A major key to Drexel's success this season patrols the low post - senior forward Dartaye Ruffin.
Nick Foles doesn't irritate easily. He's a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of a guy, with a searing competitive streak lying just beneath his placid veneer. In other words, on game days, Foles wants to surgically rip your throat out with a smile.
Kyle Orton looks like he'll be making his first start at quarterback in his two seasons with the Cowboys on Sunday.
For all of his accomplishments, Nick Foles is constantly reminded about the first time the Eagles played the Cowboys.
The Philadelphia Eagles have come a long way since the previous time they played Dallas.
They said his offense wouldn't work in the NFL. They said the Eagles were destined for a last place finish in the NFC East. They said he would be just another college coach in over his head in the NFL, waiting to get back to coaching on Saturdays as soon as possible. They said Nick Foles couldn't be a good fit for his coaching style. Maybe everyone was wrong about Chip Kelly.

Think it, say it, do it. That might sound like the motto of a self-help guru, but it applies to Duke sophomore forward Amile Jefferson. For a stretch earlier this season, Jefferson was not playing up to his potential.
Monday Night on 94WIP's Player Lounge show, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy had a special Christmas message for Eagles fans.
It took nanoseconds for the Dallas talk to begin in the Eagles' locker room soon after their 54-11 thrashing of the Chicago Bears on Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
Forget everything about what happened in the earlier meeting between the Eagles and Cowboys. The Eagles were in the midst of a quarterback revolving door between Nick Foles and Mike Vick and had not quite found their offensive identity. That has changed now. The Eagles offense is firing on all cylinders and should be able to play well against this Dallas defense that really struggles to stop much of anything.
