STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- When Sean Spencer became Penn States defensive line coach in 2014, he nicknamed his group of tackles and ends the Wild Dogs and upped the ante last year by using a 3-foot rawhide bone as their encouragement.The Wild Dogs responded with the third most sacks in the nation before three left for the NFL, leaving a big void up front. Its been filled by players who are living up to the moniker perhaps more than any group Spencers coached. Theyre playing with a pack mentality.Theyve been playing crazy, cornerback John Reid said. A lot of people had their doubts about the D-line coming into this year. They fed off that. They worked each and every day. A lot of guys got stronger, bigger and faster and theyve been playing great.No. 8 Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) enters the Big Ten championship against No. 6 Wisconsin (10-2, 7-2, No. 6 CFP) with 37 sacks, nine away from last seasons total, and is getting contributions from nearly a dozen players Spencers comfortable rotating in and out. Ten different linemen have sacks with defensive ends Garrett Sickels and Evan Schwan leading the way with six apiece for a speedy unit thats been mostly unheralded all season.Not from Reids point of view, however.The sophomore cornerback has played more snaps than any Penn State player by far. Hes done so with magnified confidence as players up front have limited coverage time with straight rushes and twists and stunts that showcase their speed.The D-line definitely makes it easier for the guys on the backend, Reid said. We substitute in a whole other D-line and theyll come in just as fast as the starters.The constant rotation has helped keep Penn States defensive linemen fresh all season. Its the one position group thats avoided serious injury.Its definitely a good thing that were able to play so many guys, tackle Curtis Cothran said. Were ready to go in the fourth quarter.Thats evident as the Nittany Lions have generated pressure out of their base defense late in games. Theyve got 17 fourth-quarter sacks and opposing quarterbacks are completing 53 percent of their throws in the final quarter.Meanwhile, the Badgers stout offensive line has usually worn opposing defensive lines down by then.Wisconsin has allowed 20 sacks this season and four over the past three games, but has mostly neutralized opposing pass-rushers by committing to the run. On the other side of the ball, Wisconsins defensive front might be more underrated than Penn States.Utilizing a 3-4 alignment, Wisconsin primarily generates its pass rush with outside linebackers. They blend size and speed and key off a 3-man front led by 340-pound nose tackle Olive Sagapolu and ends Conor Sheehy and Chikwe Obasih. The Badgers have 31 sacks and outside linebacker T.J. Watts has 9 1/2.Theyre creating mayhem out there, linebacker Ryan Connelly said. A lot of what theyre asked to do is to take on doubles and to occupy guards or tackles, and to occupy those guys up front to free us up. So if were running untouched making plays, that means theyre doing a good job with what theyre doing.The fact Wisconsin leads the country with 21 interceptions isnt lost on Penn State coach James Franklin, either.I think they play complementary defense, Franklin said. They get interceptions because they have talent but they also get interceptions because theyre able to get pressure on the quarterback. The best friend of a defensive back is a defensive lineman that can rush the quarterback.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Mavericks Jerseys .

Roy Jones Jr., who once was the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world for about a decade, is long past his best days but will continue to fight on at age 47.His next fight, a cruiserweight bout announced by his promotional company, Square Ring Promotions, will come against journeyman Rockin Rodney Moore on Aug. 13 at the Pensacola Bay Center in Jones hometown of Pensacola, Florida. Jones turned pro in the city in 1989. The fight will headline the Island Fights 38 card, an ongoing series that combines boxing matches and MMA bouts on the same show.Im always excited to be fighting in front of my hometown fans who have shown me so much support during my career, and I am looking forward to giving them an action-packed fight, said Jones, who last fought in Pensacola in March 2015, when he knocked out Paul Vasquez in the first round.Jones (63-9, 46 KOs), who dominated boxing between 1993 and 2004, has fought three times since, including a crushing, fourth-round knockout loss to Enzo Maccarinelli in Moscow in December 2015. Jones is coming off a seccond-round knockout of former MMA fighter Vyron Phillips, who incredibly was allowed to make his professional boxing debut against Jones on March 20 in Phoenix.ddddddddddddJones, who won world titles in four weight classes -- middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight -- does not figure to face much of a test against Moore (17-11-2, 7 KOs). The 40-year-old from Houston, who did not fight between 2005 and 2012, has lost nine consecutive fights, although only one of them came by knockout. That was a second-round stoppage to top cruiserweight contender Murat Gassiev 13 months ago.Whether Jones plans to keep fighting beyond the fight with Moore is unclear, but McGee Wright, Jones manager, said Jones wanted to fight at home again before he retires.He wants to end his career in Pensacola at some point, Wright said. Im not saying this is his last fight, but he started here and he wants to end it here.
