STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- National rankings and bowl games didnt matter a whole lot to Brandon Bell when the linebacker committed to Penn State, a program then under unprecedented NCAA sanctions.Four years later, the usually stoic linebacker found himself considering his teams sudden ascension Tuesday after its biggest win in front of more than 107,000 fans and a national audience.Its great, definitely, Bell said. Its definitely not over though.With five games left, No. 24 Penn State (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) can make a run at a conference championship but faces plenty of hurdles.Before considering theyd need No. 2 Michigan and No. 6 Ohio State to lose some games, the Nittany Lions first need to find their game away from the friendly raucous of Beaver Stadium. Theyve lost seven straight true road games and eight of 10 since 2014 but can turn that around against Purdue (3-4, 1-3) with a win at Ross-Ade Stadium.A player who enjoys being smack-talked and says he thrives on hostile energy, Bell has always liked the challenge of playing on the road. Bells played in all but two of those road games and said the trick is to maintain your energy level throughout the game, something thats easier to do with an atmosphere like the one Penn State last played in.With Ross-Ade Stadium less than half the size of their facility, Penn State coach James Franklin said players will have to bring their own juice.Penn State players know theyll need it. Some had already taken notice of Purdue before taking the field following a massive pyrotechnics display on Saturday night. As he waited to head over to the stadium, tight end Mike Gesicki watched parts of Purdues 27-14 loss to No. 8 Nebraska.I think that people are kind of disrespecting Purdue, Gesicki said. They gave Nebraska a very tough time in the first half and Nebraska is obviously one of the toughest teams in the country.And one that plays an offensive style Penn State hasnt faced yet.Purdue quarterback David Blough has passed for more than 767 yards with seven touchdowns in his last two games. He completed nearly 60 percent of his throws against Nebraska working Purdues short and intermediate passing game in its first game since Darrell Hazell was fired.These type of teams, they kind of pass it to open up the run, Bell said. At the same time, definitely got to be more read-oriented on the wide receivers and tight ends. The teams going to try to make you look this way and then throw it back this way. Definitely got to be able to keep your head on a swivel.Interim coach Gerad Parker will coach his second game after changing up the Boilermakers approach in the wake of Hazells Oct. 16 dismissal.Change has happened, so we changed a lot of things in our routine, Parker said. You need to demand out of yourself that you believe and think a different way, that the minds a powerful thing and then take off and move faster out on that practice field so youll move faster during the game.Despite its road woes, Penn States practice plan wont change, although Franklin altered his schedule due to a funeral on Tuesday. He did opt for one adjustment earlier in the week, however. On Sunday, Franklin sat in on the offensive and defensive meetings to make sure the postgame excitement from the Ohio State win had died down.We dont need to change our approach on the back end, and you know, its business as usual for us, Franklin said. It was a great game. It was a great environment and it was great to see our players go out and play well and it was great to see the fans enjoy it so much, and our alumni and Lettermen and all those things. But again, its on to the next game. Nike Air Max Sko Tilbud .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks.

MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho got his own back on great managerial rival Pep Guardiola as Manchester United beat a weakened Manchester City 1-0 in the fourth round of the English League Cup on Wednesday, with Juan Mata scoring the second-half winner.Six weeks after Citys 2-1 win at Old Trafford in the Premier League, United got a measure of revenge as Mourinhos decision to play a virtually full-strength team paid off.Mata sidefooted home a low shot from 10 meters in the 54th minute following a lay-off by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, ensuring City is now winless in six games under Guardiola -- the worst run of the Spaniards distinguished coaching career.Guardiola rested most of his key players -- starting 19-year-olds Aleix Garcia and Pablo Maffeo among his fringe players -- and City faded after a decent start, failing to have a shot on target in an error-strewn match.No regrets, Guardiola said, referring to his team lineup.It was Mourinhos fourth win in 18 meetings with Guardiola and an important victory psychologically for United, coming three days after a 4-0 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League -- Mourinhos heaviest loss in English soccer.It was a big defeat and numbers that the history of this club does not deserve, Mourinho said, adding: We had to give something back.Uniteds more physical and powerful players had more of an impact as the match wore on. Paul Pogba, who was relatively quiet again, had a left-foot shot tipped onto the post by City goalkeeper Willy Caballero five minutes before Mata made the breakthrough.The titleholders are out -- although Guardiola said the League Cup was the least of his priorities this season and that was reflected in his starting lineupp.dddddddddddd Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling were brought on as substitutes in the second half, but to little effect.Vincent Kompany, Citys injury-prone captain, started for the second straight game but was substituted at halftime.He told us he is tired and not ready to play the second half, Guardiola said.Heres a look at the other games Wednesday that completed the last 16:---WEST HAM 2, CHELSEA 1Objects were thrown and there were scuffles between both sets of fans behind one of the goals at London Stadium as West Ham advanced in this derby match.There has been crowd trouble at previous matches this season at the stadium, West Hams new home following its move from Upton Park. For this game, supporters faced enhanced security checks and a larger police presence than normal.West Ham is starting to look more at home on the field after this second win there in four days.Cheikhou Kouyate headed in Mark Nobles cross in the 11th minute and Edimilson Fernandes added a second in the 48th to see off a weakened Chelsea lineup.Gary Cahill scored a late consolation goal for the visitors.---SOUTHAMPTON 1, SUNDERLAND 0Sofiane Boufal scored the winner for Southampton in the 66th minute on his first start since his club-record move from Lille in August.The Morocco midfielder found the top corner from 25 meters (yards).Sunderland was looking for some respite from the Premier League, in which the team is bottom on just two points from nine games.---DRAW FOR QUARTERFINALSLiverpool vs. LeedsManchester United vs. West HamHull vs. NewcastleArsenal vs. Southampton ' ' '
