LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just couldnt get over the hump tonight. Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood.

He limped off the field to the locker room, leaning on team trainers walking on either side of him.Coach Gary Kubiak said after practice that Wolfe rolled his ankle. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.Thats scary, especially with Vance going down, Broncos safety T.J. Ward said. I hope hes all right, but, man, that was a tough one.On Monday, the Broncos lost starting defensive end Vance Walker to a season-ending knee injury. Walker tore his right ACL during team drills when he became entangled with a pass blocker.The controlled scrimmaging between the teams, played out before a large crowd on hand for the last Broncos practice open to the public, included some heated moments between Denvers offensive units and the 49ers defensive units. Twice, the sides got into it, fighting and shoving and grabbing each other, though a combination of players and coaches from both teams quickly got the scrums under control.There were a couple of situations, Kubiak said. Its usually when they start talking too much. Thats what usually causes things, not so much the football.The fights notwithstanding, Kubiak said the joint practice was beneficial for both teams.Thats real football, what you saw today, he said. A lot of things going on, a lot of competition.Quarterback Christian Ponder practiced for the first time since signing Tuesday with the 49ers, whose passer corps has been depleted by injury.Ponder was released by the Raiders in training camp last year and did not play last season but offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins expressed confidence Ponder would get a handle quickly on the 49ers scheme.Hell be fine, Modkins said. Hes smart. Hes athletic. Hell be able to ddo things that we ask him to do and I expect to catch-up to speed pretty quickly.ddddddddddddan Francisco lost backup quarterback Thad Lewis to a season-ending knee injury Sunday in the exhibition opener against Houston.Colin Kaepernick, who has not been throwing any passes in practice since Thursday because of tightness in his right shoulder, was on the practice field for mental reps and took three running-play snaps, handing off every time.

Cornerback Lorenzo Doss intercepted a deflected pass by the 49ers Jeff Driskel, and cornerback Kayvon Webster made a diving interception along the sideline of Ponder.The Broncos quarterback competition among Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and rookie Paxton Lynch remains unresolved though Kubiak has hinted a decision is coming soon. Whenever it happens, it wont be easy.Its a tough, tough decision for us, Kubiak said. But thats a good thing because theyre doing their job.Game notesBroncos tight end Jeff Heuerman was not able to finish practice because of tightness in his hamstrings. ...
