LOS ANGELES -- UCLA will need all 11 players on defense and special teams to contain Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey.The Bruins have used almost as many players to simulate McCaffrey in practice this week as they prepare to face the Heisman Trophy contender on Saturday.Wide receiver Darren Andrews listed quarterback Craig Myers and wideouts Damian Alloway, Theo Howard, Stephen Johnson, Christian Pabico and Brad Sochowski as having played McCaffrey on the scout team.Im not on that side so I really cant see, but from what I hear they are doing a good job, Andrews said. We got a lot of different players playing that position, different players with different attributes that we think McCaffrey has.UCLA is more than familiar with the various facets of McCaffreys game. As a freshman, he had 88 all-purpose yards in a 31-10 upset win for the Cardinal that denied UCLA a spot in the Pac-12 title game, showing tantalizing hints of what was to come. McCaffrey rushed for 243 yards and four touchdowns last season as Stanford extended its winning streak in the series to eight games.Its hard to emulate him with anybody, coach Jim Mora said. No disrespect to any other players in the country but I think he is the best player in football.McCaffrey has totaled 200 all-purpose yards in eight consecutive games and rushed for 100 yards in 13 of his last 14 games, demonstrating the versatility and elusiveness that Mora described in detail while lavishing praise on the junior.He is really slippery. He doesnt go down easy. Hes like a pinball in there sometimes. Even when you wrap, he has an uncanny ability to get arms off of him. And he always falls forward, Mora said. I think all of this is a product of this great competitiveness that he has inside of him. How can you respect a guy more than you can respect the way he plays football? Its unbelievable.While UCLA has struggled to mimic McCaffrey, Mora believes his team is better prepared to handle No. 7 Stanfords physicality after moving to a more pro-style offense and adding intense 9-on-7 run drills during spring practice and training camp. That emphasis finally seemed to pay off last week, as UCLA held BYU to 23 rushing yards.Factoring in sacks, the 23 net yards rushing allowed was the best performance by UCLAs defense since holding Arizona State to 21 yards in 2008. It was a step forward after allowing 378 yards rushing combined in UCLAs first two games against Texas A&M and UNLV.We still have to execute, Mora said. We still have to get off blocks. We cant get shoved down the field. We have to tackle well in space. We have to get bodies around Christian McCaffrey. We have to take care of this quarterback and cover, but I think we appear, we appear, to be better equipped, so thats a positive.That extensive 9-on-7 work could also benefit the UCLA offense against a Stanford run defense that has been an annual fixture at or near the top of the Pac-12 rankings.Thats how we opened practice, running back Nate Starks said. Hard-nosed football, downhill running the ball, and thats what it is going to be like all game against Stanford. Air Jordan 11 Cheap Online . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer.

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Jabrill Peppers might be more than Mr. Everything for Michigan. He could be Mr. Heisman, too.Peppers ran for a career-high two touchdowns and set up another score with a 63-yard scamper in his return to his native New Jersey and No. 4 Michigan routed Rutgers 78-0 on Saturday night in a game in which the Scarlet Knights were limited to 22 yards total yards and two first downs.If theres a better player in the country I dont know who it is, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said after the Wolverines (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) matched their best start since 2011 and had their largest margin of victory since an 85-0 victory in 1939 over Chicago University.Harbaugh then went all in for the junior who has played 12 positions for the Wolverines this season.In my humble opinion youre looking at a Heisman Trophy winner, Harbaugh said. After a pause and half a smile, he added the word candidate.Peppers had scoring runs of 7 and 4 yards after taking direct snaps, and his career-long run midway through the first quarter paved the way to a 4-yard touchdown run by Ty Isaac for the first score of the game.A lot of my friends came out today who hadnt seen my play in person since high school so I definitely wanted to put my best put foot forward, said Peppers, who pointed to his mom in the stands after the game and yelled that `he loved her.It could have been a better day for Peppers. He had a 44-yard punt return for a first-quarter touchdown nullified by an illegal block.One of his touchdown runs came on a broken play, quarterback Wilson Speight said.He wasnt there so he just took off, Speight said. As he was running I thought this kid looks like a guy I created in NCAA football on my Xbox.Rutgers (2-4, 0-3) has lost three straight, with the last two being embarrassing for new coach Chris Ash. No. 2 Ohio State beat the Scarlet Knights 58-0 last weekend, holding them to 116 yards in total offense.This was worse, and seeing Peppers come home and put up a highlight reel added to the woe for the crowd of 53,292. Michigan had 600 yards in total offense and held the Scarlet Knights to 0 for 17 on third downRutgers senior safety Anthony Cioffi felt numb after the game.It just feels like playing a video game, he said. Just got spanked.Rutgers did not get a first down unttil Trey Sneed had a 12-yard run with 9:06 left in the fourth quarter.ddddddddddddThe 78-0 loss was Rutgers worst since an 82-0 setback against Princeton in 1888.We had a tough stretch -- three great teams we had, but theres no excuse for it, Cioffi said.Khalid Hill tallied twice from a yard out and caught an 11-yard pass from backup quarterback John OKorn early in the third quarter. Jehu Chesson had the best catch of the rainy night, diving to catch a 30-yard touchdown pass from Speight in the first quarter.Karan Higdon added touchdown runs of 15 and 44 yards, Bobby Henderson tallied from 13 and Isaac capped the scoring with a 34-yarder for his second of the game.TAKEAWAYMichigan: If Michigan wanted to make a statement to New Jersey recruits of where to play, coach Jim Harbaugh is going to get a ton of players from the Garden State. He has nine already. Peppers also made a statement for the Heisman rushing for a career high 74 yards on three carries and finishing with two tackles and a quarterback pressure.Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights are making a run for the worst team in the Power Five. Instead of getting better as the season progresses, the offense has gone downhill since Janarion Grant was hurt against Iowa. This was so bad Michael Cintron punted 16 times.ALMOST: Rutgers thought it scored on the final play of the third quarter on a 75-yard interception return by Deonte Roberts. A review showed the ball hit the ground and it was overturned.FISTS: About eight Michigan players raised their fists during the national anthem.WOWS: Michigans nine rushing touchdowns are tied for the most in program history (1939 vs. Chicago). This was the Wolverines second-largest margin of victory since 1920 (78 points) and its third-highest in program history. It is the largest margin of victory in a conference game, replacing a 69-point win against Northwestern in 1975.POINTS: It was the most points given up by Rutgers since an 80-7 loss to West Virginia in 2001UP NEXTMichigan: has a bye before playing at home against Illinois on Oct. 22.Rutgers: The competition level dips as Illinois comes to the birthplace of college football on Oct. 15.
