Thirteenth-ranked Oklahoma State controls its own destiny heading into their final two games of Big 12 Conference play. But the road to a Big 12 championship still has two potentially very big potholes to navigate starting with Saturday afternoons contest at well-rested TCU (Noon ET, Fox Sports 1).Get past Gary Pattersons Horned Frogs, who have had two weeks to prepare after delivering a 62-22 spanking of Baylor in Waco, and the Cowboys (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) could play for all the marbles against Bedlam rival Oklahoma (8-2, 7-0) on Dec. 3 in Norman provided the Sooners defeat West Virginia on Saturday.Not bad for a team that was pretty much written off following a 2-2 start that included a very controversial 30-27 home loss to Central Michigan on Sept. 10 and a 35-24 defeat at Baylor to open Big 12 play.Oklahoma State has rattled off six consecutive victories since, including a 43-37 upset of No. 10 West Virginia on Oct. 29. The Cowboys come into this one off a wild 45-44 home victory over Texas Tech last week.Each week I talk to them about the importance of focus, and fortunately, weve had big wins, and whether you have a big win or you have a loss youre not happy with, you have to re-focus on Sunday, OklahomaState coach Mike Gundy said. Were not good enough to even look past tomorrows practice, and TCU, in my opinion, is a considerably different team than they were even three weeks ago.The Horned Frogs (5-4, 3-3), who were a combined 23-3 over the past two seasons, are attempting to become bowl-eligible and must win one of their final three games to do so. After hosting the Cowboys, Gary Pattersons squad plays at Texas (5-5) and ends the season with a home game against Kansas State (5-4).Were excited about the challenges, junior weak safety Nick Orr told reporters. We know weve got some tough teams in the next three games and were trying to become bowl-eligible. We know its going to be a tough task, but I feel like we can get it done.Although one victory makes TCU bowl-eligible, the Horned Frogs need two wins to assure a winning campaign. TCU has experienced only one losing season over the past 11 years -- that coming in 2013 in its second season in the Big 12.The Horned Frogs are coming off a bye and that qualifies as good timing for junior running back Kyle Hicks.Hicks injured his left ankle against Texas Tech on Oct. 29 and played the following Saturday against Baylor despite not practicing all week due to soreness. He sure wasnt affected on game day as he rushed for a career-high 192 yards and five touchdowns in a 62-22 trouncing of the Bears.The week off gave Hicks a chance to heal up and coach Gary Patterson said Monday that Hicks is running at full speed.Having Hicks healthy down the stretch is crucial for the Horned Frogs as he leads the squad with 789 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns (12 rushing, two receiving). He also is tied for the team lead with 33 receptions.Hicks presents an entirely defensive challenge for the Cowboys than they faced last week in edging pass-happy Texas Tech.While the 45-44 victory did not reflect a great defensive performance, the Red Raiders were limited to a pedestrian (for them) 389 total yards as the Cowboys removed a down lineman and lined up in a 3-3-5 scheme. The change confused Tech into three three-and-outs to begin the game.It got us a few series, said defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer, then after that its just great players making great plays.Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes was still magnificent at times throwing for 344 yards but had just one connection for 30-plus yards.Among those who surfaced as playmakers for the Cowboys were sophomore linebacker Justin Phillips, who started in place of injured Chad Whitener and led Oklahoma State in tackles, and cornerback A.J. Green, a freshman pressed into fourth-quarter duty.All but two of the wins the Cowboys have recorded during current six-game streak were by single digits.No fear, no frustration and no fatigue is what we talk about, Gundy said. Truthfully I talk to the players about the core values and the accountability we have in our program. I wish I could give you the Xs and Os, or say that I could give a Vince Lombardi pregame and halftime speech. I think its the overall concept of our program. Cheap Shoes Australia Free Shipping .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- One week the Buffalo Bills offense is sputtering. The next its their defense.That leaves coach Rex Ryan having plenty of concerns he needs to address two weeks into his second season in Buffalo.Well, first off, obviously never expected this, Ryan said, opening his news conference following a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday night. The Jets were a much better team than we were today, especially their offense against our defense. It looked like a mismatch.Ryans prized defense -- the one he vowed would be much improved over last year -- was porous.The Bills surrendered 493 yards offense, 28 first downs, allowed New York to convert eight of 13 third-down chances and forced just two punts -- the second with 10 seconds left. The only bright side was safety Nickell Robey-Coleman returning Jalin Marshalls fumble 36 yards for a touchdown to briefly put the Bills ahead 24-20.The Jets responded to score 17 consecutive points, capped by Matt Fortes third touchdown on a 12-yard run.Buffalo is 0-2 for the first time since 2010.And the loss to the Jets comes a week after the Bills offense managed just 160 yards in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore.The offense was much improved, with Tyrod Taylor going 18 of 30 for 297 yards and three touchdowns.Whats troubling is the Bills schedule doesnt get much easier. Buffalo hosts Arizona on Sept. 25, followed by a game at New England, where the Bills are 1-14 since 2001.Well right now it looks daunting against anybody, Ryan said. Weve got to get better, so weve got to look at the tape and realize it starts with us.Starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore had a particularly tough day as part of a defensive backfield that allowed Eric Decker to make six catches for 126 yards and Brandon Marshall six for 101.It wasnt one of my best days, Gilmore said. But Im not the person to put my head down. I know I have to step up and make those plays, so Ill do that.The Jets (1-1) snapped a five-game skid against Buffalo, which included a 22-17 season-ending loss in January that eliminated New York from the playoffs.New Yoork also avoided its first 0-2 since 2007.ddddddddddddFORTE ON THE RUNForte had 30 carries for 100 yards and matched a career-high and franchise record by becoming the 13th running back to score three touchdowns rushing. In two games, offseason free-agent addition has combined for 52 carries for 196 yards and added seven catches for 68 yards.I dont care, Forte said when told hes on pace for 450 touches. As long as we keep winning, I dont care if I have 1,000 touches.CATCHING ONEric Decker and Brandon Marshall re-established themselves as one of the NFLs top receiving tandems. Decker led New York with six catches for 126 yards and a touchdown, while Marshall had six catches for 101 yards. Marshall avoided a scare when he briefly left the game in the second quarter with what appeared to be a serious left knee injury.He missed only four plays spanning two series after having his knee examined.I thought it was over. I thought I was going to be fishing in my backyard in Florida, said Marshall , whose left knee twisted awkwardly beneath him when cornerback Stephon Gilmore pulled him down by his facemask.GOING DEEPWith an 84-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Goodwin and a 71-yard TD pass to Greg Salas , Taylor became Buffalos fifth quarterback to throw two touchdowns of 70-yards or longer in the same game. JP Losman was the last to do that in 2006.Goodwins touchdown was the longest by a Buffalo player in a home game.WATKINS WATCHBills receiver Sammy Watkins started despite experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired left foot this past week. He had two catches for 20 yards.FITZ-MAGICJets Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick went 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. He bounced back after combining for four TDs and five interceptions -- including three in the season finale -- in two games against Buffalo, his former team, last year.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
