EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon running back Royce Freeman is listed atop the depth chart for the Ducks game Saturday against Colorado, but theres no certainty that hell play.His status is one of the questions on both sides heading into the Pac-12 opener for the two teams. Also unclear is the availability of Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau, who is a game-time decision.Freeman, who has been mentioned as a Heisman candidate this season, left in the first quarter of Oregons 35-32 loss at Nebraska last weekend with what appeared to be a lower leg injury.Freeman, who ran for more than 200 yards in the previous game, wasnt wearing a brace on his leg earlier this week after practice, but because Oregon doesnt discuss injuries as a policy, its difficult to tell. Expect Kani Benoit, Tony Brooks-James and Taj Griffin to shoulder the load if Freeman sits out.The Ducks were stung by injury news following the loss to the Huskers. Receiver Devon Allen, who ran the 110-meter hurdles in the Olympics this summer, hurt the ACL in his left knee and is out for the season.The team also confirmed this week that junior left tackle Tyrell Crosby, an NFL prospect, will miss the rest of the season because of a broken foot.Liufau was 16 of 25 for 246 yards with three TD passes against Michigan last weekend at the Big House before he left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Colorado lost 45-28.In Colorados first two games, he threw for 522 yards and three TDs with a 74.5 percent completion rate. He was the Pac-12s offensive player of the week after leading Colorado to a 44-7 win over Colorado State in the season opener.Steven Montez will take Liufaus place if he cant go.Some other things to consider when the Ducks host the Buffs on Saturday afternoon:THOSE TWO-POINT CONVERSIONS: A lot has been made about Oregons penchant for going for two points following touchdowns. The Ducks went for two on each of their TDs at Nebraska. The first one was successful, the other four werent.Coach Mark Helfrich said this week the Ducks wont reverse course anytime soon.That would be like if we throw an incompletion that were not going to throw the ball again. Thats not how were going to operate, Helfrich said. Are there things we can do fine-tuning and different? Sure.AND THE BUFFS WILL BE READY: Colorado has been practicing for those two-point attempts if they happen.Theyve got a lot of different formations. We need to line up correctly and stop it, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. Sometimes theyre not worried about what youre going to line up in, theyre going to run it anyway; sometimes they look to see what youre in, if youre lined up properly. If youre not lined up properly they run it and score easily. Weve got to be prepared for that; they do a good job at it.IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK: This week for the new uniform Oregon is actually trying to look like, well, the Duck. Oregons mascot wears a green jersey, so Oregon will don the same with white pants and orange socks and shoes. The facemask of the helmet will also be orange.The motto Once A Duck, Always A Duck is embroidered on the neck of the jersey .There was just a hint of a gasp from Oregon fans on social media that the new unis included orange -- a predominant color for rival Oregon State.NOT TO BE OUTDONE: The Buffaloes will wear all-white uniforms on the road at Autzen Stadium. It is the first time this season the Buffs will wear head-to-toe white, a look that the team introduced last season.THE SERIES: Oregon has won all Pac-12 meetings against the Buffaloes since they joined the league. Overall, the Ducks lead the series 12-8, and theyve won the last four in Eugene. Steve Young Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Patrick Willis Jersey . Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said. http://www.cheap49ersjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-frank-gore-jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Jerry Rice Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. Y.A. Tittle Jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants arent getting too excited after opening the season with a win for the first time since 2010.Its one game and all they did was beat a Dallas Cowboys team that was playing with a rookie at quarterback.Winning the second one might say a lot more about Ben McAdoos team. The Giants face the New Orleans Saints (0-1) in their home opener on Sunday, and that means finding a way to stop Drew Brees.The Giants were shredded by the Saints veteran quarterback last season in a 52-49 loss. Brees completed 40 of 50 passes for 511 yards and seven touchdowns. The yardage total was the most against New York and the TD total tied the highest in an NFL game.Drew Brees, its crazy how he is getting better every year, said Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who played with Brees on the Saints.He is still throwing for 5,000 yards like he is a young kid out there. He looks like he is having fun, like he always has been doing. Its going to be interesting this week.The Giants revamped defense did enough to beat Dak Prescott in his first start. While it gave up yards and allowed Dallas to keep the ball for long periods of time, the Cowboys only scored one touchdown and settled for four field goals in New Yorks 20-19 win.Casillas said the Giants did nothing right in the loss to the Saints in New Orleans last season.We werent good at all in any phase or in any part of the game, he said. We didnt tackle that great, we blew coverages, we let people run free. You want me to keep going?It just wasnt a good showing. It was one of those games you look back and you just dont watch the film because you are disgusted by it.The positive for the Giants is that Brees is going to be seeing a much different defense.New York signed defensive end Olivier Vernon, tackle Damon Harrison, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and middle linebacker Kelvin Sheppard as free agents and drafted cornerback Eli Apple and safety Darian Thompson in the first and third rounds, respectively.The Saints offense also will be seeing Jason Pierre-Paul this seaason.ddddddddddddHe missed the first eight games of last season after injuring his right hand in a fireworks accident. The last game he missed was the Saints game.The new unit did an outstanding job of limiting the Dallas running game, but it did not get much pressure on Prescott.Casillas, who led the Giants with 10 tackles, felt the defense was resilient last week and it never felt it was going to lose the game.We are in no place to be content, Casillas said. What happened at the end of the day, we beat a rookie quarterback in his first game. That should happen more times than not.Brees will grind up the Giants again if they are not in the right spots, Casillas said.Drews intangibles are immeasurable, Casillas said. He is unbelievable. He is not that tall, but he gets the ball down the field and gets the ball to the guys he needs to.He doesnt play small. He plays big, like a big tough guy all the time. He is always bound to make that perfect pass, that perfect play. He is such a cerebral player. He has full control over his offense. No one operates like him.Eli Manning had a pretty good game in the loss, throwing for 350 yards and six touchdowns.It was a wild game, Manning said. Its fun to play in those games. You feel offensively you can score most times you get it and you feel you have to score most times you get it. Its fun scoring touchdowns and having a lot of excitement but obviously you would like to get the W, it would mean a little more.Game notes Backup G-C Brett Jones lined up in a fullback position for a couple of plays on Sunday. The Canadian had never done that before. He laughed when asked about carrying the ball. As an offensive lineman you always want to carry the ball. Definitely, it would be cool. ...
