Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - South Dakota State University running back Zach Zenner believes playing against rival North Dakota State, the pre- eminent national power in the FCS, to be a privilege. You put yourself up against the best, you can see where you stack up, he said. Not every team gets to face the best team in the country and see where they are. We have that opportunity every year. The North Dakota State Bison, and many other teams, likely feel the same way about Zenner. Zenner concluded his senior season by surpassing 2,000 rushing yards for the third time, which had never occurred before in NCAA Division I history. Add in the three-time All-Americans 3.86 grade point average, and the numbers are especially mind-boggling for the inaugural recipient of the Mickey Charles Award, which honors academic achievement by an FCS student-athlete. Zenner will be honored Monday night at The Sports Network FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation along with the winners of the Walter Payton Award (FCS outstanding player), Buck Buchanan Award (FCS outstanding defensive player), Jerry Rice Award (FCS freshman of the Year) and Eddie Robinson Award (FCS coach of the year). The Mickey Charles Award is named for the CEO and President of The Sports Network. He recognized the need for national coverage of the FCS (formerly Division I-AA college football) before he created the FCS Awards in 1987. All Zenner has done in his glorious career is win awards, and lots of games for South Dakota State. The three-time Walter Payton Award finalist set Missouri Valley Football Conference career records for rushing yards (6,548), all-purpose yards (8,211), rushing touchdowns (61) and total touchdowns (69). He also set the conferences single-season records with 2,044 rushing yards in 2012 and 2,350 all-purpose yards this year. The biology/pre-medicine major from Eagan, Minnesota, was one of only four FCS players to be named to the 2014 National Football Foundation National Scholar- Athlete Class. He may go to medical school next year unless hes playing in the NFL, which is a distinct possibility. He is an inspiration to his teammates and all FCS student-athletes, MVFC commissioner Patty Viverito said, as he has clearly demonstrated throughout his collegiate career that, with passion and commitment, outstanding achievement in both athletics and academics is attainable. Zenner, a two-time team captain, is the president of SDSUs Student-Athlete Advisory Council which works as a liaison between the administration and its student-athletes; is a member of the universitys Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and went on a mission trip to Jamaica last spring break to build hurricane-proof homes and spread Christianity; and volunteers to be part of food and toy raising projects for the Brookings, South Dakota, community. Ive been blessed to be a part of a number of great teams and underneath a great coaching staff, Zenner said. What Ive tried to do during my time here is just take advantage of the opportunities that South Dakota State presented me with both athletically and academically. Andrea Bertolacci Jersey .

The Cardinals (11-3) now own the leagues best record and can secure a postseason berth this Sunday as long as the Dallas-Philadelphia game doesnt end in a tie. Arizona can also clinch with a Detroit loss against Minnesota and a Green Bay win or tie in Buffalo. Arizona, however, suffered another injury at quarterback at the hands of the St. Louis defense as Drew Stanton left the game with a right knee injury in the third quarter. He was carted off to the locker room and did not return. Stanton, who was 12-of-20 for 109 yards before exiting, started his fifth straight game after Carson Palmer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a 31-14 win over the Rams on Nov. 9. Ryan Lindley took over for Stanton and completed four of his 10 passes for 30 yards. Larry Fitzgerald (31 years, 102 days old) became the youngest player in NFL history to compile 900 career receptions after finishing with seven catches for 30 yards. Im glad we dont have to play the Rams anymore, Fitzgerald said. Both times we played them they banged our quarterbacks up. Arizonas 11 wins ties a franchise record which was also set in 1925 and 1948. Shaun Hill threw for 229 yards and an interception on 20-of-39 passing and Stedman Bailey caught five passes for 74 yards for the Rams (6-8). St. Louis, which was coming off back-to-back shutouts of Washington and Oakland, turned in another solid defensive performance, limiting the Cardinals to just 274 total yards and 13 first downs, but lacked a spark on offense. Its hard to win football games when you dont score touchdowns, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said. The difference in this game was our inability to get the ball in the end zone. The Rams finally converted a second-half first down as Bailey hauled in a 38- yard strike down to Arizonas 39 with 10:10 to play in the fourth quarter. St. Louis took the ball down to the 1-yard line, but Hill threw the ball away on third down and Greg Zuerlein was true from 19 yards out for a 12-6 game with 6:07 remainiing.dddddddddddd Kenny Britt caught a 22-yard dart between two defenders and Jared Cooks 10- yard catch moved the Rams to midfield. Hill hit Bailey for a 7-yard gain on second down, but his pass intended for Chris Givens on fourth down was knocked down by Jerraud Powers and the Cardinals took over on downs. After Arizona punted on its initial drive, Benjamin Cunninghams 19-yard catch moved the Rams into their opponents territory and Zuerlein kicked a 24-yard field goal for an early St. Louis lead. Frostee Rucker knocked the ball loose from Tre Mason and Larry Foote pounced on it to give Arizona the ball with 1:57 to play in the first quarter. Kerwynn Williams picked up a first down on an 11-yard run. The drive stalled at the Rams 5, but Catanzaro knotted the score with a 23-yarder. Michael Floyd outran Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins down the left sideline and made a 49-yard grab to set up an eventual 44-yard Catanzaro make for a 6-3 lead with 8:25 to play in the first half. The Rams punted the ball away on their first possession of the third quarter to Tedd Ginn Jr., who navigated his way down the field 42 yards to the St. Louis 42. Arizona, however, couldnt capitalize and gained just two yards before punting. On their next drive, the Cardinals benefited from a 36-yard pass interference penalty that moved them to their opponents 28. Two plays later, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald sacked Stanton for an 8-yard loss. The Cardinals signal-caller stayed on the ground before hobbling off the field. Lindley took over and delivered a 6-yard pass to Floyd, which helped set up Catanzaros 51-yard field goal midway through the third. Arizona went up 12-3 when Catanzaro nailed a 46-yarder with 10:48 to play. Game Notes It was Arizonas first win without a touchdown since a 12-7 triumph over Tampa Bay on Jan. 2, 2005 ... The Cardinals have won their last three games against the Rams ... Catanzaros first field goal in the second quarter was the first points the Rams allowed in 146:33, a span of 10 quarters ...
