COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer seemed to be feeling pretty good about his team in the week leading up to Ohio States game against Nebraska. Ryan Miller Jersey .Despite three previous weeks of tight games -- including a stinging loss -- spotty offense and a general lack of explosiveness, the Buckeyes coach exuded confidence.No, Ive been going to acting school, Meyer said. I was a mess.The Buckeyes expected another tight tussle with the ninth-ranked Huskers. Instead, they scored one of the most dominant victories in the storied history of the program.Curtis Samuel had 178 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, including a 75-yard touchdown reception on Ohio States first play of the second half, and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes pounded Nebraska 62-3 on Saturday night.There was a sense of urgency about everything we did, defensive end Sam Hubbard said. If somebody made a mistake in practice we did that rep. It was just intense focus all week long.The Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 6) scored more points than Ohio State ever has against a top-10 team and handed the Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten, CFP No. 10) their most lopsided loss since 2004.I didnt see this one coming, Meyer said. It is a little relief to know that right now I saw some explosiveness that we kind of have been lacking in some positions.Damon Webb got it started with a 36-yard interception return for a touchdown on Nebraskas first drive of the game. J.T. Barrett led three long touchdown drives, including a 15-play, 85-yarder that ended with 1-yard jump TD pass to Samuel with 3 seconds left in the half.Everything was clicking. The run game. The pass game, Samuel said. Everything was going great tonight.The Cornhuskers were playing as a top-10 team in November for the first time since 2010, but proved to still be a long way from the elites in the Big Ten. Nebraska is still in the Big Ten West race, but a loss to Wisconsin last week means the Huskers will need help.That was real bad, and were all responsible for it, and Ohio State played really well, Nebraska coach Mike Riley said.Nebraska lost quarterback Tommy Armstrong to a scary head injury in the second quarter, when the senior slammed the side of his helmet on the turf after being knocked out of bounds. Armstrong was taken from the stadium in an ambulance, but returned to the sideline in sweats in the third quarter.Riley said it was too early to determine Armstrongs status for next week.Ryker Fyfe relieved Armstrong and finished 5 for 18 for 52 yards.THE TAKEAWAYNebraska: The Cornhuskers rode a fairly easy first-half schedule into the top 10 and gave their fans some hope that maybe they could be in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot down the stretch. Not happening. The loss was the Huskers most lopsided since a 70-10 beating by Texas Tech in 2004. Year Two under Riley for the Huskers represents a step forward, not a giant leap.The game came out of the blue to me, Riley said.Ohio State: Meyer has answered so many questions about getting the ball to Samuel more often over the last few weeks that he has been chuckling at them. Whether it was by design or not, Samuel had his best game since the opener against Bowling Green, getting 13 touches by the middle of the third quarter. By then no more were needed.Coach Meyer knows what hes doing, Samuel said. Hes going to get me the ball the number of times he feels the need to. I just need to take advantage of the opportunities get for myself.PICK-SIXESWebbs pick-six was Ohio States fifth of the season, setting a school record. In the third quarter, Malik Hooker added another one from 48 yards out.POLL IMPLICATIONSNebraska: The Huskers are likely to plummet when the new AP rankings come out Sunday and the playoff rankings are updated Tuesday.Ohio State: The Buckeyes were impressive enough to at least consider having them jump ahead of undefeated Washington in both the AP and playoff rankings.NEXTNebraska: The Cornhuskers return home to play Minnesota, which is tied atop the West standings with Nebraska and Wisconsin.Ohio State: The Buckeyes face Maryland in the first of two straight away from Ohio Stadium. Ohio States next home game is Nov. 26 against No. 2 Michigan.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Ralph D. Russo at www.Twitter.com/ralphDrussoAP Ondrej Kase Jersey . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. Nick Ritchie Ducks Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. http://www.authenticduckspro.com/Jakob-silfverberg-ducks-jersey/ .

GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Navys ground attack was relentless, and its defense definitely got the job done when it mattered.And now Navy has something it has never had before -- a division championship.Will Worth rushed for 159 yards and four touchdowns and Shawn White added 150 yards and three scores as Navy walloped East Carolina 66-31 on Saturday.The win gave the Midshipmen (8-2, 6-1 AAC) the American Athletic Conferences West Division title and propelled them into the conference championship game, while the Pirates (3-8, 1-6) lost for the eighth time in their last nine games. Navy, which will be playing in its first conference title game, leads the all-time series 5-1.This feels great, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. Nobody gave us much respect this year, and our kids took that to heart all season. Our kids have kept their mouths quiet, and Im proud of the way theyve played. Were excited about this win.The result spoiled ECUs senior day celebration for Zay Jones, who passed former teammate and current Atlanta Falcon Justin Hardy for the FBS career receptions record.Jones caught 12 passes for 212 and two touchdowns, giving him 392 career catches. Jones broke Hardys old record of 387 catches -- for 4,541 yards and 35 touchdowns -- set two seasons ago.We fought hard, but this is one of those games, especially when you play against a team like Navy, ECUs first-year head coach Scottie Montgomery said. The two three-and-out possessions, scored touchdowns and the muffed kickoff return make it hard to get into the game when youre trying to steal possessions. Im just so happy for Zay. He has just been wonderful -- he had a seamless transition into this new staff and new situation and new mindset.Worth became the fifth player in Navy history to rush for over 1,000 yards and pass for over 1,000 in the same season. He rushed for over 100 yards in his sixth straight game.This is something were definitely excited about, Worth said. Weve just got to keep this thing rolling and finish it out strong. We just kind of got in a groove and everything was working for us. Just to be able to spread the ball around like thatt, it was all working. John Gibson Jersey. The 100-plus rushing totals from Worth and White marked the third straight game in which a duo of opposing runners broke the century mark against ECU.The O-line played their butts off and made a lot of big holes for me, White said. A-backs and wide receivers were on the outside making great blocks and I was just able to see it and read it. Those holes got really, really wide. Especially for a big guy like me.James Summers rushed for 134 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown, for the Pirates.Navys seniors became the Academys all-time winningest class at 37-13 over its four seasons so far. The 1909 (36-7-5) and 2015 classes (36-16) had jointly held the record.Navy was playing one day after U.S. Marshall Patrick Carothers, a father of five including freshman reserve linebacker Paul Carothers, was shot and killed while serving a warrant in rural southeast Georgia.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: The Mids triple-option offense is a death by a thousand cuts for all but the best opponents, and thats the way they like it. With a double-threat quarterback in Worth and a dominant fullback in White, Navy has scored 42 or more points six times this season.East Carolina: The Pirates put together plenty of offensive fireworks, but were being outrushed for over 100 yards per contest before getting crushed in that part of the game (483-181) on Saturday. Theyll get one more chance to play spoiler, and then run defense must be an off-season project.STAT LINENavys nine rushing touchdowns were the most ever against ECU, surpassing the record of eight set by the Mids in 2010. The Mids finished with 480 rushing yards on 68 carries, while their 113 passing yards were the most they have ever produced against the Pirates.UP NEXTNavy: The Midshipmen will visit SMU on Saturday, and then play in the AAC title game at the home of the higher seed on Dec. 3. The Army-Navy game is Dec. 10 in Baltimore, Maryland.East Carolina: The Pirates will close their season on Saturday at Temple. ' ' '
