LOS ANGELES -- Coach Jim Mora began his fifth season at UCLA with plans to contend for the Pac-12 and national titles behind a run-based offense built to grind out hundreds of yards on the ground.Seven games in, Mora would settle for even three yards and a cloud of dust.The Bruins utter inability to run the ball is among the biggest mysteries of the Pac-12 season. After managing 43 yards rushing in a 27-21 loss at Washington State last week, UCLA (3-4, 1/3 Pac-12) ranks 126th out of 128 FBS teams with 91.1 yards rushing per game and a comically low 2.8 yards per carry.Hopefully weve come to a point where we can get it fixed, but its an obvious understatement to say its not acceptable and that it hasnt been good, Mora said. Its as bad as Ive ever seen. Thats our issue. It all comes down to that.Only Texas State and Georgia State have managed fewer yards per game on the ground than the Bruins, who are off to the worst start of Moras half-decade in Westwood after three losses in the Bruins last four games. Last weekend in Pullman, the preseason favorites to win the Pac-12 South posted a measly 1.7 yards per carry, providing no help for backup quarterback Mike Fafaul in the rain.These rushing struggles dont make sense on paper for the Bruins, who entered this season with a specific mandate from Mora to run the ball aggressively. UCLAs new offensive coordinator, running backs guru Kennedy Polamalu, has three talented ball-carriers -- Soso Jamabo, Nate Starks and Bolu Olorunfunmi -- running behind a fairly experienced offensive line.Instead, UCLAs line has been bossed around almost every week, and none of the three tailbacks has seized the job left by Pac-12 rushing champion Paul Perkins. The struggles have completely derailed the Bruins season, putting even bowl eligibility in jeopardy -- a shock for a team led by touted quarterback Josh Rosen, who missed last weeks game with an injury.Theres really one issue that weve had, that is something we havent been able to fix yet, and thats our run game, Mora said. Were playing good defense. Were throwing the ball well, but were not running it well, and when you cant run it, its tough to do anything consistent on offense.With No. 19 Utah (6-1, 3-1) bringing one of the nations best defensive lines to the Rose Bowl on Saturday, UCLAs problem doesnt seem likely to go away immediately. But after using zone-blocking strategies last week to no effect, Moras staff is making even more changes this week to the Bruins rushing attack this week, streamlining its concepts and rethinking certain unnamed strategies.Were simplifying the task, Polamalu said.When Polamalu replaced Noel Mazzone as the Bruins offensive coordinator and play-caller in the offseason, he intended to implement a complex power-running offense. While he hasnt given up, Polamalu notes that the Bruins current offensive line was recruited to block for Mazzones high-tempo passing offense.Its not that theyre not running hard, Polamalu said. Its a scheme, and technique, and those things are what were improving on and teaching every day. I told the guys, `Just work on the little things and dont worry about tomorrow.Even with a late-season surge, the Bruins probably have wasted the sophomore season of Rosen, one of the nations most promising quarterbacks. Mora hopes Rosen will return from injury this weekend, but the coach acknowledges his offense must figure out its running game to have a prayer.I feel like Ive let people down by not being able to get it going, Mora said. But Ive also been in these situations before, many, many times, coached a lot of football games, and theres not always an immediate fix. You have to work through it to find a way. I know its frustrating for our fans. Believe me, its equally frustrating for us.

Nike Air Max 1 Scontate .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. CALGARY, Alberta -- A week ago at this time things were looking bleak for the Calgary Flames.Following a 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Blues at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Oct. 22, the Flames had a 1-4-1 record heading into a two-game road trip to Chicago to play the Blackhawks and to St. Louis for a rematch against the Blues.Thanks to timely scoring and solid goaltending from Brian Elliott, the Flames edged the Blackhawks 3-2 in a shootout before beating the Blues 4-1 and returning home to down the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Friday.I think just recognizing who we are, said Elliott in regard to how the Flames found their rhythm after a woeful start to their season. I think at the start of the year we didnt really know what kind of team we were and how to play effectively. Now guys are really buying into what we need to do and its the little things.The Flames look to stretch their winning streak to four straight games when they host the Washington Capitals (4-2-1) on Sunday night.Left winger Michael Frolik, whos tied for the team goal-scoring lead with center Sean Monahan at four, said players talked about not changing anything during their winning streak.Thats what we said in the room too, Frolik said. We dont need to change anything. We just need to stick to the plan. Thats what we did. We could tell ourselves its working. We just needed to stick with it and build on that and keep it going.One area of concern for Flames coach Glen Gulutzan is the lack of discipline his team showed against the Senators. Rookie left winger Matthew Tkatchuk and center Sam Bennett took back-to-back offensive zone penalties in the first period that both led to power-play goals foor the Senators.ddddddddddddWeve got to stop taking stupid penalties. Its not an epidemic yet, but its a concern and were going to nip it, said Gulutzan, who wasnt pleased with his teams effort Friday despite the three-goal victory. It wasnt our best game. Weve got to find a way to be better at home. Starting our games, especially, and a good push.The Flames also look to have a quick start against the road-weary Capitals, who will be playing their third straight road game and second in as many nights.Left winger Marcus Johansson had two goals and an assist Saturday night in Vancouver to lead the Capitals to a 5-2 victory over the Canucks.When we got the puck deep, I think we showed what we can do, Johansson told reporters after the game. We created a lot of chances and we make it tough for the other team. It was a good game for us and we need to carry that to the next one.Right wingers Tom Wilson and T.J. Oshie and defenseman Karl Alzner also scored for the Capitals, who ended their two-game losing streak.Goalie Philipp Grubauer stopped 23 of 25 shots he faced against the Canucks to improve his record to 2-0, but reigning Vezina Trophy winner Braden Holtby will be back in between the pipes for Washington on Sunday.We need a goalie so Ive got to use one in each game, said Washington coach Barry Trotz of why
