MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- TCU and West Virginia share somewhat of a kinship as the two youngest members of the Big 12. Their head-to-head series has been close, too.Three of their four meetings since joining the league in 2012 have been decided on the final snap. Two went to overtime.We really have a lot of respect for each other, said TCU defensive end Josh Carraway. Theyre going to battle their butts off, just like they know were going to go out there and battle our butts off.No. 12 West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) is off to a surprising start but still has to face the conferences traditional heavyweights, starting Saturday with the Horned Frogs (4-2, 2-1). There are showdowns later against No. 9 Baylor and No. 16 Oklahoma, which are tied for first place at 3-0.TCU edged the Mountaineers 31-30 in 2014 and 39-38 in double overtime in 2012 after making the 1,200-mile trip to Morgantown, so coach Gary Patterson has a formula for beating West Virginia on the road.Score one more point, he said.TCU is the underdog this time and will face a West Virginia team coming off its best game of the season, a 48-17 win last Saturday at Texas Tech .West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he told his team the next day that if you like the feeling that youre having right now, then youve got to prepare. If you dont prepare, then were not going to be in position to be able to win. Then everybodys going to tell you that you suck again. Then youre going to be in a bad mood. Its reality.TCU is 31-9 on the road since 2009. Lately, though, the Horned Frogs have struggled anywhere they play, losing to Arkansas and Oklahoma at home and barely winning at Kansas .On the road, its just about finding your comfort zone, bringing your own energy, said TCU wide receiver John Diarse. Thats tough, depending on the place. West Virginia does have a reputation of having a hostile crowd. Weve just got to go in and be confident in what we do, be comfortable in what we do and minimize the mistakes.---Other things to know about the sixth-ever meeting between TCU and West Virginia:CLOSE CALLS: Both teams have had to squeeze out some wins. TCU came from nine points down in the fourth quarter to beat Kansas on the road two weeks ago. West Virginia beat Kansas State by a point after the Wildcats missed a late field goal, and BYU nearly came from 16 points down in the fourth quarter but was intercepted on its final drive near West Virginias end zone.RB PASS CATCHER: One of the focuses for West Virginia will be stopping TCU leading rusher Kyle Hicks, who also has a team-best 27 receptions for 308 yards. Hes big. A thick kid, hard to bring down, but can still run a little bit, said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Hes busted a couple big runs and he catches the ball well, so they arent afraid to use him.FACING HOMETOWN TEAM: West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard is a native of Fort Worth, Texas. Howard has improved his passing accuracy significantly to 66 percent and is fourth in the Big 12 with 318 yards per game.SUSCEPTIBLE DEFENSE: TCU has allowed 40 or more points three times this season. Two years ago when they came here, they led pretty much every defensive category that existed, Holgorsen said. So just because theyre not, that doesnt mean that theyre not good. Theyre really good.COMEBACK FROGS: TCU overcame double-digit deficits against West Virginia in the second half in 2012, 2013 and 2014, losing only the 2013 game in overtime.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Fort Worth, Texas, contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgBlack Vapormax Womens Uk . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season.Earlier this week, former New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle reflected on his life in?football in a colorful essay posted on?The Players Tribune.The former three-time Pro Bowler touched on a wide swath of topics, from his parents advice to his early growing pains to his lifelong friendship with the late Sean Taylor, a former college teammate at the University of Miami who first befriended him in youth football in his hometown of Homestead, Fla.But Rolle also played in two of the most memorable Super Bowls since the turn of the new millennium, and his recounting of the wild catches that defined both of them is especially entertaining.Of Santonio Holmes game-winning touchdown catch for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIII against the Cardinals, Rolle was incredulous that the Super Bowl MVP managed to come down with the ball?inbounds at the back pylon:The Steelers had run that same play three times earlier in the game and Roethlisberger didnt connect once. This time, they switched the side of the field and they ran it with Holmes. The ironic thing is that Roethlisberger was looking at Nate Washington on his first read, and I jumped the route. He cocked his arm to throw it to him. But Nate slipped. Roethlisberger literally just pulled the ball down and threw the it to the corner of the end zone instead. We had perfect coverage on that route.I turned my head and saw him make the catch, and Im like, Clearly hes out of bounds. Until I saw the replay. My heart just fell to my stomach.Rolle actually gives the New England secondary the benefit of the doubt on Mario Manninghams stupendous, tip-toe sideline catch that sparked the Giants fourth-quarter comeback in Super Bowl XLVI:As a defensive back, let me just say this: The safety played it perfectly. I mean, out of 100, I would give him a 105 for that coverage. It waas that on point.ddddddddddddIt was just a case of great offense beating great defense. Eli hit what we call the honey-hole, the exact spot in the defense where the coverage is softest.I still see that play to this day, years after we won the Super Bowl. And even though I know we won, I have the same reaction every time. Damn. How the hell did he make that catch?One of Rolles favorite teammates in Arizona, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, currently roams the secondary for Rolles former Giants. The two had a lot of fun together with the Cardinals and got particularly?creative with their signals to each other. When Rolle started dancing pre-snap, that meant one thing to Rodgers-Cromartie: jump the route.Ill never forget we were playing the Texans in 2009, and the game was tied with a little more than two minutes left. Man, I started dancing like crazy. I knew that the out to the sideline was coming. DRC looks at me, like, Yeah? O.K. then....Matt Schaub drops back, they run the out ... pop! DRC takes it for a touchdown.Theres only certain players you can do that with. You need to develop a certain type of chemistry. Ive always had that chemistry with my corners. I prefer for them to eat and I like to do the dirty work and hit people.They loved me for it. Ask them. Theyll tell you.Rolle, 33, hung it up this year after being released by the Chicago Bears in?May, just one year into the three-year, $11.25 million deal that he signed in 2015. He played just seven games in his only season with Chicago, thanks to a season-ending knee injury that he blamed on poor field conditions at Halas Hall. He made a spirited pitch for a return to the Giants, where he earned both of his All-Pro nods, but nothing?came of that.-- Brendan C. Hall ' ' '
