Although its been a terribly difficult week for North Dakota State, the top-ranked Bison are doing their best to try and stay focused heading into a tough rivalry matchup.Its uncertain whether backup running back and special teamer Chase Morlock will play against South Dakota State after his father passed away last weekend following a battle with cancer. Its a loss that has hit the entire NDSU family, according to coach Chris Klieman.Theres no coaching 101 manual. Well do everything we can (to prepare), Klieman confessed. We have a tremendous administration, a great bunch of assistant coaches and resilient players with everything theyve been through. Well take it day-by-day.The heavy-hearted Bison are hoping to retain the trophy in the 13th annual Dakota Marker game on Saturday. Theyre going after their ninth consecutive victory over the 11th-ranked Jackrabbits and 15th straight win overall, which would be the second longest in Missouri Valley Football Conference history behind its own 33-game run from 2012-14.The Bison (5-0, 2-0), however, are facing a difficult challenge against Taryn Christion and a visiting South Dakota State team that ranks fourth in the nation at 45 points per game and 15th with 461.4 total yards. Christion ranks fourth nationally with 327.4 passing yards per game after he threw for a school-record 466 and five touchdowns in a 51-32 win at Southern Illinois.The sophomore quarterback has thrown for 20 TDs with one interception in 173 attempts this season. Christion has benefited from an outstanding receiver tandem in Jake Wieneke, who has 33 receptions for 595 yards with 10 touchdowns, and Dallas Goedert, who has 34 catches for 561 yards and eight scores.(Christion) does it all and hes playing with a lot of confidence, Klieman said. Theyre putting a lot of points on the board and even in their losses, hes played extremely well. What Im so impressed with is how well he throws the deep ball. He has tremendous accuracy, tremendous loft on the ball and puts it in position for their playmakers.Kliemans squad ranks second in the conference with 313.2 yards allowed per game, but is only sixth against the pass. The Bison are coming off perhaps their best defensive effort last weekend when they limited Missouri State to 176 total yards and just 30 on the ground in a 27-3 road victory.Offensively, NDSU will likely lean on King Frazier after the senior running back finished with a season-high 126 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries against the Bears. Frazier, who had 44 yards and a score on 14 attempts in last seasons 28-7 win over SDSU, is averaging 5.5 yards per carry and has a touchdown in four of the teams five games.That certainly doesnt bode well for the Jackrabbits (3-2, 2-0), who rank second to last in the MVFC with 206 rushing yards allowed per game.Theyre what everyone wants to be when you try to run the football, SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier said. They just dominate you in time of possession, wear you down and get points when they need them.The Bison held the Jackrabbits to minus-4 yards rushing in last years conference opener to grab a 59-40-5 advantage in the all-time series. SDSUs 25-24 win in 2008 marked its first in Fargo since 1962 and represents its only victory over the past 28 road meetings.The North Dakota State game has become a tremendous rivalry, Stiegelmeier added. The Border Marker trophy, the intensity, the playoffs, the conference championship -- all those things come together. I know its early in the season, but its going to be a fun game.---RANKED SHOWDOWN IN YOUNGSTOWN=Sack-crazy Youngstown State (4-1, 2-0) goes after its fourth straight win and first 3-0 start in league play since 2013 on Saturday night when it hosts No. 21 Northern Iowa (2-3, 1-1).The 14th-ranked Penguins are getting it done with the MVFCs top defense (290.8 yards allowed per game). They held Illinois State to just 250 total yards and its lowest point total since Oct. 6, 2012 in Saturdays 20-6 road win.YSU had six more sacks against the Redbirds, increasing their season total to 19. The Penguins are now tied for third in the FCS with 3.8 per game. Derek Rivers ranks second in the conference with seven sacks, while Avery Moss has five.Theyll try to corral Northern Iowa quarterback Aaron Bailey, who has thrown for 838 yards and six touchdowns against only one interception. The senior also has rushed for 416 yards and six scores.They have a dual-threat quarterback in Bailey. Hes a good player. They have some skill and theyll give you a couple different looks, said YSU coach Bo Pelini, whose squad is the only FCS program that hasnt allowed a rushing touchdown this season. Its going to be important that were all on the same page and guys are able to adjust to formations.The Panthers have won 12 of the past 13 meetings, though this is the first since a 22-20 home victory on a last-second field goal in 2013. They enter this one having dropped three of four since a season-opening 25-20 win at Iowa State on Sept. 3.This is a heck of a test for us at a critical time, coach Mark Farley said. This is one of the best football teams in the (FCS) -- I promise you that. Antonio Callaway Jersey . 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. Chad Thomas Jersey . Louis Blues.

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. The fairytale Western Bulldogs premiership is Exhibit A for the AFL in its defence of the controversial round-23 bye.The Bulldogs became the first AFL team to win the flag from seventh place when they beat Sydney in Saturdays epic grand final.There has plenty of debate around the leagues decision to introduce a bye weekend between round 23 and the start of the finals series.It was introduced to stop finals-bound teams resting players in large numbers for round 23.Four-time Hawthorn premiership coach Alastair Clarkson and Fremantle counterpart Ross Lyon have been vocal opponents, saying it dilutes the advantage of finishing in the top four.It is notable that Geelong and the Giants went out of the finals in straight sets.But it was a huge benefit for the Bulldogs, who recalled five players for their elimination final against West Coast.Of those, Jack Macrae, Tom Liberatore, Jordan Roughead and Easton Wood all played in Saturdays premiership and Matt Suckling was an unlucky omission.To get those guys back, the bye really helped us, Bulldogs veteran Matthew Boyd told Channel Sevens Game DDay.ddddddddddddI know a lot of people have probably spoken ill about the bye, but Ive loved it.Boyd was asked whether they would have won the flag without the pre-finals bye.Its hard to speculate on those sorts of things, but if we didnt have the bye, we wouldnt have gotten some of those players back (for the Eagles final), Boyd said.The Bulldogs easily beat West Coast in a big upset to start the finals series.It gave the Dogs massive momentum and captain Easton Wood revealed the win was the moment he started thinking they could win the premiership.It was probably after that West Coast game ... we limped into that bye, we lost to Freo over in (Perth) and we obviously knew how big a task it would be to beat West Coast, Wood told Channel Nines Footy Show.To win the way we did there, so emphatically, and the total performance the boys put in, it was amazing.I remember being out there, just thinking shit, this team can really play - we might do the whole lot.
