EUGENE, Ore. LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey . -- Nebraska certainly took note when Oregons Royce Freeman got his season rolling last weekend with over 200 yards rushing.Just one missed assignment or one missed tackle and hes hitting his head on the goalpost, Huskers linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey said.The No. 22 Ducks (2-0) visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday to face the Huskers (2-0), the biggest nonconference game of the season for both teams.After 87 yards rushing with two touchdowns in Oregons opener, a 53-28 victory over lower-tier UC Davis, Freeman collected 207 yards on 21 carries and two scores against the Cavaliers last Saturday at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks won 44-26.The highlight was an 85-yard touchdown run, a career best.I dont feel I have to prove myself to anybody, Freeman said afterward. But against UC Davis last week I fell short of my standards.It was the second time that Freeman broke the 200-yard mark in his career. It was his 18th career game with 100-plus yards, and the 10th time hes gone over 100 in his last 11.The effort moved him into third on Oregons career rushing list with 3,495 yards, passing Derek Lovilles 3,296 set from 1986-89. He needs 129 more to move into second.Freeman epitomizes the speed in Oregons hyperdrive offense, which he says looks like its hitting a stride.Weve definitely found our rhythm. There were a lot of times out there where Virginia wasnt even set and we were snapping the ball, Freeman said. That always works to our benefit. If we can go faster from here on out, thatd be great.The 230-pound power back ran for 1,836 yards as a sophomore last season to break LaMichael James season record at Oregon. If he can duplicate the effort, he could break James career mark (5,082).Freeman, who hails from Imperial, California, burst on the scene as a true freshman, rushing for 1,365 yards -- a Pac-12 true freshman record -- and 18 touchdowns. He also caught a touchdown pass. As a result, he was named the leagues freshman of the year on offense.Now a junior, Freeman is getting some Heisman buzz along with plenty of speculation he may bolt early for the NFL.Its pretty amazing, Freeman said about making his way to the top of Oregons record lists. Its a good feeling knowing the previous backs that came before me and all the hard work they put in at this university,. Knowing of those guys and actually talking to some of them personally, to have the ability to pass them makes me feel good.Just as Nebraska will be Freemans biggest test, Freeman and the Ducks will be the Huskers biggest challenge of the season. The defense was sound in the first two games of the season against overmatched Fresno State and Wyoming. The Huskers rank in the top 25 nationally in scoring defense (13.5 points per game) and against the run (81 yards per game), and they are tied for the national lead with seven interceptions.Oregons offense is averaging 276 yards on the ground so far this season. And Freeman isnt the lone weapon for the Ducks: Olympian Devon Allen is starting at wide receiver, and new quarterback Dakota Prukop has thrown six touchdowns this season, while averaging 301 passing yards a game.Nebraska coach Mike Riley was coach at Oregon State Freemans freshman year when he gained 140 yards against the Beavers in a 47-19 Oregon victory in the states 2014 Civil War rivalry game.They want to give them the football, Riley said this week. And you have to stop him, otherwise thats what youre going to see all the time.---AP Sports Writer Eric Olson in Nebraska contributed to this report. Wholesale Chargers Jerseys .

OTTAWA, Ontario -- The Ottawa Senators could overlook their sloppy start thanks to a strong finish.Kyle Turris scored in overtime, lifting the Senators over the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 on Tuesday night.Dion Phaneuf also scored for the Senators, who were playing their first of ten home games this month. Craig Anderson made 32 saves.Jaccob Slavin scored the lone goal for the Hurricanes, and Cam Ward stopped 30 shots.Ottawa was coming off a nine-day, three-game trip that culminated with an emotional 2-0 win in Edmonton on Sunday night after learning Andersons wife, Nicholle, had been diagnosed with cancer.Its beyond words the way that hes playing right now with the circumstances and what hes going through with his wife, Phaneuf said. Its incredible. Hes an inspiration to all of us, I will tell you that. Hes just incredible to be doing what hes doing for our team right now with what hes going through.To no surprise, the Senators lacked energy and had a slow start but managed to regroup and -- thanks to Anderson -- hung in despite some sloppy stretches.Ottawa coach Guy Boucher expected a slow start after the lengthy road trip and the emotional time his team went through supporting the Andersons, but was pleased with how his team responded after the first period.I was so impressed with how the players battled to get that emotion back and they did it in every possible way, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. I thought we really played good in the second, third and the overtime and I believe we deserved it at that ppoint. Kellen Winslow Jersey. Tied 1-1 to start the third, both teams had a couple of good chances, but Ward and Anderson could see most of the shots and made the stops.I liked the effort, I liked the execution, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. I thought both teams made a push at certain times. Penalty kill was good, could have executed a little better at some offensive situations, but I liked the effort (Tuesday).The Senators struggled mightily in the first period, but thankfully Anderson was solid when the Hurricanes outshot Ottawa 16-5 and controlled much of the action.Carolina scored on its first shot after some poor defensive coverage from the Senators allowed Slavin easy entry from center ice.Ottawa tied it at the 13-minute mark of the first when Phaneufs shot from the point beat Ward low glove side.The Senators were without Mark Stone for the third period as the winger suffered an upper body injury.Carolinas Victor Rask ended his eight-game point streak (four goals, six assists), and Jeff Skinners five-game point streak (four goals, five assists) also ended.Game notes D Thomas Chabot and G Matt OConnor were a healthy scratch for the Senators. Carolinas Ryan Murphy played his first game after suffering a lower body injury in early October that kept him out of the lineup.UP NEXTHurricanes: Play at Nashville Predators on Saturday night.Senators: Host the Canucks on Thursday night.
