MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin defense wont let up against inferior opponents.While other ranked teams are showing flaws in September against non-conference foes, the ninth-ranked Badgers plan to take advantage of what amounts to a two-week breather in their otherwise brutal schedule .On third downs, the defense has been as sturdy as a red brick wall. Wisconsin (2-0) has held its first two opponents to a combined 3 of 20 on third-down conversions.Weve started the first two games the way youd like, Chryst said. If you want to form your identity, then you have to do it again and again.Wisconsin held LSU to 2 of 10 on third downs in the season opener. Akron managed just one conversion in 10 tries last week.Next up on Saturday is Georgia State (0-2), which has lost to Ball State and Air Force this season by a combined score of 79-35.Seems like another blowout is in order for Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium this weekend.But as the Oklahoma State Sooners know , there are few gimmes anymore in college football.In contrast, Chryst had his team focused and prepared last week in a 54-10 rout of Akron , yet left room for improvement. Inside linebacker T.J. Edwards pointed to a few communication mix-ups against the Zips spread offense that will need to be cleaned up.Some little things that will hurt against big-time opponents will hurt against this weeks opponent, Edwards said. If were not on point with communication, theyll take advantage.Developing depth will be important, too, after the Badgers lost another key player on defense. Third cornerback Natrell Jamerson could be out 4-6 weeks after needing help to get off the field in the fourth quarter of the Akron game with a left leg injury.Freshman Caesar Williams could get more playing time behind top two corners Sojourn Shelton and Derrick Tindal. A similar situation arose last week after starting inside linebacker Chris Orr was lost for the season after the first defensive play in the LSU game with a right knee injury.Edwards, who had a foot injury, returned last week to help fill that hole.You never want to see anyone go down, Edwards said . I know those guys that are willing step in for (Jamerson) for as long as needs to recover. So no, it will be the same effect, Im happy we can say that about our defense.Coming off a promising freshman season in which he had a team-high 84 tackles, Edwards is gradually getting back up to speed. Big Ten play starts on Sept. 24 at Michigan State.Fortunately for the Badgers, the rest of the defense has held up exceptionally well. Wisconsins front seven is dominating up front, and the secondary has reaped the rewards, having forced four of Wisconsins five turnovers.The Badgers are pretty good at stopping opponents the old fashioned way, too.It always comes down to when theres an opportunity, you have to make a play, a sack or a stop, Chryst said. I think a lot of it has been weve been pretty good on first and second downs.NOTE: Chryst said there were no lingering concerns with RB Corey Clement, who left the win over Akron late in the second quarter after rolling his left ankle. The Badgers were up by 20 points at halftime and didnt need Clement in the second half anyway. The senior is healthy enough that he has replaced Jamerson as the top option to return kicks on the depth chart. I anticipate him going to work, practicing, Chryst said. Clement needs 86 yards rushing to become the 16th player in school history to run for 2,000 in his career.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP Adidas NMD R2 Sale .

CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon was so disgusted with a start earlier in the season he tossed his glove into the stands. It got worse when he sprained his left wrist slipping on the dugout steps as he rushed out for the national anthem.After missing nearly a month, Rodon is starting to show why he was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft with hopes of joining fellow lefty starters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana atop the White Sox rotation.Rodon threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and Chicago beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 on Tuesday night.Its building up trying to get to Q and Sale, Rodon said. Those guys are very good, top-line starters. Of the left-handers in the game, theyre probably the two best. Id love to be like that.Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July. His fastball was consistently at 96 mph and he even worked on a new backdoor slider.Everything he does has effort, and its strength, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. When he has it going on it looks really good. He doesnt need to get away from his strength and physicality is one of them. When he picks around and throws soft stuff hes not as effective.Abreu hit a two-run home run and Justin Morneau followed with a solo shot in the fifth off Jake Thompson (1-3), who gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings.Adam Eaton tripled, singled and scored twice and Tim Anderson tripled, reached base three times and drove in a run as Chicago built a 9-0 lead in its third straight win.Freddy Galvis hit his 13th home run off Chris Beck in the seventh to end a 17-inning scoreless streak for the Phillies, who have dropped five of seven.Abreu hit 36 homers while winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2014 and 30 last year. Hes up to 17 as he heats up after struggling much of the season. Abreu has five homers and 11 RBI in his past 16 games despite a sore hamstring.This is as good as hes looked all year as far as nnot chasing stuff, Ventura said.ddddddddddddThe Phillies, playing on Chicagos South Side for the first time since 2004, managed five hits while Thompson allowed five extra-base hits and four walks in his fourth big league start.The right-hander has yet to pitch past the fifth inning and saw his ERA swell to 9.78. Thompson has walked 13 in 19 1/3 innings.He relies a lot on command, and he hasnt shown that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I attribute a lot of that to his youth and inexperience.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: SS prospect J.P. Crawford (oblique) is back playing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is a September call-up candidate.White Sox: RF Avisail Garcia (knee) was activated off the 15-day DL and went 1 for 4 with a double.

He allowed one run in four innings Tuesday night for Charlotte.UP NEXTWhite Sox RHP James Shields (5-15, 5.98 ERA) faces RHP Jerad Eickhoff (8-12, 3.91) to close the series Wednesday night. Shields has a 17.36 ERA in four starts this month. ' ' '
