On Sunday, the Braves will play their last game at Turner Field and the stadium will move on to its next chapter, likely as a college football field. Since it opened for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, its been the site of many memorable moments:July 19, 1996 -- Muhammad Ali, stricken by Parkinsons disease and hands trembling, lights the cauldron to open the Summer Games at what was then known as Centennial Olympic Stadium.July 29, 1996 -- Carl Lewis wins the last of his nine gold medals with a dramatic victory in the long jump.

Atlanta squanders an early 5-0 lead, rallies from one-run deficits in the eighth and 10th innings, and finally prevails in the 11th on Andruw Jones bases-loaded walk off Kenny Rogers. The Braves are then swept by the New York Yankees in the only World Series played at Turner Field.July 10-11, 2000 -- The All-Star Game comes to Atlanta for the first time since 1972. Sammy Sosa wins the home-run derby with a dominating performance and hometown favorite Chipper Jones hits the games only home run.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Its rare these days for a team to beat Michigan State so soundly that the game is essentially over midway through the fourth quarter.Alabama did it in last years national semifinals, and now Wisconsin has a blowout win over the Spartans on its resume -- the latest sign that the Badgers should be treated as contenders in what could be a loaded Big Ten.Wisconsin forced four turnovers and held Michigan State to 75 yards rushing in Saturdays 30-6 win over the Spartans. The Badgers moved up three spots to No. 8 in the AP poll Sunday, and Michigan State fell nine spots to No. 17.Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0) has not allowed more than 17 points in a game this season, and the Badgers have allowed only three offensive touchdowns.Well, Ive been lucky. Ive been around some really good defenses, coach Paul Chryst said after Saturdays win. Today, it was big and I thought again it was a good plan by our defensive coaches because our kids understood it and they were able to execute it and they were opportunistic.If Michigan State sometimes seems overlooked in a league that includes Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh, one can only imagine how Wisconsin feels. The Badgers won three straight Big Ten titles from 2010-2012, but theyve made only one appearance in the conference title game since -- a 59-0 loss to eventual national champion Ohio State in 2014.With Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State in the East Division, its hard for teams on the other side of the league to earn too much of the spotlight, but Wisconsin has an opportunity to change that. The Badgers already have beaten LSU and Michigan State, and their next two games are at No. 4 Michigan and against No. 2 Ohio State.If they win either of those two, theyd have another significant victory that could serve them well with the playoff committee if they were to win the league championship.Every time I get on ESPN theres all this talk about this stretch of three games, defensive end Alec James said, after Wisconsin won the first one with ease.ddddddddddddMichigan State rushed for 260 yards the previous weekend at Notre Dame, but Wisconsins front contained running back LJ Scott and pressured quarterback Tyler OConnor. Michigan States low rushing total was partially because of sacks and a mishap on a punt, but the Spartans couldnt establish any consistency moving the ball.With Michigan State needing more from the passing game, OConnor was intercepted three times.When some things, you know, opportunities presented themselves, turnovers we were able to capitalize on, Chryst said. Obviously we think its a really good Michigan State team and a good offense, and we respect their running game, but guys were doing their assignments and they were finishing and that certainly gave us a chance.A season after leading the nation by allowing 13.7 points per game, the Badgers are allowing an average of 11.8. On Saturday, the Wisconsin defense gave up only two field goals and scored a touchdown itself on Leo Mussos 66-yard fumble return.The Badgers are now 12th in the nation in total defense and 10th against the run, and if anyone doubted the legitimacy of this teams impressive start, well, Michigan State can certainly vouch for it.Wisconsin played good, fundamental football. They come into the football game, we talked about that all week, how theyve got both hands on you up front, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. They know what theyre doing, and they do it very, very well. They have a system, and they do it very well.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister and the APs college football website at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
