SpencerMarshfield Columbus at Marathon; Marshfield at THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chris Leak and the Florida Gators square off against Auburn on Saturday in a key SEC matchup. Wisconsin Rapids; Greenwood at Thorp; Bv.IoilN Zl AOR The Associated Press AUBURN, Ala. Stunning upsets. Thrilling comebacks. Heisman Trophy moments.

Even a 24-year jinx. The Florida-Auburn rivalry has had it all. There were famous kicks by Steve Spurrier yes, that Steve Spurrier and Damon Duval. There was the Gators stuffing Bo Jackson in 1985 and rising to No. 1 for the first time.

And what about the so-called Cliff Hare Stadium jinx, when Florida failed to win at Auburn's place from 1949-72? The entire time the stadium held that name, in fact. But you don't have to go back nearly that far to appreciate the rivalry that will be renewed Saturday night, when No. 2 Florida (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) and No. 11 Auburn (5-1, 3-1) meet in another high-stakes showdown. Just consider, for starters, the last two meetings: In 2001, an iinranked Auburn team knocked off Spurrier and No.

1 Florida 23-20 on Damon Duval's 44-yard field goal with 10 seconds left. The kick was set up by the passing of backup quarterback Daniel Cobb, who replaced a struggling Jason Campbell. The next season, Auburn scored two touchdowns and con-, veiled a pair of 2-point conversions in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Duval had another chance to win it, but Bobby McCray blocked at Edgar; Loyal at (oilman; Auburndale at Athens; Assumption at btrattord; Neillsville at Attoona. 7:30 p.m.

Dodge, DNS, Oakland at Detroit (FOX). 7 p.m. Playoffs, National League championship series, Game 2, St. Louis more often than the Gators, and the Tigers lead the series by a not-so-commanding 40-38-2. Florida has played only Georgia more often.

Florida and Auburn are the only Top 25 teams facing off this week, though several highly ranked teams face potentially tricky conference opponents No. 1 Ohio State is at Michigan State; No. 3 Southern California hosts Arizona State; No. 4 Michigan at Penn State; and No. 5 West Virginia plays Syracuse at home.

No. 6 Texas faces Baylor matchup of Bi 12 South co-leaders. No. 7 Louisville hosts Cmcinnati and Cardinals quarterback Brian Brohm, out since Sept. 16 with a hand injury, might play.

No. 10 California is at feature top Michigan at Penn State When: Saturday, 7 p.m. Where: Beaver Stadium, State College, Pa. Records: Michigan 3-0 Big Ten, 6-0 overall; Penn State 2-1, 4-2. TV: ABC we looked at and we probably blew that one," Nittany Lion coach Joe Paterno said.

"Everybody talks about their defense against the running game. Their ninning game is probably as good as anybody in the country right now and Hart is one of the reasons." No slouch himself, Hunt's forte is plowing over would-be tacklers. While he can make the open-field juke to gain extra yards, Hunt is more often spotted carrying several defenders with him before going down. WESTERN CONFERENCE his 23-yarder with 30 seconds left. Then Rex Grossman hit Taylor Jacobs on a 25-yard, third-down touchdown pass in overtime for a 30-23 victory.

Current Auburn defensive back Patrick Lee watched that one on television. "I was like, That's a big game and I'd love to be in Lee, a Miami native, said. "I can't wait for this one. It's going to be lovely out there." It sure could be, judging by history. The teams haven't played since that 2002 game.

The annual rivalry was a casualty of an SEC scheduling change that rotated non-divisional opponents, to the dismay of David Housel and Norm Carlson. They're the resident football historians at their respective schools. "To me that's kind of like Oklahoma and Nebraska not playing every year," said Housel, retired from posts as Auburn's athletic and sports information director. There are some rivalries that should just be played." "There have just been so many great games over the years," echoed Carlson, Florida's former SID. "I really miss it." Georgia and Georgia Tech are the only teams Auburn has faced Penn State The 5-foot-9 junior averages 132.3 yards a game, eighth-best in the country.

After an injury-plagued 2005 campaign, Hart is thriving behind Michigan's new zone-blocking scheme and a senior-laden offensive line that averages 6-foot-5. With receiver Mario Manningham (nine TDs) out this week after having knee surgery, Hart might have to shoulder more of the load against a Penn State run defense allowing 79.5 yards a game, 14th-toughest in the nation. While locating the smallish Hart behind his linemen might be diffi- cult, bringing him down might be a harder job, Nittany Lion defensive end Tim Shaw said. "He's tough to tackle because he's lower to the ground and thicker," said Shaw, who moved to the line after playing middle linebacker last season. "He always falls forward.

That's the challenge we have." And to think, Hart played high school ball not far from Happy Valley, about a five-hour drive north at a small high school in Syracuse, N.Y. "He is a kid from Syracuse who The Citadel at Furman. 1p.m. Arkansas St. at Memphis.

Quick and shifty Mike Hart can be hard to find before he emerges from behind No. 4 Michigan's massive offensive line, while Penn State's Tony Hunt likes to bowl over opponents in between the tackles.

But two of the nation's best running backs might face their toughest tests yet this season Saturday night, trying to gain yards on two of the country's top run defenses. That could set up a classic Big Ten matchup between the Wolverines (6-0, 3-0) and Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1) under the lights at Beaver Stadium. "If you can run the football, stop the run, and you are good in protecting the football and not turning it over, then you have a great chance to win," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. It's a formula that has worked to perfection so far for the Wolverines, angling for a BCS run behind Division I-A's stingiest run defense (40.3 yards) and the elusive Hart on offease.
