FORT WORTH, Texas -- When Gary Patterson coaches his school-record 202nd game for TCU, he can easily put in perspective what that means by looking at Bill Snyder on the other side of the field.Snyder will be going for his 201st win with Kansas State when the two bowl-bound teams play Saturday.I saw what Coach Snyder said on his 200th win, not his 200th game, just a lot of people that have made a lot of sacrifices, Patterson said. The guy sitting in my chair takes a lot of grief but also gets probably too much credit some time for what they did and how they do it.Patterson is already TCUs winningest coach with 149 wins in his 16 seasons, and will break a tie with Dutch Meyer for the most games as head coach when the Horned Frogs (6-5, 4-4 Big 12) face his alma mater. A Kansas native, Patterson played at K-State and was a graduate assistant for the Wildcats before Snyder got there.Kansas State (7-4, 5-3), which plays its 307th game in 25 seasons under Snyder, will finish no worse than a tie for fourth in the Big 12 after being picked eighth in the preseason poll. Snyders 200th victory came last week in a win over instate rival Kansas.It is about possessing the commitment to reach the highest capabilities that you have and improve toward that end as an individual, day in and day out, Snyder said about his team, which has won four of its last five games. When you do that, then collectively you are going to make some progress.Some things to know when Kansas State and TCU play:BOWL DESTINATIONSA trip to the Texas Bowl in Houston to face an SEC team could be next for the winner of Saturdays game. The Texas Bowl gets the fourth pick from available Big 12 teams. The loser is likely headed to the Liberty Bowl to play an SEC team in Memphis or the Cactus Bowl against a Pac-12 team in Phoenix. The Wildcats will be going to a bowl for the seventh season in a row and 19th time under Snyder. TCU will be in a bowl for the 14th time in Pattersons 16 full seasons.RUNNING CATSKansas State has rushed for 924 yards and 14 touchdowns in its last three games, and the Wildcats have five consecutive 200-yard games -- their longest Big 12 streak since 2003. Banged-up quarterback Jesse Ertz is their leading rusher (71 yards per game) and redshirt freshman running back Alex Barnes has back-to-back 100-yard games. If we have the capacity to run the football, then we will do that, Snyder said.RECEIVING RUNNERKyle Hicks can run and catch for TCU. He leads the team with 894 yards rushing and 40 receptions, putting him on pace to be the first TCU player to lead the team in both categories since Basil Mitchell in 1996.SO SIMILARIn Big 12 games this season, Kansas State is averaging 30.6 points a game, and TCU 30.5. On defense, the Wildcats are giving up 27.2 points per game, just less than Pattersons defense allowing 27.9 points per game.UNEXPECTED FINISHWe were picked eighth in the conference and everything that we have accomplished so far was not expected from us, Kansas State junior linebacker Trent Tanking said. We could go from the team that was considered young and inexperienced to the team that can finish strong with eight wins in the regular season. I think having a 6-3 record in a conference would be a great accomplishment.ANOTHER COOL, WET FINALE?TCUs regular-season finale at home last season, a double-overtime win over Baylor, was played in a steady rain with temperatures in the 30s. I was cold, but ... It was awesome, Patterson said. The forecast this week calls for rain, heavy at times, with temperatures in the 40s.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Cheap Shoes Australia Sale .

Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. CLEVELAND -- After weeks of being broken and bloodied, the Indians pitching staff might have reinforcements in the World Series.Starter Danny Salazar, who hasnt pitched since Sept. 9 because of tightness in his right forearm, has thrown well in recent bullpen sessions and might be able to pitch for the first time this postseason.Manager Terry Francona said Friday that Salazar has let it go during some recent workouts and has not been restricted to throwing only fastballs and changeups.I think hes ready to pitch, Francona said as the AL champions awaited their Series opponent.Salazar will throw a three-inning simulated game Saturday, and the Indians will assess his status before deciding whether to include him on their World Series roster. Salazar went 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 25 starts, but Francona said its possible the hard-throwing right-hander could be used in relief.I think the good news is if Danny pitches and he pitches healthy and hes throwing the ball over the plate, we have a really good pitcher for however amount of innings hes built up for, which can potentially help us, he said.The loss of Salazar and Carlos Carrasco, who broke his right hand when he was hit by a line drive Sept. 17, has forced Francona to juggle his rotation and be creative with a bullpen that has been extraordinary in October.A healthy Salazar would give Francona an interesting weapon, as he might be able to pair him with rookie Ryan Merritt for a start or use him with Mike Cleviinger.ddddddddddddThe Indians are also hoping Trevor Bauer will be available, after his Game 4 start in the AL Championship Series lasted less than an inning when his stitched right pinkie opened up, and he had to be replaced because of excessive bleeding.Bauer sliced his finger open while repairing a drone prior to the ALCS, an unusual accident that put added strain on Clevelands staff. Bauer said Friday that his finger is healing and hes confident the added rest before the series opens will allow him to pitch. The quirky right-hander was asked when hed be ready.Game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, he said.Francona was told of Bauers comments.That would be a little better than the last series, he said.Francona said the team met with hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham to discuss Bauers progress. After Bauers workout Friday, Graham was going to add another suture.He thinks its healing really good. Theres just that one area down at the bottom where the skin isnt quite as healthy as the rest of it, Francona said. So hes going to suture it back up so it wont bleed. Thats really the only issue, and hes very confident that this is not going to be an issue.Indians ace Corey Kluber is expected to start Tuesdays Series opener, but Francona has not made any formal announcement, as he wants to get through the next two days before setting his rotation.
