LINCOLN, Neb. Reggie Wayne Jersey . -- To a man, and starting with the head coach, the Nebraska Cornhuskers said their first loss of the season motivates them more than disappoints them and that there would be no emotional hangover when they play No. 6 Ohio State in the second of two straight difficult road games.I think our team actually will be mad, coach Mike Riley said Monday. You can be sad, or you can be mad, and you can have a chip on your shoulder and know we can be better and go play hard. Well have to play hard and well to win, but thats the approach our team will take.The No. 9 Huskers (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) lamented missed opportunities in their 23-17 overtime loss at now-No. 8 Wisconsin . Quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. wasnt sharp and the running game never got going, yet they were in position to win after the Badgers missed a field goal late in regulation and an extra point in overtime.Were not going to be hung up about it and be sad about that, tight end Trey Foster said. The seasons right in front of us. Nobodys dreams have been crushed.Nebraska holds a one-game lead over Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Northwestern in the Big Ten West. The Huskers still have to play Minnesota and Iowa.First, theyll go to Ohio Stadium as two-touchdown underdogs for a Saturday night prime-time game. The Buckeyes (7-1, 4-1) need a win to keep pace with East Division-leading Michigan.The Huskers lost 63-38 in their last visit to Columbus, under Bo Pelini in 2012. That was Urban Meyers first year with the Buckeyes. Meyer is 57-5 in five seasons, including 32-2 at home, and has won a national title and brings in top recruiting classes each year. Meyers body of work in the Big Ten reminds Riley of the job Pete Carroll did in the Pac-12 with Southern California from 2001-09. Riley was at Oregon State for all but two years of Carrolls run.SC started to take off and set the standard, and I think thats what Ohio State has done probably, Riley said. But I think there are teams rising, too. Thats kind of exciting. You either rise up and get better yourself or you get left way in the dust.The last three weeks, the gap between Ohio State and the rest of the league has been as narrow as its been during Meyers time at the school. The Buckeyes beat Wisconsin in overtime at home, lost at Penn State to have their 20-game road win streak end, and defeated Northwestern 24-20 at home last Saturday.It makes you feel a little better, that they are beatable and teams have been able to do stuff on them, receiver Jordan Westerkamp said. Well watch those games, obviously, real close and come up with an awesome game plan and be ready to go.Defensive lineman Carlos Davis said he watched the Buckeyes dominate when he was in high school, and hes been pumped to play them since he first saw the schedule. Hes more excited now.It makes us more passionate to go get these guys after the tough loss, Davis said. Youve got another big opponent, and after losing, it fires you up a bit.Game notes Riley had mixed news on the injury front. Offensive lineman Tanner Farmer severely sprained his ankle against Wisconsin and is out. Linebacker Dedrick Young hurt his elbow, and Riley was uncertain of his status. Tight end Cethan Carter, out since Oct. 1 with an elbow injury, is unlikely to play. Westerkamp has a sore ankle but will play.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ;Jabaal Sheard Jersey . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Jack Mewhort Jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. http:///...ic-pat-mcafee-jersey .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers cross paths Tuesday night after similar starts to the new campaign.Both teams won their season openers, only to drop the next two games.The Pacers return home after dropping two straight on the road in Brooklyn and Chicago over the weekend.New point guard Jeff Teague has struggled, averaging just 8.0 points on 20 percent shooting, and the second unit is trying to get healthy. Backup point guard Aaron Brooks has yet to play this season due to a sore right knee, Rodney Stuckey has missed time with hamstring issues, and C.J. Miles has been limited in his minutes as well.Brooks was a full participant in practice on Monday and could return against the Lakers. Stuckey is still awaiting results on his MRI.Its a new group and its going to take some time to jell, coach Nate McMillan said after the loss to the Bulls. As a group, we have to work better together.Paul George and Myles Turner have done their jobs in the early going, averaging a combined 43.3 points, but theyll need a lot more from guys like Teague if theyre going to be successful.Hes been an All-Star, George said of Teague. Hell fight through it. Were not worried about that.The Pacers may not be worried about their offense moving forward, but their defense may be cause for concern. They gave up 118 points to the Bulls on Saturday, as Chicago shot 52 percent from the field.Pacers teams of the past prided themselves on defense, but its been a struggle in the early going.The good news for Indiana is that 11 of its next 15 games are at home. Theyll need to take advantage of a favorable November schedule.. Darius Butler Jersey. For the Lakers, the post Kobe Bryant era began with a big opening night win over Houston. Since then, theyve dropped two road games in Utah and Oklahoma City. Theyll travel to Indianapolis for the third game of their four-game road trip.Julius Randle has been a bright-spot thus far, as he scored 20 points to go along with nine rebounds in the loss to the Thunder. For the season, Randle is averaging 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and is shooting 68 percent from the field.Theres more confidence, and it just comes with playing, getting back used to your body, Randle told ESPN.com. I feel great. My body feels better than ever.New coach Luke Walton has been pleased with his teams effort so far. I told our guys I loved the way they competed tonight, Walton said after Sundays game.Tuesdays matchup will feature two teams that want to push the tempo. The Lakers and Pacers are ranked 8th and 12th, respectively, in pace of play so far this season, according to NBA.com.The turnover battle will also be something to watch. The Lakers have the second most turnovers in the NBA right now (18.3 per game), but they also force their fair share of them, averaging the third most points off turnovers per game (21.3).The point guard match-up could be a huge factor in this game, as both Teague and the Lakers DAngelo Russell are talented, but struggling with their shot in the early season.The Pacers have won five of the last six meetings between these two teams, including both match-ups last season.
