MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- TCU and West Virginia share somewhat of a kinship as the two youngest members of the Big 12. Their head-to-head series has been close, too.Three of their four meetings since joining the league in 2012 have been decided on the final snap. Two went to overtime.We really have a lot of respect for each other, said TCU defensive end Josh Carraway. Theyre going to battle their butts off, just like they know were going to go out there and battle our butts off.No. 12 West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) is off to a surprising start but still has to face the conferences traditional heavyweights, starting Saturday with the Horned Frogs (4-2, 2-1). There are showdowns later against No. 9 Baylor and No. 16 Oklahoma, which are tied for first place at 3-0.TCU edged the Mountaineers 31-30 in 2014 and 39-38 in double overtime in 2012 after making the 1,200-mile trip to Morgantown, so coach Gary Patterson has a formula for beating West Virginia on the road.Score one more point, he said.TCU is the underdog this time and will face a West Virginia team coming off its best game of the season, a 48-17 win last Saturday at Texas Tech .West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he told his team the next day that if you like the feeling that youre having right now, then youve got to prepare. If you dont prepare, then were not going to be in position to be able to win. Then everybodys going to tell you that you suck again. Then youre going to be in a bad mood. Its reality.TCU is 31-9 on the road since 2009. Lately, though, the Horned Frogs have struggled anywhere they play, losing to Arkansas and Oklahoma at home and barely winning at Kansas .On the road, its just about finding your comfort zone, bringing your own energy, said TCU wide receiver John Diarse. Thats tough, depending on the place. West Virginia does have a reputation of having a hostile crowd. Weve just got to go in and be confident in what we do, be comfortable in what we do and minimize the mistakes.---Other things to know about the sixth-ever meeting between TCU and West Virginia:CLOSE CALLS: Both teams have had to squeeze out some wins. TCU came from nine points down in the fourth quarter to beat Kansas on the road two weeks ago. West Virginia beat Kansas State by a point after the Wildcats missed a late field goal, and BYU nearly came from 16 points down in the fourth quarter but was intercepted on its final drive near West Virginias end zone.RB PASS CATCHER: One of the focuses for West Virginia will be stopping TCU leading rusher Kyle Hicks, who also has a team-best 27 receptions for 308 yards. Hes big. A thick kid, hard to bring down, but can still run a little bit, said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Hes busted a couple big runs and he catches the ball well, so they arent afraid to use him.FACING HOMETOWN TEAM: West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard is a native of Fort Worth, Texas. Howard has improved his passing accuracy significantly to 66 percent and is fourth in the Big 12 with 318 yards per game.SUSCEPTIBLE DEFENSE: TCU has allowed 40 or more points three times this season. Two years ago when they came here, they led pretty much every defensive category that existed, Holgorsen said. So just because theyre not, that doesnt mean that theyre not good. Theyre really good.COMEBACK FROGS: TCU overcame double-digit deficits against West Virginia in the second half in 2012, 2013 and 2014, losing only the 2013 game in overtime.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Fort Worth, Texas, contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgNike SB Schweiz Outlet .

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.Max Verstappen insists Nico Rosberg did not attempt to turn in properly during their controversial moment at the German Grand Prix, saying it was similar to the Mercedes collision in Austria.On lap 30 Rosberg made a late lunge down the inside of Verstappen, who had to bail out and drive across a run-off area. The stewards later handed Rosberg a five-second time penalty which dropped him behind both Red Bull drivers and out of podium contention.Speaking after the race Verstappen, who was sitting next to Lewis Hamilton in the post-race press conference, made a light reference to the Mercedes drivers controviersial collision in Austria. On that occasion, Rosberg had appeared to drive straight on at a corner when Hamilton attempted to pass around the outside, something which earned him a ten-second penalty after the race.?I think he was quite far so he braked really late and at one point I thought he was going to run into me, so I opened up and he didnt turn in and I had to go straighht and I had to go off track otherwise we would have crashed.dddddddddddd... Lewis knows! Verstappen said, smiling. It happened and he got a five-second penalty. So I was trying to stay within five seconds to get him back at the pitstop.Rosberg was unimpressed on the radio during the race, insisting Verstappen had moved under braking and that he had been at full steering lock at all times.When told what Rosberg had said later in the TV pen, Verstappen replied: Well I could still see his hands going straight so I dont know if thats full lock.He braked really late and as soon as he came next to me he just didnt turn in, a bit like in Austria so he just forced me to go off the track, when he easily would have made the corner.Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda agreed the penalty was understandable, saying Rosberg simply went too wide at the corner.
