NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee States high-scoring offense will run into one of college footballs best linebackers Saturday night.Vanderbilts Zach Cunningham leads the Southeastern Conference with 81 tackles and 13 tackles for loss and ranks in the top five nationally. Now the 6-foot-4, 230-pound junior will try to disrupt a Tigers offense ranked 16th in the Football Championship Series scoring 36.3 points per game.Cunningham was named the national defensive player of the week by two organizations and the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the week honors for his career performance last week. Cunningham had a career-high 19 tackles, including a game-saving stop, in last weeks 17-16 upset at Georgia.That last tackle was Cunninghams best coming on fourth-and-1 to preserve Vanderbilt coach Derek Masons first SEC road victory in his third season. Its the kind of play Mason has come to expect out of Cunningham, especially against Georgia. Mason remembers how Cunningham tackled Todd Gurley, now with the NFLs Los Angeles Rams, three times when the linebacker was a freshman.Theres still guys in the NFL still trying to tackle Gurley, and they still cant get it done, Mason said. I knew then that he had the potential to be a special player.Vanderbilt (3-4) hasnt won consecutive games this season, but Mason hopes his Commodores pick up momentum from their win at Georgia.That was a snowflake, and were trying to turn it into a snowball, Mason said. Were trying to make sure we push this thing in the right direction. We felt going in we could win. Nobody else probably had that idea, but we did.TSU coach Rod Reed is hoping Vanderbilt will overlook the Tigers (5-1).Im just hoping theyre still partying and celebrating after that win because when you watch them on tape they are extremely stingy on defense, said Reed, whose team is ranked 25th in the FCS. Its going to be a tall task for us.---Here are some other things to watch for Saturday night when Vanderbilt hosts Tennessee State:CUNNINGHAMS FUTURE: Cunningham already is showing up on NFL draft projections as a first-round pick if he leaves Vanderbilt after his junior season. Cunningham said he really tries to tune out that speculation so he can focus on helping the Commodores. Obviously, thats something Im thinking about, but its not my main focus, Cunningham said.DANGEROUS RETURN MAN: Darrius Sims needs 44 yards to set Vanderbilts career record for kick returns. The senior was named SEC special teams player of the week after returning the opening kickoff 95 yards setting up the Commodores first touchdown against Georgia. Whoever didnt see that hole is blind, Sims said. Four of Sims former high school teammates play for TSU: wide receiver Patrick Smith, offensive linemen Thomas Burton and Igor Misigaro and defensive tackle Michael Perry III.PICKOFF ARTISTS: Vanderbilt quarterback Kyle Shurmur played a turnover-free game against Georgia but must be wary of TSU cornerback Ezra Robinson, who already has four interceptions. The senior transfer from Michigan State picked off two passes, one he returned 93 yards for a TD in last weeks 35-28 win over Eastern Kentucky. Tigers defensive back Terrell Bonds has three interceptions.MORE GAMES? Vanderbilt is less than 5 miles from TSU, but this is only the second game between the Nashville schools with Vandy winning 38-9 in 2006. Rods a good friend and I do believe it does make sense every, maybe, five or 10 years to play this ballgame, Mason said.RUSHING RECORD: Vanderbilt running back Ralph Webb is 355 rushing yards away from breaking Zac Stacys career school record. Stacy rushed for 3,143 yards and Webb has 2,789.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org Air Max 95 2018 .

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Air Max 95 Trainers Sale . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Discount Air Max 95 . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. LOS ANGELES -- Sam Darnold, both head coaches and everybody else in the Coliseum thought Darnolds wobbly pass was about to become Southern Californias fifth turnover.Everybody except Darreus Rogers, who simply went up and over Colorado cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to steal it for a spectacular 46-yard gain .I never thought it was going to be a pick, Rogers said. Those are the plays I need to make that will separate me as a player. I had to make that play for my teammates.A few minutes later, the Trojans seized a victory they felt rightfully belonged to them, too.Tyler Petite caught his second touchdown pass with 8:28 to play on a drive extended by Rogers heroics, and USC overcame four turnovers to beat No. 21 Colorado 21-17 on Saturday.Daniel Imatorbhebhe also caught a TD pass from Darnold, who passed for 358 yards and three scores along with two fumbles and an interception. USC (3-3, 2-2 Pac-12) shredded one of the nations top defenses for 539 yards, but Colorados takeaways kept an otherwise one-sided game close.All Pac-12 wins seem hard, especially when you turn the ball over like we did, USC coach Clay Helton said.After dominating for long stretches ruined by turnovers, the Trojans finally made their own breaks. Adoree Jackson made a jaw-dropping, one-footed interception , but the game turned on Rogers unbelievable effort.I thought Ahkello had a pick, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. It was right in front of us. He goes over and pulls it out of his hands, and it was a great play by their receiver. When the kid threw it, I thought, `Im glad he threw it. I think we got us another pick. And then all of a sudden, what a great play.Helton also was sure Darnolds pass would be intercepted by Witherspoon.He had two hands on it, and I had one hand, Rogers said. I felt like if I tucked it in faster, I could take it off of his hands. I wanted it more.After Petites tiebreaking score , Colorado (4-2, 2-1) kicked a field goal with 4:49 left, but the Trojans coolly ran out the clock. JuJu Smith-Schuster slid to the turf with a clear lane to the end zone and 1:15 to play, allowing USC to kneel it out.In the Buffaloes first game as a ranked team since Nov.dddddddddddd7, 2005, receiver Bryce Bobo threw a 67-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter and caught a tying TD pass with 10:20 to play.WINLESS WOESColorado fell to 0-11 in school history against USC in a rivalry dating to 1927.Somehow, some way, weve got to get USC, MacIntyre said. Were 0-fer right now. Weve got to get that off our back. Well do that eventually.DAVIS DOWNJustin Davis rushed for 83 yards before leaving with a high ankle sprain early in the second half for USC. Davis left the stadium on crutches.QB MOVESSteven Montez passed for 197 yards in the freshmans third straight start. Colorado career passing leader Sefo Liufau also played briefly, but he cant run much on his injured ankle, MacIntyre said.Today was just a testament to how much work we have left, Montez said. Its a humbling experience to show that we werent what we thought we are, and have so much work to do. I think it will help us in the long run. It will keep us hungry and get us focused.POLL IMPLICATIONSColorado: The Buffaloes return to the AP Top 25 after an 11-year absence could be over after one week after losing to a .500 opponent, but theyll have a chance to return quickly.THE TAKEAWAYColorado: The Buffaloes have plenty of work to do if they want to stay on top of the Pac-12 South standings. USC exposed deficiencies on both sides of the ball, but the Buffs opportunistic defense kept it close and suggested that this long-downtrodden program can hang with anybody.USC: After going 1/3 in a brutal September schedule, USC has been largely outstanding against two Pac-12 opponents in October. Helton surely will emphasize ball security in the upcoming week, because its the only thing that kept this win from being a second straight blowout of a division foe.UP NEXTColorado: The Buffs are back in Boulder to host Arizona State in another key Pac-12 South showdown.USC: The Trojans head out for their only road game of October, traveling to Arizona.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
