Daniel Ricciardo believes rain will provide Red Bulls best opportunity of challenging Mercedes for a win at this weekends Brazilian Grand Prix.Ricciardo recorded the fourth and fifth best times in FP1 and FP2 respectively during Friday practice at Interlagos and managed to get within four tenths of Lewis Hamiltons front running pace in the morning session. The Australian says he did not expect Red Bull to be so close to Mercedes but admits he is hoping for the forecasted wet weather to intervene on Sunday.We are a bit closer than we expected, Ricciardo said. They are half a second, and there is a bit more to improve with the car, but the rain will help us. If we really want a chance to win that will be the way to go.Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen, who split the Mercedes duo in the opening session and was just 0.096s off Hamiltons best time, also feels that rain will offer Red Bulls best chance of taking a third victory in 2016.FP1 was good, then we made some changes and that didnt really work out in the short run so we went back on them. In the long run it was OK. We are still not close enough to them but, as I think it will rain on Sunday and that should bring some excitement. Cheap Custom Yankees Jersey .

Things to watch in the ACC in Week 2.GAME OF THE WEEK: Penn State and Pittsburgh used to play every year when they were both Eastern independents, but the rivalry went dormant after the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten and Pitt went to the ACC. Their first meeting since 2000 -- the first of a four-game series that runs through 2019 -- matches teams coming off 20-point wins over inferior competition. In an attempt to keep the players focus, Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi has put the Panthers on lockdown because he says this week were going to stay locked in and have no distractions.BEST MATCHUP: North Carolina State defense vs. East Carolina pass offense. The Wolfpacks experienced defense -- every listed starter entered the season with starting experience -- allowed just 106 yards passing in an opening win against William & Mary. Theyre going on the road to face a test from former Minnesota QB Philip Nelson, who threw for 398 yards and five touchdowns in a rout of Western Carolina, in a venue thats always loudly hostile to instate ACC schools. They have a chip on their shoulder, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said.

The Cavaliers, who were beaten soundly by Richmond of the FCS in Mendenhalls debut, now face a cross-country trip to No. 24 Oregon. Beating the Ducks would be a huge upset but maybe the struggling Cavaliers can find a way to cover the nearly 25-point spread.IMPACT PLAYER: Maybe Virginia Tech QB Jerod Evans will put on a show before whats expected to be the largest crowd to ever attend a football game. Evans will lead the Hokies against Tennessee in the Battle at Bristol before an expected 150,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway. He threw four touchdown passes in his debut with Virginia Tech, a 36-13 win over Liberty.---Compiled by AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Raleigh, North Carolina. ' ' '
