LINCOLN, Neb. Wilson Ramos Jersey . -- Nebraska is unbeaten in mid-October and its No. 8 ranking is its highest in five years. Time for the fans and media to start scrutinizing just how good the Cornhuskers are.One narrative is that the Huskers have been just good enough to beat everyone on what thus far has been a light schedule and that their worthiness of a top-10 ranking is questionable. Another narrative is that a team that has dealt with the offseason death of their all-conference punter and myriad injuries is coming out on top after losing so many close games last year.Coach Mike Riley said Monday he tells his players the outside chatter means nothing and that whats happened so far will have little bearing on how the season is remembered.Were at a good point with our record right now. We love that record, Riley said. Whatever ranking that brings us right now is great. All this stuff is just fun for everybody else, and for us its exactly the record we want, and now we have to get better.The Huskers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) probably need to get a lot better if they hope to survive the meat of their schedule, which begins after Saturdays home game against Purdue (3-3, 1-2).Back-to-back road games against No. 10 Wisconsin and No. 2 Ohio State come next, and theres a visit to defending West Division champion Iowa following home games against Minnesota and Maryland.Inconsistency on offense and poorly performing special teams are Rileys greatest concerns.The 360 total yards in Saturdays 27-22 win at Indiana were a season low and third lowest in Rileys 19 games at Nebraska. Take away Stanley Morgans 72-yard touchdown -- on a play in which two safeties ran into each other -- and Brandon Reillys 45-yard catch on a deflected ball, and the Huskers averaged just 3.5 yards a play.Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw two interceptions, a couple jet sweep plays netted little despite looking promising and an offensive line reeling from injuries took another hit when left tackle Nick Gates hurt his ankle.But as it did in the previous game, against Illinois, the offense put together a decisive drive in the fourth quarter against a worn-down defense. Terrell Newby did most of the work on a 15-play, 60-yard possession that took nearly 8 minutes off the clock and ended with a field goal putting the Huskers up five points with 45 seconds to play. Along the way, Nebraska converted a fourth-and-1 and survived a video review of a Newby fumble, which was ruled to have occurred after his knee touched the ground.The punt team continued to struggle. Caleb Lightbourn had a punt blocked for the second time, this one resulting in a safety, and Mitchell Paige had a 39-yard return to set up an Indiana touchdown.It was a bad day, Riley said. That teams job is to cover and protect, and we didnt do either of them. We have a lot of work to do there.He also lamented a missed opportunity on a 15-yard punt return by DeMornay Pierson-El that Riley said was one block away from going for a touchdown.Nebraskas defense, particularly the much-improved secondary, continues to be the strength of the team.The Huskers intercepted two passes against Indiana, giving them 11 through six games. Last year they picked off 10 passes in 13 games. They also had three sacks on Saturday.Safety Kieron Williams already seems to be heeding Rileys advice about not listening to those who judge the looks of the Huskers wins.Style points? What it looks like? Williams asked. I dont think it matters as long as you get the `W.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Ryan Zimmerman Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. Shawn Kelley Nationals Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. http://www.baseballnationalsauthority.com/hats/ .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry. Olympic boxings governing body, AIBA, has taken further action in the wake of the judging controversy which has rocked the Rio Olympic Games.AIBA confirmed its executive director, Algerian Karim Bouzidi, has been re-assigned with immediate effect to a new role within the organisation.It follows the expulsion of a number of judges -- believed to total six -- from the Games in light of a series of officiating issues, chiefly involving defeats for Kazakhstan heavyweight Vassiliy Levit and Irelands Michael Conlan.One of those officials who is believed to have been sent home is another Algerian, Kheira Sidi Yakoub, who both refereed the Conlan fight and scored the heavyweight final in favour of Russias Evgeny Tishchenko.The beleaguered governing body blundered further on Thursday by issuing a - - subsequently corrected -- statement which mistakenly claimed: AIBA... remains fully committed to a zero tolerance policy towards fair play in boxing.The corrected version read: Further to the decision taken yesterday by AIBA with regard to the reassessment of the judges and referees officiating during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the AIBA vice presidents and executive board members have decided to reassign with immediate effect the current AIBA executive director to a new role within the organisation.Consequently, the operational responsibilities for the remainder of the Olympic boxing competition will now fall undeer the responsibilities of the most senior vice president of the AIBA executive board, Mr Franco Falcinelli, president of the European Boxing Confederation. Jayson Werth Nationals Jersey. The Olympic Games, of which boxing has been a part since 1904, represent the pinnacle of all sports. Since the beginning of Rio 2016, AIBA has conducted over 250 bouts and remains fully committed to fair play in boxing, always seeking to act in the boxers utmost interests.The decisions taken emphasise that AIBA will not shy away from its responsibilities and will continue to ensure a level playing field and a fair and transparent sport. It is of paramount importance to protect our sport and its R&J community whose integrity has been put into question.A number of the officials involved in the Levit and Conlan bouts continued to operate at the Games on Thursday, although there was still no sign of Irelands Michael Gallagher, who is among those believed to have been sent home.Conlan launched a furious, expletive-laden tirade live on Irish broadcaster RTE immediately after he dropped a points verdict to Russias Vladimir Nikitin.Such was the punishment sustained by Nikitin that he was unable to contest his bantamweight semi-final against Shakur Stevenson on Thursday afternoon, with the American granted a walkover.
