t seems unlikely with the French, they obvio

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Starting guard Jacob Bailey understands how big this weekend could be for the Indiana Hoosiers.They havent started 2-1 in Big Ten play since 2007, havent won back-to-back home conference games since 2006 and havent beaten two ranked teams in the same season since 2004.Bailey, an Indianapolis native, wants to help change all that Saturday against No. 10 Nebraska (5-0, 2-0) .Thats obviously in the back of our heads a little bit, but thats not our goal, the fifth-year senior said when asked about pulling a second upset in three weeks. Our goal is to win one game at a time. It just so happens the next game is against Nebraska and its a highly-ranked team.After ending a seven-year bowl drought last season, the Hoosiers (3-2, 1-1) are three wins away from becoming bowl eligible for a second straight season. It would be the first time in a quarter-century Indiana has achieved that feat. After upsetting No. 17 Michigan State in overtime two weeks ago and giving No. 2 Ohio State its first serious challenge before falling 38-17 last weekend in Columbus, the Hoosiers certainly look like they will be in the mix Saturday.I knew that I wanted to be a part of an Indiana program that kind of turned this program around, Bailey said. Were not there yet. We still have a ways to go. But I think definitely, in the last five years, youve seen constant and consistent improvement. Thats really been our mantra since I got here.Theres no doubt the Hoosiers are playing better.In Wilsons first five seasons, the Hoosiers allowed 40 or more points in 28 games including five times last season. This year, under new defensive coordinator Tom Allen, the Hoosiers still havent allowed 40 and despite giving up 290 yards rushing to the Buckeyes, trailed by only one score in the third quarter.The Hoosiers even deferred after winning the coin toss, quite a change for a team that has built its reputation on scoring points and winning shootouts. Thats not necessarily the case anymore.I think thats already being spread around, linebacker Tegray Scales said after his third straight game with 10 or more tackles.But the high-scoring Cornhuskers pose a different kind of challenge for a revamped defense that has primarily used its nickel package as the base defense. Nebraska brings the nations No. 23 rushing offense (234.2 yards).Wilson has seen all this before.He matched wits with Nebraska multiple times in his last previous stop, at Oklahoma, and still believes Nebraska is one of the nations premier programs, and he hopes that a big, boisterous crowd will give the Hoosiers a boost as they try to pull off another signature win.Bailey cant wait.Thats every week playing in the Big Ten East, he said when asked about playing a third consecutive ranked foe. With this team on the rise, playing another team thats probably going to be top 10 in the country, its a great opportunity to see where were at.Note: Wilson continues to say All-American guard Dan Feeney (concussion) is making progress and could return this week. Feeney has already missed three games.---Online:APs college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Patriots Jerseys . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz.

In-form Wallabies halfback Will Genia looks certain to miss the clash with England at Twickenham after Stade Francais denied permission to allow him to play.The Wallabies will be trying to finish their spring tour on a high by ending Englands unbeaten run under former Australia coach Eddie Jones.But their hopes of a first grand slam in 32 years were ended by Ireland on Saturday in Dublin.They will have to do it without the former Queensland Reds star Genia as the match is classed as an out-of-window Test so the French club isnt obliged to release him.Right now, from the conversations weve had with Paris, theyre not releasing him, said Wallabies coach Michael Cheika.Well have another crack and see what we can do, but it seems unlikely with the French, they obviously place more importance on their game for Will than our international.Thats the way the rules are, so well just have to deal with it.We asked last night after the game and that was the response they came backk with.dddddddddddd.Australia could also be without Dean Mumm after the forward was cited following a dangerous tackle on Irelands Tadhg Furlong which saw the flanker sin-binned.Cheika has asked to speak to referees chief Alain Rolland following his the 13-3 penalty count against his side in Dublin but has yet to hear a response to his request.I dont want to talk about it (citing) beforehand, Ill talk about it afterwards because whatever you say here you dont want to be held against you when they come up into the hearing, he said.You just want to let the procedure pan out and then afterwards we can talk about it.Its obviously the citing officer, the off-field referee, who has decided that Dean has committed some offence that the on-field referees didnt see.Thats what they do. Well get our defence right and all going well, hell get cleared. ' ' '
