BREMEN, Germany -- Werder Bremen sacked Viktor Skripnik as coach on Sunday after the team started the season with four straight defeats, ending his 20-year association with the club.Under-23 coach Alexander Nouri was to take over Monday on an interim basis for the home league games against Mainz and Wolfsburg, assisted by Florian Bruns.The Bundesliga club also dismissed Skripniks assistants Florian Kohfeldt and Torsten Frings with immediate effect.We decided for this step because we werent convinced after the performance in `Gladbach that the turnaround could be achieved quickly in the current constellation, Bremen sporting director Frank Baumann said. We want to thank Viktor and his assistant coaches for their work in the past years.Bremen lost 4-1 at Borussia Moenchengladbach to start the league season with three straight defeats on Saturday, while it was also knocked out in the first round of the German Cup by third-division side Sportfreunde Lotte.Skripnik, a former Ukraine defender, joined Bremen as a player in 1996, won the double in 2004 when he retired and began coaching in the clubs youth setup. He took over the top job in October 2014. Nike Zoom Clearance . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Nike Air Zoom Outlet .

Nike Zoom Clearance Sale . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. The Boise State Broncos moved back into the Top 25 rankings this week for the first time since the middle of the 2015 season after knocking off Oregon State, 38-24, last Saturday.Now the No. 24 Broncos focus their sights on Mountain West Conference play when they host the team that knocked them out of those same ratings a year ago, the Utah State Aggies, on Saturday night (10:15 p.m. ET on ESPN2) at Albertsons Stadium.The Broncos (3-0), who eventually finished in a four-way tie for second place in the Mountain Division behind Air Force, were ranked 20th when the host Aggies jumped out to a 45-10 halftime lead and cruised to a 52-26 victory. So it shouldnt take much for head coach Bryan Harsin to get his team ready for this years rematch.Every week youve got to find a way to motivate yourselves, youve got to find a way to motivate your team, defensive coordinator Andy Avalos said. Some weeks are easier than others. Obviously, this week -- Utah State got after us pretty good last year so ...Actually, the defense was only partly to blame for the loss. Boise States offense finished with eight turnovers, including seven in the first half, and the Aggies parlayed three of them into 21 points in the final 85 seconds of the half.Afterward, Utah State coach Matt Wells called the victory maybe the greatest win in program history. Its huge. I make no bones about it.Turned out both teams finished looking up to an unheralded Air Force squad in the final standings.I think its time to set it straight, defensive lineman Elliot Hoyte said. This is a completely different year and we want to come out with a (win) ... (But) that memory is still fresh even a year out.Boise State running back Jeremy McNichols rushed 28 times for a career-high 208 yards and scored a career-high four touchdowns in the win over Oregon State. He has now scored a touchdown in all 15 games he has started in his career.HHe was awesome, Harsin told the Idaho Statesman.dddddddddddd The one thing I think you see in J-Mac ... is how much more physical he was. He got angry out there.McNichols scored on runs of 5, 6 and 70 yards, and added a 6-yard touchdown reception on a shovel pass from sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien. It was the first time that a Boise State running back ran for 200 yards since Jay Ajayi on Nov. 29, 2014, against Utah State, which was also the last time a Bronco scored four touchdowns in a game.McNichols, who has been somewhat overshadowed by San Diego States Donnel Pumphrey when it comes to top running backs in the Mountain West, now has nine career games with 100 or more rushing yards, all in his past 11 appearances.Utah State (2-2) enters the contest off a 27-20 home loss to Air Force and could be without two of its best players, running back Devante Mays and safety Dallin Leavitt.Mays, who sat out Utah States 34-20 win over Arkansas State a week earlier with an undisclosed leg injury, did not start against the Falcons and left after carrying just once for two yards. He had a career-high 208 yards rushing and three touchdowns in a season opening win over Weber State, so his loss would be a big one for the Aggies.The same could be said if Leavitt, who has emerged as the leader of Utah States secondary, cant go. He left the Air Force loss in the third quarter with an ankle injury.Well see about Leavitt and Mays, Wells said at his weekly press conference. If they are out an extended time, Ill let you know. And if theyre not, itll be day-to-day and we wont talk about it much anymore.Boise State has won 16 consecutive conference openers and is 97-6 at home since 2000, a 94.2 winning percentage that ranks as the best in the nation during that span.
