STANFORD, Calif. -- Running back Christian McCaffrey status for Stanfords game against Notre Dame may not be clear until Saturday morning, coach David Shaw said Tuesday.Last years Heisman Trophy runner-up did not play most of the second half of last Saturdays 42-16 loss to Washington State.He got banged up over the course of the game and it didnt make sense to put him back in, Shaw said. We will be cautious with him as with everybody else. I will have no answer until Friday or maybe Saturday.Stanford (3-2) plays at Notre Dame (2-4) on Saturday.After rushing for 436 yards over his first three games, all victories, the junior has been limited to 84 total rushing yards over his last two games, both losses.McCaffrey averages 188.2 all-purpose yards, third in the FBS. But he has not scored a touchdown since Week 2 and has just three on the season.Stanford averaged 2.3 yards per rushing attempt against the Cougars and McCaffreys 35 yards were his fewest since gaining 19 against California two years ago.There are a few things we need to clean up to give our running backs a clear running lane, Cardinal lineman David Bright said. We havent been the best offensive line in protecting the passer either. Weve stressed being an efficient offense on first and second downs.Shaw called the play of the offensive line spotty at best, though he did not put the entire blame on that unit.We have been inconsistent one through 11, Shaw said. It looks like the offensive line because we didnt run with any efficiency early in the game and because of the sacks. We all have a hand in it.Game notes WR Francis Owusu, who sustained a concussion against UCLA, needs to pass one final test before hes cleared. ...

Nike NFL Jerseys China .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.BOSTON -- Boston ace Clay Buchholz could easily joke about his fielding night with the start hes off to this season. David Ortiz rebounded from a rough first game with a long two-run homer and drove in three runs to help Buchholz improve to 9-0, earning the Red Sox a split of a day-night doubleheader with a 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Buchholz gave up two runs on six hits, striking out four and walking one over 6 2-3 innings to match Arizonas Patrick Corbin (9-0) as the majors only unbeaten pitcher with at least nine wins, but he left in the seventh with what the team called "neck tightness." It was quite a fielding night for Bostons ace. Howie Kendrick hit a hard grounder off Buchholzs glove in the sixth. It bounced behind the mound and he dropped his glove and raced toward the ball, but Kendrick beat it out. "I think that ball knocked my glove off," he said, adding that when he spun and threw to first he irritated his neck. "It was a little nagging for a couple of innings, right after that ball hit off my glove and I threw to first, it bothered me." Buchholz had another adventure fielding a grounder. In the fourth, Alberto Callaspo hit a high chop toward first, the pitcher got under it, but misplayed it before grabbing it and, while lying on the ground, reached to tag Callaspo before he reached the bag. "I told Salty (catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia) it was the most un-athletic, athletic play Ive ever made," he said. Boston manager John Farrell didnt think the neck problem was anything serious. Buchholz didnt either. Buchholz missed a start last month with an irritation in his collarbone area. The victory snapped Bostons nine-game losing streak against Los Angeles. "We played a good game the first game and this game we didnt do what we needed to do," Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. "I dont know about feeling satisfied. You want to pour your heart into every game and when you dont win, youre disappointed." Ortiz went 0 for 5, struck out twice and stranded six runners in the Red Sox 9-5 loss in the opener. In the first game, Mark Trumbo and Erick Aybar each drove in two runs as the Angels beat the Red Sox for their team-record sixth straight win at Fenway Park. With Boston leading the nightcap 4-2 in the sixth, Dustin Pedroia had an RBI single off reliever Jerome Williams before Ortiz hit a deep homer into the right-field seats, about 20 rows up into the corner. He stood and admired the balls flight before slowly rounding the bases. The Red Sox jumped ahead 2-0 against C.J. Wilson (4-5) with two runs in the first on consecutive RBI doubles by Jonny Gomes and Pedroia. Ortizs RBI double made it 3-0 in the second. After Mike Trouts run-scoring single cut it to 3-1, Boston added an unearned run in the fifth on David Ross RBI single after Mike Napoli reached on an infield hit and advanced on the same play when third baseman Callaspo bounced the throw past first for an error. Wilson gave up four runs -- three earned -- on eight hits, walking three and striking out five in five innings.dddddddddddd In the opener, Tommy Hanson (3-2) allowed two runs in five innings for the win, striking out Ortiz twice and getting him to ground out weakly with two runners on in all three at-bats. "The first at-bat he didnt look very good on the breaking ball. I felt like I threw him a really good one," Hanson said. "Same with the second at-bat. That third time around with the tying run on third, Id rather face Ortiz in that situation than Pedroia, who hit two line drives on me. I threw him a first-pitch slider and he grounded out, which worked out for me." The Angels built a big lead when reliever Franklin Morales walked three straight batters and allowed four runs in the seventh inning, making it 7-2. "I felt like it was an opportunity to get him some work in advance of a potential spot start next week," Farrell said. "Then, obviously, we saw what happened in the seventh inning -- lost the strike zone as we got deeper into (the inning) and that ended up being the difference in todays game." Trout added a pair of doubles high off the Green Monster and collected three hits for the Angels. The Angels went 6-0 overall against the Red Sox last season. Los Angeles won its ninth consecutive game against Boston in the clubs first meeting this year. The game was a makeup from Friday nights rainout. Mike Carp had a solo homer, three hits and drove in two runs for Boston. Daniel Nava added three hits. Felix Doubront (4-3) gave up three runs and six hits over six innings. The Red Sox stranded eight runners in the first four innings-- two in each -- and 14 overall. Boston made it closer by scoring three runs with two outs in the ninth. Ernesto Frieri struck out Jacoby Ellsbury with runners on first and third for his 14th save. Los Angeles held a 3-2 lead until Morales wildness in the seventh. Trumbo had an RBI double before the left-hander threw nine consecutive balls to end his appearance and force home the final two runs. Clayton Mortensen relieved and allowed Aybars infield hit that made it 7-2 before J.B. Shuck hit a flyball for his second out of the inning to end it.
