OTTAWA (CIS) – Western Ontario running back Tyler Varga, McMaster defensive back Joey Cupido and Laval kicker Boris Bede are the Canadian Interuniversity Sport football players of the week for the period ending Nov. Mike Wallace Jersey . 5, 2011. The selection was made by a committee comprised of members of Football Reporters of Canada (FRC). Varga, a first-year science student from Kitchener, Ont., was honoured on offence after he rushed for 209 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries to help the No. 3-ranked Mustangs (8-1) to a 33-27 OUA semifinal win over Windsor. The 5-foot-10, 218-pound freshman, who led the country during the regular season with 15 majors in only seven contests, scored from 10 yards out in the first quarter and on a six-yard run in the second frame en route to game-MVP honours. Two-time reigning conference champion Western hosts No. 4 McMaster (8-1) on Saturday in the 104th Yates Cup final. Saint Marys running back Devon Jones, Montreal running back Rotrand Sené and UBC quarterback Billy Greene were also up for the award. Cupido, a third-year kinesiology student from Hamilton, Ont., took home the weekly honour on defence thanks to his record-tying four interceptions in the Marauders 40-13 rout of Queens in the second OUA semi. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound junior, who also registered a pair of solo tackles in the lopsided affair, had two picks in each of the first two quarters to match the CIS record for most interceptions in a single game. McMaster will be looking for a first Yates Cup championship since 2003 on Saturday. Saint Marys lineman Rob Jubenville, Montreal linebacker Anthony Coady and Calgary linebacker Sam Hurl were also nominated. Bede, a first-year business administration student from Toulon, France, was the choice on special teams after he tied the single-game RSEQ playoff mark with five field goals in a 33-7 defeat of Concordia in the Quebec semis. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound rookie was good on all five of his attempts on Saturday as he split the uprights from 34, 39, 42, 44 and 41 yards out. The top-ranked Rouge et Or (8-1) hope to add to their CIS-record eight straight conference titles on Saturday when they host No. 7 Montreal (7-3) in the Dunsmore Cup final.

Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey . -- Baltimore Ravens second-round draft pick Terrence Cody failed his conditioning test Tuesday and was not permitted to participate in the teams first training camp practice. MINNEAPOLIS -- Maybe the Minnesota Twins should wait until the night before to tell Brian Duensing hes starting. This short-notice outing sure went well. Justin Morneau hit a two-run homer, Duensing threw six smooth innings as a late fill-in for Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins finished a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 5-1 victory on Sunday. Duensings Twitter followers started asking him if he was starting after the Liriano trade was finalized late Saturday night with the Chicago White Sox. Weird, he thought. Well, he went to the teams website and saw the news. Then he sent a text message to pitching coach Rick Anderson to confirm it. "He said, Yeah, and asked if I was OK with it," Duensing said. "Im not going to say no." Duensing (2-6) lost all four of his previous starts this year, but he needed only 70 pitches to finish six frames and yield to the bullpen after scattering five singles without a walk, giving up one run and striking out two. "I think he kind of likes that: not preparing and just going out there and throwing the ball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I think he enjoyed that part of it. He did a really nice job." Ubaldo Jimenez (8-10) worked into the seventh and struck out six, but the Indians lost for the eighth time in their last 11 games. They were a season-high 5 1/2 games out of first place in the AL Central when the game began, behind the Chicago White Sox. They havent been two games under .500 since mid-April. "We came in here with high hopes to keep it going, and it wasnt that way. We couldnt do anything," Jimenez said. Duensing has a 3.12 ERA in 33 relief appearances in 2012, but he had struggled in the starters role, allowing 15 runs, 23 hits and five homers over 13 1-3 innings in his prior turns. But the Twins have refused to give up on him, believing his array of pitches is deep enough to work through several innings rather than just facing a handful of batters. With Liriano gone and the starters a collective last in the league in ERA, the 29-year-old Duensing still has ample room to carve out a permanent place for him in Minneesotas starting five. Troy Polamalu Womens Jersey. . "Id like to be a starter, but I dont feel like Im in a spot to go in there and demand it or anything," Duensing said. This was a solid audition. Shelley Duncans bloop single that barely carried over shortstop Brian Doziers head to put the Indians in front in the fourth, but Morneaus soaring shot into the flower bed over the 23-foot wall in right-centre field came in the bottom of that inning. Ben Revere had two hits, two steals and two RBIs for the Twins. He doubled in the fifth, moved up on a balk and score on a wild pitch by Jimenez to stretch the lead to two in the fifth. "Everything that could go wrong went wrong," Indians manager Manny Acta said. Jimenez walked Denard Span, his last batter. After a double steal by Dozier and Span, Tony Sipp gave up a two-run, one-out single to Revere to make it 5-1. "The first two games were awful," Duncan said. "We needed to pull today out, and we just didnt get it done." This was the third series sweep this year by the Twins, who outscored the Indians 28-6 and are batting .325 with 18 homers in their last 13 home games. "Definitely a good feeling, coming out of Chicago where we just got swept," Span said, adding: "It starts with starting pitching. They give us an opportunity offensively to do some things. We can be aggressive on the base paths." NOTES: Dozier also had two of Minnesotas season-high-tying five steals. ... Morneau, who homered at Target Field for just the eighth time in 115 games over three seasons, moved within one RBI of matching Gary Gaetti for fifth place on the teams all-time list with 756. ... The Indians are off Monday and start a three-game series in Kansas City on Tuesday. RHP Derek Lowe (8-9, 5.09 ERA), who has won only two of his last 12 starts, takes the mound. Hell face RHP Luke Hochevar (6-9, 5.26 ERA) of the Royals. ... The Twins host Lirianos new team, the White Sox, for three games starting Monday. LHP Jose Quintana (4-1, 2.58 ERA) is scheduled to start for Chicago, and RHP Cole De Vries (2-2, 3.64 ERA) will pitch for the Twins. ' ' '
