CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky is focusing more on playing Stanford in the Sun Bowl than the NFL decision that awaits.The junior is projected as a possible first-round draft pick if he skips his final season with the Tar Heels. Trubisky said hes reviewed some of the information coach Larry Fedora has gathered for him on his draft prospects, but is holding off on a decision until the season is complete.Im not letting it take up too much of my time and not letting it stress me out that much, Trubisky said. Im just trying to get as much information as possible and try to figure out whats best for me, but at the same time, staying focused for the bowl game that weve got ahead.The Mentor, Ohio native has had an amazingly fast climb for a player who had never started a college game as recently as August. After spending his first two years seeing only spot duty behind Marquise Williams, Trubisky ranks 10th nationally in passing yardage (3,468), 12th in touchdown passes (28), 11th in pass efficiency and fifth in completion percentage (68.9) for the Tar Heels (8-4).Trubisky said the feedback obtained by Fedora has put him as a possible first-rounder, but hes trying to find out as many details as possible.It may be leaving now, it may be coming back, he said. So those are some of the things Ive been thinking about: Whats going to put me in the best position to have a long-term sustainable career and be the best possible quarterback I could possibly be?Fedora said he has been getting draft information for Trubisky and three other juniors: tailback Elijah Hood, safety Donnie Miles and defensive back M.J. Stewart. Defensive tackle Naz Jones has already stated he will enter the NFL draft after the Sun Bowl.Players have until Jan. 18 to declare for the draft. Trubisky said hed like to make a decision by roughly a week before that deadline.Im not going to tell them what I think is best, Fedora said. Im just going to give them the information and then Im going to expect them to make a good, educated decision.Still, Trubisky is getting used to seeing his name out among draft prospects already.Last week, he graced the back cover of the New York Daily News as a possible draft target for the New York Jets -- Its Tru Love! the headline screamed -- even though Trubisky has yet to say hes leaving Chapel Hill.Trubisky said several teammates texted him pictures of it, though he shrugged it off by saying: Im not like the tabloids-type of guy.I thought it was funny, Trubisky added. What was it, the front of a magazine cover? Like, what am I doing there?Bo Jackson Youth Jersey .

Howie Long Womens Jersey .com) - The Calgary Flames aim to bounce back from their first regulation home loss of the campaign on Friday night when they host a Detroit Red Wings club that they swept in three meetings a season ago. http://www.shoptheraidersonline.com/Elite-Derek-Carr-Raiders-Jersey/ . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week.

Maxx Crosby Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action.It might not have the national cachet of Duke-North Carolina or Kentucky-Louisville.But the yearly meeting of No. 25 Iowa State and Iowa, which occurs Thursday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, has a special meaning all its own, according to Iowa coach Fran McCaffery.This is a rivalry that means a lot to a lot of people, he said. It means a lot to both teams for RPI, national rankings and NCAA Tournament potential. It has a lot of importance.Even this season, with the Hawkeyes stumbling out of the gate to a 4-5 start that includes a four-game losing streak, including a bad home loss to an Omaha team that the Cyclones (6-2) routed 91-47 on Monday night, this game is one thats circled on everyones calendar in Iowa.How meaningful is this game? When a ranked Iowa State rallied from a 20-point deficit last season to topple the unranked Hawkeyes 83-82 in Ames on Monte Morris floater with nine seconds left, Cyclones students stormed the floor and actually broke the leg of a Des Moines columnist on press row.During a Tuesday press conference, second-year Iowa State coach Steve Prohm was still marveling at how his crowd reacted to the opening stages of the teams rally.This crowd was going crazy when we cut the lead from 20 to 18, he said. A lot of places, the crowd would be quiet or booing. Iowa just came out and hit us in the mouth, but that was as good a rivalry performance as Ive seen.Morris led the charge last season with 20 points, nine assists and just one turnover, and Matt Thomas fired in six 3-pointers and 19 points.dddddddddddd. It was the third straight Cyclones win in the series, matching the programs all-time high against its rival.If its going to make it four straight, Iowa State will probably need to score a lot of points. Although the Hawkeyes are nowhere close to the ability of last years team that was ranked in the top five at one point in February, they are still averaging 86.7 points per game.Senior guard Peter Jok is the name of the game for Iowa. The lone returning starter from last seasons team, Jok is firing in 23.9 ppg, hitting nearly 40 percent of his 3-pointers and going 47 of 51 at the foul line.He can get his shot any time he wants, whether they run good offense or bad offense, Prohm said of Jok. We have to do a good job denying him the catch. Our defense will have to travel over there.Cordell Pemsl (10.6) is also averaging in double figures for the Hawkeyes, which are still in the process of figuring out a playing rotation. Nine players have started games and only Jok has started all nine games.Morris (14.2 ppg, 6.3 assists) leads four Cyclones in extra digits. Deonte Burton (14.1 ppg, 7.6 rebounds), Nazareth Mitrou-Long (12.8 ppg, 6.0 rebounds) and Thomas (11.3 ppg, 5.0 rebounds) can also score 25 on any night. ' ' '
