Stock Watch: FAST-GLANCE WEEK IN REVIEW

Oct. 25, 2004 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down ...

STOCK UP: Red Sox rally from 3-0 ALCS deficit
NCAA -- The NCAA did a good job in granting a waiver to make Syracuse's Billy Edelin eligible for the college basketball season.

Boston Red Sox -- The Red Sox rallied from 3-0 down to beat the Yankees to get to the World Series. Now Boston is up 2-0 over the Cardinals. Starter Curt Schilling showed great guts and determination in Game 6 of the ALCS and in Game 2 of the World Series despite a torn tendon in his ankle. Mark Bellhorn hit the game-winning home run on Saturday night.

Deion Sanders -- The Baltimore Ravens cornerback had a pair of interceptions Sunday, including one returned for a touchdown in a 20-6 victory over the Buffalo Bills and Drew Bledsoe.

Kansas City Chiefs-- The Chiefs set an NFL record with eight rushing touchdowns in a 56-10 blowout of the Atlanta Falcons.

QBs Andrew Walter and Brock Berlin -- A pair of college quarterbacks had big games: Arizona State's Andrew Walter threw six touchdowns against UCLA, while Miami's Brock Berlin threw five against NC State.

STOCK DOWN: Yankees stumble after 3-0 ALCS lead
New York Yankees -- The Yankees became the first team in Major League Baseball history to lose a series after leading 3-0, falling to the Red Sox. This was not your usual Yankee team, as there were too many stars and not enough role players, and the pitching failed in the clutch.

Florida -- Florida lost to a Mississippi State team that was last in the nation in scoring. Coach Ron Zook's team gave up 38 points, and the pressure is on the Gators with Georgia coming up this week.

Notre Dame -- The Irish blew a 20-7 halftime lead, losing to Boston College.

Penn State -- Nittany Lions lost to Iowa in a game that was more like a baseball score, 6-4. Two field goals to two safeties, baby!
