TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabamas running game has continued to roll along with considerable help from a running quarterback and a couple of freshmen backs.If starting tailback Damien Harris cant return from a sprained right ankle, freshmen Joshua Jacobs and B.J. Emmons could play even bigger roles for the top-ranked Crimson Tide Saturday night against Kentucky.Alabama coach Nick Saban said Monday that Harris remains day to day after going down on the opening series against Kent State.Its nice knowing that if somebody like that was to go down, we have guys back there that can execute and do a really good job for us, Tide guard Ross Piersbacher said. It makes it fun for us to see those guys step up and play on a big stage like this and have that success.Harris has been the clear leader in the backfield, averaging 8.6 yards per carry and breaking long runs against USC and Mississippi. More surprising has been the pecking order behind him.Bo Scarbrough so far appears to have been passed up by Jacobs, the most lightly recruited of the group. Jacobs, not Scarbrough, was the guy who replaced Harris against Kent State and ran for 97 yards and his first two career touchdowns. Fellow freshman B.J. Emmons also has more rushing yards than Scarbrough, who sustained a bruised thigh against Kent State.The Tide had to replace the Heisman Trophy-winning Derrick Henry, who gobbled up most of the carries. Backup Kenyan Drake and Henry are both in the NFL.None of the returning backs had much experience but `Bama is still productive on the ground. Alabama ranks second in the Southeastern Conference in rushing, partly because Hurts is such a threat. The freshman quarterback is second on the team with 251 yards and has run for three touchdowns.Experience not talent was the big question mark facing the Tide backfield.Harris, Scarbrough and Emmons were each among the nations top running back prospects in their respective recruiting classes.I already knew once they got their chance or opportunity, they were going to play fast and hard, Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley said. Weve got great backs, all of them.Jacobs has made the most surprising ascent up the depth chart.The 5-foot-10, 204-pounder didnt get much interest from major college programs initially despite averaging 15.1 yards per carry and racking up 2,704 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior at McLain High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Alabama wanted to sign another running back to build depth after losing Henry and Drake.We found Josh a little late in recruiting but we were happy that we were able to get him, Saban said. We were very impressed with him. Typically a guy that shows great maturity and understanding and is very instinctive as a football player, I think it shows up in his play and how he plays, and its certainly showed up in how hes developed to be able to play.Game notes Defensive back Tony Brown is eligible again after serving an NCAA suspension for the first four games, and being held out of the final two last season. The former five-star recruit is a special teams standout. In the secondary, hes going to add a whole lot of depth that we need just in case somebody goes down or whatever, cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick said. ... Receivers ArDarius Stewart and Robert Foster are both questionable with knee injuries, Saban said.

Air Max Schoenen Sale .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Canucks didnt have much success when trailing after two periods last season.In 2016-17, theyre already 2 for 2.Brandon Sutter scored 32 seconds into overtime and Vancouver erased a three-goal deficit to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Sunday night.Sutter, who buried the only shootout goal in Saturdays 2-1 victory over Calgary, grabbed the puck in his own zone and got a step on a defender before beating Eddie Lack on a quick shot for his first of the season over the blocker on a 2-on-1 rush for the Canucks second straight comeback win.Mr. Clutch finishes it off again, said Vancouver defenseman Ben Hutton, who tied the game with under 6 minutes to go in regulation.The Canucks were 3-30-1 when down after two periods in 2015-16, but already have two wins under those circumstances early this season after tying Saturdays game with the Flames late in the third.To come from behind twice like that in our own rink is big, something that we didnt do very well last year, Sutter said. It seemed like those close games at the start of the year last year, we ended up losing in overtime and shootouts.Markus Granlund had a goal and an assist and Bo Horvat also scored for Vancouver, which got 19 stops from Jacob Markstrom. Sutter added an assist.Justin Faulk had a goal and an assist, while Victor Rask and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for Carolina. Lack made 27 saves against his former team.The Hurricanes were coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to Winnipeg on Thursday in which they blew a 4-1 third-period lead.Its not good. Its obviously something we are going to have to address, Lack said. If were going to make the playoffs we cant do that.Vancouver trailed 3-1 after two periods, but cut the deficit just 1:11 into the third when Granlund finished a nice passing play with Sutter and Jannik Hansen for his first of the season after Faulk turned the puck over in his own zone.The Canucks continued to press and Hutton tied the game with 5:50 left in regulation when he buried his first from the slot past Lack, a fan favorite during his two seasons in Vancouver before he was traded to Carolina following the 2014-15 season.ddddddddddddLack stood strong during a late Vancouver power play, including a great stop on Sven Baertschi in front and then another on Granlund with about a minute left in regulation.Carolina led 2-0 after scoring goals 1:24 apart late in the opening period, and stretched that lead at 5:28 of the second when Faulk took advantage of some soft defensive play to bury his own rebound past Markstrom off the rush for his first of the season.Vancouver started to play better as the second period wore on, and Horvat scored his first with 7:57 left after taking a rebound off the end boards and making a strong move to the net on the backhand.Lack, who lost his only start against Vancouver last season, was called upon to make a couple of big saves to keep the Hurricanes up by two through 40 minutes, including a great pad stop on a slick deflection by Loui Eriksson.Vancouver had a number of early chances and held an 8-1 shot advantage 10 minutes into the game before the visitors found their legs.Rask scored his second goal of the season with 2:24 left in the period after working a give and go with Lee Stempniak, roofing a perfect shot into the top corner.The Hurricanes then doubled their lead on the power play with 49.7 seconds remaining when Teravainen, who was acquired from Chicago in an offseason trade, picked up a loose puck after Faulks point shot was blocked and swept his first of the year past Markstrom.UP NEXTCanucks: Continue a four-game homestand Tuesday night against St. Louis.Hurricanes: Play their third of six straight on the road to start the season Tuesday night in Edmonton.
