Geelongs defence will be tasked with an onerous job on Saturday, shutting down the AFLs most productive forward line.But the challenge of facing in-form Adelaide in a crunch clash at home is being savoured by Tom Ruggles.Ruggles is set to play his 13th game, having been upgraded off the rookie list earlier this year.Few of those starts have been as important as the upcoming round-17 match.Four premiership points and half a percentage point is all that separates seventh-placed Geelong and second-placed Adelaide on the ladder.Their forward line is probably the best forward line in the competition. We know weve got a big challenge, Ruggles told AAP.But in saying that, I feel weve probably got the best defensive group in the comp. Harry Taylor, Tom Lonergan, Corey Enright and Andrew Mackie have all played a lot of games and won some flags.Its going to be a great battle and one were definitely looking forward to.Cats coach Chris Scott has been forced to reshuffle his back line following Lachie Hendersons concussion.Andrew Mackie could find himself matching up on Tom Lynch, while small defender Jed Bews has been recalled in the absence of Henderson.Bews has played only three AFL games this year but did a serviceable job on Crows livewire Eddie Betts in round eight, when Geelong recorded a 26-point win at Adelaide Oval.Last time we faced them, Tom Lonergan was knocked out in the first few minutes and we were still able to play how we wanted to play, Ruggles said.Its no different this weekend (having to adapt without Henderson).Obviously our last month has been inconsistent and we havent played that sort of football but were confident we can turn it around pretty quickly.Ruggles, who earned a rookie contract after winning Geelongs VFL best and fairest award in 2015, suggested the calming influence of the clubs defensive generals helped him make the step up to AFL.Its made my life a lot easier, having those guys there with so much experience, the 24-year-old said.Theres been a few times in games when Harry has come up to me and helped me forget about a little mistake, focus on the next contest.Last week I had a good chat with Corey after an intense last quarter.He gave me some great advice about staying composed, not always trying to do the safe thing when the game is on the line.

CHICAGO -- Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said opposing programs are lying to recruits by telling them the Nittany Lions could be put on probation by the NCAA in the wake of recent allegations in the Jerry Sandusky scandal.Its not factual, she said Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days. Its one thing to take facts and skew them a little bit. Its another thing not to be factual.Barbour said the NCAA is very pleased with how Penn State handled the matter and that the governing body as well as the Big Ten considers the matter closed.Penn State is free of sanctions and back to the full 85 scholarships, but it cant escape a shadow cast by one of the biggest scandals to hit a college program.The Sandusky case has been in the headlines again lately because of recently disclosed allegations from men who have accused Sandusky of sexual abuse that raised new questions about what his fellow Penn State assistant coaches might have seen or known before his November 2011 arrest -- and why they have largely kept quiet. The allegations have also raised questions about just how far back late coach Joe Paterno knew of the situation.Negative recruiting is nothing new and its hardly a surprise that other schools in recent years might have used the Sandusky case against Penn State. But if what Barbour is saying is true, thats taking things to a different level. And coach James Franklin said there are issues that might need to be addressed at the conference level.Barbour would not reveal which schools -- or how many -- have been lying to recruits about potential sanctions in the wake of the recent Sandusky developments. But Michigan States Mark Dantonio said its not him or his staff.Its not our MO. And thats not how we do business, he said.---IN MEMORY: Dantonio delivered heartfelt and poignant comments about former Spartans punter Mike Sadler, who along with Nebraska punter Sam Foltz died in a car crash after attending a kicking camp in Wisconsin over the weekend.He was a giver, Dantonio said. He lived life. There was no take in Mike Sadler. He made everybodys life around him better. Well miss him terriblly.ddddddddddddadler was a four-year starter and four-time academic All-American at Michigan State. He finished his college career after the 2014 season.He was known for his sense of humor during his time in East Lansing, even launching his own mock Heisman Trophy campaign one season with the hashtag (hash)sadler4heisman. He also regularly exchanged lines on Twitter with the (at)FauxPelini account, a popular parody of former Nebraska and current Youngstown State coach Bo Pelini.To Dantonio, he was simply a joy to be around, the sort of player who forged relationships with every coach.Foltz, a senior was a three-year starter and the Big Tens punter of the year last season. He earned a degree in agronomy in May.Nebraska did not attend Big Ten Media Days, though Dantonio said he talked to coach Mike Riley.Sam seemed to be just the same type of person, Dantonio said. Well respected.---DUNN WITH BUCKEYES: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer slammed the door on running back Brionte Dunn returning after being kicked off the team for violating rules.Theres no chance that Brionte will come back, he said.Dunn was the Buckeyes most experienced running back and was expected to compete for a starting spot vacated by Ezekiel Elliott, who was taken as the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Dunn played in 21 games in three seasons, running for 196 yards and two touchdowns.Meyer said freshman Mike Weber figures to start at running back with Dunn gone.---FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt is making quite an impression on new coach Lovie Smith. The senior reminds him in some ways of former Bears quarterback Kyle Orton.Kyle made great decisions, threw the ball to the right person, good leader, Smith said. Teammates really liked him, believed in him. Our players feel the same way about Wes. Wes is a good athlete though.Lunt threw for 2,761 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions while leading the Big Ten in completions per game (22.5) as a junior. ' ' '
