Karl Malone Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. http://www.jazzauthentic.com/kids-tony-bradley-jazz-jersey/ . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Pete Maravich Jazz Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Dante Exum Jazz Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Washington is back in a lofty position in the polls. But the 10th-ranked Huskies staying power will be tested Friday night.Washington will play host to No. 7 Stanford on Friday night at 9 p.m. ET in the first matchup of top 10 teams at Husky Stadium in 19 years. The outcome could go a long way in determining the Pac-12 North and which team moves on as the leagues favorite to get to the College Football Playoff.Its awesome, no question about it, said Washington coach Chris Petersen.Stanfords an awesome program. Ill start with that -- program. This isnt just an awesome team. Theyve had an awesome program here for a while now. They know how to do it right and play good football, win championships. So its a great opportunity for the kids, and for everybody playing in a game like this.The Huskies (4-0 overall, 1-0 Pac-12) played a soft non-conference slate of Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State before surviving a road game at Arizona, 35-28 in overtime Saturday night. Stanford (3-0, 2-0) is much more battle-tested, having defeated Kansas State, USC and UCLA.The Cardinal, too, was taken to the brink last week, scoring a go-ahead touchdown with 24 seconds left and adding a fumble return for a score on the final play in a 22-13 victory at the Rose Bowl. Coach David Shaw was pleased how new starting quarterback Ryan Burns reacted to the do-or-die final drive after struggling for much of the game.There is no substituting the environment he was in, Shaw said after Mondays practice. Not playing a great game ... and coming back with a chance to win at the end of the game, you cant duplicate that.And you cant duplicate what were going to face this week: Top 10 opponent, in their house. Its going to be loud. Youre not going to be able to hear a thing. I think that environment, you dont know how youre going to respond until youre in it.Stanford has won 15 of its past 16 games and has tied a school-record by winning seven consecutive Pac-12 road games. The Cardinal has won three of the past four conference championships.Stanford also has won seven of the past eight meetings against Washington, including 31-14 last season. Cardinal star running back Christian McCaffrey gained 109 rushing yards and 112 receiving yards, including a 50-yardd touchdown, in that game.ddddddddddddMcCaffrey, by his standards, had an abnormally quiet game last week with 138 rushing yards and no touchdowns against UCLA. But Washington yielded 308 rushing yards in its overtime win over Arizona, including 173 to quarterback Brandon Dawkins.The Huskies defense, led by safety Budda Baker, cornerback Sidney Jones and linebacker Azeem Victor, is tied for the national lead with 13 takeaways. They are 15th in scoring defense, allowing 14.5 points per game.The Stanford defense, fueled by defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, is allowing 12.0 points per game against a tougher schedule.Washington quarterback Jake Browning is third nationally in passing efficiency (194.9), with 14 touchdown passes and two interceptions. He didnt play in last seasons loss to Stanford because of injury.Shaw said he is worried about Washingtons offensive speed, which includes receiver John Ross, tailback Myles Gaskin and tailback Lavon Coleman, who was an unlikely hero with a career-best 181 yards against Arizona.Speed everywhere, Shaw said. Their running backs have speed. Their receivers have speed. It used to be that you had to worry about that No. 1 guy (Ross) running by you. Now its a bunch of guys.Stanford likely has more speed that it gets credit for, as McCaffrey is not the only weapon on offense. Wide receiver Michael Rector has 4.4 speed, receiver Trenton Irwin had a team-high seven catches last week against UCLA and backup running back Bryce Love had five carries for 51 yards. He has been working his way back from injury and should be close to 100 percent this week, Shaw said.The Cardinal wont have receiver Francis Owusu, who suffered a concussion last week.This will be the first top 10 matchup in Seattle since No. 7 Nebraska beat the No. 2 Huskies 27-14 in 1997. Washington, earlier this month, reached the top 10 for the first time since Nov. 4, 2001.Are the Huskies all the way back?Fridays spotlight game will begin to really tell the tale.I just want everyone to enjoy college football and be all in, Petersen said. Players all in, fans all in, coaches, everybody ... all in. ' ' '
