Grand jury finishes hearing testimony in Penn State QB case
A Hudson County grand jury reached a decision in the Rashard Casey and Desmond Miller case after hearing testimony on Oct 17 and again on Tuesday. Prosecutors could not disclose the ruling for one to two weeks due to court rules. Casey and Miller, both 22, had pleaded innocent to aggravated assault over the May 14 attack on Officer Patrick Fitzsimmons after he left a Hoboken bar with a black woman. Casey led Penn State to an Alamo Bowl win last year and remains on the team pending a Penn State judicial review.

Clemson unfazed by first BCS rankings
Clemson coach Tommy Bowden played down the initial Bowl Championship Series rankings as he slept through their release. The No. 5 Tigers, undefeated at 8-0, dismiss concerns about being behind multiple one loss teams and focus on the season's remaining tests, including Georgia Tech after a 38-24 win powered by Willie Simmons four TDs. Woody Dantzler, hampered by an injury, is expected to return.
