(STATS) -- The Citadel didnt lose a game to an FCS opponent all season, but it found itself in desperate need of a fourth-quarter comeback on numerous occasions.Perhaps no team was more convinced it had the Bulldogs beaten than Wofford.The Terriers couldnt close it out in October, but theyll get another crack at their Southern Conference rivals Saturday in Charleston with a trip to the quarterfinals on the line.The Citadel (10-1) trailed their first three opponents in the final three minutes before rallying, and though the deficit never quite got to that particularly late state October 22 in Spartanburg, Wofford (9-3) seemed to be well on its way to busting the Bulldogs perfect start. But Brandon Goodsons ill-advised option pitch was picked off by SoCon defensive player of the year Kailik Williams and returned for a 13-yard score with 5:57 left, knotting the score at 21.In overtime, another mistake proved to be one too many. After the Bulldogs Cody Clark kicked a 21-yard field goal on the opening possession, running back Will Gay fumbled at the 13, with the Terriers fourth turnover of the day closing out a Citadel victory.It was a win, but it felt a little bit like a loss on that day, Bulldogs coach Brent Thompson said. Not a high point of our 2016 season.If The Citadel felt that guilty about a victory, its easy to imagine how the other side felt.This is one that will stick in your craw for a while, coach Mike Ayers said.Not too long, evidently. Wofford closed the regular season on a four-game winning streak with a 36-28 win at Chattanooga providing its signature victory, then slipped past Charleston Southern 15-14 in the first round on Lorenzo Longs 32-yard run late in the third quarter.Our mission was that we were going to win out and maybe see (The Citadel) later on, Wofford linebacker Terrance Morris told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. Look what happened.There will be no mysteries at Johnson Hagood Stadium on Saturday. Both teams run the triple option. Both are among the top five rushing teams in the nation, with The Citadels 358.5 yards per game at No. 1. Both have 32 touchdowns on the ground.The difference could come on the defensive side. Wofford allows just 2.7 yards per carry, 1.3 fewer than The Citadel gives up, and those differentials held true in October. The Bulldogs averaged 3.7 yards on 51 carries and the Terriers toted it 60 times for 5.0 per carry.But, oh, those turnovers.Im treating it just like any other game -- at least Im trying to, Gay said of the rematch. Im trying not to overthink it. Once we get there, I know Ill be thinking a lot about (the fumble). It will make me go even harder.If he can go at all. Gay and fellow running back Lennox McAfee left the Charleston Southern game with injuries, and while Gay came back in to return a punt -- seemingly leaving him at least questionable -- McAfee was carted off with a leg issue.Theyre hardly the only ones. Both starting inside linebackers -- Lincoln Stewart and Datavious Wilson -- were also hurt against the Buccaneers, with Stewart needing to be carried off after lying motionless after a tackle. It turned out to be nothing more than a pinched nerve, and Stewart may play this week. Hes the third Terriers linebacker to be carted off with a frightening injury this season after Michael Roach went into cardiac arrest and John Patterson suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck.The Bulldogs are healthier, though slotback Cam Jackson is questionable after missing two games with a bruised thigh, and have had a week to rest. But like a lot of teams at this time of year, theyre not exactly looking forward to facing an opponent theyve seen before.Its not something we were looking forward to, facing a SoCon opponent, Thompson said. Especially an opponent that knows you so well, and weve had some really good football games over the last few years with them.Both teams have reliable kickers, though theres no question which has the bigger leg. Woffords David Marvin hit 15 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season, going a remarkable 5 of 6 from beyond 50 yards. He did miss from 49 in the first game against The Citadel, though, a kick that could have made the difference.But it starts on the ground. Tyler Renew is the Bulldogs 1,000-yard back, and he knows a similar offensive performance to the October meeting could leave his team one-and-done this postseason.Our fundamentals were pretty poor the first time we played them, and we practiced that a lot in the last week, Renew said. Were excited to take the field Saturday, execute really well and perform at a high level. Air Force 1 n7 . PAUL, Minn. Air Force 1 Alte Special Field .

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Things sure do get wild in West Virginia whenever Oklahoma comes to town.In the first meeting of top 10 teams in the Big 12 this season, the eighth-ranked Sooners (8-2, 7-0 Big 12, No. 9 CFP) will try to keep their faint national playoff hopes going on Saturday night, along with the consolation prize of moving closer to a league title.Then theres No. 10 West Virginia, which badly wants its first league crown but needs some help along the way.The Mountaineers (8-1, 5-1, No. 14 CFP) also want to put to rest the notion that its not up to par with Oklahoma, which is the only Big 12 team that West Virginia hasnt beaten since joining the league in 2012.Ive been here a long time, 0-4 against Oklahoma, said West Virginia center Tyler Orlosky. Obviously you want to win this game and itll set you up for the rest of the season, finish out strong. And hopefully we do.West Virginia has the Big 12s stingiest defense, allowing 20.6 points per game. Chances out that goes out the window in a series that has seen two high-scoring games in Morgantown.In 2012, Oklahoma needed a last-second TD pass by Landry Jones to beat the Mountaineers 50-49 in a game that featured 1,440 yards of offense .Two years later, the teams combined for 1,013 yards, Oklahomas Samaje Perine ran for 242 yards and four scores , and the Sooners won 45-33.Oklahoma has a 14-game conference winning streak. Its last three road games have been decided by 10 points or less.Theres always a certain challenge and energy to playing on the road to a rowdy crowd, said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. The guys kind of unify, and bond, and its sort of you against all of them, and you can get a charge out of that.---Some other things to note when the Sooners and Mountaineers meet on what could be a cold, rainy night:TITLE FOCUS: Oklahoma or No. 13 Oklahoma State can win the Big 12 title if one of them wins theiir remaining games.dddddddddddd The Sooners can wrap it up with a win Saturday coupled with an Oklahoma State loss at TCU.

Austin starred at West Virginia. In 2012, he had a school-record 344 rushing yards and league-record 572 all-purpose yards against the Sooners, a performance that Westbrook enjoyed watching while attending junior college. That guy was awesome, Westbrook said.WVU RBS: Coach Dana Holgorsen said he wasnt sure of the status of West Virginia running backs Rushel Shell and Justin Crawford, who playing sparingly last week with injuries. That left freshman Kennedy McKoy to get the bulk of the carries in a 24-20 win over Texas . McKoy ran for 73 yards and West Virginia had a season-low 114 yards on the ground in struggling to close out the Longhorns after building a two-touchdown lead.PASS RUSHERS APPLY: If the Mountaineers want to get to Mayfield, theyd better get busy.
