MADISON, Wis. -- The running game is shifting into high gear at No. 6 Wisconsin.Coach Paul Chryst said the teams depth at running back, which helped net 363 yards rushing and four touchdowns in 64 attempts against Illinois last week, is the key to providing more consistency for the offense.I really mean it when I say were going to need everyone this season, Chryst said Monday. Weve been lucky around here and everyone whos followed (Wisconsin football) knows how important it is to have multiple backs.Corey Clement is the workhorse starter, while Dare Ogunbowale is a change-of-pace and third-down back. Freshman Bradrick Shaw could be the lead back of the future, and even sophomore Taiwan Deal, who figures to get more snaps next season, got a few carries last week against Illinois.Win their last two regular season games -- Saturday against Purdue and next week against Minnesota -- and the Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) will be heading to the league championship game. Chryst said the Badgers depth bodes well for the stretch run.I think they all bring a little something different which is good, he said. There arent many positions we have on this team where weve got depth so any time you have it youre very thankful for it.Wisconsin recorded another stellar defensive effort in its 48-3 victory over Illinois. The Badgers are tied for third in the FBS in scoring defense (12.7 points per game).Ogunbowale said working against the Badgers dominant defense in practice also has aided the improvement of their running game.Those guys have been making us better. We hope weve been making them better, also, he said.Game notesStarting NT Olive Sagapolu will miss his fifth straight game Saturday when the Badgers play at Purdue (3-7, 1-6). OL Jacob Maxwell and FB Austin Ramesh are both questionable with right shoulder injuries, while backup OLB Zack Baun is questionable with a left leg injury.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Eddie Giacomin Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.

The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Washington Capitals will look for their third win over Buffalo in two weeks when they take on the Sabres on Friday night.The Capitals have suffered from inconsistent play in recent games, even in victories. After surrendering a 3-0 lead on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, Washington survived with a 4-3 overtime victory. The players still held a players-only meeting after the game.We had a little talk in here and theres some things weve got to clean up, said forward T.J. Oshie, who returned against Boston after missing seven games with a shoulder injury. I think its more of mentality than it is any systems or anything like that. Once we get a step up on somebody, weve got to get that mentality that were going to finish them off.The Capitals havent had many problems against the Sabres in recent weeks, however. Washington picked up a 3-1 win over Buffalo on Nov. 25 and a 3-2 overtime over Buffalo on Dec. 5. In their most recent game, the Capitals came back from a late 3-2 deficit before winning in overtime. Marcus Johansson had both the game-tying goal and the game-winner in the victory.Nicklas Backstrom had the game-winner in overtime against Boston on Tuesday. Backstrom leads the team with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 25 games. Captain Alex Ovechkin isnt far behind with 19 points (12 goals, seven assists) in 25 games.Goaltending has been a major strength for the Capitals this season. Starter Braden Holtby has a .923 save percentage and a 2.18 goals-against average, and backup Philipp Grubauer has a .936 save percentage and a 1.80 goals against average.dddddddddddd. Each has a win over Buffalo this season.The Sabres are hoping to be much healthier along the blue line opening the season plagued by injuries. Buffalo has been without three key defensemen for a significant period of time -- Dmitry Kulikov (lower back), Josh Gorges (foot) and Zach Bogosian (knee sprain) -- and both Kulikov and Gorges have a chance of returning against the Capitals.I feel like I could (play), Gorges said, according to the teams website. I guess well reevaluate things today and tomorrow morning, talk to doctors and the medical staff and get a better idea of whether thats possible or not.The Sabres sent defenseman Erik Burgdoerfer back to the AHLs Rochester Americans on Thursday with their blue line getting healthier. Its expected that youngster Brendan Guhle will return to his junior team after being promoted on an emergency basis.Guhle, 19, has impressed in his limited time with the big club.I dont know what I totally expected given the circumstances, given who he was playing against, Sabres head coach Bylsma said, according to the teams website. You kind of look to see how anyones going to do against (Alex) Ovechkin, against (Connor) McDavids speed, and he did a pretty good job of it, a pretty remarkable job for a young kid to step in.The Sabres are coming off a 4-3 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen had the game-winner on his first goal of the year. ' ' '
