SEATTLE -- When Budda Baker gets an opportunity to sit down and watch NFL games on Sundays, or when he takes the time to watch film of the pros he would like to emulate, it all looks very familiar.He sees the same techniques, the same coverages being played by the professionals that hes been taught since arriving at Washington.Exactly to a T. We run an NFL defense, Baker said. You see certain types of techniques that those guys are doing and you see techniques that we are doing.Of all the position groups for No. 4 Washington, possibly none possesses the depth and NFL potential of the Huskies secondary. Whether its Kevin King and Sidney Jones at cornerback, or any of the combination of Baker, Jojo McIntosh, Taylor Rapp or Ezekiel Turner at safety, Washingtons defensive backfield is filled with players with a possible NFL future.It helps that Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake spent five seasons coaching defensive backs in the NFL. Rather than teaching his players a style that works just in college, Lake has thrown NFL concepts at his players and made them learn.Its definitely been a process because you only get limited time with these guys, Lake said. But weve been here for three years now and so weve gotten to the point where these guys have played a lot of football, they hear the same thing over and over and weve been able to put more on their plate now in Year 3. First year obviously we had to do a good job of holding back all the information, but now these guys have come a long way.Before the season began and Washington was still being touted as a potential surprise in the Pac-12, the strength of its defensive backfield was a reason so many were high on the Huskies. There were questions elsewhere but the secondary was one area where there werent really any concerns considering the Huskies had the best scoring defense and fourth-best pass defense in the conference in 2015.Washingtons secondary has lived up to its billing for the most part this season. The Huskies go into Fridays Pac-12 championship game against No. 9 Colorado with the top scoring defense in the conference, the No. 2 total defense and the second-best pass defense, giving up just 201 yards per game through the air.Of course, its Colorado thats topping the Huskies in those other two categories.I think theyre similar (to Washingtons secondary). Across the board they have good safeties, long corners, they challenge you, pressure a lot. Its very similar, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. I think there are a lot of similarities there. Even in strategy and coverage and those types of things.Baker is the most recognizable of the group with his standing as one of the top safeties in the country and one of the most important recruits for Washington since Petersen arrived. But Jones and King may be the ones with the biggest NFL upside. King, a senior, is listed at 6-foot-3, while Jones, a junior, is listed at 6 feet. They both have shown the skills to play press man coverage and handle their responsibilities when the Huskies drop into a zone.The depth of Washingtons secondary was so impressive that Rapp -- a freshman who was a reserve early in the season before moving into a more prominent role -- was named Pac-12 defensive freshman of the year Tuesday as voted on by the coaches.I would define us as tough, very, very competitive. I dont think there is going to be too many easy throws out there, King said. (Were) just a team that is going to fight to the end. If you beat us one play youll have to beat us the next. Thats our mentality. I think (Colorado) has that same mentality, too, so Im pretty excited to see that matchup on both sides of the ball.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale NBA Jerseys Outlet .

Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. The UFC heavyweight title is on the line in the main event of the promotions first trip to Cleveland, with hometown champion Stipe Miocic defending it for the first time against former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem. Both fighters are coming off of impressive knockout victories, and the key statistical comparisons listed below could be the difference this Saturday.Each fighter has his strengths and weaknesses, but if the numbers are any indication, this could be a tight one to call.WrestlingBecause Miocic comes from a wrestling background, including collegiately at Cleveland State, many expect him to try to take the fight to the ground and dominate. While he did take down Mark Hunt six times and landed a record number of strikes in their match, he has not attempted a takedown in his past two fights. Miocic attempts 2.09 takedowns per 15 minutes, but he lands only 34 percent of these attempts. On the other hand, Overeem attempts a similar number of takedowns per 15 minutes (1.65) and lands at a much higher percentage (65 percent). Both fighters have respectable takedown defense: Miocic stops 72 percent, and Overeem stops 77 percent, so there is a very good chance that this fight will remain a standing affair.Striking AccuracyOvereem is the most accurate striker in UFC history. In the Octagon, he has landed 75 percent of his significant strikes, which is far and away the best. The second-most accurate fighter in UFC history, Trevor Smith, has landed 63 percent of his strikes. Miocic is an extremely accurate striker in his own right, landing 50 percent of his significant strikes, and he has been the more accurate fighter in nine of his 11 bouts uunder the UFC banner.dddddddddddd This will be a big test for Miocic, because well see how he deals with someone who is even more accurate than himself.Striking DifferentialBoth fighters land an impressive number of significant strikes per minute. Miocic has the advantage, landing 4.93 per minute compared with Overeems 3.81 per minute. In terms of striking differential, however, Overeem takes the edge; on a per-minute basis, The Reem lands 2.12 significant strikes more than his opponents,compared with a 1.62 differential for Miocic. Defensively, Miocic has allowed opponents to land 3.31 significant strikes per minute, which is fifth-worst among ranked heavyweights. Both fighters throw a lot of strikes, but Overeem has shown the better defense over the course of his career. If the bout turns into a firefight, Overeem could end up getting the better of these exchanges.Average Fight TimeAs a championship fight, this bout is scheduled for 25 minutes. A longer fight appears to favor Miocic, considering his average fight time of 10:26 is much longer than Overeems 6:24. The champion has fought into the championship rounds only twice, however, and he has experienced mixed results in those extra two rounds. He lost via decision against Junior dos Santos in 2014, but defeated Hunt in the fifth round in 2015. Overeem has never fought past Round 3 in his career. His longest fight came in 2005, when he dropped a 20-minute decision to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at Pride 29. Miocic is 3-1 in fights that go to decision, and Overeem is 4-3. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
