Al Jazeera reporter: We didn’t allege Manning used HGH
It stings me whoever this guy is to insinuate that I cut corners, I broke National Football League rules in order to get healthy. Papa John’s said Tuesday that it is standing by Peyton Manning, its prime celebrity spokesman, amid doping allegations.

Since Grier’s suspension, the Gators are averaging just 17.8 points and 299.2 yards of total offense per game. But consider that before Friday, the Wolverines had reached that plateau only twice since 2003.
Clemson (14-0) dominated the second half and shut down Oklahoma’s high-scoring offense, which had averaged 52 points over its last seven contests. The number of viewers dropped 44.5 per cent from 28,164,000 for the Rose to just 15,640,000 for the Orange. It’s just it was somewhat evident that Michigan State may not have actually been one of the four best teams in the country. Total viewership crashed 34.4 per cent, going from 28,271,000 to 18,552,000.

This year, we wanted to take the game, and I really thought our guys had a vision of what they wanted, and everybody paid the price in what they had to do in preparation. It’s more of a front 11 or 12 with how many linemen the Tide are able to rotate in the game at any given time.

The Crimson Tide found success this season by taking away their opponent’s go-to players on offense, but Clemson isn’t as one dimensional as other Alabama foes such as Tennessee, Mississippi State and Michigan State.
The matchups of this year’s games weren’t as attractive and both turned out to be lopsided.
The Tigers romped in the second half for a 37-17 win over No. 4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, while the Crimson Tide rolled Michigan State 38-0 in the Cotton Bowl.
In a game billed as a battle of two of the top defenses in the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, the Wolverines’ offense shined bright in their first bowl victory since 2012.
Ford said those who picked Oklahoma to win, “didn’t know what they were talking about”.

The Spartans are expected to begin lifting again January 12.
Henry had 20 carries for 75 yards and two scores, and he now has 2,061 yards this season.
Those games have their own separate TV deals with ESPN and they were set before the playoff was finalized. Well, I’m not gonna say that, because obviously they beat us 38-zip. Not because I care about television ratings, or because it ruins my plans for New Year’s Eve.
