LINCOLN, Neb. Air Max 98 South Beach España . -- Mike Riley wanted a change of scenery when he left Oregon State for Nebraska the first week of December 2014. One vision he thought he had left behind was the one of the Oregon Ducks beating his team year after year.Right after he accepted the job in Lincoln, he said, someone told him the Ducks were on the schedule in 2016 and 17.The first game of the home-and-home series is Saturday at Memorial Stadium, and Riley says hes excited about it -- maybe because he figures he can be more competitive with the Ducks now that hes at Nebraska.We didnt fare all that well through the many years with them, Riley said, but it was a great rivalry and we saw changes in both programs as we went forward. It was one of those deals where you didnt necessarily like it, but you had to admire the work that was going on in that program.Riley lost his last seven meetings against the Ducks , who went 80-14, won four conference titles and played in two national championship games from 2008-14.The Oregon team his Huskers will face is not quite as imposing. The No. 22 Ducks (2-0) are coming off a 9-4 season, and while their offense has continued to ring up big numbers, their defense was one of the nations worst in 2015 and has been shaky so far under new coordinator Brady Hoke.Nebraska needs a win to show its on the rise under Riley, who went 6-7 in his first season with a bunch of close losses and has pulled away in the second halves of blowout wins over Fresno State and Wyoming.It is a good opportunity because this is a national team, a team thats been good for a long time, and itll be a great opportunity for us to get a big win, and thats what were after, Riley said.Oregon needs a win to show its not slipping. The Ducks finished last season ranked No. 19 and were No. 24 in this years preseason poll.Especially with the preseason rankings and current rankings, we have an underdog feel, and I love that, and the guys love that, quarterback Dakota Prukop said. Were working well with that.Things to know about the matchup:PAC-12 VS. BIG TENSince 2000, Oregon is 6-3 against opponents from the Big Ten and Nebraska is 12-10 against current members of the Pac-12. Oregon is playing Nebraska for the first time since 1986, when the Huskers were in the old Big Eight. The Huskers have won five of six meetings with the Ducks.PREPARING FOR NOISEThe Ducks plan to use silent counts on offense to counter the noise of Nebraskas 350th consecutive sellout crowd.Prukop, the first-year starter who is a graduate transfer, played before about 20,000 at Montana State, and his first two games at Autzen Stadium in Eugene drew about 54,000. Ive never been in front of 90,000, Prukop said. Im sure therell be a big difference at Nebraska.TURNOVER BATTLEPrukop has thrown no interceptions in 61 attempts, and Nebraskas defense is tied for second in the nation with seven picks. The Ducks have lost two fumbles, both by Charles Nelson on punt and kick returns. Nebraskas Tommy Armstrong Jr. has been intercepted once, and the Huskers have lost no fumbles.ROYCE ROLLSOregons Royce Freeman is 129 yards from moving past Kenjon Barner as the schools No. 2 career rusher. Freeman needs 1,588 yards to overtake LaMichael James at the top of the chart. Freeman, who set a single-season record with 1,836 yards last season, comes to Lincoln averaging 147 a game.TIES THAT BINDOregon coach Mark Helfrich and Nebraska offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf have known each other since they were contemporaries as star high school and small college quarterbacks in the Beaver State. Nebraska special teams coach Bruce Reads father, Don Read, was Oregons head coach from 1974-76.And both schools have Tom Osbornes . Oregons Osborne is a longtime assistant, Nebraskas is the College Football Hall of Fame coach and then a congressman.We always say `The Tom Osborne around here, Helfrich said, adding that Nebraskas Osborne set a lot of standards during his 25-year career.We know whose stadium were going into, Helfrich said.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Air Max 97 Mujer Rebajas .

AUBURN, Ala. -- Mustapha Heron had his first career double-double -- 24 points and 10 rebounds -- Danjel Purifoy scored 16 points, and Auburn beat Eastern Kentucky 85-64 Thursday night in a Cancun Challenge game.Heron shouldered the load, but Auburn needed a team effort to keep its season-opening win streak alive.The Tigers led 10-2 but went cold while Eastern Kentucky (1-2) rallied and stayed ahead until two and a half minutes left in the first half. Purifoy hit a 3-pointer amid a 9-2 run and Auburn led 37-34 at halftime.The Colonels (1-2) closed to within 38-39 early in the second half on Jaylen Babb-Harrisons layup. Auburn pulled away on a 15-2 run and led 65-50 after a free throw by Heron and Eastern Kentucky got no closer.Auburns 34.5 shooting percentage in the first period became a scorching 56.7 percent in the second half as the Tigers broke the game open.Theyre a good team, and you cant give a team like that second- and third-chance opportunities, and thats what we did, Eastern Kentucky coach Dan McHale said. We allowed them to impose their will, and they made us pay.The Tigers (3-0) were by propelled by Heron, a freshman, who connected on all eight of his field goal attempts, but only made seven of his 13 free throws.Auburn outrebounded the Colonels 51-30, but made 25 of 41 free throws (61 percent), which helped Eastern Kentucky stay close for most of the game.I thought that we were obviously, our physicality -- the difference between the OVC and the SEC showed up on the boards, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. And obviously we took advantage of some things. I dont think that our offensive execution is not whhat it needs to be. Air Max 270 Light Bone Hot Punch. Were going to spend some time doing a better job with that.Nick Mayo led the Colonels with 22 points and five rebounds, and Dillon Avare added 14 points.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers finish their opening homestand 3-0 and head to Cancun, Mexico, on a roll.Eastern Kentucky: The Colonels drop the first of two games against Power 5 opponents and fall below .500 on the season.HE SAID ITInteresting. Weve struggled from the free throw line and we were shooting great in the preseason and we actually shot more free throws this week than we have in a while. I think Im not going to shoot any more free throws and just let them do it on their own because that could have been an issue in the outcome. -- Auburn coach Bruce PearlMAJOR MILESTONEAuburn guard Ronnie Johnson finished with 13 points, but it was a seemingly meaningless layup midway through the second half that mattered the most. With those two points, Johnson eclipsed 1,000 total points for his career. Johnson, a graduate transfer, scored 697 points in his first two years at Purdue and had 291 at Houston last year.STARTING HOTWith the win, Auburn moves to 3-0 for the first time since 2011-12. Its the second time in 12 years thats happened on The Plains.UP NEXTAuburn travels to Cancun to play Texas Tech on Tuesday for the Tigers first away game, and theyll look to keep Bruce Pearls best start at Auburn going.Eastern Kentucky also plays the Red Raiders in Cancun, but the Colonels take on Texas Tech on Saturday.
