EDMONTON -- Jon Cornish has broken a record that stood for more than half of the CFLs 100-year history. The Calgary Stampeders running back set a new single-season rushing record by a Canadian in a 30-27 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday, a record that was 56 years old. A 22-yard carry by Cornish in the third quarter helped him surpass Normie Kwong, who set the mark of 1,437 yards in 1956. Cornish entered the game needing just 50 yards to surpass Kwongs mark. He ended up with 14 carries for 69 yards, finishing the regular season with 1,457 yards. In his four games against Edmonton this season, he accounted for more than 500 of those yards. The New Westminster, B.C., native was thrilled to get his name in the record books. "It is a wonderful accomplishment for not only me, but the whole offence," Cornish said. "Any time you get a single player getting rushing yards it is contingent on the offensive line and blocking from receivers. "Im not going to lie, it feels quite wonderful. Its a record that stood the test of time. Normie Kwong has been the top of the tops of Canadian running backs for a long time and to be mentioned at the same time as him is an honour." Cornish feels that Canadian running backs are becoming a force once again in the CFL and hopes that will continue. "I feel something like this is an indication there has been a return of the Canadian running back," he said. "There was a long period of time where there wasnt really any and all of a sudden you have guys like Jerome Messam, Andrew Harris and myself. Im hoping this is an inspiration for other Canadian running backs to see that they can play at this level." Cornish, the leagues rushing leader, is also trying to become the first Canadian to win the rushing title since Orville Lee in 1988. The 27-year-old has spent his entire six-year CFL career with Calgary. Cornishs record wasnt the only one recorded Friday. Eskimos linebacker J.C. Sherritt made his 11th tackle of the game with 39 seconds left to set a new league record for all-time single season tackles, surpassing Calvin Tiggles previous mark of 129 in 1994. cheap china jerseys .

On Wednesday, Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin guaranteed Cornish wouldnt surpass 100 yards rushing when the Riders host the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday.

As a Force India driver, Hulkenberg is 12th in the drivers championship.So Davis Love finally fessed up, finally admitted that really, when it comes to the Ryder Cup, there is no big plan, no secret strategy. "Its easy to have a plan when youve got great players," said a smiling Love on Saturday night. "I could have mixed it all up, and if they would have played like they did this week, any plan would have worked." Thats really it. The Americans have played better. The have a four-point lead and will very likely win old Sam Ryders mug sometime on Sunday afternoon. All this is not to say that Love hasnt had to do some deep thinking over the past two years, but you dont need a room full of PhDs to figure out that, for example, Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley would be good partners. They share an agent and have been playing practice rounds together for as long as the latter has been on the PGA Tour. Those two have put up three points for the Americans, and its the first time that Mickelson, a perennial flop at the cup, has been 3-0. You can say the same thing for Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson or Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner. In fact, Loves biggest problem has been that hes had too many good players. "It makes it easy on the captain when your big decision is do you put Keegan and Phil back out or do you give them a break like theyre asking for, Love said. "What has Dustin Johnson done when hes on the golf course this week? Hes played great, and I sat him out twice. So its hard to make decisions like that. "But we had an idea of what would work, and other than a couple hot streaks getting us, its worked pretty well." If there has been a key to the play of the Americans its been on the greens. Theyve puttted well right almost through the lineup.dddddddddddd Even Tiger Woods, who hasnt recorded a point yet, has been solid after his opening round stumble. Hes made 12 birdies in the last two matches and just happened to run into buzz saws both times. Just as Davis Loves plan didnt really play that big a role in the US performance so far, Jose Maria Olazabals hasnt really caused the European side to collapse. Unlike Love, though, hes just been trying to find players who have some game. It wasnt Martin Kaymer, who only played once in the first four matches. And it wasnt Peter Hanson, who will tee it up for the second time in the singles. Lee Westwood hasnt been strong, with his short game a glaring weakness. And poor Francesco Molinari – hes yet to earn a point in two Ryder Cup appearances, and today he gets Tiger Woods in the singles. If only Olazabal could clone Ian Poulter 11 times, hed be fine. Thats the game and the attitude that needs to be felt through the European lineup and one thats been missing up to this point. "I think the Ryder Cup should build a statue for him, you know?" Olazabal said. "You know, thats Poulter. Thats why we say that he has such a special character for this event. He thrives at this event. He loves to be in the spotlight. He loves to be in that kind of situations." Poulter is special, for sure, and Nicolas Colsaerts was magnificent for a match. But there just havent been enough big performances for the Spanish captain and as a result, hell need a Brookline miracle on Sunday. The captains do play a big role in the Ryder Cup, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to one simple factor: who is playing better. ' ' '
