MADISON, Wis. -- Corey Clement is practicing patience as the clock winds down on his college football career.There are just four games left in his final regular season at Wisconsin, starting with a trip Saturday to face Northwestern.The senior came up big in the eighth-ranked Badgers biggest game of the season, but his 164 yards on 25 carries on Oct. 15 came in an overtime loss to then-No. 2 Ohio State. Clement has shown flashes of big-play ability and has been a rock-solid contributor to the Badgers ground game.What Clement hasnt had is that breakout performance that propels Wisconsin (6-2, 3-2, No. 8 CFP) to victory, a game that makes national pundits notice.As far as statistic-wise, its going to come, and understand were getting stronger as the season is going on, Clement said.He focused on the team first. With such a rigorous schedule, Clement would rather be 6-2 against tough completion than 2-6 but with better personal stats.Not that Clement hasnt been producing, either. He has run for 699 yards and six touchdowns on 161 carries.His 4.3 yards per carry average is lower than his career average (5.7 yards). But keep in mind that Wisconsin remains a work in progress on an offensive line that doesnt start a senior.When you look at it, I cant really be too negative about the season, what happened, Clement said when asked about his stats. I dont want to be selfish, Ive just got to really put it on the team, and really focus on the real object at end at the end of the season.Expectations are high when a top recruit goes to Wisconsin, a running back factory that has produced college greats like Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball and Ron Dayne.Team-wise, the Badgers have exceeded outside expectations with three wins over top 10 programs, a school first. Their two losses, to the Buckeyes and No. 2 Michigan, were by a combined 14 points.The schedule also includes a host of top defenses, an added degree of difficulty for Clement.I think our guys are really stepping up to the challenge, he said.Ryan Ramczyk, a junior college transfer, has been a rock at left tackle. Michael Deiter has played well alternating between center and left guard.But the Badgers have mixed and matched elsewhere at times as they look to build depth and find effective combinations. Deiter said he doesnt think the different pairings disrupts chemistry, since the Badgers also use different combinations in practice.Chemistry is something that as an O-line kind of happens instantly. Some people say youve got to get a bunch of reps together to find it, Deiter said. But I dont think so. Really no matter whos in there, youre going to find that groove right away. And if not, they probably wont be in there.Chryst has also been using freshman Bradrick Shaw more of late. Shaw, who had a 21-yard touchdown run last weeks win over Nebraska , could be the starting tailback next year. Senior Dare Ogunbowale had 11 carries for 120 yards, including the 11-yard scoring run in overtime against the Cornhuskers.As many guys as we can get into the rotation (that) is going to keep us all fresh, Clement said.Game notesStarting OLB T.J. Watt (shoulder) has been cleared to play on Saturday against Northwestern. ...

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.NEW YORK -- Some familiar faces are rejoining the New York Mets this weekend as they fight for a berth in the NL playoffsRight-hander Jacob deGrom is scheduled to start Sundays series finale against the Minnesota Twins in his first appearance since Sept. 1. First baseman Lucas Duda, who last played on May 20, is to be activated disabled list Saturday after recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back.DeGrom, who had been bothered by right forearm soreness, will be limited to about 75 pitches. He threw a bullpen session Friday,We know how good he can be in the daytime, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Were hoping that we can get him back up to where if we get into the postseason hes a viable option for us. We think hes going to be fine, but we dont have a crystal ball to know whats going to happen here after he throws Sunday.Right-hander Noah Syndergaard will start Mondays series opener against Atlanta on five days rest. Left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug. 14 because of shoulder tightness, is to throw a bullpen session Saturday.New York leads St. Louis by two games for the NLs second wild card, and Collins said it is too early to make rotation decisions. Matt Harvey had season-ending surgery in July to address Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and rookies Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman have joined Syndergaard and Bartolo Colon in the rootation.ddddddddddddMets general manager Sandy Alderson said in early August that he did not expect Duda to return this season. Duda has been taking batting practice and will be integrated slowly.Well try to get him in there in the right circumstances, and, you know what, if we feel that he can help us in the lineup some time, well get him in there, Collins said.In addition, outfielder Juan Lagares was activated from the disabled list ahead of Fridays series opener against the Twins. Lagares hasnt played since July 28 because of a torn ligament in his left thumb that required surgery. He plans to start swinging a bat next week and will be limited to a defensive replacement role, and Collins said having him bat during the regular season was a longshot.He gives us that option of a Gold Glover to come in late in the game and go play center field, Collins said. If we get him in the game for defense, we got to hit for him, we got to hit for him.Infielder Wimer Flores, out since a home-plate collision with Atlanta catcher A.J. Pierzynski Sept. 10, said he had an injection of painkiller in his right wrist Thursday and could return soon.It doesnt feel very good right now but hopefully the next couple days it will feel better, he said.
