Dez returns
Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant is ex-
pected back after missing three games
with a hairline fracture of a bone in his
right knee. He said he was ready to play
against Green Bay before the bye, but
the medical staff opted to give him the
extra two weeks of recovery time. The

back injury in less than
four years.
So Prescott gets a
chance to extend alive-
game winning streak
that has the Cowboys
(5-1) tied with Minne-
sota for the best record
in the NFC.
“It’s going to be big because it’s the
next game,” Prescott said. “I’m not going
to really put much into it, the rival or the
division opponent It’s a game that I want
to win. Every game that I play, I’ll be the
same way and I’ll treat it that way.”
Things to consider as the Eagles

ARLINGTON — Trying to explain
the quick success for Philadelphia’s Car-
son Wentz and Cowboys counterpart
Dak Prescott often comes back to the
complementary parts behind both
rookies.
For Wentz, that means relying on a
persistent if not wildly successful run-
ning game, and one the NFL’s best de-
fenses. For Prescott, it means the
league’s top rushing attack fueled by fel-
low rookie Ezekiel Elliott, the NFL’s
rushing leader with 703 yards, and a
dominant offensive line.

manage the game.”
If you want to use the term “game
manager” for two quarterbacks who
protected the ball at the start of their ca-
reers better than any first-year players
before them, so be it. Their teams are
winning, which makes for quite a story
line in a key NFC East game tonight.
“I obviously don’t think it’s a nega-
tive way to describe any quarterback,”
said first-year Eagles coach Doug Pe-
derson, a former NFL QB. “If you’re ef-
ficient throwing the ball, you’re not
turning the ball over, and you’re con-
When Wentz and
Prescott were trading
the rookie record for
pass attempts without
an interception to start
a career, this Eagles-Cowboys meeting
was a potential target for the return of
Tony Romo, who broke abone in his back
in a preseason game. But the Cowboys’
10-year starter has been ruled out for the
game despite practicing on a limited ba-
sis and for the first time since his fourth

UTSA has won three of the four
meetings between the in-state rivals.
This is UTSAs sixth season and its fifth
at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
UNT is looking at a tough slate to
the end of the season that features
games against Louisiana Tech, West-
ern Kentucky and Southern Mississip-
pi the next three weeks. Tech and
WKU are already bowl-eligible with
six wins, while Southern Miss is on the
cusp with five wins.
“It’s one game and one week at a
time,” UNT coach Seth Iittrell said.
‘We still have a lot of games to play.”
UNT will need to get its offense
back on track if it plans to take advan-
tage of those opportunities after tough
night against UTSA.
Mason Fine threw for 257 yards
and a touchdown and rushed for 91

SAN ANTONIO - Texas-San An-
tonio is quickly developing a reputa-
tion as a thorn in North Texas’ side.
The upstart program knocked the
Mean Green out of the race for the
Conference USA title back in 2013,
UNT’s only winning season in the past
11 years.
The Roadrunners handed the

upset win at Army. That momentum
was gone in a flash after UNT (4-4,2-2

fense.
The Roadrunners (4-4,3-2) forced
four turnovers, shut UNT’s running
game down and made the Mean
Green’s path to a bowl game look a lot
more daunting.
“It was a big game for us,” UNT

WORLD
SERIES
Series 3-1
By Jay Cohen

CHICAGO — One more win and
baseball fans everywhere might finally
believe in these Cleveland Indians.
That’s all it will take for Corey Klub-
er & Co. to clinch this World Series.
Kluber pitched six sparkling innings
on short rest for another win, Jason
Kipnis hit a three-run homer in his
hometown and the Indians beat the
Chicago Cubs 7-2 Saturday night to take
a 3-1 lead.
Carlos Santana also connected for
the first of his three hits as Cleveland
moved closer to its first championship
since 1948. Trevor Bauer gets the ball
Sunday night at Wrigley Field in Game
5 when the Indians try for the franchis-
e’s third World Series title against Jon
Lester and the faltering Cubs.
“I think we like the position we’re in,
but the task isn’t done yet,” Kluber said.

We still have one more game to win,
and we’re going to show up tomorrow
and play with the same sense of urgency
we’ve played with until this point. We
don’t want to let them build up any mo-
mentum and let them get back in the

Still, not bad for a team that seemed
like an underdog all year long. Manager
Terry Francona’s club beat the defend-
ing champion Royals and star-studded
Tigers for the AL Central title, and then
eliminated David Ortiz and the Red Sox
and the heavy-hitting Blue Jays on their
way to the AL pennant.
Then much of the talk centered on
the major league-leading Cubs and
their 108-year championship drought.
But it’s been mostly Indians once more

as they moved to 10-2 in this postsea-
son. They did it with Francona pushing
all the right buttons while he improved
to 11-1 in the World Series.
The Indians now will try to bring an-
other crown to Cleveland, adding to the
one LeBron James and the Cavaliers
earned earlier this year.
