MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin defense wont let up against inferior opponents.While other ranked teams are showing flaws in September against non-conference foes, the ninth-ranked Badgers plan to take advantage of what amounts to a two-week breather in their otherwise brutal schedule .On third downs, the defense has been as sturdy as a red brick wall. Wisconsin (2-0) has held its first two opponents to a combined 3 of 20 on third-down conversions.Weve started the first two games the way youd like, Chryst said. If you want to form your identity, then you have to do it again and again.Wisconsin held LSU to 2 of 10 on third downs in the season opener. Akron managed just one conversion in 10 tries last week.Next up on Saturday is Georgia State (0-2), which has lost to Ball State and Air Force this season by a combined score of 79-35.Seems like another blowout is in order for Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium this weekend.But as the Oklahoma State Sooners know , there are few gimmes anymore in college football.In contrast, Chryst had his team focused and prepared last week in a 54-10 rout of Akron , yet left room for improvement. Inside linebacker T.J. Edwards pointed to a few communication mix-ups against the Zips spread offense that will need to be cleaned up.Some little things that will hurt against big-time opponents will hurt against this weeks opponent, Edwards said. If were not on point with communication, theyll take advantage.Developing depth will be important, too, after the Badgers lost another key player on defense. Third cornerback Natrell Jamerson could be out 4-6 weeks after needing help to get off the field in the fourth quarter of the Akron game with a left leg injury.Freshman Caesar Williams could get more playing time behind top two corners Sojourn Shelton and Derrick Tindal. A similar situation arose last week after starting inside linebacker Chris Orr was lost for the season after the first defensive play in the LSU game with a right knee injury.Edwards, who had a foot injury, returned last week to help fill that hole.You never want to see anyone go down, Edwards said . I know those guys that are willing step in for (Jamerson) for as long as needs to recover. So no, it will be the same effect, Im happy we can say that about our defense.Coming off a promising freshman season in which he had a team-high 84 tackles, Edwards is gradually getting back up to speed. Big Ten play starts on Sept. 24 at Michigan State.Fortunately for the Badgers, the rest of the defense has held up exceptionally well. Wisconsins front seven is dominating up front, and the secondary has reaped the rewards, having forced four of Wisconsins five turnovers.The Badgers are pretty good at stopping opponents the old fashioned way, too.It always comes down to when theres an opportunity, you have to make a play, a sack or a stop, Chryst said. I think a lot of it has been weve been pretty good on first and second downs.NOTE: Chryst said there were no lingering concerns with RB Corey Clement, who left the win over Akron late in the second quarter after rolling his left ankle. The Badgers were up by 20 points at halftime and didnt need Clement in the second half anyway. The senior is healthy enough that he has replaced Jamerson as the top option to return kicks on the depth chart. I anticipate him going to work, practicing, Chryst said. Clement needs 86 yards rushing to become the 16th player in school history to run for 2,000 in his career.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP Adidas Nmd Clearance Sale . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. GREEN BAY, Wis. --?Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy confirmed Thursday that the NFL will interview Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, who?were named in an Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance-enhancing drugs.It was the first acknowledgment by anyone from the Packers organization of the interviews, which are expected to take place in Green Bay when training camp opens next week.The league is pursuing that, Murphy said following the teams annual shareholders meeting. I know theres been some resistance from the NFLPA about the credibility of some of the sources there, but I dont think we know much more than that.When asked about the teams involvement in the process, Murphy said: Its very minimal. Its just setting up the interviews or working with the league office.Matthews and Peppers -- along with former Packers player Mike Neal -- have denied the assertions of the Al-Jazeera report.The initial report came out last December and linked several NFL players, including Peyton Manning and James Harrison, to HGH and other drugs.I think its bulls---, to be completely honest with you, Matthews said on Dec. 27. Its 100 percent falsified, fabricated information. I dont who this guy is. I couldnt tell you what he looks like.ddddddddddddIve never talked with him. Ive never communicated with him. So for him to bring my name up like that, which appears to be out of thin air, its bulls---, for a lack of a better term.I work hard on my reputation, and really thats all I have, Matthews added. For seven years, Ive worked my ass off. For this guy to say those type of things, its just not true, and especially for him to recant everything that he said, too, I think it really just goes to show the [type of] source he is, as well. The truth will come out, and Im not worried about it, because I carry myself a certain way, and that is the right way.Neither Matthews nor Peppers has been available for comment since the news broke that they would be interviewed by the league at the start of training camp.Charlie Sly -- the source for the Al-Jazeera report that implicated the NFL players -- has since recanted his remarks.?Harrison said earlier this month in an affidavit provided to the NFL that he has never violated the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs and has never met Sly.
