Stanfords sputtering offense may be without top weapon Christian McCaffrey when it visits Notre Dame on Saturday.Coach David Shaw said the running back, who suffered an undisclosed injury during the second half of the Cardinals 42-16 loss to Washington State, has progressed in his recovery but that a decision on his status wont come until Friday or Saturday.Hes pretty beaten up, Shaw said. But well see where he is.McCaffrey jogged to the locker room alongside Stanfords team physician during the third quarter Saturday and returned to the sideline a few minutes later, when he did some agility drills with a helmet on but never returned to the game.McCaffrey did get banged up, Shaw said afterward. But there was no reason to put him in late in the game. We just left him out.Stanford (3-2) has scored only three offensive touchdowns in its past three games, and only one of those scores has come outside of garbage time. McCaffrey remains the Cardinals leader this season in all-purpose yardage.Shaw also said that starting cornerback Alijah Holder and fullback Daniel Marx likely will miss their third straight game. Cornerback Quenton Meeks, offensive lineman Casey Tucker, tight end Greg Taboada?and wide receiver Francis Owusu each could play at Notre Dame (2-4), but Stanford has not yet made any definitive rulings on them.?

MANCHESTER, England -- With one of the worlds best strikers bearing down on him, Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo had a quick decision to make as he received the ball five meters (yards) outside his penalty box.Smash it downfield and quickly retreat to his area? Or keep possession and instigate another attack for his team?Most goalkeepers in that situation would choose the safer first option, but not Bravo. Instead, he attempted a delicate lob-pass over Luis Suarez to teammate Fernandinho -- and completely fluffed it.The mis-hit pass went straight to Suarez, whose goal-bound return shot was blocked by the outstretched hands of Bravo outside the area. Immediate red card and, just like that, any realistic chance of City fighting back from 1-0 down vanished at Camp Nou.City lost 4-0 to Barcelona on Wednesday in a Champions League game that turned on this avoidable mistake by Chiles international goalkeeper in the 53rd minute.The author of the error was perhaps not Bravo, but his coach.One of Pep Guardiolas footballing philosophies is that the goalkeeper must play the ball out from the back at all costs. Thats why, months into his tenure at City, Guardiola made the big call to drop long-serving goalkeeper Joe Hart and sign Bravo from former club Barcelona.There will be no change. It stays the same, Guardiola said after the Barcelona match. Im sorry, until the last day of my career as a coach, I will try to play from our goalkeeper.Guardiola knows its a risky approach -- he says so openly and regularly -- but he believes the value of retaining possession outweighs the chances of making a mistake.Most of the time, when we play good, it starts from there, he said.However, having that rigid policy at his previous clubs, Barcelona aand Bayern Munich, is fine considering the quality and type of goalkeepers and defenders that Guardiola had at his disposal.dddddddddddd At City, the technique of some of his players isnt as good and he may be asking too much of defenders like Nicolas Otamendi, Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta to keep possession in often exacting situations.Bravo is one of the best ball-playing goalkeepers in the world -- he started out as a forward as teenager -- and center back John Stones was also bought by Guardiola this summer for the primary reason that he is good with the ball at his feet. The rest of the back line is not so comfortable, however.Very brave, but very stupid, was the verdict of former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane, analyzing on British television, when asked about the way Guardiola encourages Bravo to play the ball from the back.Bravo has had an up-and-down start to his City career.Handed his debut in the Manchester derby against United at Old Trafford, he dropped a high ball to allow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score a goal that reduced the deficit to 2-1.Later that game, Bravo might have been shown a red card and conceded a penalty when he dribbled away from Ibrahimovic in his area, only to take a heavy touch and then dive in studs-first at Wayne Rooney as the forward went for the ball. Bravo just about connected with the ball.Otherwise, he has looked composed and convincing with the ball at his feet -- until his high-profile Camp Nou mistake.It is a game of mistakes and correct decisions, Bravo said. Its just bad luck that I was the person that changed the course of the game, but its like that. ' ' '
