STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford coach David Shaw said running back Christian McCaffrey is feeling better and is hopeful that the 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist will be back in the lineup against Colorado on Saturday.McCaffrey has been sidelined since suffering an undisclosed injury in the first half against Washington State on Oct. 8. He did not play in last weeks win against Notre Dame and the Cardinal (4-2, 2-2 Pac-12) are continuing to take a cautious approach with him.Shaw told reporters that McCaffrey was scheduled to do some on-field work Tuesday. He could be cleared to join practice on Wednesday.Well get him on the field to do some things today but probably wont get him a chance to practice, if he can practice, until maybe a little bit tomorrow if he feels good today, Shaw said. If not, then well do like last week and see if he can go on Friday.McCaffrey leads Stanford with 520 rushing yards and three touchdowns this year in a follow-up to his fantastic sophomore season when he set an FBS record with 3,496 all-purpose yards, including a school-record 2,019 yards on the ground.Sophomore Bryce Love filled in for McCaffrey against Notre Dame and ran well, finishing with a career-best 129 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries. Love, who missed Stanfords first game of the season with a foot injury, will get the nod again if McCaffrey is unable to play against Colorado (5-2, 3-1).Love was originally charged with fumbling near the goal line in the fourth quarter during the win over the Irish but was credited with a 7-yard touchdown following a scoring change. Love also scored on the ensuing two-point conversion in a game the Cardinal won 17-10.Fullback Chris Harrell said hes comfortable with whoever runs the ball for Stanford.Its different but I have total confidence in Bryce, Harrell said. I play with him every day and I see how hard he works, I see how hard he runs. For a guy his size hes one of the grittiest runners Ive seen in a long time. I like blocking for him just as much as I like blocking for Christian.In addition to McCaffrey being questionable, fullback Daniel Marx has been ruled out because of an injury. Right tackle David Bright is also questionable and Shaw said that Casey Tucker will start if Bright is unable to play.Stanford is trying to get its season back on track following a pair of lopsided losses to Washington and Washington State followed by the closer-than-expected win over Notre Dame.

Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Calgary Flames Store .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. A few years ago, Patrick Ferriday and Dave Wilson took it upon themselves to rank the 100 greatest Test hundreds. It was a meticulous and exhaustive exercise, one that provoked much debate. More importantly, whatever your view on matters ordinal, it was a collection of fine writing on some unarguably great batting. Now they have laboured lovingly over a follow-up, Supreme Bowling: 100 Great Test Performances, and the discussions can begin again.As with Masterly Batting, the original book, this is an immensely thorough and (as least as far as possible) scientific attempt to list crickets best Test-match bowling. Ferriday sets out the methodology in the opening section, taking into account seven key factors, such as wickets/runs (converted into relative value), opposition, conditions, and match and series impact. Of these, match impact is considered the most important - reflective of the adage that it is bowlers who win games - which is a notable tweak from the Masterly Batting formula, where the conditions and opposing attack took on greater significance.The cut-off point is a five-for, of which there had been almost 2800 in Tests up to the start of 2016 (the books other cut-off point, meaning Stuart Broads 6 for 17 in Johannesburg misses out). Quite a bit of sifting required, then. If magnitude is all you are after, that list already exists; in Supreme Bowling, Jim Laker is brought down to size - though the calm destroyer still takes his place in the pantheon.Once again, the Ferriday-Wilson ranking system is largely dispassionate. Lots of numbers are punched in - including, for instance, a precisely calibrated measure of each wickets worth using historical ICC batting ratings - and out burp the results. There is a category for intangibles, which takes into account first-hand reportage, but the attempt is to be as objective as possible. The authors, of course, know they wont be able to please everybody, noting in their introduction the reaction to Masterly Batting: almost every innings in the 100 was considered either too high, too low or a foolish inclusion and many outside the 100 were denounced as absurd omissions.From which quarters will the brickbats come this time? Shane Warnes boosters will doubtless contest the suggestion that only one of his 37 five-wicket hauls merits inclusion - especially when Phil Tufnell gets in twice. Malcolm Marshall, Wasim Akram, Abdul Qadir and Dennis Lillee, meanwhile, are among the illustrious names who fail to make the grade. (Akram and James Anderson are the only bowlers with 400-plus Test wwickets not to feature.dddddddddddd)However, its worth noting that the Wisden 100, which was compiled in 2001, came to similar conclusions: Marshall, Wasim and Lillee were again absent, while Warnes only entry was for his 8 for 71 against England in 1994-95 (in Supreme Bowling it is his 6 for 34 versus South Africa three years later). Perhaps sweeping up Poms by the bagful isnt necessarily the stuff of greatness.Both lists find agreement on the apex bowling performance in Tests too. Hugh Tayfield, the South Africa offspinner, is perhaps not as feted many of the names that come after him but he is one of only four players to have three or more entries in the Supreme 100 (Kapil Dev, Muttiah Muralitharan and Mitchell Johnson are the others). Of the big beasts, only Curtly Ambrose manages two appearances in the top ten. But all this is really parlour talk before sitting down to enjoy the banquet. The great strength of the book - as was the case with its predecessor - is the quality of the writing, in particular the Pinnacle section, which covers performances 25 to 1 and takes up two-thirds of the 300-odd pages. Ferriday and Wilson can call upon an all-star attack themselves: Rob Smyth channels Ezekiel 25:17 (and Pulp Fictions Jules Winnfield) to describe Ambrose as he struck down upon England with great vengeance and furious anger at Port-of-Spain in 1994; Dileep Premachandran relates Harbhajan Singhs turbanating of Australia in Chennai days after the Miracle of Eden - a far preferable destiny to driving long-haul trucks in Canada; and Russell Jackson summons some appropriately muscular prose for Johnson: The He-Man fitness freak with the Hells Angels moustache said bollocks to self-preservation and up yours to workload management.A particular favourite of mine was Rob Bagchis beautifully evocative piece on Sarfraz Nawaz - Pakistans swing-bowling dandy - which manages to reference Keyser Soze, Omar Sharif and Marlies Gohr while retelling the story of his match-stealing 9 for 86 at the MCG in 1979. Then there is Richard Hadlee and his talking ball at the Gabba, not to mention the Dylan-infused folk tribute to Bob Willis in 1981… I could go on.If the concept is a touch High Fidelity, the resulting collection is high quality. There should be no need for argument about that.Supreme Bowling Compiled and edited by Patrick Ferriday and Dave Wilson Von Krumm Publishing, 2016 321 pages, ￡15 (Kindle edition ￡4.91) ' ' '
