CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- For three quarters at Nebraska last week, Illinois looked like the winner.But the team couldnt finish in the fourth quarter of the 31-16 loss. Its something Illini coach Lovie Smith said his team is still learning how to do, and he hopes can do Saturday against Purdue.Yeah, we were wore down a little bit, Smith said. Were making game improvements, just not that 60 minutes yet.The Illini (1-3, 0-1 Big Ten) dont face quite the same test in the Boilermakers that they did against No. 12 Nebraska. Purdue (2-2, 0-1) is coming to Illinois after a 50-7 conference-opening loss to Maryland. The Boilermakers were down 29-0 at halftime and gave up 400 rushing yards.Boilermaker coach Darrell Hazell acknowledged during the week that pressure is building on him and his team. And he defended at least part of his defenses effort.As crazy as that sounds, they were playing good defense to create plays, creating sacks, and then all of a sudden, bang, a big one would hit us for 50-plus yards, he said.Some things to watch for Saturday as two of the three teams at the bottom of the Big Ten West (Minnesota is the third) match up in Champaign:WHATS AT STAKEA win moves one of these two out of the Big Ten West cellar. Both teams have to look at this as one of the more winnable contests on their schedules, and a must if either has hope of getting to six wins and bowl eligibility.

Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said he was adapting to the personnel he has.But McGee also pushed for changes in Lunt, saying the quarterback needed to do whatever it takes to win, including running. Lunt almost never runs. His career high is 5 yards in the Nebraska game.McGee guessed that somewhere along the line Lunt was told he isnt a runner, something the senior quarterback said was essentially right.I think just kind of growing up and playing, Ive never been told to run. I was basically kind of labeled as a passer, Lunt said.KEY MATCHUPPurdue quarterback David Blough is second in the Big Ten in passing yards at 269.5 a game, and he doesnt take many sacks. The Boilermakers have allowed just seven sacks in four games. Purdues pass protection should be tested by the Illini, who are third in the Big Ten with 13 sacks. Carrol Phillips, who leads Illinois with four sacks, left the Nebraska game with a knee injury. Smith this week would only say it isnt long term.ON THE GROUNDIllinois moved redshirt freshman Reggie Corbin to a starting running back role against Nebraska and he responded with nine carries for 72 yards. But the man he replaced might like his chances against Purdue. KeShawn Vaughn had a big day in Illinois 48-14 win last season over the Boilermakers, carrying the ball 16 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns.PURDUE GROUND GAMEWhile the Boilermakers have a habit of giving up big rushing yards, theyve found the going tough when they have the ball. Purdue had just 10 yards rushing against Maryland and is averaging 135 yards a game on the ground.---Follow David Mercer on Twitter: (at)davidmercerAP---Online: Associated Press college football coverage: http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Wholesale Nike Air Max 95 . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Golf formally returned to the Olympics on Thursday, on a course that saw its construction threatened by lawsuits aimed at protecting the nature preserve on which it was built.The first official Olympic golf shot in 112 years was struck by Brazils Adilson da Silva to open the round, and plenty of his countrymen were on the course as fans. It came about a year after the last of the hassles that included environmental lawsuits, land ownership disputes and doubts it even needed to be built in the first place.The course is good, said Canadas Graham Delaet, who shot 66 and is tied for second, three shots back of early leader Marcus Fraser of Australia. I think it exceeded everyones expectations.Plenty of native wildlife has remained on the course even after construction, including capybara (a large rodent), caiman (small crocodile) and corujas (burrowing owls). The animals, the owls especially, were particularly visible in the practice rounds earlier this week, when there were considerably fewer people on the course.Fans being on the course Thursday mayy have sent some of the animals seeking cover.ddddddddddddI imagine people in Brazil think it is funny that we go oogling over something that is a little more normal to them, said U.S. golfer Matt Kuchar, who shot 69 and finished the day tied for 11th in the 60-man field, six shots off Frasers pace.Games organizers and city officials have consistently defended the construction of the course, which they hope will spark growth of the game in Brazil. The course also features newly built luxury apartments, which further raised the ire of those groups who objected to the construction in the first place.Plans call for the course to be public for at least 20 years. Rio has a small number of private golf clubs as well.The course took three years to build, and problems werent limited to the courtrooms. Gil Hanse, the American who designed the course, complained early in the project he wasnt getting paid by the developer and hinted at pulling out. ' ' '
