d half of last Saturdays 42-16 loss to Washington State.He got banged up over the course of the game and it didnt make sense to put him back in, Shaw said. We will be cautious with him as with ever

STANFORD, Calif. -- Running back Christian McCaffrey status for Stanfords game against Notre Dame may not be clear until Saturday morning, coach David Shaw said Tuesday.Last years Heisman Trophy runner-up did not play most of the second half of last Saturdays 42-16 loss to Washington State.He got banged up over the course of the game and it didnt make sense to put him back in, Shaw said. We will be cautious with him as with everybody else. I will have no answer until Friday or maybe Saturday.Stanford (3-2) plays at Notre Dame (2-4) on Saturday.After rushing for 436 yards over his first three games, all victories, the junior has been limited to 84 total rushing yards over his last two games, both losses.McCaffrey averages 188.2 all-purpose yards, third in the FBS. But he has not scored a touchdown since Week 2 and has just three on the season.Stanford averaged 2.3 yards per rushing attempt against the Cougars and McCaffreys 35 yards were his fewest since gaining 19 against California two years ago.There are a few things we need to clean up to give our running backs a clear running lane, Cardinal lineman David Bright said. We havent been the best offensive line in protecting the passer either. Weve stressed being an efficient offense on first and second downs.Shaw called the play of the offensive line spotty at best, though he did not put the entire blame on that unit.We have been inconsistent one through 11, Shaw said. It looks like the offensive line because we didnt run with any efficiency early in the game and because of the sacks. We all have a hand in it.Game notes WR Francis Owusu, who sustained a concussion against UCLA, needs to pass one final test before hes cleared. ...

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Tom Izzo is headed into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, a highlight in a sad stretch of the Michigan State coachs life that included the loss of his father. The Spartans were also a rare first-round loser in the NCAA Tournament.Its been a bizarre year, Izzo said in an interview with The Associated Press. There have been a lot of ups and downs. Going into the Hall of Fame isnt something I even dreamed about so its hard to think about what it will be like until I get there.Izzo will be inducted Friday night in a class that includes Allen Iverson, Shaquille ONeal, Yao Ming and Sheryl Swoopes.Magic Johnson said Izzo and ONeal asked him to present them, but the Hall of Fame point guard had to decline because he and his wife made plans a year ago to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary this weekend.Johnson said it was heartbreaking, to pass on the invitation.What I really love about Tom is, hes made it a family affair at Michigan State, Johnson, who led the Spartans to a national title in 1979 with coach Jud Heathcote, Izzos mentor, told The AP. Every player, whether they played for him or not, always comes back. Hes made it a program that now, year in and year out, were always contending not just for the Big Ten championship, but also for a national championship.Izzo, who will be presented by Gary Williams, won the 2000 NCAA title and has made six other Final Four appearances, the last in 2015. He has won five Big Ten regular season and five conference tournament championships in his 21-season career. His 524 wins trail only Bob Knight at Indiana for most victories at a Big Ten school.Carl Izzo died at the age of 90 in December, about three months before Middle Tennessee State stunned second-seeded Michigan State in one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history.Izzos 90-year-old mother, Dorothy, plans to attend the induction ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts.Heathcote, whho pushed for his little-known assistant to succeed him in 1995, said he will not be able to make the trip.ddddddddddddWhen we won a championship with Magic early in my career, I thought we would get back to the Final Four to win some more, Heathcote said in a telephone interview Wednesday. But we were there for 16 more years and never got back. Thats what makes what Tom has done unbelievable to me.Believe it or not, those who know Izzo best predict the honor of being inducted will be far from a final achievement for him.I think its only going to make him work harder, said former NBA standout Steve Smith, the first player Izzo recruited to Michigan State as an assistant coach. Hell create doubters and haters in his head that will push him to prove he belongs in the Hall of Fame.Izzo didnt argue the point.I still think I have a lot of desire to win, he said. My mentors, including my dad, Jud and Nick Saban, and even Vince Lombardi when I was growing up, showed how you should work hard to be successful year after year after year. I feel like I still have a lot to do.After taking part in Hall of Fame-related festivities Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Izzo planned to fly back to the Midwest to recruit on Sunday.He is expected to have a good team, maybe not a great one, after losing some standouts, including Player of the Year Denzel Valentine.Coach is a high-class person and a blue-collar guy, who worked his way up and does things the right way and thats why everyone looks up to him, said Valentine, who was drafted in the first round by the Chicago Bulls. And whats great is, I have known him since I was 5 or 6 and used to go the games and he has stayed the same during good times and bad.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Authentic Nike Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Tennessee Titans Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Denver Broncos Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Green Bay Packers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike New England Patriots Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Seattle Seahawks Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Carolina Panthers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Cleveland Browns Jerseys Cheap Cheap Throwback Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Atlanta Braves Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Baltimore Orioles Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Boston Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago Cubs Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago White Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cincinnati Reds Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cleveland Indians Jerseys ' ' '
