MADISON, Wis. -- The running game is shifting into high gear at No. 6 Wisconsin.Coach Paul Chryst said the teams depth at running back, which helped net 363 yards rushing and four touchdowns in 64 attempts against Illinois last week, is the key to providing more consistency for the offense.I really mean it when I say were going to need everyone this season, Chryst said Monday. Weve been lucky around here and everyone whos followed (Wisconsin football) knows how important it is to have multiple backs.Corey Clement is the workhorse starter, while Dare Ogunbowale is a change-of-pace and third-down back. Freshman Bradrick Shaw could be the lead back of the future, and even sophomore Taiwan Deal, who figures to get more snaps next season, got a few carries last week against Illinois.Win their last two regular season games -- Saturday against Purdue and next week against Minnesota -- and the Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) will be heading to the league championship game. Chryst said the Badgers depth bodes well for the stretch run.I think they all bring a little something different which is good, he said. There arent many positions we have on this team where weve got depth so any time you have it youre very thankful for it.Wisconsin recorded another stellar defensive effort in its 48-3 victory over Illinois. The Badgers are tied for third in the FBS in scoring defense (12.7 points per game).Ogunbowale said working against the Badgers dominant defense in practice also has aided the improvement of their running game.Those guys have been making us better. We hope weve been making them better, also, he said.Game notes Starting NT Olive Sagapolu will miss his fifth straight game Saturday when the Badgers play at Purdue (3-7, 1-6). OL Jacob Maxwell and FB Austin Ramesh are both questionable with right shoulder injuries, while backup OLB Zack Baun is questionable with a left leg injury.---More AP college football at

Parramatta have been bolstered by the return of three experienced players for their do-or-die NRL clash with the Sydney Roosters on Friday.With still two months to go in the regular season, sudden-death football has come early for both clubs, who need to win all nine of their remaining games to hit the expected 28-point mark to make the finals.And while both are unlikely to achieve the feat, the return of Tim Mannah, Jeff Robson and Brad Takairangi give the Eels a strong boost.Robson, the Eels 2009 grand final halfback, returns almost five years after leaving the club.Hes an old head, both literally and age-wise, prop David Gower said on Tuesday.Its good to have another bloke with an older head than me, which is positive. Hes obviously a very experienced guy and hes going to bring that element of experience to us.Hes probably going to free Corey (Norman) up a little bit. Hes had to take complete control the last month since (Kieran Foran) got hurt. I think its going to allow Norman to play his natural game.Both Mannah (shoulder) and Takairangi (hamstring) slot straight into a starting side missing Michael Jennings to State of Origin duty.The Roosters have named youngsters, Chris Smith and Joseph Manu, to deputise for their two Origin players in Aidan Guerra and Blake Ferguson.ddddddddddddCanterbury have also been strengthened by the return of Greg Eastwood against a Wests Tigers side that now has three players with the NSW team.
