bulldogs (1-4, 0-2 SEC West) are looking to avoid a fourth 
consecutive loss.  Vanderbilt should not be fooled by the 
record, because Mississippi State has played both Auburn and 
Louisiana State tough.

Junior Tyson Lee has taken over at quarterback for the Bulldogs,
the surprise SEC team last season when they finished 8-5.

Lee made the first start of his collegiate career two weeks ago,
passing for 175 yards and one touchdown during a 34-24 loss to 
LSU.

Despite the inexperience, Lee has not been mistake-prone so far.
He has completed 66 percent (47-of-71) of his passes for 466 
yards with no interceptions this season.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[After bye week, Georgia hopes to rebound from loss]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Tennessee (2-3) at (10) Georgia (4-1), 3:30 pm EDT

ATHENS, Georgia (Ticker) -- Georgia's bye week may have come at 
a good time.  It gave the Bulldogs a chance to recover from the 
beating they received from Alabama.

Georgia, which dropped seven spots to No. 10 following a 41-30 
loss to the Crimson Tide, hosts Tennessee on Saturday in a 
Southeastern Conference contest, the second of three straight 
home games for the Bulldogs.

The defeat to Alabama, which snapped Georgia's 11-game winning 
streak, was not as close as the score indicated.  The Bulldogs 
trailed, 31-0, at the half.  Alabama held sophomore Knowshon 
Moreno, the third-leading rusher in the SEC, to 34 yards, the 
second-lowest total of his career.

"It was good for us to have a few days to reflect and get over 
the grief a little bit and to refocus," Georgia coach Mark Richt
said.

The Bulldogs (4-1, 1-1 SEC East) now find themselves behind 
surprising Vanderbilt, which emerged as the only unbeaten team 
in the SEC East following its win over Auburn last week.

"You hate to say you've got to refocus, but we do," Richt added.
"I think we see where we are.  We're still No. 10 in the nation.
We're still very much in control of our destiny as far as the 
Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference."

Georgia, the most-penalized team in the SEC coming into the 
Alabama game, was twice flagged for roughing-the-passer 
penalties in the first half.

"If we can play a more disciplined brand of football and 
continue to improve fundamentally, I think we can get right back
on track," Richt said.

Before they were manhandled by Alabama, the Bulldogs' previous 
loss was a 35-14 defeat at Tennessee last season, a result that 
cost them a spot in the SEC championship.

The Bulldogs may have been the best team in the country at the 
end of the season, winning their final seven games, including a 
41-10 rout of Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.

But the loss to Tennessee kept the Bulldogs out of the SEC title
game, since they also lost a tiebreaker to the Volunteers, who 
won the SEC East.

Georgia will look to rebound this week against a Tennessee team 
that is still searching for an identity.  The Volunteers (2-3, 
0-2 SEC East) took a breather from SEC play last week, but still
struggled to get past Northern Illinois of the Football 
Championship Subdivision, 13-9.

Prior to that, however, Tennessee suffered back-to back 
conference losses to Florida and Auburn, falling to 1-3. Nick 
Stephens started at quarterback last Saturday for the Volunteers
and completed 10-of-17 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Ohio State seeks to move back into top 10]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Purdue (2-3) at (11) Ohio State (5-1), 3:30 pm EDT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- Ohio State is on the verge of moving 
back into the top 10.

The 11th-ranked Buckeyes, who have recovered from their 
embarrassing 35-3 loss at Southern California on September 13, 
seek their fourth straight victory Saturday when they host 
Purdue in a Big Ten Conference clash.

Ohio State (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) may have saved its season last 
week, rallying for a 20-17 victory at Wisconsin.

Terrelle Pryor rushed for an 11-yard touchdown with 68 seconds 
remaining to cap an 80-yard drive as the Buckeyes snapped the 
Badgers' 16-game home winning streak, which had been the 
second-longest active streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision 
behind Oklahoma.

Ohio State also handed Wisconsin its first home loss under 
third-year coach Brett Bielema.

More importantly, the Buckeyes have tailback Chris "Beanie" 
Wells healthy as they can now take a run at a third straight 
outright  Big Ten title.

Wells rushed for 168 yards and a touchdown against the Badgers 
and has gained 274 yards in two games after missing three 
contests with a toe injury.

Pryor, a 19-year-old freshman, also has sparked the Buckeyes 
after taking over for senior Todd Boeckman three games ago.  
Pryor and Wells have started together for the past two contests,
giving Ohio State a dual threat in the backfield.

Pryor completed 13-of-19 passes for 144 yards against Wisconsin.
He also ran for 20 yards, including the game-winning score.

"He's coming of age," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said.  "I 
don't know if anyone has come of age, but he's improving."

"It was incredible the way he handled that last drive,"  Wells 
added.  "He's a special player, and he has so many great things 
ahead of him."

Purdue (2-3, 0-1) has dropped two straight, including a 20-6 
loss to Penn State last week in which quarterback Curtis Painter
was held to a season-low 112 yards passing.

The Boilermakers still lead the Big Ten in passing yards (254.2 
yards per game), but Ohio State is 14th against the pass in the 
Football Bowl Subdivision, allowing only 155 yards per game 
through the air.

Painter attempted 60 passes, but completed only 31 for 268 yards
in last season's 23-7 loss to Ohio State.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Unbeaten Northwestern gets test vs. Ringer, Michigan State]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(19) Michigan State (5-1) at (22) Northwestern (5-0), 3:30 pm EDT

EVANSTON, Illinois (Ticker) -- Northwestern has been winning 
with defense, but that task gets much tougher this Saturday.

The 22nd-ranked Wildcats seek their first 6-0 start since 1962 
when they host Javon Ringer and No. 19 Michigan State in a Big 
Ten Conference showdown Saturday.

Capitalizing on a somewhat weak schedule, Northwestern has held 
opponents to a conference-low 62 points against.  The defense 
made plays again two weeks ago to help the Wildcats extend their
best start in 46 years.

C.J. Bacher passed for 284 yards and three touchdowns and the 
defense forced five turnovers as Northwestern overcame a 
14-point deficit and defeated Iowa, 22-17, on September 27 in 
its conference opener.

Rasheed Ward added a career-high 10 receptions for 94 yards and 
a touchdown for the Wildcats (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who kept the 
Hawkeyes out of the end zone on four chances inside the 10-yard 
line with less than two minutes left.

Northwestern cannot afford to get behind against the Spartans 
(5-1, 2-0), who have won five straight contests after losing 
their season opener to California.

There has been no secret to Michigan State's success this 
season.  The Spartans will go as far as Ringer can carry them.

Ringer is coming off his worst performance of the campaign, but 
Michigan State managed a 16-13 triumph over Iowa last Saturday. 
Ringer was kept out of the end zone for the first time this 
year, rushing for 91 yards on 25 carries.

Ringer is still tied for the lead in the nation with 12 
touchdowns this season, and the Wildcats will be hard-pressed to
keep him out of the end zone for a second straight week.

The senior has been the Spartans' workhorse in 2008, rushing for
988 yards on 212 carries.  With six regular-season games still 
left on the schedule, Ringer is just 33 attempts shy of his 
total from last season.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Back on track, Southern California hosts Arizona State]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Arizona State (2-3) at Southern California (3-1), 3:30 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Southern California thinks it has 
regained some of its swagger.

Fresh off a 44-10 win over Oregon, the ninth-ranked Trojans host
Arizona State on Saturday in a Pac-10 Conference battle of teams
with banged up quarterbacks.

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez suffered a bone bruise in his lift 
knee in the Trojans' rout of the Ducks and is listed as 
day-to-day.  The junior missed practice Monday, but there is no 
structural damage in the knee and he hopes to play this weekend.

Sanchez has passed for 1,069 yards, 13 touchdowns and three 
interceptions this season.  If he is unable to go against the 
Sun Devils, USC (3-1, 1-1 Pac-10) will turn to Mitch Mustain, a 
transfer from Arkansas.

The outlook for Arizona State senior quarterback Rudy Carpenter 
is less promising, putting his streak of 36 consecutive starts 
in jeopardy.  Carpenter has a sprained left ankle and is listed 
as questionable.

"First of all, we need to get the OK from the doctor, and then, 
see how he moves out there," Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson
said.  "I'm not going to put him on the field unless he has the 
mobility to be able to move and throw.  He has to be pretty 
close to 100 percent."

Carpenter suffered the injury in last week's 24-14 loss at 
California.  He completed 20-of-35 passes for only 165 yards 
with a touchdown and two interceptions.

"It (the injury) happened early in the fourth quarter, and I 
obviously played the rest of the game," Carpenter said.  "After 
the game, I felt OK, but as soon as I took my shoe off at the 
end of the game, it started to hurt.  So, I was a little worried
about it and feared the worst, but after a couple of days have 
gone by, it's felt a little bit better each day."

Carpenter's injury is more bad news for the Sun Devils (2-3, 
1-1), who have dropped three in a row.  They also have lost 
eight straight games against the Trojans.

If Carpenter is unable to suit up, junior Danny Sullivan would 
make his first career start against USC.  Sullivan has attempted
only eight passes this season, completing just one.

After suffering a 27-21 loss at Oregon State on September 25, 
the Trojans bounced back with an easy win over Oregon.  Sanchez 
completed 19-of-28 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns - 
all in the second quarter.

"This is exactly what we were looking to do," USC coach Pete 
Carroll said.  "This is the game we were hoping for. Everybody 
responded and played like we know how to play."

Sanchez was named Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Week for the 
third time this season.  No USC player has ever earned the honor
four times in the same year.

The Trojans are seeking their 400th win at the Los Angeles 
Coliseum, their storied home since 1923.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Lowly Arkansas visits No. 23 Auburn]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Arkansas (2-3) at (23) Auburn (4-2), 5:00 pm EDT

AUBURN, Alabama (Ticker) -- Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino is 
having about as much success in the Southeastern Conference as 
he had in the NFL.  Not much.

It won't get much easier as Petrino and the Razorbacks hope to 
avoid their fourth consecutive blowout loss when they face No. 
23 Auburn in a Southeastern Conference clash Saturday.

After posting four straight nine-win seasons with Louisville - 
including a 12-1 campaign and Orange Bowl victory in 2006, 
Petrino left college football to coach the Atlanta Falcons.  He 
didn't even make it through his first season, going 3-10 before 
his controversial departure last December.

Petrino's success was not expected to be immediate after 
resigning from the Falcons' position, but it was not expected to
be this bad, either.

After squeaking past Western Illinois and Louisiana-Monroe in 
its first two games, Arkansas was clobbered by Alabama, Texas 
and Florida in consecutive weeks.

The Razorbacks (2-3, 0-2 SEC West) were beaten by a combined 
score of 139-31 over that stretch.

The Tigers (4-2, 2-2 West) could use as easy win after having 
four straight games decided by five points or less.

Ben Tate rushed for 107 yards and Chris Todd tossed a pair of 
scores last Saturday as Auburn squandered an early 13-point lead
en route to a 14-13 loss to Vanderbilt.

Wes Byrum's missed extra point in the first quarter eventually 
cost the Tigers, who failed to get their passing attack going.  
Todd completed 8-of-16 attempts for 70 yards with an 
interception.

Auburn opened the scoring with 4:09 left in the first when Todd 
found Rodgeriqus Smith for a 7-yard TD strike.  Exactly one 
minute later, Todd threw a 28-yard TD pass to Mario Fannin, but 
Byrum's PAT hit the goalpost.

"They put eight or nine people up there and forced us to throw 
it, and we came out and threw it and scored the touchdown on the
second drive," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said.  "We didn't 
have any rhythm from then on.  We couldn't run it."]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Reed could return for Brigham Young against New Mexico]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[New Mexico (3-3) at (8) Brigham Young (5-0), 8:00 pm EDT

PROVO, Utah (Ticker) -- This is not good news for Brigham 
Young's opponents, but the eighth-ranked Cougars may be close to
getting back one of their top offensive weapons.

Wide receiver Michael Reed could be a game-time decision 
Saturday, when Brigham Young hosts New Mexico in a Mountain West
Conference contest.

Reed suffered a torn meniscus against UCLA on September 13 and 
was expected to miss a week, but BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall 
said last week that the senior was "way ahead of schedule."

Reed played in all 13 games last season and was the Cougars' 
fifth-leading receiver with 41 catches for 449 yards and four 
touchdowns.  In BYU's first three games this year, he hauled in 
16 catches for 216 yards and two scores.

The Cougars (5-0, 1-0 Mountain West) extended the longest 
winning streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision to 15 games with
a 34-14 victory over Utah State on Friday.

Max Hall threw two touchdowns for BYU, which extended its 
scoreless streak to 11 quarters before the Aggies  scored a pair
of touchdowns in the fourth period.

Austin Collie caught eight passes for 132 yards and two 
touchdowns, the third straight game in which he surpassed the 
century mark in receiving yards.  Harvey Unga rushed for 92 
yards on 22 carries.

Despite the win, the Cougars dropped one spot in the coaches' 
poll.  The week before, they climbed four slots to No. 7 without
playing, the first time BYU cracked the top 10 since 2001.

New Mexico (3-3, 1-1) heads to Provo after posting its first 
shutout in Mountain West Conference play in 25 years, a 24-0 
victory over Wyoming.

However, the Lobos could be without running back Rodney 
Ferguson, the leading rusher in the conference.  Ferguson missed
last week's contest with a sore shoulder, and his status for BYU
is uncertain.

Freshman James Wright picked up the slack for New Mexico last 
week, rushing for 120 yards, while Paul Baker added 90 yards on 
the ground.

The Cowboys have been going with a backup quarterback in Brad 
Gruner, who took over after Donovan Porterie suffered a 
season-ending knee injury against Tulsa on September 20.

While New Mexico suffered a 42-17 loss at BYU in 2006, the Lobos
won their previous two trips to Lobo.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Penn State looks for key road win at Wisconsin]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(6) Penn State (6-0) at (24) Wisconsin (3-2), 8:00 pm EDT

MADISON, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- The last time Penn State visited 
Wisconsin, Joe Paterno left Camp Randall Stadium with a broken 
shinbone and two torn knee ligaments after one of his players 
rolled into him on the sideline.

Paterno and the sixth-ranked Nittany Lions hope to avoid such 
calamities this week when they return to Wisconsin for a key Big
Ten Conference contest Saturday night against the 24th-ranked 
Badgers.

Penn State (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) is seeking its first 7-0 start 
since 1997.  But before the Nittany Lions can think about 
playing in the national championship game, they have to clear 
two major road hurdles.

The first comes this week when they visit Wisconsin (3-2, 0-2), 
which is coming off its first home loss under third-year coach 
Bret Bielema.  The Badgers have not dropped consecutive home 
games since 2002.

Penn State's other major road rest takes place on October 25 
when it plays at Ohio State, which handed Wisconsin a 
heartbreaking 20-17 loss last week, scoring in the final minute.

First, the Nittany Lions have to worry about the Badgers, who 
had won 16 straight at Camp Randall before the loss to the 
Buckeyes.  It had been the second-longest active home winning 
streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision behind Oklahoma, which 
has 21 straight victories in Norman.

In its last trip to Wisconsin's capital city in 2006, Penn State
managed only a field goal in a 13-3 loss.  Before he was 
injured, Paterno spent most of the first half feuding with the 
officials.

While Penn State was held 30 points below its season average in 
last week's 20-6 win over Purdue, the Nittany Lions continue to 
get stellar play from their one-two punch of quarterback Daryll 
Clark and tailback Evan Royster.

Clark completed 18-of-26 passes for 220 yards and also rushed 
for a touchdown against the Boilermakers while Royster gained a 
career-high 194 all-purpose yards.  The sophomore rushed for 141
yards, the fourth time he has surpassed the century mark this 
season.

Wide receiver Derrick Williams, who had five receptions for 52 
yards, passed teammate Jordan Norwood for third on Penn State's 
all-time receptions list with 136.  Norwood missed the Purdue 
game with a strained hamstring, and his status for this weekend 
is uncertain.

As its success indicates, Wisconsin always is tough at home.  
But the Badgers have had trouble closing out games this season, 
squandering fourth-quarter leads in both of their losses.

In a 27-25 defeat at Michigan on September 25, Wisconsin could 
not hold on to a 19-7 lead entering the fourth quarter.  Last 
week, the Badgers took a 13-10 lead on P.J. Hill's 2-yard 
touchdown run with 6 1/2 minutes remaining only to give up a 
game-winning 80-yard drive.

Wisconsin will be looking to get Hill back on track, as he has 
been held under 70 yards in each of the last two games.

Despite a last-minute loss to a higher-ranked team, the Badgers 
were treated harshly by the voters, dropping seven spots in the 
coaches' poll.  Wisconsin joined Iowa and Indiana as the only 
0-2 teams in the Big Ten.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Missouri hosts Oklahoma State in battle of unbeatens]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[(17) Oklahoma State (5-0) at (2) Missouri (5-0), 8:00 pm EDT

COLUMBIA, Missouri (Ticker) -- Five teams remain perfect in the 
Big 12 Conference.  But after this week, that number will be 
pared by at least two because there are a pair of matchups 
involving unbeaten schools.

One is the annual Red River Rivalry game between No. 1 Oklahoma 
and No. 5 Texas, while the other has second-ranked Missouri 
hosting No. 17 Oklahoma State.

So far, Missouri (5-0, 1-0 Big 12 North) has been unstoppable, 
and the Tigers are coming off a 52-17 drubbing of Nebraska.

Heisman Trophy hopeful Chase Daniel threw three touchdown passes
and Derrick Washington rushed for 139 yards and three scores as 
the Tigers won in Lincoln for the first time since 1978.

The Tigers moved up one spot in the coaches' poll, switching 
places with defending national champion Louisiana State.

Missouri's goal is to get points on every possession, and the 
Tigers almost did that against Nebraska, scoring on eight of 
their 10 possessions.

Missouri has scored at least 42 points in all five games and is 
second in the Football Bowl Subdivision, averaging 53.4 points 
per outing.

The Big 12, where defense is optional, features five of the top 
six scoring teams in the FBS.  Two of them will be on display in
Columbia, as Oklahoma State checks into the game averaging 52.6 
points - good for third in the FBS.

Oklahoma State (5-0, 1-0 Big 12 South) is coming off a 52-28 
victory over Texas A&M, setting a school record by surpassing 50
points for the fourth straight game.

Zac Robinson threw three touchdown passes - all to Dez Bryant, 
but the Cowboys also got some help from the defense, which 
forced five first-half turnovers.  Ugo Chinasa and Patrick 
Lavine each scored on interception returns.

"I was really, really proud of the defense," Oklahoma State 
coach Mike Gundy said.  "One of the things I talked about in the
locker room was that there has been so much talk go on outside 
of our building about the offense outscoring everybody.  They 
wonder if the defense can hold up."
