Florida is playing their rendition of the Boise StateCal Davis game

Mixed in with effective combinations and his dazzling hand speed, Cane has what it takes to strike with the best of the light-heavyweight division.And although fans rarely get to see a ground attack from Cane, he is no slouch in that department either, carrying a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.Cane chooses to use his jiu-jitsu only when necessary, aggressively keeping the fight on the feet, which in the end, may ultimately be his down fall.Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has established himself to be one of the better boxers in the sport of MMA.The variety of combinations unleashed usually keeps his opponent guessing, and frustrated outside of the range. When they are able to get into reach, Nogueira is very effective with the counter-punch, making him that much more dangerous.He is remarkably tough to take down, and if his back does hit the mat, he is in no danger there as well.Nogueira, like his twin brother Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, is a black-beltpractitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.He also trains with some elite fighters such as his brother, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Junior dos Santos, Paulo Filho, and Ronaldo Souza. Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob Volkmann: Paulo ThiagoVolkmann has a tough test ahead of him in his UFC debut, which will alsoair live on the main card.He might have some first-time jitters, but the three-time All American wrestler out of Minnesota has been competing ever since he was a child.Like most wrestlers, Volkmann is extremely strong and he is able to get the take down when he wants it.His striking is clean and very quick, but he mainly uses it to obtain his clinch and work his wrestling game.However, Volkmann might want to avoid the clinch completely against Paulo Thiago, who is a proud owner of a black belt in both judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.Thiago earned a name by submitting fighters left and right, but he stole some thunder when he knocked out the highly-recognizable welterweight, Josh Koscheck.He was unable to take advantage of his huge victory, falling prey to another dominant wrestler, Jon Fitch.This is Thiago's chance to beat a strong, dominant wrestler, to once again prove that he has a chance in any fight against the division's top welterweights PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)Marcus Davis vs. Ben Saunders: Marcus DavisBen Saunders sank in his attempt to swim with the big sharks.His strength and reach should is a tough task for plenty of welterweight fighters, and if he is able to gain a clinch, his muay thai is outright dangerous.With American Top Team on his side, Saunders has the right assets to become a name inside the division, but he has another tough task ahead of him.Marcus Davis is coming off of an upsetting loss, and he will be looking to put that behind him with a convincing victory over Saunders.A boxer at heart and soul, Davis has very quick, clean strikes that should be able to get him past the telegraphed striking of Saunders.Davis may experience some trouble if he falls prey to the clinch, but he has the chin and recovery skills to bypass any damage done. Kendall Grove vs. Jake Rosholt: Jake RosholtThe lanky Kendall Grove has effectively turned his tall,awkward body into an efficient Muay Thai machine.If he put as much work into training this art as he did with his jiu-jitsu, Grove could be a very deadly opponent.Grove learns some of the game's tricks from one of the best, training under B.J.

Many of the college elite football teams are playing soft games this week. Florida is playing their rendition of the Boise State-Cal Davis game. The Gators are playing Florida International or something close to that.The end result should be a sweet Florida victory and it gives them a week to nurse their wounds and get as healthy as they can for Florida State, who is now playing with their backup quarterback. However, all is not cushy for Florida, as their last game is the SEC championship game with Alabama.Like Florida, Boise State has a potentially easy game coming this week with Utah State. The Broncos' final game of this season against New Mexico State should not promote any real concern either. The concern for the Broncos and their fans will have already played itself out.Boise State is set to play Nevada Reno on the final Saturday night of November.

Earlier in the year, Nevada appeared to be struggling; even Notre Dame blew them out, but the Wolfpack of Nevada is a much more explosive team than the one that the fighting Irish played.Just a week ago, Nevada Reno closed out their once-close game with 35 unanswered points. Bronco fans, that says a mouthful! Indeed, the Wolfpack are developing their A-game.The Broncos also played extremely well last week against the hapless university of Idaho Vandals. The Boise State Broncos may have played their best game since they knocked the yellow socks right off of the Oregon Ducks in the Broncos season opener.So what does all this mean Once again, Nevada is the WAC hopeful for spoiler. The Broncos take every game serious whether it is Oregon State, Oklahoma, Tulsa, or Miami of Ohio Boise State will be ready. The Bronco defense will be prepared, and Kellen and company will do their thingSCORE And thats another story.Go Broncos!.

By: Glenn S Moore It could have been the bright lights of New York City It could have been the history of Madison Square Garden. Or it could have been just the fact that the Ohio State Buckeyes were outplayed, outhustled, and outshot by the defending NCAA National Champions, North Carolina Tar Heels in their 2K Sports Classic: Coaches vs Cancer semifinal matchup At least for the first 38 minutes. The 15th ranked Buckeyes, shooting just 29 from 3 point range, lost to the 6th ranked Tar Heels, 77 - 73 and will play the Golden Bears of California tonight in the consolation game.The Buckeyes didn’t seem to be comfortable from the start, trailing by 10 early on. In both teams’ first test of the season, Ohio State didn’t score their first bucket until four minutes into the ball game on a Dallas Lauderdale dunk. North Carolina didn’t start on fire as well, but used mini spurts here and there to eventually take a 38-24 lead at the half.At the half, North Carolina had shot 48 from the floor, while the Buckeyes struggled, shooting a lowly 29.
