GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida defensive end Jordan Sherit calls Florida States Dalvin Cook the best back well face.Better than Nick Chubb, Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice, Rawleigh Williams and every other running back who has lined up against the 13th-ranked Gators this season.So its no surprise that containing Cook is Floridas top priority when it travels to Tallahassee to play the No. 15 Seminoles (8-3) on Saturday night. Few have done it, not even the Gators (8-2).What we have to do is not let him do what he likes to do, and thats hit the edge and get going, Sherit said. He does have tremendous speed, so weve got to limit the perimeter and stuff like that and just wrap up and tackle.Sounds simple. Seems unlikely.A junior from Miami, Cook has 1,467 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns this season. He has topped the 100-yard mark seven times in his last eight games and has torched the Gators the last two years.He ran 24 times for 144 yards against Florida as a freshman in 2014. He carried 26 times for 183 yards and two touchdowns last year in Gainesville.The guy can run behind his pads the way hes built and yet he can give you that side-to-side jump cut and get to top speed so quickly, Gators coach Jim McElwain said. You cant blink. You got to keep your head up and you got to wrap this guy up. We got to get people around the ball because hes going to make some guys miss and thats what makes him so special.The Gators have had mixed results against the run this season. They shut down Georgias Chubb (9 carries, 20 yards) and LSUs Fournette (12-40), and limited LSUs Guice to 83 yards on 19 carries.But they also struggled to contain Vanderbilts Ralph Webb, Missouris Damarea Crockett and Arkansas Williams. Three of Floridas last three opponents -- Missouri, Arkansas and LSU -- topped 200 yards rushing.Now, it could be Cooks turn.He can move a little better, Gators linebacker Kylan Johnson said. He is a good, balanced back. ... Im up for the challenge. We are all up for a challenge. So we will be ready.Johnson is one of several Florida players thrust into the starting lineup because of injuries. The Gators will be without their top three tacklers -- linebacker Jarrad Davis, linebacker Alex Anzalone and safety Marcus Maye -- for the second straight week. Safety Nick Washington (ankle) will join them on the sideline Saturday.So Johnson, fellow linebackers David Reese and Vosean Joseph, safety Marcell Harris and now safety Chauncey Gardner will be charged with helping slow down Cook.But it really starts up front, where defensive tackle Caleb Brantley and defensive end CeCe Jefferson have emerged as guys who can penetrate the backfield on every play and have to be accounted for before every snap.The same could be said for Cook, who bounced back from a slow first three games of the season and was named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nations top running back.It just shows you always dont get the start you want, Cook said. There were plays to be made. Its all about how you finish. I think we are doing a good job of finishing the season well, finish strong. That is going to be the key to everything.Last week at Syracuse, Cook ran for 225 yards and a school-record-tying four touchdowns. He also broke Warrick Dunns 20-year-old school record for career rushing yards. Cook now tops the list with 4,166 and counting.With two games remaining, he could break his own single-season school records for rushing yards (1,691) and all-purpose yards (1,935).Another big game against Florida would go a long way toward making it happen. The Gators are wary, especially since Cook has more 40-yard plays (eight) this season than Florida does as a team (seven).This guy is fun to watch, McElwain said. I wish at times when youre watching it that you werent preparing to play it, that you were just watching it for the pure joy of watching a good player. I just think this guys as good as there is in the country. ... The sheer numbers dont lie.

He neednt have worried. These days, the Dodgers can do no wrong, even if its late. Mark Ellis hit a two-run homer to highlight a five-run 10th inning as the Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. "Were rolling right now. Were going to see how long this roll lasts," said Los Angeles reliever Brandon League, who beat his former team for the second straight game. Yasiel Puig also went deep in the 10th for the Dodgers, who have won six straight and 23 of 28 to go from last in the NL West on June 21 to first place. Los Angeles won its 10th straight road game, the franchises longest streak since the Brooklyn Dodgers won their first 11 away from home in 1955. League (5-3) pitched two innings and Kenley Jansen finished for the Dodgers, who left 13 runners on base and went 2 for 17 with runners in scoring position. "It was one of those games where youre going Man, were letting too many opportunities get away from us," Mattingly said. "That game scared me from the second on, just the way it went. Its nice to come back and get that." The Dodgers loaded the bases in the second but scored just one. They stranded runners at first and second in the fourth and left the bases loaded in the fifth, coming up empty both times. "Early in the year we didnt come back in any games, I dont think," Mark Ellis said. "Lately weve been able to do that. Thats the sign of a good team." Juan Perez (1-2) gave up all five runs and four hits in the 10th inning for Toronto, snapping his streak of 22 innings without an earned run since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo in late May. The Blue Jays were swept for the second straight series, and have lost a season-high seven consecutive games and 14 of 18. Toronto led 8-3 after six innings Tuesday before the Dodgers rallied to win 10-9, but manager John Gibbons said this one was even more cruel. "I thought we were rock bottom last night," Gibbons said. "I guess not." This time, the Blue Jays were up 3-2 heading into the ninth before the Dodgers rallied against closer Casey Janssen. Puig drew a leadoff walk before Janssen struck out Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez, then got two strikes on Andre Ethier. When Ethier hit a sinking liner to centre, Colby Rasmus charged the ball but couldnt catch it, then had it bounce off his glove, allowing Puig to score. "I saw with Hanley and Gonzo that (Janssen) kind of forced them to chase some bad pitches out of the zone," Ethier said. "I wwas just trying to get something over the plate to drive.dddddddddddd" The blown save was Janssens second in 20 opportunities. "I shouldnt have walked Puig in the first place," Janssen said. "Leadoff walks always hurt and tonight it got me." In the 10th, Juan Uribe drew a one-out walk and Ellis homered into the second deck in left, his fifth. One out later, Puig hit his ninth homer and first since July 2. Gonzalez walked, Ramirez doubled and Ethier followed with a two-run double. "It felt good to win this game after having so many opportunities early," Ellis said. Torontos bullpen allowed two home runs for the second straight game. Toronto relievers allowed 18 earned runs in the three games against Los Angeles. "Its frustrating, its demoralizing but weve got to come back tomorrow," Gibbons said. Ethier went 4 for 5 with two RBIs and Puig was 3 for 5 with a walk and two RBIs. "He looked more like himself tonight," Mattingly said of Puig. The Blue Jays broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth against Ronald Belisario when pinch runner Rajai Davis scored from second on a throwing error by Gonzalez. Los Angeles opened the scoring on Uribes bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the second, and Puig made it 2-0 with an RBI double in the third. Dodgers starter Ricky Nolasco held the Blue Jays without a hit until the bottom of the fifth, when Rasmus and Maicer Izturis drew consecutive walks and Brett Lawrie drove them in with a two-out double off the wall. Making his fourth start since being acquired from Miami on July 7, Nolasco allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2-3 innings. He matched a season-high with four walks and struck out five. Toronto starter Esmil Rogers allowed two runs and 10 hits in seven innings, matching his longest outing of the season. The right-hander, who walked one and struck out four, has not won since June 18 against Colorado, a span of six starts. "His back against the wall all night long," Gibbons said. Before the game, the Dodgers placed outfielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list and activated left-hander Ted Lilly. Kemps move is backdated to July 22, meaning hes eligible to return Aug. 6, but manager Don Mattingly said Kemp might need more time. NOTES: The game was briefly halted in the fourth after home plate umpire Will Little was hit on the left arm by a pitch from Nolasco. Little remained in the game, but left the field for treatment between the top and bottom of the sixth. ... Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow will have more tests on his sore right forearm. Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos said its hard to be optimistic that Morrow will be able to return this season. ' ' '
