DAVIS HAS HIS EYE ON TCU, ALABAMA, WASHINGTON & BOISE STATE PLAYERS IN WEEK 1 – FOX Sports lead college football analyst Charles Davis previews the first week of the season with his three players to watch, plus a bonus, including players on both sides of the ball in Saturday’s game between Washington and No. 19 Boise State at 10:00 PM ET on FOX Sports 1.
“Last year was a down year for [Washington quarterback Keith Price]. A down year meant 19 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions. Most people would take that and run with it, but he set such a high standard as a sophomore with 32 touchdown passes, so Keith Price rebounds big time this year and looks more like his sophomore season rather than last year. He’s one of the better players that many people in the country don’t know about. Keith Price – keep an eye on him in Washington this year.
“For Boise State, the guy who will be chasing Price, the defensive end Demarcus Lawrence – he had 9 ½ sacks last year. He’s the preseason Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year. It’s going to be fun watching him try and chase down the Washington quarterback; Keith Price. Demarcus Lawrence is ready to play.”
For more from Davis, including his other two players to watch this week, TCU quarterback Casey Pachall and Alabama running back TJ Yeldon, click here: http://msn.foxsports.com/

UFC
PETTIS HAS HENDERSON’S NUMBER AT UFC 164, SAYS SONNEN — The UFC lightweight championship is on the line in Milwaukee on Saturday, Aug. 31, when “Smooth” Benson Henderson defends the belt for the fourth time in what promises to be an epic rematch against hometown hero Anthony Pettis at UFC 164. FOX Sports 1 opens the evening with the UFC FIGHT NIGHT PRELIMS: UFC 164: HENDERSON VS. PETTIS at 8:00 PM ET with fights taking place at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis. Preliminary bouts are called by Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan. UFC on FOX analyst Chael Sonnen believes that Pettis has Henderson’s number in this rematch.
“Benson Henderson is in the toughest weight class in the UFC and he’s one of the best overall in the UFC,” says Sonnen. “But sometimes fighters know who will win the fights. Pettis was the last guy to beat Henderson and he’s been asking for this rematch for a long time. He’s got a few things going for him. He took this fight on five weeks’ notice coming off an injury, it’s in his hometown, and he asked for it. I’m giving the edge to him. Henderson is as good as it gets, but Pettis has his number.”
On Friday, Aug. 30 (5:00 PM ET), FOX Sports 2 gets fans ready for UFC 164: HENDERSON VS. PETTIS with the UFC WEIGH-IN SHOW from BMO Harris Bradley Center. Host Karyn Bryant is joined by analysts Sonnen and Kenny Florian on-site in Milwaukee with Ariel Helwani reporting backstage.

BADER IS BIGGEST CHALLENGE YET FOR TEIXEIRA, SAYS SONNEN – The UFC returns to Brazil on Wednesday, Sept. 4 (7:00 PM ET) for UFC FIGHT NIGHT: TEIXEIRA VS. BADER on FOX Sports 1 with a stacked card featuring the country’s finest mixed martial artists in pivotal showdowns. In the main event, No. 3 ranked Glover Teixeira attempts to extend his 19-fight win streak against fellow light heavyweight contender Ryan Bader. Plus, No. 3 ranked middleweight Yushin Okami faces former Strikeforce middleweight champion and No. 5 ranked Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, and top flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez battles local hero and No. 5 ranked Jussier Formiga. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian call the fights from the Mineirinho Gymnasium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
UFC on FOX analyst Chael Sonnen doesn’t think Teixeira can overcome the challenge that Bader poses. “Glover is a great fighter and has a great win steak, but he’s never fought a top-10 fighter,” says Sonnen. “This is his first time. Bader has the skills to beat him. Both fighters are very good. The real challenge for Bader is he has to travel to Brazil, which can put him at a real disadvantage. He should win this, as he’s the biggest challenge yet for Glover.”
Coverage of UFC FIGHT NIGHT: TEIXEIRA VS. BADER begins on Tuesday, Sept. 3 (3:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 2 with the live UFC WEIGH-IN, hosted by Karyn Bryant, with Sonnen and heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier providing analysis. Heidi Androl interviews fighters on site in Brazil.
