Sydney midfielder Luke Parker has praised the resilience of co-captain Kieren Jack, after a win over Geelong which he says sets up the clubs season.The Swans consolidated their top-four AFL spot with a 38-point away victory on Friday night over the Cats.The lead-up to Jacks 200th game was overshadowed by the revelation of a family feud, but the tenacious midfielder proved he was able to focus on football with a strong performance at Simonds Stadium.Jack finished with match-high tallies of three majors and 10 tackles in addition to notching 24 touches.He was outstanding, said Parker, who accumulated 27 disposals in Sydneys second win in their past 12 games at the venue.I had no doubt he would play the way he did. Hes a resilient bloke and he focuses on his footy and then stands up when we need (him to).It was a really special occasion for Kieren and for all the boys to get around him, a great moment and really good to set up our season.Sydney were coming off a six-day turnaround following a home loss to the Western Bulldogs and will face a similarly short break before hosting ladder leaders Hawthorn on Thursday night.Well take confidence out of this game and its another six-day break, so I know the boys dont mind it, Parker said.Parker attributed the Swans victory to their pressure and tweaking the way they sent the ball into the forward line that was less reliant on star forward Lance Franklin.Franklin was held to just one goal in his first match at the venue, but Sydney had 10 other goal scorers.

Now, its time to see if they can stay there.No. 20 Nebraska opens Big Ten play at Northwestern on Saturday, looking to build on a win that vaulted them into the AP poll for the first time in nearly two years.A 35-32 victory over coach Mike Rileys old rival Oregon gave Nebraska (3-0) its first ranking since December 2014.Theres lots of stuff that we have to improve on to be a good team consistently, said Riley, the longtime Oregon State coach in his second year at Nebraska. So theres plenty of teachable moments from that game that we can use.Right now, it was a great win at that point of the year. It was obviously our biggest non-league game, and we managed to win the first two games to set that up into a big game for us. Winning it is a really good thing.Nebraska can boast five national championships, 46 conference titles, three Heisman Trophy winners and an 883-368-40 record that makes it the fourth-winningest program. But the Cornhuskers had to rally last year to finish 6-7, winning three of their last four, and wound up fourth in the Big Ten West with a 3-5 conference record.Northwestern (1-2, 0-0), a 10-game winner last season, beat Duke last week after opening with losses to Western Michigan and FCS power Illinois State. A victory this week would no doubt be a big boost for the Wildcats after a shaky start.I think were far from where we need to be, coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Its a byproduct of guys preparing the right way. Ill be a broken record. Ill say that until I retire. You have to prepare, and part of that is mental. A big part of that is mental. How youre talking to yourself. How youre preparing and visualizing. The amount of time you spend really, truly studying what were doing. What your opponents doing, his strengths, the areas they try to attack you.Here are some things to know as the Cornhuskers and Wildcats meet:ALWAYS CLOSEFour of the last five meetings have been decided by three points or fewer, with Noorthwestern winning 30-28 in Lincoln last year.ddddddddddddThe Huskers rallied from fourth-quarter deficits to win two of those games, including the 2013 game in Lincoln on a Hail Mary. Nebraska won 38-17 in Evanston two years ago.ON TRACKLast in scoring and total offense in the Big Ten and with a league-worst 11 sacks allowed, it sure has not been a good start for Northwesterns offense.There have been issues on the line, which Fitzgerald called a work in progress. And that certainly has not made things easy on quarterback Clayton Thorson and running back Justin Jackson. Thorson has just a 49-percent completion rate and Jackson is averaging about 87 yards, though he is going against a team that gave up 336 yards on the ground last week.HUSKERS NEW WARDROBENebraska will wear an alternate Adidas white uniform. The Husker Chrome outfit features red numbering with metallic chrome outlining on the jersey accented with metallic chrome stripes on both the jersey and pants. The helmet has a metallic red N logo on both sides and is accented with numbers in metallic red and metallic chrome outlining on the back of the helmet.TURNOVER TURNABOUTNebraska was last in the Big Ten last year with 12 more turnovers than takeaways, and the Huskers have had a positive turnover margin just once in the past 12 seasons. So far, the Huskers are plus-six in turnover margin, ranking fifth in the country. Northwestern is plus-one in turnover margin.CATCHING ONNorthwesterns Austin Carr is off to a good start, with a Big Ten-leading 283 yards receiving. The senior is second with six receptions per game and third with 94.3 receiving yards per game. He is also coming off a huge performance against Duke, with six catches for a personal-best 135 yards -- including a career-long 58-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
