n the quarterfinals Dec. 9 or 10.Prediction -- Jacksonville State dominates

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Santa Clara police chief has vowed to continue providing a safe environment at San Francisco home games after the union representing his officers threatened to boycott policing the stadium if the 49ers dont discipline Colin Kaepernick for criticizing police and refusing to stand during the national anthem.Chief Michael Sellers said in a statement Saturday that he will urge union leadership to put citizens safety first.Kaepernicks blanket statements disparaging the law enforcement profession are hurtful and do not help bring the country together, Sellers said. As distasteful as his actions are, these actions are protected by the Constitution. Police officers are here to protect the rights of every person, even if we disagree with their position.In a letter sent to the 49ers, the police union complained that Kaepernicks inappropriate behavior has threatened our harmonious working relationship.The board of directors of the Santa Clara Police Officers Association has a duty to protect its members and work to make all of their working environments free of harassing behavior, the letter reads.It was the latest in the flurry of heated responses -- both negative and positive -- that Kaepernick has gotten since his silent protest became the talk of the NFL and much of the nation last week.The quarterback wouldnt stand for the anthem at the teams preseason games, most recently kneeling alongside teammate Eric Reid in San Diego on Thursday night.He has cited racial injustice and police brutality among the many reasons for his protest and said he plans to continue into the regular season.Kaepernick is expected to discuss his actions on Sunday at a San Francisco church known for its activism on civil rights causes.We had a long conversation, the Rev. Amos Brown of Third Baptist Church told the San Francisco Chronicle. He stated his serious opposition to racial oppression and violence in this country, and hes willing to stay true to his conviction. Hes interested in taking this to the next level.The team reiterated Friday night that it stands behind Kaepernick and respects his right not to participate in celebrating the national anthem.About 70 officers from the Santa Clara Police Department patrol Levis Stadium when the 49ers play there.The 49ers will open their season at home against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 12.

FCS Playoffs Second RoundThe Matchup -- Youngstown State (9-3) at No. 3 seed Jacksonville State (10-1)Kickoff -- 2 p.m. ET at Burgess-Snow Field (24,000) in Jacksonville, AlabamaCoverage -- ESPN3Series -- First meetingPlayers to Watch -- Youngstown State: RB Martin Ruiz (191 carries, 1,086 yards, 11 TDs), RB Jody Webb (138 carries, 847 yards, 4 TDs), DE Derek Rivers (14.5 TFL, 11 sacks, 16 QB hurries); Jacksonville State: QB Eli Jenkins (149 of 285, 1,967 yards, 10 TDs, 6 INTs; 150 carries, 795 yards, 12 TDs); DE Darius Jackson (15 TFL, 10 sacks, 13 QB hurries); FS Marlon Bridges (79 TT, 4 INTs, 5 FF)The Skinny -- Both teams will try to control game clock with their rushing attacks, but both also are strong against the run. Youngstown State averages 262.9 rushing yards per game compared to Jacksonville States average of 244.5. Ruiz was an All-Missouri Valley Football Conference first-team selection, while Webb is coming off a career-high 174 yards and two touchdowns in the Penguins first-round playoff win over Samford -- a game they led 38-10 midway through the fourth quarter. It took until the seventh game of the season for the Penguins to surrender a rushing touchdown. Theyve allowed only four on the ground and just 101.2 rushing yards per game, and no FCS opponent has scored more than 24 points.dddddddddddd Rivers and fellow DE Avery Moss have keyed the Penguins to an FCS-high 43 sacks and will work to contain the elusive Jenkins. The JSU run game is balanced with Jenkins and RBs Roc Thomas (782 yards, 7 TDs) and Josh Clemons (731 yards, 9 TDs). Jenkins will play in his 53rd career game, tying the school record. An early season injury held back Gamecocks all-time leading receiver Josh Barge (39 receptions, 600 yards, 2 TDs), but hes a clutch veteran. The Gamecocks are plus-12 in turnover margin because their defense has 18 interceptions, led by CB Jaylen Hills six. They allow only 78.8 rushing yards per game -- third lowest in the FCS -- and are excellent at limiting big plays as 10 non-FBS opponents have only two carries of 20 or more yards.Up Next -- The winner will play either Wofford (9-3) or No. 6 seed The Citadel (10-1) in the quarterfinals Dec. 9 or 10.Prediction -- Jacksonville State dominates the Ohio Valley Conference, but its play outside the conference also has risen under third-year coach John Grass. Jacksonville State, 24-21.
