A contingent of former FCS players are reveling in the New York Giants' 21-17 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI Sunday night.

The Giants' roster includes second-year wide receiver Victor Cruz out of Massachusetts, seventh-year running back Brandon Jacobs from Southern Illinois, sixth-year offensive lineman Kevin Boothe from Cornell, fifth-year special teams standout and linebacker Zak DeOssie from Brown and third-year wide receiver Ramses Barden from Cal Poly as well as defensive end Osi Umenyiora and kicker Lawrence Tynes, who played at Troy before the program moved from Division I-AA (now FCS) to Division I-A (now FBS).

Not active for the Super Bowl were Michael Coe, a fourth-year cornerback from Alabama State who is on injured reserve, and Adrian Tracy, a rookie linebacker from William & Mary who is a member of the practice squad.

In the Giants' fourth Super Bowl win, Cruz had four receptions for 25 yards, Jacobs carried the ball nine times for 37 yards, Umenyiora was in on one tackle and Tynes kicked two field goals in the third quarter and an extra point.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
