EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon running back Royce Freeman is listed atop the depth chart for the Ducks game Saturday against Colorado, but theres no certainty that hell play.His status is one of the questions on both sides heading into the Pac-12 opener for the two teams. Also unclear is the availability of Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau, who is a game-time decision.Freeman, who has been mentioned as a Heisman candidate this season, left in the first quarter of Oregons 35-32 loss at Nebraska last weekend with what appeared to be a lower leg injury.Freeman, who ran for more than 200 yards in the previous game, wasnt wearing a brace on his leg earlier this week after practice, but because Oregon doesnt discuss injuries as a policy, its difficult to tell. Expect Kani Benoit, Tony Brooks-James and Taj Griffin to shoulder the load if Freeman sits out.The Ducks were stung by injury news following the loss to the Huskers. Receiver Devon Allen, who ran the 110-meter hurdles in the Olympics this summer, hurt the ACL in his left knee and is out for the season.The team also confirmed this week that junior left tackle Tyrell Crosby, an NFL prospect, will miss the rest of the season because of a broken foot.Liufau was 16 of 25 for 246 yards with three TD passes against Michigan last weekend at the Big House before he left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Colorado lost 45-28.In Colorados first two games, he threw for 522 yards and three TDs with a 74.5 percent completion rate. He was the Pac-12s offensive player of the week after leading Colorado to a 44-7 win over Colorado State in the season opener.Steven Montez will take Liufaus place if he cant go.Some other things to consider when the Ducks host the Buffs on Saturday afternoon:THOSE TWO-POINT CONVERSIONS: A lot has been made about Oregons penchant for going for two points following touchdowns. The Ducks went for two on each of their TDs at Nebraska. The first one was successful, the other four werent.Coach Mark Helfrich said this week the Ducks wont reverse course anytime soon.That would be like if we throw an incompletion that were not going to throw the ball again. Thats not how were going to operate, Helfrich said. Are there things we can do fine-tuning and different? Sure.AND THE BUFFS WILL BE READY: Colorado has been practicing for those two-point attempts if they happen.Theyve got a lot of different formations. We need to line up correctly and stop it, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. Sometimes theyre not worried about what youre going to line up in, theyre going to run it anyway; sometimes they look to see what youre in, if youre lined up properly. If youre not lined up properly they run it and score easily. Weve got to be prepared for that; they do a good job at it.IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK: This week for the new uniform Oregon is actually trying to look like, well, the Duck. Oregons mascot wears a green jersey, so Oregon will don the same with white pants and orange socks and shoes. The facemask of the helmet will also be orange.The motto Once A Duck, Always A Duck is embroidered on the neck of the jersey .There was just a hint of a gasp from Oregon fans on social media that the new unis included orange -- a predominant color for rival Oregon State.NOT TO BE OUTDONE: The Buffaloes will wear all-white uniforms on the road at Autzen Stadium. It is the first time this season the Buffs will wear head-to-toe white, a look that the team introduced last season.THE SERIES: Oregon has won all Pac-12 meetings against the Buffaloes since they joined the league. Overall, the Ducks lead the series 12-8, and theyve won the last four in Eugene. San Francisco Giants Gear .

BALTIMORE -- Getting off to the worst start in franchise history is one thing.Being historically bad on a grand scale is quite another, and the winless Cleveland Browns now have only six games left to avoid that kind of infamy.Facing the team that once called Cleveland home, this Browns team stayed competitive for a half before falling 28-7 to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.That left the Browns at 0-10, their worst start to a season since Cleveland joined the NFL in 1950.It cant get much worse than that, can it? Well, perhaps. Because the Browns are now staring at one of the most dubious set of numbers in NFL history: 0-16.The 2008 Detroit Lions are the only team in NFL history that went winless over a 16-game schedule. And now the Browns are hot on their trail.The mindset is you have to stay positive, 10-year offensive tackle Joe Thomas said. Were going to have to try to find a way to get a win here.It appeared the Browns had a shot in this one after they took a 7-3 lead in the second quarter and were still ahead 7-6 at halftime -- despite starting the game with a timeout on the first play from scrimmage because there were 12 men on the field.The second half was littered with turnovers and sacks, along with another quarterback change. Josh McCown proved to bbe even worse than starter Cody Kessler, and the result was another lopsided loss.ddddddddddddCleveland has gone through six different quarterbacks this season. On this night, neither the starter nor his replacement could put a dent in the Baltimore defense.I know I made the statement before about playing musical chairs. I wasnt playing musical chairs today, coach Hue Jackson insisted. I was trying to give our offense a chance to function at a fast rate. ... Thats the decision I thought I needed to make and I made it. I dont regret it at all.The Browns have made the playoffs only once since the team rebooted in 1995 after the original franchise moved to Baltimore and left the records behind.This team, however, is the worst of them all.Its tough, theres no way around it, McCown said. When you go through something like this. Nobody expects things to go this way. It can get heavy but the group in there, the way theyre fighting and the way they come to work every day, those are the things we can draw on.It sure would be a lot easier to go to work with a victory to talk about.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
