LINCOLN, Neb. -- UCLAs emotional week ended with the Bruins making the biggest comeback by a visitor to Lincoln in nearly a century. Brett Hundley threw three touchdown passes while No. 16 UCLA wiped out an 18-point deficit to defeat No. 23 Nebraska 41-21 and stun into silence a record crowd of 91,471 on Saturday. The win came six days after UCLA receiver Nick Pasquale was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while he was walking in his hometown and a day before coaches and teammates travel to San Clemente, Calif., for his memorial service. "You cant believe how tough it was on them," Bruins coach Jim Mora said. "You never want to say you won one for somebody. We didnt win one for Nick. What we tried to do today is go out and play with the type or energy, enthusiasm and passion for the game that would reflect what he meant to us." The Bruins wore No. 36 patches on their jerseys in memory of Pasquale. The Huskers wore No. 36 decals on their helmets, and there was a moment of silence for Pasquale before the game. The Huskers (2-1), wearing alternate black jerseys instead of their traditional home red, looked to be in total control in the first half. Then they had a flashback to last year at the Rose Bowl, when they couldnt stop Hundley and an offence that had 653 yards in a 36-30 Bruins win. "The first half there was so much emotion, Im not going to lie," Hundley said. "I just had so much emotion going into the game. There were a lot of things that added up to it. After the first half, everything slowed down and we got back to playing football and came out with the win." The 18 points marked the biggest deficit overcome by a Nebraska opponent in Lincoln since Washington State, according to the university yearbook, erased a 20-0 halftime deficit to win 21-20 in 1920. Memorial Stadium opened in 1923. The Bruins (2-0) scored 35 points in 16 minutes. The barrage started with Paul Perkins 10-yard touchdown run to cut Nebraskas lead to 21-10 at the half. Jordon James scored from 3 yards before Hundley threw TD passes of 28 yards to Shaquelle Evans, 12 yards to Phillip Ruhl and 3 yards to Nate Iese. "We came in at halftime and there werent a lot of adjustments that needed to be made," Mora said. "It was more of an adjustment in our mindset." Mora told his players at halftime that they needed to relax and breathe. "There were no mystical, magical Xs and Os," Mora said. "It was just our players doing what theyre supposed to do and really just loving what they do, and thats playing football." Nebraskas defence, which has struggled in the biggest games in the past year, allowed 236 yards in the third quarter and 504 for the game. "The second half was a lot like last year," Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. "We made the tackles in the first half. I dont know how many tackles we missed in that second half but it is a lot. We missed tackle after tackle after tackle." Nebraska came into the game hoping to get even for last years embarrassing performance against UCLA. Bruins linebacker Anthony Barr, who made 11 tackles and forced three fumbles, said he and his teammates also felt they had something to prove. "A lot people said last year was a fluke," Barr said. "We were listening to that and had a chip on our shoulder coming in here. We didnt play with enough controlled emotion in the first half. "The emotion got the best of us and we wanted to do a little bit too much on offence and defence. When that kind of settled down a little bit, we took a deep breath and came out and made a statement." The Huskers still looked as if they had some life in them when, trailing 38-21, they moved from their 25 to the UCLA 12 early in the fourth quarter. But Ameer Abdullah fumbled at the 6 after getting hit by Barr. Nebraska generated more than 19 yards on just two of its last 10 possessions and had only 130 of its 326 yards after halftime. "I felt at times I was looking at our guys on the sideline and it was like they saw a ghost," Pelini said. "Someone has to step up and make a play. We needed to get the momentum turned back the other way, and it didnt happen." Hundley completed 16 of 25 passes for 294 yards, with one interception that set up Nebraskas first touchdown. James ran 22 times for 105 yards and a TD. Taylor Martinez was 21 of 35 for 203 yards and three touchdowns for the Huskers, and Abdullah had 98 yards on 23 carries. Hundley kept alive the Bruins lone touchdown drive of the first half when he scrambled for 13 yards on a third-and-12. "That might be the play of the game," Mora said. "I dont like to point to a single play. But right there, we needed that." Hundley passed for 32 yards to Devin Fuller on the next play, and Perkins went 10 yards up the middle to make it an 11-point game. Holger Badstuber Bayern Munich Jersey. Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable.

Rafinha Bayern Munich Jersey. -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.Brent Seabrook scored 3:35 into overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 2-1 Game Seven win over the Detroit Red Wings, sending Chicago to the Western Conference Final against the Los Angeles Kings. That the game reached overtime at all was due to a preposterous call of coincidental minors, on Red Wings D Kyle Quincey and Blackhawks LW Brandon Saad with 1:49 left in the third period which forced the game to overtime. Referee Stephen Walkom blew the whistle just before Niklas Hjalmarsson buried what appeared to be the series-winning goal, even if it was difficult to see what Saad might have done to warrant being penalized in that situation. Chicago outshot Detroit 35-27 in the deciding game, with nine Red Wings held without a shot on goal in Game Seven. One of those players was Dan Cleary, who assisted on Detroits lone goal, giving him a team-leading five points in the series. The possession standout of the game was Blackhawks D Duncan Keith, who also led Chicago with 26:57 time on ice. It was a strange series, in which some of the best players in the world couldnt get loose offensively. Henrik Zetterberg scored Detroits lone goal in Game Seven and it was his first goal of the series, despite registering a team-high 28 shots. Pavel Datsyuk was held to just two points in seven games as well. Zetterberg led the Red Wings scoring race with a dozen points and led all players with 58 shots on goal (as well as 23 missed shots), while Cleary finished second on the Red Wings with 10 in two rounds. After 15 points in 48 regular season games, Clearys 10 points was a pleasant surprise. Patrick Sharp scored Chicagos first goal, with Marian Hossaa setting up the play.dddddddddddd Both tied for the Blackhawks team lead with five points in the series and are tied for the team lead in the playoffs with 11 points through the first two rounds. RW Justin Abdelkader led the Red Wings with both five shots on goal and nine hits in Game Seven. He had 18 shots in the series against Chicago, but failed to register a point. Abdelkader finishes this years playoff run tied for second with 61 hits in the postseason. Chicagos leading shooter in Game Seven was LW Viktor Stalberg, who had six shots on goal in 10:44 of ice time. The leading hitter was overtime hero Seabrook, with six. Seabrook also played 26:13, his higest time on ice of the playoffs and his most time on ice in a game since March 1. Blackhawks G Corey Crawford stopped 26 of 27 shots, giving him a .938 save percentage in the playoffs, ranking behind only Jonathan Quick and Tomas Vokoun. After 33 saves on 35 shots in the finale, Red Wings G Jimmy Howard finished the postseason with a .924 save percentage. Red Wings C Valtteri Filppula left Game Seven after playing 1:28, suffering an apparent ankle injury when he got tangled up with Chicagos Andrew Shaw in front of the benches. Detroit had their opportunities, getting out to a 3-1 lead in the series, but couldnt finish the Blackhawks. By the thinnest of margins, Game Seven OT, the Blackhawks get to take on the defending champs for the right to go to the Stanley Cup Final and the Red Wings go home.
