Indiana isn't generally considered a hotbed of football talent, going 10-26 in the last three seasons. They did have a second round selection in this past year's draft with , although he hasn't seen the field for Denver yet. When you're looking at their prospects on offense, be sure to check out #6, Tevin Coleman. The running back has had seven straight 100 yard rushing games dating back to last season, and is on pace for 2000 yards rushing this year. He's more of an all-or-nothing rusher than a guy who grinds out yards, but has shown aptitude in the receiving game as well.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - New Japan coach Javier Aguirre will continue to chop and change his lineups as he wades through the abundance of talent to find the best 23-man squad for their Asian Cup defence in January.  
  
−
Throwing him the ball is the quarterback, #7 Nate Sudfeld. The 6 foot 5, 230 pound Sudfeld has been kind of average this season after a strong sophomore campaign, but the size and athletic ability has some scouts envisioning a future Blake Bortles. Whether he's a Bortles, or more of an EJ Manuel, depends on his on-field attitude, his accuracy, and how willing he is to put velocity on the ball and drive it deep downfield.
+
The Japanese take on five-times world champions Brazil in a friendly in Singapore on Tuesday with Mexican Aguirre promising six changes to his lineup from Friday s 1-0 home success over Jamaica in Niigata.
  
−
Another prospect of note is the left tackle, #78 Jason Spriggs. He's 6 foot 6, 300 pounds, and a true junior who has started every game since he got on campus as a freshman. On defense, check out cornerback #24, Tim Bennett. He had a whopping 20 pass breakups last season, and although he's undersized at 5 foot 9, any corner who knocks the ball away that much should catch your eye.
+
It was a first win for the coach, who has had a tricky start since taking over from Alberto Zaccheroni following Japan s disappointing group stage exit at the World Cup.
  
−
Iowa has its own share of good prospects. The headliner is left tackle #68, . A 6'5" 315 pound athletic monster, he's quite strong and has developed his technique well under coach Kirk Ferentz. He's in the running to be the first tackle selected this year. Also worth watching on the offensive line, RG #65 , a redshirt junior who might also be able to handle center in the NFL. For the defense, defensive tackles  (#71) and  (#90) are both worth watching.
+
He has been quick to hand debuts to untested talents in the opening 2-0 home defeat by Uruguay, 1-1 draw with Venezuela and the Jamaica win with more expected before they head to Australia for the Asian Cup in January.

No. 2 Auburn at No. 3 Mississippi State<br>

We need to find out the 23 players for it and so far I have surprisingly found so many good talents in the J-League -- and there are more than 20 players overseas, the former Atletico Madrid boss told reporters on Monday.

3:30 PM<br>CBS

−
Man, why would they do this to us? The 3:30 slot is absolutely loaded with top-ranked teams playing each other, so take your pick between this game (possibly the best matchup yet this year), No. 9 TCU at No. 5 Baylor, or #12 Oregon at #18 UCLA. Oh yeah, and #6 Notre Dame and #8 Michigan State are also playing other teams during this timeslot.

The Dak Prescott watch continues as the quarterback mounts his Heisman campaign for the undefeated Bulldogs. With running back #34, , at his side, he's able to rip through defenses on the ground as well as through the air. Their defense is formidable, too. Linebacker #50 Bernardrick McKinney is a fantastic athlete, although he hasn't settled into a position on the defense yet. Safety #9  and defensive end #91  should both be on your radar as potential late-round guys.
+
We have an abundance of talent actually so I think the time is enough and in terms of the selection so far so good although the results haven t come yet.  
  
−
Auburn continues to be loaded with talent even after losing guys like and  to the draft last year. The prospect with the best chance to rise to a top pick is probably WR #18, Sammie Coates. He's a 6 foot 2, 200 pound blend of freakish athleticism, but has been limited by injury most of the season so far. He did turn in a 100 yard receiving performance last week against LSU, which has scouts excited for watching him this week.
+
  (But) this is what exactly I want, a difficulty situation. We have no home games in the Asian Cup and I wanted to have an environment to fight, I want to fight against a team that is difficult to beat, he added of the step up in class of Brazil.
  
−
Looking for a center? You want to watch #50, Reese Dismukes. He's started 42 straight games going back to his freshman year, is a team captain, and gets lots of praise from his coaching staff. Quarterback Nick Marshall is an interesting one. Everything about him screams "athlete without position in the NFL," but he has incredible velocity on his throws, which keeps scouts watching. His likely outcome is as a gadget player a la  at the next level.
+
One of the six changes will be Borussia Dortmund playmaker Shinji Kagawa, who will miss the Singapore fixture and is back in Germany after suffering concussion following a blow to the jaw against the Jamaicans.
  
−
Auburn's defense has been a big reason why they're undefeated so far. Two names to watch there are defensive tackle #90 , and cornerback #6 Jonathan Mincy.
+
Brazil are also under new management following the World Cup with former skipper Dunga returning for a second stint after previously stepping down following the quarter-final exit at the 2010 finals in South Africa.
  
−
Penn State at Michigan<br>
+
They have won their opening three matches, including a 2-0 success over arch-rivals Argentina in Beijing on Saturday, and are yet to concede a goal as they try to move on from the embarrassing 7-1 semi-defeat by Germany at their home tournament.

7:00 PM EST<br>ESPN2 and WatchESPN<br>

Allow me to offer my sympathies to Michigan fans. When studying up on the matchup while writing this article, I had to read some very depressing articles. I have no idea how things got as bad as they did, but at least that means they can only get better, right?
+
  
−
There are only a few reasons we're watching Michigan. One is #87 Devin Funchess. The 6'5" WR/TE is the only worthwhile draft-eligible prospect on their offense, and has a rare combination of size and speed that reminds some of Mike Evans. Unfortunately, the quarterback throwing him the ball, , has completely collapsed this season, and isn't making opportunities easy for Funchess.
+
Aguirre said he expects the Brazilians to dominate possession on Singapore s sandy pitch and wants to see his side pressure their opponents better after defensive lapses in the opening two home matches last month.
  
−
On defense, there's not a whole much worth salvaging from a team that allowed to throw for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns. But linebacker #47, , is the best of the bunch, and should be around the ball often this weekend.
+
  We are going to take a 4-3-3 system as usual but we would like to make it compact, he said through a translator.  
  
−
Penn State has had a good start to the season, although sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg's stats are down. Don't be fooled though - he has a rare level of pocket poise and arm talent, and could develop into a future first round pick over the next year or two. Junior left tackle #76  came into the year with an optimistic projection, but he hasn't been helped by starting alongside 4(!) freshmen on the line. If you're looking at tight ends, you have to watch #18, Jesse James. He's 6 foot 7, 270 pounds, put up 27 bench press reps at a recent cancer fundraising strength competition, and reportedly runs in the 4.6 40 range. He has 15 receptions for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns this season, but against a bad Michigan defense, he could have a big game.
+
We need to try and keep the defensive line of around 40 metres (from goal). For the last few games I think maybe we gave too much space in between (defence and midfield) so we would like to keep it compact.
  
−
For the Penn State defense, pay attention to LB #43, ; FS #4, ; and DE #86 CJ Olaniyan. Olaniyan in particular might be amped up for a big game, since he grew up in Michigan before heading to Penn State.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com/19-porte-monnaie>Porte-Monnaie</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com/18-pochette-louis-vuitton>Pochette Louis Vuitton</a></li><li><a href=http://www.louisvuitton-pascher.com/21-sacs-du-soir>Sacs du soir Louis Vuitton</a></li></ul>

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - New Japan coach Javier Aguirre will continue to chop and change his lineups as he wades through the abundance of talent to find the best 23-man squad for their Asian Cup defence in January. 

The Japanese take on five-times world champions Brazil in a friendly in Singapore on Tuesday with Mexican Aguirre promising six changes to his lineup from Friday s 1-0 home success over Jamaica in Niigata.

It was a first win for the coach, who has had a tricky start since taking over from Alberto Zaccheroni following Japan s disappointing group stage exit at the World Cup.

He has been quick to hand debuts to untested talents in the opening 2-0 home defeat by Uruguay, 1-1 draw with Venezuela and the Jamaica win with more expected before they head to Australia for the Asian Cup in January.

We need to find out the 23 players for it and so far I have surprisingly found so many good talents in the J-League -- and there are more than 20 players overseas, the former Atletico Madrid boss told reporters on Monday. 

We have an abundance of talent actually so I think the time is enough and in terms of the selection so far so good although the results haven t come yet. 

(But) this is what exactly I want, a difficulty situation. We have no home games in the Asian Cup and I wanted to have an environment to fight, I want to fight against a team that is difficult to beat, he added of the step up in class of Brazil.

One of the six changes will be Borussia Dortmund playmaker Shinji Kagawa, who will miss the Singapore fixture and is back in Germany after suffering concussion following a blow to the jaw against the Jamaicans.

For Brazil, since Dunga took charge, three out of their four goals have come from set pieces so we need to be aware.
