Some of the sports stories The Associated Press is covering Sunday. Zach Randolph Jersey . A full Sports Digest will be sent by about 3 p.m. All times EDT:- CHICAGO -- Right after the Chicago Cubs reached the World Series for the first time since 1945, the focus shifted all the way across the country to Arizona, where Kyle Schwarber is making an impressive comeback from major left knee surgery. Can he get ready in time for Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night in Cleveland?- CLEVELAND -- In any other year, against any other team, the Indians would be the sentimental choice in the World Series. Not against the lovable Chicago Cubs. But the underdog role is fine with the Indians, who werent expected to beat Boston or Toronto and now have to take down the NL Champs to end a 68-year-old title drought.- CHICAGO -Grown men didnt weep. Maybe because anyone old enough to actually remember the last time the Chicago Cubs made it to the World Series would be at least 71 and know enough to stay home instead of parking himself in the middle of the pandemonium that engulfed Wrigley Field late Saturday. Not so 78-year-old Billy Williams, a Cubs Hall of Famer. An AP Sports Column.- PHILADELPHIA -- Sam Bradford returns to Philadelphia with the unbeaten Vikings (5-0) to face Carson Wentz and the Eagles (3-2). Game starts 1 p.m.- GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Seattle Seahawks look to solidify their hold on first place in the NFC West and the Arizona Cardinals try to climb within a half-game of first place in a matchup of teams that have dominated the division in recent years. Game starts 8:30 p.m.- The AP releases its weekly Top 25 college football poll at 2 p.m.- Folos to various Top 25 college football games.- TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Four drivers will be eliminated from NASCARs playoffs at Talladega Superspeedway. Its a must-win race for Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott. Race starts 2:20 p.m.- AUSTIN, Texas -- If Lewis Hamilton is going to make a charge for the Formula One championship, it has to start at the U.S. Grand Prix, where he starts from pole position. Mercedes teammate and championship points leader Nico Rosberg starts at No. 2. Race starts 3 p.m.- SOELDEN, Austria -- Alexis Pinturault carries his outstanding giant slalom form from last year into the new World Cup campaign, dominating the season opener to leave his rivals in awe. DeAaron Fox Kings Jersey . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. Cory Joseph Kings Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. https://www.kingslockerroom.com/Dewayne-Dedmon-City-Edition-Jersey/ . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Admittedly, Derrius Guice doesnt know all that much about the Golden Boot -- since LSU hasnt held the trophy after losses to Arkansas in each of the last two seasons.The Tigers sophomore did his part to make sure hed have a chance to get acquainted with the 200-pound hardware on Saturday night, rushing for a career-high 252 yards in No. 19 LSUs 38-10 win over the Razorbacks.A week after carrying the ball only two times for eight yards in a 10-0 loss to No. 1 Alabama, Guice overshadowed even star backfield teammate Leonard Fournette for the Tigers (6-3, 4-2 SEC, No. 24 CFP). The sophomore did so by finishing with 21 carries, including a game-sealing 96-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.It was the longest play from scrimmage in LSU history, one that helped the Tigers improve to 4-1 under interim coach Ed Orgeron -- and return the Golden Boot to Baton Rouge.Arkansas sees us as an easy victory every time we lose to Alabama because we always play them right after, Guice said. They felt like it was tradition to just beat us every time we play Alabama and lose, so Im just happy we got to bring the Boot back home.While Guice did much of the work in helping the Tigers outgain Arkansas (6-4, 2-4, No. 25 CFP) 547-291 in total yardage, he had plenty of help from Fournette -- who rushed for three touchdowns and 98 yards on 17 carries.For Arkansas, the loss marked a hard fall back to reality a week after a 31-10 win over Florida .Rawleigh Williams accounted for 103 total yards to lead the Razorbacks, but quarterback Austin Allen struggled for the second straight game -- finishing 15-of-31 passing for 210 yards and two interceptions.Offensively, it just seemed like whenever we did something good we shot ourselves in the foot or did something uncharacteristic, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. That obviously set us back.A week afterr allowing only 12 yards rushing to the Gators, Arkansas allowed LSU to rush for 390. Custom Sacramento Kings Jerseys. .Most of those came from Guice, whose previous career high was a 163-yard performance against Missouri on Oct. 1. The sophomore has now topped the 100-yard rushing mark in four games this season, and his career night comes a week after the disappointing effort against Alabama.We felt that Derrius deserved more touches, Orgeron said. Obviously, Derrius is a very good running back and we wanted to share the carries.All in all, it was the perfect bounce-back game for an LSU team intent on winning for Orgeron, who took over for the fired Les Miles in September. Afterward, Guice said all of it was for Orgeron.I really feel he can win the job, Guice said.THE TAKEAWAYSo much for the Alabama hangover for LSU , which had lost in two straight years to Arkansas. Both of those games came after physical matchups with the top-ranked Crimson Tide, but the Tigers were clearly the dominant team from their first possession -- when they went 75 yards on nine plays for an opening touchdown.POLL IMPLICATIONSDespite last weeks loss to Alabama, the Tigers remained in this weeks rankings and theyre likely to rise significantly after such a dominating win on Saturday. The Razorbacks, meanwhile, lost any good will they had with voters following last weeks 31-10 win over Florida and likely have to win out to return to the rankings this season.UP NEXTLSU returns home to host Florida in the makeup of the hurricane-postponed game from last month.The Razorbacks are on the road for their final two regular-season games, starting next week at Mississippi State.---More AP college football at http://www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
