After a stellar performance to open the college football season against the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners, the Houston Cougars really threw themselves into the spotlight -- so much so, they are now gaining the attention of ESPNs No. 1 ranked NFL player, J.J. Watt, of the?Houston Texans.Watt opens the video discussing the young talent that the Cougars have and refers to how exciting they are to watch and how they have the city of Houston fired up. The Cougars were also mentioned?by Watt in the same company as the?Texans,?Houston Astros?and Houston Rockets,?in regard to young talent.Thats not bad for a team that went unranked for several years.The Cougars are now at No. 5 ?in?ESPNs Power Rankings?and will face?the Lamar Cardinals on Saturday at noon ET on ESPN3.-- Courtney Schellin Dennis Smith Broncos Jersey . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct.

Terrell Davis Broncos Jersey . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed.Mark Bradstock is keen to point Coneygree at the £1million bonus put up by Jockey Club Racecourses if the 2015 Gold Cup winner makes a successful return to action in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday. The Letcombe Bassett trainer welcomed the media into his boutique yard on Monday and stated he would look stupid if he swerved the challenge to go for the King George VI Chase followed by the Gold Cup should his charge strike on Merseyside this weekend.With riding arrangements for that Grade One contest still up in the air, Bradstock emphasised Coneygree has done plenty of work on the all-weather at home as well as a much-needed workout on turf in a recent visit to Haydock with two stablemates. Its wonderful to have him back, and hopefully he can build and build and build, said the trainer.I imagine he will go off in front and any softening in conditions will be a help rather than a hindrance.He never looks impressive in his work here, but he has this extraordinarily deceptive gallop that we saw to best effect when he annihilated some decent handicappers in the Denman Chase at Newbury.Bradstock and his wife Sara hope that whoever rides Coneygree at Haydock will school the gelding beforehand. With Nico de Boinville sidelined by injury, Richard Johnson is Bradstocks first choice.Hell ride him if hes available and were just waiting to hear, said Bradstock. When we get the nod, hell come in and give him a jump.The problem for the Bradstocks is the entry given on Monday to Garde La Victoire for the Shawbrook Handicap Chase at Ascot on the same day.I know theres a big race at Ascot which I havent seen the entries for, but fingers crossed hell come, the trainer said.Aidan Coleman would be the next option and if he cant take the ride we would be scratching our heads.A second alternative option is the entry given to Menorah in the Betfair Chase, but the wet weather forecast seems likely to deter connections from taking that option.Its going to be wet this week and Id be reasonably confident wed be racing on proper soft ground on Saturday, said Haydock clerk of the course Kirkland Tellwright.Looking at the bonus, Bradstock went on: If we win on Saturday we shall certainly aim him towards Kempton, as that bonus is not to be sniffed at. In fact, we would be mad not to go for it.We took him to Haydock for a proper gallop over two miles witth a young horse and then old Carruthers jumped in for the last three to four furlongs.dddddddddddd Its been so dry with us that it was his first work on grass since he came back in.Hes only run 11 times in his life and has only been beaten twice. Furthermore, he does tend to go well fresh from a break, as he showed when winning at Uttoxeter in successive seasons.Hopefully after Saturday it will be the King George, followed by the Denman Chase and then the Gold Cup. There is also the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham, but it comes closer to Kempton than Newbury.A final assessment of the Betfair Chase and the task faced by Coneygree is that the Gold Cup winner is pretty much match-fit after a satisfying journey back from the hock injury that put him on the sidelines after his comeback triumph at Sandown last season.Bradstock concluded: He had a lot of recuperation standing in his box and then progressed to being ridden out, trotting and galloping. Hes enjoyed a good, hardcore preparation.Coneygree was one of 10 horses to stand their ground for the Haydock showpiece at the five-day stage.Colin Tizzard can do little wrong this season, but his star Cue Card suffered a surprise reverse when only third in last months Charlie Hall at Wetherby.He will attempt to win the race for the third time after coasting to victory 12 months ago and scoring in 2013, but he will meet his Wetherby conqueror Irish Cavalier once again, although they will race off level weights this time.Seeyouatmidnight looked impressive in beating Bristol De Mai at Carlisle last month and represents Scottish handler Sandy Thomson.Paul Nicholls has reduced his team to just dual winner Silviniaco Conti, but he was no match for Valseur Lido on his return.Gods Own could step up in trip for Tom George after finishing well in the Old Roan, while Menorah could take his chance for Philip Hobbs.Gordon Elliott has the choice of Outlander or Roi Des Francs and there is also the possibility of Vezelay coming from France.Start a free one month trial of Racing UK and watch EVERY RACE LIVE in stunning HD from over 40 meetings.
