INDIANAPOLIS -- When Frank Gore hears the list, he shakes his head.Two weeks ago, he passed Thurman Thomas.Last week, it was Franco Harris.This week in London, the Indianapolis Colts running back needs 88 yards to move past Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, Marshall Faulk and Jim Brown on the leagues career rushing list.If Gore stays healthy and productive through the rest of this season, he just might catch Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson, too.Gore never dreamed he would be mentioned in the same breath as so many all-time greats or be able to potentially pass seven Hall of Fame running backs in one season.James is the only one of the eight who hasnt been inducted, though he is the Colts career rushing leader and former University of Miami player, just like Gore.Man, thats a blessing, especially coming out of college as a third-round (draft) pick, Gore said Tuesday.A lot of people said I wouldnt be here long enough to do something like that. Eighty-eight yards? I hope it happens this weekend.At age 33, Gore doesnt spend much time reflecting on milestones, and though he knows hes No. 13 all time, he couldnt tell you his rushing total was 12,225 yards or that his 83 consecutive starts are the most of any back in the league.See Gore would rather watch film, prep for the Colts longest trip of the season and make sure Indy (1-2) takes advantage of its chance to get to .500 with a win over the winless Jacksonville Jaguars so he gets another shot to get the most elusive prize of all -- a Super Bowl ring.Teammates have learned to expect nothing less from Gore, who refuses to let age, opponents or anything else get in his way.Frank is definitely a different kind of guy from the ones Ive played with before, running back Jordan Todman said. Hes probably the most veteran back Ive played with, and the marks hes made on this game are unbelievable.At times, Gore has made the hard work look easy.After running for 608 yards as a rookie in 2005 with San Francisco, the 49ers strong offensive line cleared the way for Gore to top the 1,000-yard mark eight times over the next nine years. He missed by 147 yards in 2010, when he was limited to 11 games.When coach Jim Harbaugh departed after the 2014 seasons and the 49ers appeared to be in rebuild mode, Gore decided to leave the only NFL home he had known.Initially, he agreed to sign with Philadelphia then changed his mind and joined former college teammate Andre Johnson in Indy, a team many pegged as a title contender.But 2015 didnt go according to plan.Injuries forced the Colts to shuffle their offensive line and the predictable struggles led to a series of injuries that knocked Andrew Luck out of nine games.The running lanes were smaller and closed quicker than expected, too, and as a result, Gore finished a frustrating season with a career low of 3.7 yards per carry, 967 yards and out of the playoffs.Im not over it. Im not going to be over it until I do it, Gore said in May when asked about coming up short of 1,000 yards.To go after my goals again, to be the one to get the 100 yards that they didnt have in years, to get that 1,000-plus yards.Now I got another opportunity to do it so from here on out I just have to start taking care of my body, eating healthy, start training to get myself ready to try to go get it.So Gore has embarked on a personal mission to become the teams first 1,000-yard runner since 2007 and end a league-high 53 consecutive-game streak without a 100-yard runner, a streak that almost ended last week against San Diego.Gore ran 13 times for 70 yards in the first half, but finished with 21 carries for 82 yards.If Gore ends the drought Sunday, he will also leapfrog four big names on the career rushing list including Jim Brown (12,312) at No. 9, and put Gore within striking distance of two more household names, Dorsett (12,739) and Dickerson (13,259), still the NFLs single-season rushing leader.Pretty amazing, coach Chuck Pagano said. You think of Jim Brown, you think of one of the best if not the very best to play that position.Its a testament to Frank, his worth ethic, his passion, his durability, his reliability. You can check all the boxes next to his name. Great career.Game notes Indy put outside linebacker Trent Cole on injured reserve Tuesday. Pagano said he aggravated his back injury Sunday and will likely need surgery.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap nfl jerseys .

During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Every college football team starts the season with its list of goals. You neednt go further back than every news conference of every coach at every top-shelf program at every summertime media day to hear the list aloud:Win the division;Win the conference;Make the College Football Playoff;Win the national championship.So what happens when those goals become impossible as they are eliminated one by one, in reverse?What do you do when youre Houston, and before you go to bed Saturday night, you turn on SportsCenter and hear Heather Dinich saying your playoff hopes have been sunk by Navy?What do you do when youre Louisville and you just lost to Clemson by inches and now youre turning on the radio and everyone is saying that Houston is taking you down with them ... on your day off?What do you do when youre Notre Dame and you were a preseason playoff darling, but youve lost two of the past three and are sitting at 2-4?Stanford, LSU, Michigan State, USC, UCLA, Ole Miss, even BYU and San Diego State ... what do you do?What can a coach do when the wind is taken from a locker rooms sails? Stand up on a chair and blow and hope to get the ship moving again?Its tough because of the way that the national conversation has changed now, said Stanford coach David Shaw, whose team was throttled by Washington in Week 4 and then endured a baffling 42-16 stumble against Washington State, made worse by an injury to 2015 Heisman runner-up Christian McCaffrey.Because of the playoff and the expectations of postseason awards, thats what people talk about. And thats fine. But the goal for a football coach is to keep the view shorter than that. If you dont take care of today, this week, the next game, then none of those other things are possible. The irony of it being that when certain goals become out of reach, it forces some people to finally start focusing on that shorter-term view.Shaw is not an easily frustrated person. He prides himself on keeping his needle close to the middle, no matter the situation. Thats why it was such a shock when he reacted so strongly to the questions following Stanfords season-opening loss to Northwestern last season and still bristles a bit when that postgame news conference is brought up. That was a total overreaction that day, he said. We ended up having a great year. So did they. But the overreaction to those things is just how it is now.So, it is asked of the man who spent nine years as an NFL assistant and grew up as the son of a career pro coach, does this feel like life in the NFL? Super Bowl or bust?A little bit, Shaw said, but certainly closer than it was.Down in Tallahassee, Florida, Jimbo Fisher rode out a three-week roller coaster that included being housed by Louisville, getting snuck up on by North Carolina and having all of the goals listed above wiped out ... all amid incessant rumors that he would be leaving to take the vacant LSU job. But Florida State came out on the other side with Saturday nights emotional, last-second win over Miami, powered by his maligned defense. How? By taking an old-school approach that Fisher has used before: the Our Locker Room versus The World approach.Fisher was extra chippy in last weeks Monday news conference, openly challenging anyone who claimed his locker room was divided. His players have echoed that defiance, including during the Miami postgame.You have to find other motivations, says ESPN analyst Mack Brown, who endured 16 years of drama as head coach at Texas and openly feels the current pain of his successor, Charlie Strong. OK, you cant win the national championship, but you can still win the conference. OK, you cant win the conference, but you can still play on New Years Day or New Years Eve. OK, we cant play on New Years, but you know what? We can beat our rival and keep them from doing any of that stuff, either. Guys, we know we are better than this. We know we are just as good as those guys. And if we cant win it all, then I sure dont want to watch them do it. Do you?Thats what Texas nearly did to Oklahoma, a playoff team, one year ago in the Red River Rivalry, and it helped soothe the scars of a disappointing 5-7 season in Austin. On Saturday, the Sooners returned serve, instantly healing the hurt of a 1-2 start that was threatening to erase all of their goals from the locker room marker board in Norman. Now, suddenly resurgent Oklahoma can still win the Big 12 and still play in one of the sports biggest bowl games.Last week, prior to the Texas win, Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops was asked if conference titles and big-ticket bowl games are no longer enough for fans of top-shelf programs, accomplishments overshadowed by missing the College Football Playoff. Probably is, he responded sharply. But those are our goals. And Ive got guys who are ready to do whatever it takes to get them done.Well said, Coach. Now lets get on with Flipping the Field.Book of Matthew:?On Saturday morning, I chatted with a group of North Carolina state troopers who were assigned to help with traffic coming in and out of the NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. All were standing in the wind gusts of Hurricane Matthew, soaked to the bone, looking exhausted and waiting to hear what their marching orders would be for the day and night. One of the troopers, a 25-year-plus veteran, said hed never seen a day like that one.Its rare when all four Tobacco Road teams have home games, but it happened on Saturday: NC State hosted Notre Dame, UNC played Virginia Tech, Duke hosted Army and Wake Forest welcomed Syracuse, the first three games overlapping. Meanwhile, there were three FCS games, four Division II games and one D-3 contest all being played across the state. There were also other small college games on Thursday and Friday night, along with high school contests scattered through the weekend in anticipation of the storm.All of this while a deadly hurricane was forcing evacuations of small towns along the coast, and a wave of displaced residents of states to the south arrived looking for shelter.We have thousands of people driving into areas for football games in the exact places where were telling people its too dangerous to leave their homes, one trooper told me. At any minute, both us and local law enforcement could get the call to bail on helping these events and go help with hurricane evacs. Thats why this is nuts.A second trooper added, I know this. Were damn glad the [Carolina] Panthers are playing Monday night and not [Sunday].Speaking of which, weather across the state was picture perfect on Sunday, during which the 500-mile NASCAR race and the one relocated Tar Heel State game -- Winston Salem State at Johnson C. Smith -- was run without a hitch.From the Ridonculous Stats Department:Arizona State kicker Zane Gonzalez is now the all-time NCAA field goals leader with 89 and still has six regular-season games remaining.Going into its game with Navy, the Houston D had allowed only 42 rushing yards per game. On Saturday, the Cougars surrendered 306.Oklahoma and Texas combined for 85 points, the most in the history of the Red River Rivalry. Oklahoma is 6-1 when the game tops 70 points. Dede Westbrook set the OU single-game receiving record with 232 yards, also a Red River Rivalry offensive record.And sure, Texas has lost three straight, but on a positive note, quarterback Shane Buechele already has more TD passes than the Horns had all of last season: 11 in five games versus nine in 2015.Michigans 78-0 win over Rutgers produced a mountain of ridonculous stats, including 600 yards of offense versus 39; 119 yards passing versus 5; 481 yards rushing versus 34; and 23 first downs versus 2. Rutgers averaged 0.3 yards per pass and 0.9 yards per rush.Speaking of Michigan:?Jabrill Peppers needs his own weekly Ridonculous Stats Department. On Saturday, he scored a pair of TDs, had a 63-yard run that set up another and had the best kick return youll evver see that was called back by a penalty.dddddddddddd So far this season, he has played 12 different positions. Hes the Jose Oquendo of college football (you kids out there can look him up), and after the rout of the Scarlet Knights, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh openly touted his player as a Heisman Trophy winner and being on the same dance floor as Jim Thorpe.Were going streaking!

After the loss to Oklahoma, the Horns head coach was asked how badly he needed to win the Red River Rivalry. His response? I need em all.Frank Reich Backup QB Of The Week Award: Will Worth, Navy. OK, yes, I know hes the starting quarterback for Navy. But hes not supposed to be. A career backup, the now-senior had the best seat in the house to watch Keenan Reynolds, the Best-Ever Navy Player Not Named Staubach, the past few seasons and was ready to settle into the same role behind Tago Smith in 2016. But Smith was lost for the year in the season opener and Worth was pressed into service. He has led Navy to a 4-1 record and pushed the Midshipmen into the improbable drivers seat in the American Athletic Conference East after Saturday afternoons upset of Houston. In that game, he rushed for a game-best 115 yards and a TD while completing 3 of 5 passes for 76 yards and 2 TDs.Comeback of the Week Award, also named for Frank Reich: Oklahoma State. If youre an Iowa State fan, you might want to skip this part. For the second week in a row, the Comeback of the Week comes at the expense of the Cyclones. During Week 5, the Baylor Bears came back from 14 down to kick a game-winning field goal as time expired. On Saturday, the Clones were up 17 and threw it into reverse, spending their next four possessions producing only 25 yards of offense and turning the ball over twice. The Pokes tossed the game-winning TD with 3:40 remaining. Over the past two weekends, with double-digit leads, Iowa State has been outscored 34-0 in the fourth quarter.The Guy You Should Know About But Probably Dont: Jake Browning, QB, Washington. Im not talking to those of you who live in Seattle or those of you whose favorite Pac-12 team has had to play the Huskies this season or those East Coasters (like me) who are addicted to #Pac12AfterDark. Im speaking to those who dont spend Sundays bleary-eyed or those who went out on Week 5s Friday night instead of watching the Stanford game.You people are missing out. And its time for you to include this sophomore on your Heisman watch lists.On Saturday night, Browning dismantled Oregon with a 22-of-38, 304-yard, 6-TD passing performance. He also rushed for 21 yards and 2 TDs. Whats more, hes an affable kid who appears to be the perfect complement to head coach Chris Petersen, which is to say they both hate being complimented. For more on the leader of 6-0 UW, read this awesome profile by my bud Ted Miller, perfectly titled Please stop telling Jake Browning how well hes playing.The Team You Should Know About But Probably Dont: South Florida. The Bulls beat East Carolina 38-22 to run their record to 5-1, their only loss coming to Florida State two week ago. USF rolled up 556 yards of offense, 5 TDs and topped 35 points for the 10th straight game.It didnt come without controversy, as ECU head coach Scottie Montgomery gave USF counterpart Willie Taggart a half-hearted postgame handshake and questioned why the Bulls attempted long passes on the final four plays of a 16-point game. Taggarts response: We want to be in attack mode. ... To take a knee for anybody, where in the rulebook does it say you have to do that?Ethics debates aside, USF is well on its way to its first back-to-back winning seasons since 2010-11, Jim Leavitts last season and Skip Holtzs first. Its a fitting tribute to the late Lee Roy Selmon, who was instrumental in starting the USF football program. The Selmon family was on hand Saturday. After a visit from UConn, the Bulls take on Temple, Navy and Memphis as they try to hang on to the AAC East division lead.The Finish You Should Know About But Probably Dont: Southeastern Louisiana 31, McNeese 24. The Southland Conference showdown was tied 24-24 with 10 seconds remaining when Lions QB Justin Alo hurled a Hail Mary downfield. The ball was nearly intercepted by cornerback Jermaine Antoine, but it slipped through his hands and was tipped into the waiting hands of wide receiver Brandon Acker, who fought off defenders to complete the 82-yard TD reception. See it for yourself here.The Game You Should Be Psyched For But Probably Arent: West Virginia at Texas Tech. Ill give you two reasons to watch: 1. West Virginia, which was off over the weekend, is 4-0 and one of 11 remaining undefeated FBS teams; 2. A pair of Air Raid scholars -- Dana Holgorsen and Kliff Kingsbury -- will be matching wits within the very kiln that the offense was forged. The final score might be 77-74.Extra Point: Lost amid the rainfall in Raleigh was NC States celebration of the 50th anniversary of Carter-Finley Stadium. It has long been one of the most underrated venues in college football, tucked into the pine trees behind the North Carolina State Fairgrounds and a place that has been updated tremendously over the past decade.For me, the celebration was personal. Carter-Finley was the stadium where I learned college football. I grew up in Raleigh as the son of an ACC official, but because we lived in town, he wasnt allowed to work Wolfpack games. So anytime the Pack held scrimmages, they would call Dad, and he would let me and my little brother tag along. We would play on The Hill while the team -- including my favorite player, future Philadelphia Eagles star receiver Mike Quick -- played below.Sometimes wed play tackle football with another group of boys, brothers who were also there with their father. One of them was never much fun, a little guy who would pitch fits and try to call penalties such as pass interference and defensive holding during a 3-on-3 game between preteens. His name was Lane Kiffin and his tears were like ...
