DAVIE, Fla. -- Former Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster is expected to make his debut with the Miami Dolphins on Friday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Dolphins head coach Adam Gase.Foster, who is returning from an Achilles injury, missed last weeks preseason opener against the New York Giants due to a coachs decision.Right now Im pretty sure hes going to go, Gase said of Foster. So unless I change my mind for some reason, I want to see him get in there with that first group and get him a feel for how they operate.Foster began training camp on the physically unable to perform list but has practiced with Miami the past two weeks. Hes looked mostly solid running and catching and is in a close competition for a starting job with second-year running back Jay Ajayi. Both running backs have shared time with the first team.The Houston Texans cut Foster this offseason after he played just four games due to injury last season. He has 6,472 career rushing yards and 68 total touchdowns.

Cheap Air Max 1 . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Cheap Air Max Sale . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. INDIANAPOLIS -- ?When the top four teams won this weekend, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee won a reprieve. The 12 representatives who will bask in the glow of their computer screens on Selection Day dont have to choose among equals.One can argue that No. 4 Washingtons 41-10 rout of No. 8 Colorado, coupled with No. 3 Clemsons 42-35 defeat of No. 23 Virginia Tech, means that the Huskies and Tigers should switch. But its hard to argue against rewarding the only four Power 5 teams that finished the season with one loss or fewer.No. 7 Penn State can make a compelling case, given that it won the Big Ten by a score of 38-31 over No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium and defeated No. 2 Ohio State during the regular season. But the Buckeyes wont be the first team to lose and advance beyond a team that beat them.Florida State won the 1993 wire-service national championship over Notre Dame, a result that will send former Irish head coach Lou Holtzs blood pressure off the chart to this day. Seven years later, the Seminoles lost to Miami yet finished ahead of the Hurricanes in the BCS standings. It didnt help the young BCS credibility when Oklahoma pounded Florida State in the national championship game.Now, in Year 3, the credibility of the College Football Playoff will be tested on Selection Day. Those of us who like sports because there are clear-cut winners and losers hoped for no upsets and hoped the committee wouldnt have to make an impossible decision. After Penn State won Saturday night, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany refused the opportunity to pick among his constituents.I dont know what it means, Delany said. Is the Clemson game over?The Tigers had won.All the votes are in, Delany said. Ill be watching like everybody else.If No. 5 Michigan is mad about playing in the Capital One Orange Bowl, then the Wolverines should have done better than 2-2 on the road.Penn State could, like No. 10 USC, make a case that it is one of the four best teams in the country on Dec. 3. Picture a world, if you will, in which the roles this weekend were reversed. Penn State would be No. 2 and Wisconsin No. 5, and No. 6 Ohio State would play No. 7 Michigan for the Big Ten Championship. Does anyone think that Big Ten champion would be left out of the playoff?When the commissioners assembled the playoff four years ago, Delany pushed for the field to be the four best conference champions. He lost that argument. The College Football Playoff is trying to identify the four best teams based on -- all together now -- their entire body of work.That means games in September matter. Thats why Stanford didnt make the playoff a year ago, after it lost to Norrthwestern on Labor Day weekend.dddddddddddd Penn State lost to Pitt 39-36 in Week 2, which should bring a warm feeling to every Panther fan of a certain age who wants to resurrect the once-bitter annual rivalry with the Nittany Lions. Hey, Pitt, you just cost Penn State a shot at the national championship.The Nittany Lions mostly chose to not make their case for the playoff. The players did so with a smile. Junior middle linebacker Jason Cabinda, asked if he had any doubt that Penn State is one of the four best teams in the nation, said, Thats what I believe. We can hang with anybody in the country. No doubt.Thats where he stopped.Well hear whats announced, Cabinda said. Well be really appreciative of that opportunity. We cant wait to play that next game, regardless of who its against.The head coach spoke up a little more, which James Franklin does with the way he breathes. Its an involuntary muscular contraction.Every time I turn on the TV or read an article, people said this year the Big Ten Conference was by far the strongest conference in college football, Franklin said. Ive heard that over and over again. We just won the Big Ten Conference championship. ... So I think we can make a great case for ourselves.Barring a change of heart by the selection committee, Penn State will play in the Rose Bowl, the first prize among consolation prizes. It pains me to type that sentence.But there is, as Franklin went on to say, a lot to celebrate. Penn State won its first Big Ten championship since 2008 -- a lifetime ago if youre a Nittany Lion. Everyone in the Happy Valley was a lot younger then.The discord and travails of the past five years in State College might be why this team becomes as beloved as the 1992 Kentucky basketball team, the Unforgettables, the Wildcats who lost to Duke and Christian Laettners buzzer-beater in a regional final. All Kentucky had to overcome was NCAA probation.The Nittany Lions displayed a microcosm of their entire season: they started slow, falling behind the Badgers 28-7 in the second quarter. But once Penn State got a little momentum, the Nittany Lions couldnt be stopped. Quarterback Trace McSorley threw for 384 yards, a personal best and a Big Ten Championship Game record, and four touchdowns, also a game record.We dont want to be a second-half team, senior receiver DaeSean Hamilton said after the game. Thats just how things worked out for us all season. ... We never had a sense of panic. Thats what makes this team special.This year, that will have to be enough. This year, it just might be. ' ' '
