LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska ran on 51 of its 64 plays from scrimmage against Fresno State in a performance reminiscent of Tom Osbornes pound-the-ground teams of yesteryear.Only Air Force, Army and Navy -- all triple-option teams -- attempted fewer passes than the Cornhuskers the first weekend of the season.On Monday, Mike Riley couldnt remember a game hes coached where his team threw so little. He joked that he would have to go back to his playing days when he was the quarterback at Corvallis (Oregon) High to find a game where his team attempted only 13 passes.The coach was smart. I couldnt throw very well, Riley said, laughing.The Huskers (1-0) generated 292 of their 406 yards on the ground in their 43-10 win over Fresno State on Saturday. Dont expect the same run-pass breakdown this week against Wyoming (1-0).We liked the rushing yards, he said, but we didnt have anywhere near the balance we need as we go forward in the passing game.Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw a beautiful 57-yard touchdown pass to Alonzo Moore off play-action in the second half. That play accounted for half of the Huskers passing yards. Armstrong wasnt sharp otherwise, completing only 5 of 10 passes. Backup Ryker Fyfle was 1 for 3.I thought we could run, but I didnt envision that at all, offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf said. I think its good for our team, but we have to be able to hit some more throws. The way we were throwing wasnt giving me much confidence to throw it all.Devine Ozigbo had 17 carries for 103 yards, Terrell Newby 11 for 56 and Armstrong 11 for 42. The Huskers ran for five of their six touchdowns against an opponent that ranked 117th against the run in 2015.Nebraska passed only once in its first 21 plays, and its 13 total attempts were the fewest since the Huskers had the same number in a 41-31 win over Miami two years ago.Riley, who came to Lincoln last year with a reputation for developing passers, will be able to implement more of his pro-style offense once four-year starter Armstrong leaves. Riley recognizes Armstrongs running ability and has said he plans to incorporate it into the offense more than he did last year.But Riley also knows that leaning so much on the running game wont fly against the stout rushing defenses in the Big Ten.The Huskers were celebrated for being run-heavy in their 37-29 Foster Farms Bowl victory over UCLA last December. Nebraska ran on 62 of its 81 plays for a season-high 326 yards against the 98th-ranked rushing defense.Riley said the difference between the bowl game and the Fresno State game was that Armstrong was an efficient 12 of 19 passing for 174 yards against the Bruins.Had we looked sharper, I might be all right with how many times we threw (against Fresno State), Riley said. When we threw against UCLA, it was pretty effective, good percentages. It felt a lot better even though there were only six more attempts, I suppose. It just felt better.---Online: AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org Morten Andersen Womens Jersey .

Marshon Lattimore Womens Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon. Parramatta veteran Beau Scott feared the worst when coach Brad Arthur gathered the team for a huddle before Fridays NRL match against Manly.Honestly I thought it was going to go the other way, I thought he was going to tell us he was leaving, Scott said.But in the first ray of sunshine on what has been a very dark year at Parramatta, Arthur became the first player or coach to either sign, or re-sign, a deal with the club this year.The defiant Eels coach on Friday put pen to paper on a contract to stay until the end of 2019.Despite the most turbulent season in Parramatta history, Arthur said it wasnt a hard decision.Its easy. I love the club and I love this playing group and were all in it together, he said.It doesnt look great from the outside but trust me its a good strong playing group and theyre all very happy here. They love cominng to training.dddddddddddd. I love my job and I wouldnt change it for anything.The Eels celebrated the re-signing by claiming their 11th win of the season, a 10-9 upset over arch rivals Manly at Pirtek Stadium that all but ended the Sea Eagles finals hopes.Scott said the former Manly assistant coach has been pivotal in the teams ability to play through the dramas this season.I havent been at a club thats gone through the amount of back page and front page stories we have this year. Credit to Brad being able to get the playing group on task every week and able to perform, he said.The victory lifts the Eels to 13th spot ahead of a final month against Brisbane, Canberra, St George Illawarra and the Warriors.
