At one time, being a top 10 team was old hat for Nebraska.Not these days, which is why the Cornhuskers rise to No. 10 in this weeks poll is a big deal. Its their first top 10 ranking since November of 2011, when they promptly lost to Northwestern.If Nebraska (5-0, 2-0) isnt ready to go after an open date, this visit to the top 10 wont last long. It visits Indiana (3-2, 1-1) Saturday for what arguably is its toughest game to date.While Oregon was ranked 22nd when the Cornhuskers edged it 35-32 on Sept. 16, the Ducks have lost four in a row, taking luster off that win. The Hoosiers defeats are to 5-1 Wake Forest and No. 2 Ohio State, which had to work for nearly the full 60 minutes in last weeks 38-17 verdict.Growth is not an option or a luxury, its a necessity. That really hit home with me about our team, Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. Weve got to keep on the rise. Weve got plenty of growth still yet to do.Along with plenty of healing, for that matter. Despite the well-timed off-week, the Cornhuskers still have more injury concerns than theyd prefer. Running back Devine Ozigbo, who leads the team with 76 carries, is doubtful with a sprained ankle.Tight end Cethan Carter and wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp are also doubtful with elbow and back injuries, respectively. And quarterback Tommy Armstrong, Jr., who makes the offense go, just got his ankle out of a walking boot but should be able to play.If Ozigbo, Carter and Westerkamp do sit out, Armstrong becomes more of a marked man. And an Indiana defense which is leaps and bounds better than last year is certainly capable of putting Armstrong under siege.For his part, Armstrong is worried about just one thing.We just want to keep winning, treat every game like it is a big game and take it a week at a time, he said. It is all going to fall into place for itself. This team is really hungry for success.The Hoosiers should come to their homecoming game with burgeoning appetites as well. They could have made things tougher on Ohio State, but couldnt convert a 4th-and-1 inside the Buckeyes 5 with more than 10 minutes left.A touchdown would have pulled Indiana within 31-24, giving it more than enough time to really put game pressure on the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers gave up just 93 passing yards against the efficient J.T. Barrett, 37 of those on a scoring strike in the last four minutes.We have had some blunders, previously, as far as not finishing, admitted Hoosiers coach Kevin Wilson. We have talked about that and we can execute better. We can call some better plays. When it doesnt work, you should always do something else.Like Nebraska, Indiana is dealing with injury concerns. All-America offensive guard Dan Feeney (concussion) has missed the last three games and last years leading receiver, Simmie Cobbs, is out for the year with an ankle problem.But the Hoosiers can still pose a threat to most defenses as they lead the Big 10 in passing yardage at 293 yards per game. JUCO transfer Richard Lagow is completing 60 percent of his passes and has thrown for 11 touchdowns, but also has seven interceptions.This will be the first meeting of the teams since Nebraska joined the Big Ten five years ago. Of the conferences current alignment, Indiana and Maryland are the only schools the Cornhuskers havent played.Wilson touched on that unfamiliarity Monday, comparing Nebraska to Ohio State because of the similarities between the teams.I probably dont know them as well as Ohio State, he said, but there are similar traits offensively with line play, running game, a great quarterback that can make a lot of plays and speed on the perimeter.Riley is hopeful his team can flash all those attributes before they get to the second half. Slow starts have been a concern, and one in this game against a sneaky good team could be costly.We have to remind them that its not against the rules to score in the first and get something going, he joked. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Johnny-Hekker-Jersey/ .

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. PHOENIX -- Patrick Corbin was all over the place at the start of the game. Fortunately for the Arizona Diamondbacks, he settled down in time to put together another great performance. Corbin matched a career high with 10 strikeouts for the second straight start, and the Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Friday night. Corbin (11-1) allowed a run and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. The All-Star left-hander threw three wild pitches -- tying a franchise record -- hit a batter and walked two, but still managed to win consecutive starts for the first time since he won seven in a row from April 28 to June 2. "Early in the count I wasnt locating and they got some hits," Corbin said. "When they got some guys on I made some pitches to get out of jams." The Diamondbacks beleaguered bullpen managed to hold on for Arizonas seventh victory in the last 10 games. Heath Bell escaped a jam in the eighth thanks to a diving catch by centre fielder A.J. Pollock, and David Hernandez finished for his second save in seven chances. "I didnt have much time to think. It was a couple of steps and I was diving there. Im just glad I got a decent jump." Pollock said of his big play. Bell had blown a save opportunity in each of his last two outings, leaving the closer spot unsettled. Bell, Hernandez and J.J. Putz, who got two outs in the eighth, came into the game with five blown saves apiece this season. "Thats what we do, we grind out victories," Hernandez said. "Im happy to close out a game for Pat and send him off to the All-Star game." Milwaukee starter Tom Gorzelanny (1-3) pitched six effective innings on his 31st birthday, but was saddled with the hard-luck loss. He allowed two unearned runs and three hits. The Brewers chased Corbin in the seventh, but were unable to take advantage of a prime scoring opportunity. Yuniesky Betancourt had a leadoff double and Logan Schafer followed with a base hit to right, putting runners on second and third. Corbin retired the next two hitters, and then walked fellow All-Star Jean Segura to load the bases. Will Harris came in and struck out another All-Star, Carlos Gomez, to end the inning. Milwaukee went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on baase.dddddddddddd "When it rains, it pours," Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy said. "I feel like everything that can go wrong, does. We struggled getting runners in from third with less than two outs, and thats what beat us." Arizona scored in each of the first two innings, taking advantage of a pair of defensive miscues by Milwaukee. Adam Eaton led off the first with a base hit and raced to third on errant pickoff attempt by Gorzelanny. He came home when Paul Goldschmidt bounced to third baseman Betancourt, tying it at 1. Betancourt misplayed a sharp ground ball in the second that kicked off his glove for an error, allowing Cody Ross to score from second. That was enough for Corbin, despite a wild start that cost him a run in the first. Segura reached on a one-out infield single and moved up on Gomezs sacrifice before a pair of wild pitches allowed him to come home. Corbin threw a third wild pitch in the fourth inning after Lucroy led off with a double. Lucroy was on third with no one out, but Rickie Weeks popped up, Sean Halton was retired on a shallow fly ball and Betancourt struck out. "Certainly had opportunities, and we just cant get it done," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "We dont do a good job with people on base. To have that many opportunities and not to have somebody come through, it shouldnt go on this long." The Brewers loaded the bases with two out in the eighth inning. Bell came on to a chorus of boos, but retired pinch hitter Martin Maldonado on the ball hit to Pollock. NOTES: The Diamondbacks have an extra-base hit in a major league-best 77 straight games. ... The Diamondbacks will play a makeup game against the Texas Rangers on Aug. 1 in Arlington. The May 29 game between the teams was rained out. ... Brewers pitcher Marco Estrada will throw a bullpen session Saturday. Hes on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. ... Weeks played in his 1,000th career game, making him the 11th player in club history to reach that mark. ... Right fielder Norichika Aoki took an extra-base hit away from Pollock with a lunging catch near the fence in the sixth inning. Schafer stole a hit from Martin Prado in the seventh with a diving catch of a sinking drive to left.
