LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just couldnt get over the hump tonight. Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood. So well see.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Nebraska continues to search for production from its bench. Nebraskas non-starters contributed just 2 points in the first half and six in the second half in a combined 53 minutes of time on the floor.Louisiana Tech: Louisiana Tech has one more trip to a power 5 conference school in its first six games, playing at California on Nov. 30.

Vapormax Pas Cher Du Tout . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans believe they are ready to make a stand on their home field.Finally.For a franchise thats gone a measly 2-16 at home since the end of the 2013 season, the Titans best chance at a decent season may rest on a three-game homestand that starts Sunday against the winless Cleveland Browns.Its huge because as you guys know, our stands, they get a little empty toward the end of the fourth quarter usually when were losing, defensive lineman Karl Klug said Monday. None of us really like that, but rightfully so. We arent giving the fans much to cheer about. Were going to have to change things.A combined 5-27 overall the past two seasons, the Titans have beaten only Jacksonville in Nashville during that stretch and already have lost their first two home games to start this season. Now theyre coming off a second straight road game by routing Miami 30-17 in a way the Titans believe is the formula to winning under coach Mike Mularkey.Tennessee ran for 235 yards, Marcus Mariota threw for three touchdowns and had his first game this season without an interception, and the defense had six sacks and two interceptions. DeMarco Murray leads the AFC and is second in the NFL with 461 yards rushing, while linebacker Brian Orakpo is tied for third in the league with six sacks already.Still, this franchise hasnt strung together consecutive wins since the end of the 2013 season. Its been such a long stretch that defensive lineman Jurrell Casey couldnt recall when Tennessee last won back-to-back games, though tight end Delanie Walker remembered the occasion happening in his first season with the Titans.Casey said this homestand offers a huge opportunity.This is definitely going to be a momentum kicker, Casey said.dddddddddddd And if we dont improve from this, then were just going in the opposite direction and were not looking forward to that. I think our guys are going to take this under our belt, and were going to run with it. Weve got the right mindset of the group of guys in this building to make sure we make it happen.Cornerback Jason McCourty said the NFL is about putting together streaks.Its not about win a game, lose a game, win a game, McCourty said.Tennessees schedule provides an opportunity to build some momentum.The Titans three losses have come against teams with a combined 12-3 record. The next three opponents are 3-11, with Indianapolis (2-3) and Jacksonville (1-3) following Cleveland. Of the Titans remaining 11 games, only three teams have winning records.Thats our main focus ..., Walker said. We want to win out in the second quarter. Thats all were thinking about. We got one win, now we got three home games, and I think its a great opportunity to get wins at home.Mularkey is trying to keep the Titans focused only on the Browns (0-5), a team that has beaten Tennessee each of the past two seasons. He said theres no way the Titans will look past Cleveland.It has to start somewhere, Mularkey said. Our first opponents Cleveland on Sunday, and thats all were going to lock into.Game notes Mularkey said SS DaNorris Searcy (ankle) and CB Cody Riggs (hamstring) should return to practice this week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.
