Bill Cosby arrives in court to face sexual assault charges
Bill Cosby is thanking his supporters following his formal arraignment on one charge of aggravated indecent assault on Wednesday. Cosby had acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual.

He also had lots of support on the ground from tailback De’Veon Smith, who finished with 109 yards rushing and two scores. MI scored on a 4-yard run by Drake Johnson and 31-yard pass from Rudock to Jehu Chesson. This is a game that features two great defenses, and two offenses that have had their struggles in 2015.


Obama may be set to issue executive order on guns
Thousands of guns are sold yearly by dealers who fall between licensed dealers and occasional sellers who do not need a licence. The majority of Americans support the idea of background checks for gun shows and private sales.

And our defense was magnificent”.

The statements could be important for prosecutors as they try to tease out potential inconsistencies in Cosby’s version of events. He did not enter a plea and spoke only to confirm he understood the terms of his bail, which was set at $ 1 million .

Special Teams: A-. This unit was solid in Michigan’s commanding win over Florida.

After getting pounded by Ohio State in the regular-season finale, MI ridded itself of that bad taste by delivering its own pounding on New Year’s Day. MI is also seeking its first bowl victory since 2011’s Sugar Bowl, when it took down Virginia Tech in overtime. Now, one year later and after a 41-7 trouncing of SEC East champion Florida, Harbaugh and the Wolverines are 10-3 and ready to take the next step.

Rudock credited the coaching staff’s game plan and scouting efforts with putting him and his teammates in optimum situations. “So, I’m really happy they got that opportunity”, said McElwain. The 6-2, 216-pound senior has went over 60 receiving yards in five games this year, including his last three.

“We just started”, Harbaugh said. MI scored on its first possession and Florida could have matched it. The Wolverines rolled up 233 yards total offense in the first half against the sixth-ranked defense in FBS and the Gators totaled 245 yards against the No. 4-rated defense in the country. The Gators (10-4) were in field goal position, but went for a fake and it did not play off as the holder tossed the ball into the hands of Stribling.

Despite some down moments during their first seasons, Jim Harbaugh and Jim McElwain have their programs in a good place after a couple of lean years. New quarterback Treon Harris hasn’t been as effective and has been prone to being sacked.

It was a decent showing by the Gators in the first half. That pretty much put the Gators in Michigan’s rearview mirror.

The Gators’ once-fantastic season ended in frustration.

After their rout of Florida – a team that played in the SEC Championship game, by the way – Harbaugh and his team have shown they can play with the big boys again.

With his 26-yard reception in the first quarter, wide receiver Antonio Callaway broke the school record for reception yards for a true freshman.

Callaway then found Harris all alone in the end zone for a score. At The Power Rank, I take yards per attempt and adjust for schedule with a proprietary algorithm to rank pass offense.

The Wolverines drove down on the next series and added a field goal to extend their lead to 10. “There’s some guys on this team that carry a great affect with me for the rest of my life and that’s something that’s real”, said Coach McElwain. In the second half, Peppers exchanged words with three players from Florida, and gestured to them by mimicking Florida’s “Gator Chomp”.
