PULLMAN, Wash. -- They build programs in their own unique and sometimes quirky ways. Thats what Chris Petersen and Mike Leach have proven through their history at respective stops.And in their latest construction projects, the pair has No. 6 Washington and No. 23 Washington State playing for a tangible reward on Friday beyond bragging rights and a trophy with an apple on top. The winner will claim the Pac-12 North title, a spot in the Pac-12 championship game and at the very least a shot at the Rose Bowl.For Washington (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12, No. 5 CFP), two more wins could mean a spot in the College Football Playoff. For Washington State (8-3, 7-1, No. 23 CFP), two more wins would lead to its third Rose Bowl appearance in the past 85 years.Just eight years ago, these schools met in a game that was mocked to the point of being affectionately called the Crapple Cup when winless Washington faced one-win Washington State. Thanks to Leach and Petersen, the 2016 version is being considered one of the most important in 109 all-time meetings.Its competitive. Its hard-nosed. Its fun, Washington defensive lineman Elijah Qualls said. Its intense.Petersen and Leach have developed a unique camaraderie away from the field. They are friends -- well, at least friendly -- each finding entertainment in the idiosyncrasies of the other.Leach refers to Petersen as The Bishop, a nickname that has spread among Pac-12 coaches. Petersen has his own nickname for Leach, but not one hes apt to share.I really like being around him because half the time I dont have a clue what hes talking about and the other half I think is really funny, Petersen said.They are the CEOs of their programs, but lead with a different tact. Petersen is meticulous and watches his words as carefully as he watches over his Huskies. Leach is brash and doesnt shy away from having an opinion.They are opposites in personality, each befitting the side of the state they represent. Leach, the unabashed Pirate of the Palouse, and Petersen, the carefully crafted, even-keeled leader on Montlake. Inside the same state, they are inverse counterparts that have attracted a mutual appreciation for what the other is accomplishing.You know when youre growing up Ive known a lot of guys like him. My parents would say, `Why cant you be more like the Petersen boy? Hes so nice and polite and well dressed, Leach said. Hes the kid that my parents wished theyd had. They wanted Chris, they ended up with me. Well, you dont always get what you want.Earlier this year at Pac-12 media day, Petersen said if he was on a driving road trip hed want Leach as one of his passengers. The pair has spent time together at Pac-12 events the past few years.Wed have a good time. Hes probably a good driver too. (Because) I hate to drive because I want to look out the window, I want to talk, I want to read a book and I dont get car sick, Leach said. I think hed be a great driver and then about the time I was thinking about doing something I probably shouldnt do hed be a good influence not to.All joking aside, whichever coach comes up with the best game plan on Friday likely heads to the Pac-12 title game. Heres what else to watch for in the Apple Cup:FALK MUSICIf Washington State QB Luke Falk is given time to throw, he should be able to find gaps against Washingtons stellar secondary. Falk has thrown for 3,935 yards and 36 touchdowns this season. The Cougars offensive line has also been excellent at limiting pressure allowing just four sacks in the past four games.Washingtons pass rush was quiet for weeks, but had six sacks last week against Arizona State.MYLES OF SPACEWashington RB Myles Gaskin has run for at least 100 yards in five of the past seven games. That number is an important benchmark when it comes to the Apple Cup in Pullman. Washington has won five of the past eight games on the Palouse and in four of those, the Huskies had a running back rush for at least 100 yards.ROSS AND MARKSBetween them, Washingtons John Ross and Washington States Gabe Marks have combined for 138 receptions and 27 touchdowns this season. Ross is coming off a 12-catch game against Arizona State, while Marks has eight career games of 10 or more catches. Whichever wide receiver can have more of an impact may decide the outcome.---AP College Football Writer Ralph D.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The NFC champion Panthers kept only three of their five draft picks this year, waiving cornerback Zack Sanchez and tight end Beau Sandland to trim their roster to 53 players on Saturday.Sanchez was a fifth-round selection and Sandland a seventh-rounder.Backup guard Chris Scott was placed on the reserve/suspended list after being suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the policy on performance enhancing substances.Also cut were running backs Brandon Wegher and Jalen Simmons, wide receiver Keyarris Garrett, tight ends Eric Wallace and Marcus Lucas, guard David Yankey, defensive ends Larry Webster and Arthur Miley, defensive tackles Kyle Love, Eric Crume and Robert Thomas, linebacker Brian Blechen, cornerback Lou Young and safeties Stevie Brown, Marcus Ball and Travell Dixon.Wide receiver Kevin Norwood, linebacker Ben Jacobs and offensive tackle Jordan Rigsbee were placed on injured reserve.Sanchez becomes the highest-drafted player by fourth-year general manager Dave Gettleman to not make the teams opening-day roster.Sanchez was one of three cornerbacks the Panthers drafted to help fill the void from the departure of All-Pro Josh Norman. But while second-round pick James Bradberry and third-round pick Daryl Worley quickly secured starting roles, Sanchez was relegated to nickel back duty and struggled during the preseason. Bene Benwikere, Robert McClain and Teddy Williams are the other cornerbacks who made the roster ahead of Sanchez, a candidate for the practice squad.The Panthers kept Scott Simonson as their third tight over Sandland, who didnt make many plays in the preseason, and Lucas, who caught two touchdown passes from Joe Webb in the teams third preseason game against the New England Patriots.The Panthers deecided to keep six wide receivers at their most talented position, with Brenton Bersin and Damiere Byrd both making the list of 53.ddddddddddddNorwood, acquired in a trade last year with Seattle, had been in the running to make the roster but injured his hip in the teams final preseason game.Wegher was a fan favorite at running back, but the Panthers went with Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne as the backups to Jonathan Stewart.Scotts suspension opened a roster spot for guard Tyler Larsen, who had stints with Miami and Washington last year but has never played in a regular season game.In cutting Love, the Panthers decided to keep five defensive ends and four defensive tackles as ends Ryan Delaire and Wes Horton claimed the last of the defensive line spots.Love played in 15 games last season for the Panthers with two starts and had 19 tackles and three sacks in helping the Panthers to a third-straight NFC South championship. However, the Panthers drafted Vernon Butler in the first round and signed free agent Paul Soliai, making Love expendable.Two undrafted rookie linebackers made the roster: Jeremy Cash from Duke and Jared Norris from Utah. Jacobs had been regular backup and special teams player for the Panthers, but injured his ankle in the preseason.Carolina had signed safety Stevie Smith just last week, but then cut him when it deemed backup Dean Marlowe was healthy enough to play. Marlowe has been plagued by a hamstring injury for much of the preseason.The Panthers open the season Thursday night at Denver in a rematch of last seasons Super Bowl.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
