BOULDER, Colo. -- A night game televised nationally on the conference network. Largest Folsom Field crowd expected in nearly five years. At least a share of the top spot in the Pac-12 South at stake.All just more signs that Colorado (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12) has its football program trending in the right direction as the Buffaloes host Arizona State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday.Colorado is counting on plenty of Folsom Field clamor against a Sun Devils team thats 7-0 all-time against the Buffs and has outscored them by an average of 26 points. There could be more than 46,000 fans for this homecoming game in a stadium that should be much louder since the completion of the Champions Center on the northeast side to trap the noise.I love night games, and I think most of the guys on the team love night games, and that kind of atmosphere, Colorado receiver Bryce Bobo said. Were just trying to come out with a big win.Big wins have been rather rare for the Buffaloes since their last bowl appearance in 2007. This team, though, has been making strides all season, such as earning the Buffs first ranking in 11 years before falling out of the polls this week after a 21-17 loss to Southern California.The turnaround in Boulder has certainly caught the attention of Arizona State coach Todd Graham.Theyre a football team thats playing very hungry, Graham said. This team is capable of big plays and they have been playing very well at home. So, we need to go out there and find a way to win.Both teams enter the game with QB quandaries. The Buffs will decide between freshman Steven Montez and senior Sefo Liufau, whos dealing with a sprained ankle thats sidelined him for the last three games.The Sun Devils may have Manny Wilkins in the huddle again. He missed last weeks 23-20 win over UCLA with a leg injury. Theyre also preparing Dillon Sterling-Cole and Jack Smith with Brady White out for the season after suffering an injury against the Bruins.We dont really worry about (whos at quarterback). We worry about us, Colorado safety Afolabi Laguda said. We have to come out there and worry about filling our gaps right, covering the right people and making plays.Here are some other things to watch as the Sun Devils try to spoil Colorados homecoming:THE LOCAL KID: Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre had a simple answer for stopping the Sun Devils version of the Wildcat formation.Tackle No. 7, MacIntyre said.That would be Kalen Ballage, who the Buffaloes know very well after heavily recruiting the 6-foot-2, 227-pound running back from Peyton, Colorado. Ballage had eight total TDs in a game earlier this season against Texas Tech -- quite a few off direct snaps out of the formation they call Sparky.The main thing is No. 7. Hes pretty wicked, MacIntyre said.FOOT NOTE: The Sun Devils have one of the best kickers in the game in Zane Gonzalez, who connected on three field goals last weekend to become the NCAAs all-time leader. He has 89 career field goals, moving him by Florida States Dustin Hopkins, who had 88 from 2009-12. Gonzalez is nine points away from breaking Hopkins FBS record for career points (466) by a kicker.THIS & THAT: With a win, the Sun Devils would move to 6-1 for the second time in the past three seasons. Whats more, Graham would pick up win No. 40 at Arizona State.SEFOS NUMBERS: In three games against Arizona State, Liufau has thrown for 836 yards, which is the most versus one opponent in school history. Its one of 78 school marks that Liufau has either set or tied.ATTENDANCE SURGE: The Buffaloes are averaging 43,172 at home this season -- a figure sure to climb after this weekend. The last time Colorado averaged more than 40K was 2012.Its going to be a tough test for us here. Im glad were playing at Folsom, MacIntyre said. Our kids love playing at Folsom.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Pat Graham at: https://twitter.com/pgraham34 Cheap Clearance Shoes .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. http://www.cheapshoesclearance.com/ . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid.

Things to watch in the Big 12 in Week 3, when Iowa State goes to TCU for the first game that counts in the conference standings. But more important to the league could be three more nonconference games against Power Five teams after going 0-3 in such games last week:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 14 Oklahoma (1-1) hosting No. 3 Ohio St. (2-0). The Sooners and Buckeyes meet for the first time since 1983, and this is a game Oklahoma likely has to win to have any realistic chance of making it back into the four-team College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes were national champions two seasons ago in the first year of the CFP format, and Oklahoma last season became the first Big 12 team to make it. Ohio States defense hasnt given up a touchdown this season while also returning three interceptions for scores. Baker Mayfield has thrown five TDs for the Sooners, who had that season-opening loss to sixth-ranked Houston.BEST MATCHUPNo. 11 Texas (2-0) at California (1-1). Freshman quarterback Shane Buechele and the Longhorns are headed to the West Coast for their first road game. When California came to Austin with quarterback Jared Goff last season, the Bears escaped with a 45-44 victory after Texas made a late 21-point rally only to miss an extra point with 1:11 remaining. Goff was the first overall pick in the NFL draft and replaced by graduate transfer Davis Webb, who never played against the Longhorns while with Texas Tech the past three seasons.INSIDE THE NUUMBERSBaylor, Texas and idle West Virginia are the leagues only undefeated teams .dddddddddddd ... Kansas State is 22-2 in home openers under coach Bill Snyder. The Wildcats host Florida Atlantic on Saturday. ... Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes is again the national leader in total offense, with 562 yards per game. He goes into a game against Louisiana Tech already with 12 touchdowns (nine passing, three rushing). ... Kansas goes to Memphis after 14 tackles for losses last week against Ohio, the most in a game for the Jayhawks since 2007.LONG SHOTIowa State is more than a three-touchdown underdog at TCU. Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson will remind everyone that the Cyclones won in Fort Worth when they played there four years ago in TCUs first home Big 12 game. But there were unique circumstances in 2012, with that game coming only two days after starting quarterback Casey Pachalls DWI arrest and suspension.IMPACT PERFORMEROklahoma State sophomore WR Jalen McCleskey is tied for the Big 12 lead with 7.5 receptions per game. He had 11 catches for 103 yards against Central Michigan, when the Cowboys had seven different players caught passes.
