SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- ??? Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was asked about the challenges he faces going against Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, who he has faced four times and followed as coach at Cincinnati.Hes only about 190 pounds, so I dont have much of a challenge with him, he quipped. But their team is a challenge, if thats what you mean.The 12th-ranked Spartans (1-0) and 18th-ranked Fighting Irish (1-1) play on Saturday night, ending a two-year gap in the series that dates to 1897 and has been played regularly since 1948. Both teams have something to prove.The Spartans, who have finished ranked in the top six the past three seasons, are looking to show they are ready to be playoff contenders after an unimpressive 28-13 win over Furman. The Irish are looking to stay alive in the playoff race following a season-opening loss at No. 11 Texas.Dantonio said he has a lot to learn about his team.I think we have a good football team. I think weve got players. So, that remains to be seen, he said.Players on both teams say they expect a physical game. Spartans linebacker Riley Bullough recalled how hard-hitting the game was in a 17-13 Irish victory in 2013, the Spartans only loss that season.Notre Dame was a physical, fast, violent team. Kind of the same things that we pride ourselves on, he said.Notre Dame linebacker James Onwualu, who played in that 2013 game, describes the Spartans as hard-nosed.Everybodys been saying physical, physical, physical, he said.Kelly told his players they must remain poised.This is not a boxing match. This is not UFC, he said. What we cant get caught up in is the emotion of a game like this where words turn into poor actions.Other things to be aware of involving the Michigan State-Notre Dame game:WAITING GAMEMichigan State wasnt off last week because the Spartans wanted extra time to prepare for Notre Dame. It was because Alabama in 2013 canceled a pair of games against the Spartans. Dantonio concedes it wasnt an ideal time for an off week.I dont think there is anybody in our program that wanted to sit last weekend, he said.RETURNING PLAYERSMichigan State linebacker Ed Davis is expected to play after being granted a sixth year of eligibility because he missed last season with a knee injury. Dantonio said he doesnt know how much Davis will play. Davis was a starting linebacker for the Spartans in 2014, when he had 58 tackles and seven sacks.Kelly said receiver Torii Hunter Jr., who sat out against Nevada after sustaining a concussion against Texas, will play.TIGHT ENDSLast season, Notre Dame tight ends had a combined 20 receptions, the fewest in a season for the Irish since the tight ends had eight in 2001. Through two games the only Notre Dame tight end with a catch is Durham Smythe with one for eight yards. Kelly said the tight ends are still part of the game plan.If hes open and hes part of our progression, weve got to get the ball to them. Were just not going to force it to him, he said.RANKED GAMESMichigan State is 6-2 against ranked opponents the past three seasons. Notre Dame is 5-8.COACHING ADVICEKelly said he still gets hand-written notes weekly about the previous weeks games from 93-year-old Ara Parseghian, the Notre Dame coaching great who led the Irish to a famous 10-10 tie against the Spartans in 1966.I keep them all, Kelly said. They are for me they are inspirational in a sense that at 90-something years old he takes the time to write me a note and I can read them.Kelly said he keeps the notes in a book.---Online: AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org Nike Air Max 270 Noir .

Durham 193 for 2 (MacLeod 83, Stoneman 82*) beat Derbyshire 180 for 9 (Broom 68, Durston 44, Borthwick 3-33) by 13 runsScorecard Mark Stoneman and Calum MacLeod shared Durhams record Twenty20 stand of 141 as they beat Derbyshire by 13 runs at Emirates Riverside.Both teams went into the match knowing that victory could get them into the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals if either Warwickshire or Yorkshire lost.Warwickshire duly obliged, so Durham overtook them to go through in fourth place. It was due reward for amassing 193 for two, to which Derbyshire replied with 180 for 9.The visitors were up with the rate while skipper Wes Durston was making 44 off 26 balls, but when he was third out in the eighth over they lost momentum.It looked too tall an order by the time New Zealanders Neil Broom and Jimmy Neesham needed 99 off the last eight overs and left-hander Neesham holed out at long-on for six.Shiv Thakor revived hopes with three sixes off the spinners in making 26 off ten balls, but once he had skied Scott Borthwick to cover it was as good as over.Although Broom showed his class in making 68 off 43 balls, Derbyshire threw wickets away in desperation and slipped to 150 for eight before debutant wicketkeeper Alex Mellor, on loan from Warwickshire, helped to put on 26 before Broom was well caught by MacLeod at long-on in the final over.Stoneman, who is joining Surrey at the end of the season, batted through the Durham innings for 82 off 56 balls, with eight fours and one six, while MacLeods 83 came off 50 balls and included three sixes.He also shared the countys previous T20 record stand of 126, set with John Hastings aagainst Northants two years ago.dddddddddddd Stoneman hit four fours through the off side in the first three overs, two of them in the third as Ben Cotton conceded 14.Keaton Jennings, taking Phil Mustards place at the top of the order, also began to find the boundary in a stand of 48. Stoneman, on 23, survived a steepler to Neesham, backtracking from mid-off, in an eventful sixth over from Thakor.Jennings followed up by twice driving the medium pacer down the ground, but when he tried for a third wide of mid-off Chesney Hughes flung himself to his right and held a sensational catch.Jennings exit halted the boundaries until MacLeod hit the last two balls of the tenth over for four and six. He swept Durstons off spin behind square then lifted him over long-on to take the score to 89 after ten.Thakor conceded only six runs in the 16th over, but then went for 17 in the 18th, leaving Neesham with the best figures of one for 25 after conceding only seven in the final over, when he also had MacLeod caught at short fine leg.Derbyshire lost Hamish Rutherford for one in the first over, when he pulled straight to mid-wicket as Chris Rushworth picked up 2 for 14 in three overs. His other victim was Chesney Hughes, who chipped the first ball to mid-wicket when Rushworth returned for the sixth over.At 51 for 2 after the powerplay, Derbyshire were two ahead of Durham at the same stage. But Durston departed for 44, made off 26 balls, when he tried to paddle Jennings medium pace to fine leg and was bowled.
