EVIAN-LES-BAINS, Germany -- Jerome Boateng has been a central figure in Germanys advance to the quarterfinals of the European Championship without conceding a goal, so its a huge relief for his team that a calf injury wont keep him out of Saturdays quarterfinal against Italy.Boateng has helped set the tone for his side at Euro 2016 -- at both ends of the field.It all started with a spectacular goal-line clearance against Ukraine when Germany was only 1-0 up. Germany went on to win the match 2-0 but it could have all been so different had Ukraine got on level terms.Boateng then helped contain his Bayern Munich teammate Robert Lewandowski in the scoreless draw with Poland, and marshalled the backline in the 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland in the final group game.Boatengs defensive strengths are well-chronicled.Whats not is his scoring prowess.But against Slovakia in the round of 16, the 27-year-old central defender gave his sides misfiring attack a helping hand by opening the scoring with his first international goal in 63 appearances.Boateng has been spoken of as a potential player of the tournament. Hes not convinced.Sure, a defender can also score a goal or play a good game, but I think it will always stay like that that, the offensive players are more in focus, he said Thursday at the teams tournament base in Evian-les-Bains.There have been some concerns that a calf injury would mean he miss the encounter with Italy.The calf is very well and good for Saturday, he said.Boatengs participation in Euro 2016 had been in doubt earlier this year after he suffered a muscle injury to his left leg in January.The long layoff, though, has clearly not been a hindrance.Boateng insists that he wont change the way he plays even though another yellow card would see him suspended from any potential semifinal against either France or Iceland.Ill go in like I always go in, he said.Boatengs inspired performances at Euro 2016 have come just weeks after he found himself in the middle of a racism controversy off the field.A top member of a rising German nationalist party reportedly told a national newspaper that many people wouldnt want to live next to Boateng, who was born in Berlin to a father from Ghana.The remarks drew widespread protests and prompted fans to unfurl a banner reading Jerome be our neighbor! at Germanys friendly against Slovakia last month.

A week ago, Boise States hopes of a Mountain West Conference title got a significant and unlikely boost from UNLV.The Rebels reward for helping out the Broncos? Having to face No. 22 Boise State on Friday night knowing the Broncos have no room for error in their attempt to catch Wyoming in the conferences Mountain Division.So much for saying thanks to the Rebels.They know how to game plan. They seem to have a plan for each opponent, and their guys make plays, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. I think its a very tough football team. And offensively, they find ways to move the football. They do have some creative ways of doing it by using their quarterback.Boise State (9-1, 5-1 Mountain West, No. 20 CFP) still does not control its path to the Mountain West championship game even with UNLVs 69-66 triple overtime win over Wyoming last week. The Broncos must win their final two and have Wyoming lose at least once to claim a spot in the title game.Getting there gained more importance this week when the Broncos leaped Western Michigan in the College Football Playoff rankings, putting them in position to claim the Group of Five berth in one of the major New Years bowl games. But the Broncos must win the conference title to gain that berth.We never feel like we control anything until the end of the year. ... Weve got UNLV. Thats it, Harsin said. As simple as that. Weve learned our lesson. We have UNLV. Were going to focus on UNLV. Were trying to play our best game of the season. We feel like we have a little bit of momentum in some areas. A little bit of confidence. Were executing better in some areas.UNLV (4-6, 3-3) needs to win its final two games to become bowl eligible. The win over Wyoming was a huge moment for coach Tony Sanchezs program in overcoming mounting adversity. The Rebels are on their third quarterback of the season and lost all-conference wide receiver Devonte Boyd to a season-ending broken arm.Boyd was the fourth wide receiver to be lost to a season-ending injury.Its kind of a crazy deal. Our whole staff talked about it -- that weve neverr seen one entire group, Sanchez said.dddddddddddd Its one of those deals where you almost have to laugh about it.Other things to watch as the Broncos go for their fifth straight win over the Rebels:RYPIENS SURGE: Over the past two games, Boise State QB Brett Rypien has been nearly perfect. Thats not an exaggeration. Against San Jose State and Hawaii, Rypien was a combined 34 of 43 for 557 yards and seven touchdowns -- nearly as many touchdowns as incompletions.Its an impressive rebound for Rypien after struggling in the Broncos loss at Wyoming.Hes just getting better. Experience for him. He never had that redshirt year, there are things that he is learning as hes gone through this season, Harsin said.NEXT IN LINE: Kurt Palandech was third in line at quarterback for UNLV when the season started. He enters Fridays game as the Mountain West offensive player of the week after setting career highs in completions, yards passing, yards rushing and touchdowns in the upset of Wyoming. Palandech was 20 of 32 for 252 yards and three TDs, and added 157 yards on 16 carries.SPERBECKS FAREWELL: It could be the final game on the blue turf for record-setting Boise State wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck. Hes the school record-holder for yards receiving and one of five receivers in school history with more than 200 receptions.After a quiet game against San Jose State where he had just two catches, Sperbeck rebounded last week against Hawaii with five receptions for 114 yards and two touchdowns, pushing him over the 1,000-yard mark in receiving for the season. Sperbecks nine touchdown catches are tied with Cedrick Wilson for the team lead.RANKED WIN: UNLV is 4-34 all-time against teams ranked in the AP Top 25. The last such victory came eight years ago when the Rebels upset Arizona State. All four of UNLVs wins over AP ranked teams have come on the road.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
