Pictures show ‘Turkish President talking man out of jumping off bridge’
The man had come to Istanbul from the eastern city of Siirt and was experiencing severe depression, Turkish news reports said. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office says Erdogan has talked a man out of jumping off a bridge.

“That’s the offense”, Banker said regarding UCLA’s penchant for finding favorable matchups. The Bruins will try to find and exploit favorable matchups, a key part of their offense. The Cornhuskers excelled at stopping the run but have been picked apart plenty by opposing passers. “As the game progresses, what they’ll do is you’ll see them stop the cadence and look to the sideline so that somebody up above that’s seeing the configuration can then get them in the right call”, Banker said.

INJURY UPDATE: UCLA – LBs Myles Jack and Josh Woods, WRs Mossi Johnson and Tyler Scott, DB Fabian Moreau, and DL Eddie Vanderdoes are out.


25 die in Saudi hospital fire
Al Riyadh daily quoted a Civil Defence spokesman as saying that the agency was alerted of the fire at 2am (2300 GMT Wednesday). Jazan is near the border with Yemen, which has seen months of fighting between Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed forces.

The Nebraska football team enjoyed the Christmas holiday in the Bay Area with a full day of activity both on and off the field. This season he caught a career-high 75 passes and led the Bruins with 1,068 yards…. Linebacker Jayon Brown ranks sixth in the Pac-12 with 8.0 tackles per game, while fellow linebacker Aaron Wallace is ninth with 12.0 tackles for loss.

Banker was asked if the Huskers have seen a similar offense to UCLA this season, and said the Bruins’ offensive attack is similar to that of Northwestern, with one big difference. If not, the play-calling will be a collaborative effort, Mora said.

So from a pure quality perspective, you could say that of the batch of 5-7 teams, Nebraska was as deserving of a bowl bid as any. Bruins have won 11 straight nonconference games…. It will be an honor to get to play UCLA.

Going into the 2015 season, there were two questions facing UCLA football: who would replace Randy Hundley at quarterback and would Sean “P. Diddy” Combs be charged for swinging a kettlebell at members of the UCLA strength and conditioning staff in June?

Rushing yards this season for junior running back Paul Perkins (24). Armstrong has had time to throw this year as Nebraska ranks 12th nationally in allowing just 1.08 sacks per game. Banker, formerly of Oregon State, said UCLA and Stanford are the two most-stringent academic schools in the Pac-12.

Good news about player availability for the Huskers in the Foster Farms Bowl against UCLA. Nebraska is 5-7. UCLA stumbled home at 8-4 after losing to USC. “I think that’s where he’s really improved is his blocking, being real physical in there”.

Though this has been a bit of a trying season, it has been an absolute joy to write these articles again.

What are your impressions of quarterback Josh Rosen? He netted 820 yards on the year for an average of 68.3 yards per game.

“No, he is not your average freshman”. It’s unclear to me who “wants this game more”. And he’s also shown the ability to run. A lot of times he’s a mismatch for defenders. What’s the reason behind that? Though he has been with the program two years and knows how this team operates, how much control will he actually have?

That defensive line could give Nebraska all sorts of issues. The loss of those three guys has been critical. We have had a roller coaster season, but we have gotten better as the season has gone along. “That’s been a weakness of theirs”.
