ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh prides himself on preparing his teams for every possible scenario.Michigans coach acknowledged Monday he learned several things, in the aftermath of last years infamous loss to Michigan State in which a botched punt with 10 seconds left led to one of the most dramatic finishes in college football history.Have the punter at the right depth, Harbaugh said when pressed on what he learned from the play. Not be in a spread punt in that situation.Harbaugh called a timeout and chose to punt on a fourth-and-2 from the Spartans 47, leading by two points, after DeVeon Smith ran the ball three straight times trying to pick up a first down and run time off the clock. Harbaugh sent punter Blake ONeill onto the field, and the Australian lined up about 16 yards deep to field the snap. Harbaugh had two gunners -- players lining up as if they were wide receivers -- in the formation as if it was just another punt.It wasnt.Michigan State rushed 10 players, leaving one gunner uncovered and no one deep to return a potential punt. ONeill bobbled a low snap and instead of falling on the ball as Harbaugh would say after the game he wished the punter had done -- though ONeill was never coached to do that -- he whirled and tried to get the kick off only to be swarmed by Spartans. The football was jarred out of ONeills hands and directly into the arms of Jalen Watts-Jackson, who returned it for a 38-yard, game-winning, game-ending touchdown that left him with a broken hip after Wolverines tight end Jake Butt tackled him.Michigan States 27-23 victory was its third straight in the series and seventh win in eight games since Michigans last win at Spartan Stadium in 2007.When the bitter rivals meet again Saturday, many believe it would take something short of a miracle for the Spartans to extend their streak.No. 2 Michigan (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) has lost only one game since losing to Michigan State on Oct. 17, 2015, at the Big House. The Spartans (2-5, 0-4) have lost five straight and are underdogs by more than three touchdowns at home.Smith said the final seconds of last years game are still boiling within him and added we still taste it in our mouth. ONeill declined an interview request this week.Wormley and Butt were two of three players positioned between the line and ONeill on last years punt team. The trio of blockers took steps toward the right to prepare for a rugby-style punt after the snap, leaving the left side of the line outnumbered by the Spartans aggressive formation.Obviously, its a devastating play, Wormley said . Its a shock. You can kind of scratch your head and say, `What just happened? Its played on the Big Ten Network probably once a week. Or, you flip through the channels and you see it. But at the end of the day, were a new team. Its a new season.Butt had the last and best shot to change the outcome last year. He sprinted just in time to hit Watts-Jackson as he approached the goal line and landed on him in the end zone.I didnt hear the punt go off so I just turned around and started running, Butt recalled. They executed on that play and thats football. It easily couldve been us in the other position. Thats the great thing about football. Anything can happen. The game is never over.But were not caught up in that game. Were not hanging out heads about it. If anything, itll motivate us a little bit more this week.---Online: AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Nike Air Max Womens 90 Camo .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.

One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. How many Olympic gold-medal winners do you see in this picture from a Washington Wizards game from the 1999-2000 season?Well, theres obviously Michael Jordan, who won gold with the U.S. mens basketball team in 1984 and 1992. But Ted Leonsis (pictured bottom, center) -- the owner of the Wizards, Washington Capitals and Washington Mystics -- never stood atop a medal stand, nor did attorney George Stamos (sitting to Leonsis left), nor did the man next to Jordan in the back row.But Jon Ledecky (also not an Olympic medalist), then a part-owner of the Capitals and now the majority owner of the New York Islanders, brought his 2-year-old niece, Katie, to the gamme.dddddddddddd Thats her in the front row next to Leonsis. Sixteen years later, Katie Ledecky is a two-time gold medal winner and just broke her own world record in the 400m freestyle in Rio. Not bad for the girl who just happened to be in the luxury box the day Jordan was announced as a minority owner of the Wizards.Katie Ledecky will get a chance to surpass Jordans Olympic gold medal total Monday night when she competes in the 200m freestyle. She posted the fastest time of anyone in the qualifying heats.(H/T Dan Steinberg) China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
