NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After a one-hour crash course with coaches Friday night, Andre Johnson took the field with the Titans on Saturday and immediately looked like a receiver who can help them.?At this stage in my career, there wasnt many opportunities for me, he said. They gave me an opportunity and I jumped on it, and Im just here to help out any way I can.I dont have anything to prove to anybody. I think my career speaks for itself.At times Saturday, Johnson was with the second team and got chances ahead of both Justin Hunter and Dorial Green-Beckham. Johnson made a pretty catch going out of bounds on the right sideline on a Marcus Mariota rollout to the quarterbacks right. Johnson also made another nice grab when a well-thrown pass from Matt Cassel fell over the receivers shoulder up the left sideline, leaving Johnson to beat cornerback Cody Riggs with ease.I was just out there making plays, enjoying the moment, Johnson said. Im just trying to get better as a player.The Titans spoke glowingly about adding a player who ranks eighth in the NFL in career receptions (1,053) and ninth in yardage (14,100).He made some really eye-popping catches, safety Rashad Johnson said. He knows the game. Hes going to be a great addition to this team. I think it was a huge, huge pickup for us. Hes only going to make us much more explosive offensively and help open up that run game.Johnson, 35, will put pressure on Hunter, who is in a contract year, and Green-Beckham, who hasnt established himself heading into his second season.Just to see him at the age he is and at the point in his career and see him learn some of the playbook so fast and go out and execute and make the plays he made, I think its really exciting, receiver Kendall Wright said. He can make the group really competitive, and thats what we need.Cheap Nike Shoes UK Online . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

Coach Lon Kruger subbed early and often as 10 Sooners scored in the first half while Oklahoma raced to a 46-27 lead.Oklahoma has won 14 straight season openers and 19 straight home openers. The Sooners improved to 31-2 at home against nonconference opponents under Kruger.This group is going to make progress all the way through March, Kruger said. . Its going to be a work in progress for a while, but Im excited to see where they go and who steps up and who is doing what roles. Being that much different than last year is one of the more intriguing, enjoyable parts of this team -- the uncertainty of what lies ahead and who does what.Lattin was 7 of 9 from the field against Northwestern State (0-2). He had two baskets in an 18-2 run to start the game. After the Demons closed to 35-24, Lattin added two more during the final 4:24 of the half. The double-double was the third of his career.He said it was a different feeling to be an offensive focal point for the Sooners.You change the way you think, but you always just want the best results for your team, Lattin said. My teammates, we all do a really good job of moving the ball and were a really well-balanced team. We are able to attack and do things from all parts of the floor and thats really exciting.Zeek Woodley, the second-leading career scorer in NCAA Division I, led Northwestern State with 19 points, and Ishmael Lane and Malik Metoyer added 11 and 10, respectively. But there wasnt much else positive for the Demons, coach Mike McConathy said.Lane played hard but he couldnt finish plays, McConathy said. Zeek Woodley had a good line and Malik Metoyer . really had a lot of pop to him. Zeek is kind of a non-traditional player in that he is very efficient offensively. Hes very smooth. He kind of moves like hes loafing, but hes moving. I thought he competed well.BIG PICTURENortthwestern State: For the Demons, it was another chance to test themselves against a major-conference foe as they prepare for Southland Conference play.dddddddddddd Theyve got two more opportunities to do so -- and maybe steal what would be a highlight win -- with road games at Missouri and Mississippi State later this month.Oklahoma: This was a classic icebreaker for the Sooners, who wanted a low-risk game to get acclimated to life without Buddy Hield, Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler -- who started the past three seasons -- before likely facing their true first test later this week. The Sooners are 9-1 all-time against current Southland Conference members, including 6-0 against Northwestern State.BUFORD OUTOklahoma was without one of its more experienced players in sophomore Dante Buford. Buford was ruled ineligible for the Sooners first three games of the season for receiving an extra benefit for one of his complimentary tickets during last seasons NCAA tournament.

Freeman went 3 of 4 from 3-point range, had a steal-and-dunk in the second half and finished with 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting.Im going to put it down to my poker face, to be honest with you, Freeman said. It was tough the first time I came out there . but the more you get up and down the court and get used to it, its just a basketball game.UP NEXTNorthwestern State: The Demons will take a break from their string of road games -- with four of their first six games against major-college foes -- to host NCAA Division III LeTourneau (Texas) on Friday and Louisiana State-Alexandria of the NAIA on Nov. 22.Oklahoma: The Sooners will travel to Orlando, Florida to play in the Tire Pros Invitational.
