Oregons first road game of the season will include a Sea of Red as a sellout crowd of over 87,000 will be on hand to welcome the No. 22 Ducks, who take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. There also will be a very familiar face pacing on the opposing sidelines.Mike Riley is in his second season at Nebraska (2-0) after serving 14 seasons as head coach at Oregon State. Riley went 4-10 in Civil War battles with Oregon (2-0) but lost his final seven games against the Ducks including a 47-19 loss on Nov. 29, 2014, five days before he left for Nebraska.Nebraska leads Oregon 5-1 in the all-time series, with the two teams last meeting in 1986, a 48-14 Cornhuskers victory.Now Riley gets another shot at trying to cause the Ducks some misery.That is bizarre, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said of having to face his old rival again. We were talking about that when Coach Riley took the Nebraska job, that would have been the office pool of all office pools on that one.Helfrich is 2-0 against Riley, beating Oregon State during his first two seasons as coach: 36-35 on a Josh Huff touchdown catch with 29 seconds remaining in 2013, and then the 47-19 blowout in 2014.Riley is off to a 2-0 start at Nebraska this season, the Huskers outscoring a pair of middle of the road Mountain West Conference teams in Fresno State (43-10) and Wyoming (52-17) by a combined 95-27. But this is the contest that many of the folks in Lincoln have been waiting for to see just how good the Cornhuskers can be in 2016.With coach Riley being here, there is a bunch of hype about playing them and I want to play well for myself and my team and staff, but we all agree this is like any other game, Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong said. We need to make sure to prepare the right way and dont let the hype get to our heads and lose focus on the bigger goal, which is to go out and win the game.Theyve done a fantastic job, theyre rolling, two huge victories, Helfrich said. Huge differential on the turnovers, two games that kind of hinged on a five-minute span.Oregons defense is allowing 27 points per game in wins over UC Davis, a FCS school, and Virginia, which opened the season with a loss to FCS Richmond.This is a little different football team, Oregons new defensive coordinator Brady Hoke said of the Cornhuskers.Oregon allowed 193 rushing yards to Virginia, but that included minus-51 yards on sacks. The Cavaliers three running backs ran 31 times for 220 yards, an average of more than seven per carry.There were still too many runs that got out there, Hoke said. Part of it is tackling and part of it is fitting the defense the right way. There were too many runs that were eight-plus that we have to take way.Oregons offense looks as good as usual with an average of 48.5 points through two weeks.New quarterback Dakota Prukop, a senior transfer from Montana State, is completing 68.9 percent of his passes for an average of 301 yards per game with six touchdowns. Running back Royce Freeman is averaging 147 yards per game on the ground. And explosive wide receiver Devon Allen, who got a late start to the season after finishing fifth in the 110-meter hurdles at the Olympics, had four catches for 141 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown, against Virginia.The big question is how will the Ducks handle a raucous road environment for the first time this season?Theyre a really good football team, veteran quarterback, veteran line, a bunch of skill guys that have been around for a long time, Helfrich said. Then defensively, special teams, a lot of schemes that weve seen for many years. Theyve done a great job for a long time. The biggest thing in dealing with any environment is us, just our mindset going on the road. Its a great environment, an awesome college football venue. Our job is to take care of us.

Brazil Fred World Cup Jersey .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans. Could it be that Novak Djokovics season, which seemed nearly golden just two short months ago, has turned to dross before our very eyes?On Sunday, he fell to Juan Martin del Potro, perhaps the most dangerous unseeded player in the Rio Olympics draw, in the tournaments opening round. It was a loss that Djokovic described as one of the toughest of my life and one that left him in tears.But it only got worse. The next day, he and Nenad Zimonjic lost in the first round of doubles.Djokovic clearly had enough. Shortly after his Rio failures, he announced he was pulling out of the Cincinnati Masters, a baffling move that suggests the workings of a mind or heart in turmoil.All this with Roger Federer out of the picture for the rest of the year and with Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and other ATP stars heavily committed at the Olympics in singles, and in some cases, doubles.A Masters shield is no substitute for an Olympic gold medal -- its not even close. But punishing a few second serves and midcourt forehands would provide balm for a wounded spirit. Playing Cincinnati certainly would do a few other good things for Djokovic: It would help put Rio behind him and he could grind burrs off the edges of his game. Idle hands are the devils workshop, and all that.Djokovic might even get a few good, close looks at that monstrous serve of much-improved US Open contender Milos Raonic. Thats a player who, like Tomas Berdych, made a tactical decision to detour around Rio with his eyes already fixed on the New York prize.Instead, Djokovic vanished. He walked out on a Masters 1000 event that counted heavily on his presence (a snub made more striking by Djokovics stated desire to be perceived as an ATP leader). It looks like he will enter the US Open having played just one competitive singles match in almost a full month -- that bitter loss in Rio.Suddenly, it seems like his holistic approach has sprung some holes. His laser-like focus has, at least temporarily, gone hayywire.dddddddddddd He appears the be hurting and confused. Hes suffered from bad timing and endured bad luck in the form of bad draws, the sum of which appears to be a puzzling, if not downright bad, decision to bail on Cincinnati.It goes to show that bad can happen to anyone.Timing-wise, its impossible to say how much that long-awaited win at the French Open distracted and ultimately might have contributed to Djokovics form at Wimbledon. The defending champion, he certainly said all the right things in London about putting the win that earned him his career Grand Slam behind him. But wanting, saying and doing are three very different things. Its something well never know.It certainly didnt help Djokovic that his third-round opponent at Wimbledon was Sam Querrey. The 28-year-old, 6-foot-6 American is the type of player the elites at Wimbledon most fear. Hes capable of taking the racket out of anyones hand with his atomic serve. He has the reach to cut off passing shots and the power to belt winners from the baseline.Djokovic absorbed the upset as talk of a calendar-year Grand Slam died, as did chatter about Djokovic closing in on Federers major singles title record. The notion that Djokovic was struggling with some physical or personal problem was floated in his postmatch press conference. Djokovic endorsed the theory but refused to elaborate.It was a discordant end to Djokovics quest, but he appeared to find his rails again in the Canada Masters, where he won the title without the loss of a set on a court very much like the one in Rio.But there was more bad in store. And it was at an event where Djokovic desperately wanted to shine.It will still be interesting to see what lasting effects, if any, these Olympian blows will have on Djokovic, and whether a golden start to the season completely unravels at the US Open.
