(AP) — Maurice Jones-Drew looks at Oakland's Darren McFadden and sees a run- ning back who has the total package — that rare combi- nation of size and speed that makes other elite running backs in the NFL take notice. McFadden loves watch- ing Jones-Drew run the ball for the Jacksonville Jaguars, praising his tenacity that allows him to get yards out of the toughest of situations. Jones-Drew and McFad- den are widely considered among the best running backs in the NFL going into Sunday's game between the Jaguars (1-4) and Raiders (1-4). They have something else in common that is much less enviable: they have been unable to turn their teams into winners. "It gets frustrating because you work so hard throughout the week and throughout the offseason to get into your best shape," Jones-Drew said. "At the end of the day we just want to go out there and win some games. Every loss is frustrating. But at the same time I wouldn't want any- thing to come easy to me or to us. We have to fight for it. When you fight for things you earn it and that happi- ness is much more than when you're given certain things." Jones-Drew has made the playoffs just once in his seven-year career, coming as Fred Taylor's backup in 2007. Since taking over the starting job in 2009, the Jaguars have failed to post a winning record even though BOOST (Continued from page 1B) pressure on me. So, when I touch the ball, I got to make something happen every time.'' Goodson has done a good job of that so far this season for the Raiders (1-4) heading into Sunday's game against Jacksonville (1-4). He has 11 carries for 89 yards, with three of those runs going for at least 10 yards, including a key 43- yarder last week in Atlanta. That's as many big-play runs as McFadden in 73 fewer carries. Schreter placed 12th in the 100-yard freestyle. Jor- Stanford, which has yet to score an offensive touch- down in two road losses, is hardly the force it was a year ago behind Andrew Luck and three others drafted in the top 42 picks. Cal looked awful at times in losses to Nevada and Utah, but then nearly pulled off an upset at Ohio State and has started to find its rhythm in back-to- back wins against UCLA and Washington State. In what is the earliest Big Game since the inaugural edition played in March because of the expanded Pac-12's squeezed schedule, an October surprise seems unlikely. Then again, as those involved always say, the Bay Area rivalry has pro- duced some unexpected moments many times before. ''All the tradition and all the history and all that is real- ly important. Most of the guys understand that, what the Big Game is all about,'' Tedford said. ''Every year, there's always a history les- son that goes into the Big Game.'' Maybe this year more than most. excelled in the screen pass- ing game, catching seven balls for 115 yards including a 64-yard touchdown pass in Miami back in Week 2. That's one of two 20-yard receptions for Goodson so far this season. ''He can run screens, he catches the ball really well out of the backfield, he can run between the tackles, obviously he showed that last week, he can pick up pass protection, he plays special teams,'' quarterback Carson Palmer said. ''He's kind of just a team guy. He knows this is Darren McFadden's running game and he knows that he's kind of the lead dog in that and understands his role and just looks, any way he can help the team. He'll play on any special team you ask him to. He'll come in on third down, he'll carry the ball in short yardage, it doesn't matter. He just wants to be on the field. Just loves playing foot- ball.'' Goodson has also Goodson's tenure in Oak- land did not get off to a rous- ing start. He had a scary injury early in training camp after being hit by teammate Philip Wheeler. He lay prone on the turf for about 15 minutes before being taken by ambulance to the hospital with a neck injury. He then fumbled twice in his exhibition debut, bring- ing back bad memories from his time in Carolina when he fumbled six times in 2010.

A slow start this season indicates possibly another year of disappointment. "I'm always optimistic. Palmer and the defense intercepted three passes and shut down Atlanta's running game. You never know," Jones- Drew said. "I think every- body's mood is a sense of urgency. We dug ourselves a hole and the only way to get out is to take it one play at a time. We can't really dwell on what happened the last couple of weeks. We had some games that we felt we were leading and got out of control." McFadden came into the league as a heralded college player picked fourth overall in 2008 and has shown the ability to be a game-break- ing back when healthy. But the Raiders have yet to post a winning season despite his presence. He has struggled a bit this season adjusting to a new blocking system, aver- aging just 3.2 yards per carry, but feels poised for a breakout. familiar as the Falcons drove to the winning field goal with 1 second left to send the Raiders to another loss. But the result was all too any way, we weren't happy in any way," Palmer said. "We wanted to win the game and we didn't. You got to continue to work, you got to continue to grind and just believe in each other, believe in the game plan, believe in the coaching. You look at a game film, you improve from it. That's real- ly all you can do. We're not going to sit back and be happy about statistics. We're going to sit back and figure out why we didn't win, look at ways we can get better and try to improve." "We weren't satisfied in "I feel like we're getting there," McFadden said. "We still have some things that we need to clean up. It was- n't a good average but over- all I felt like we ran the ball pretty good. I feel like our running game is getting to where it needs to be." The Raiders, despite los- ing 23-20 last week at unde- feated Atlanta, are perhaps coming off their best game of the season. The running game provided more con- sistency even if McFadden was unable to break any long runs, the passing game was sharp despite two cost- ly turnovers by Carson said. ''So, to be able to get in there and make plays, it felt good.'' Now Goodson has done a good job filling a void at backup running back created when the Raiders allowed Michael Bush to leave as a free agent in the offseason. Bush and McFadden had formed a strong duo during their time together in Oak- land with Bush's power style complementing McFad- den's breakaway speed. With McFadden also having a history of injuries, Bush was able to fill in capably as a starter when McFadden was unable to play. Bush actually led Oakland with 977 yards rushing last sea- son. improvement the Raiders showed after a bye week and hope they can replicate that. First-year coach Mike Mularkey said he saw a more physical Raiders team that executed well and tweaked the game plan a bit to better take advantage of the team's strengths. Jacksonville did little right in its last game before the bye, losing 41-3 at home to Chicago. Second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw two interceptions that were returned for touch- downs and the Jaguars were outgained 501-189. The Jaguars see the That is one of three lop- sided losses for the Jaguars, who lost by 17 points the previous week to Cincinnati John Fox. But he didn't have any carries last year under new coach Ron Rivera and caught one pass for 4 yards. Goodson is getting his chances this season, much to his delight. ''It definitely makes a dif- ference to be able to get hit a couple of times, get yourself going, it definitely helps for a running back,'' he said. NOTES: T Khalif Barnes (groin), CB Shawntae Spencer (sprained right foot) and TE Richard McFadden has been healthy most of this season, although he did miss a little bit of time last week while being treated for a shoulder injury. That didn't end up slowing the Raiders down too much. ''It's a relief just having someone able to come in there and pick up the slack,'' McFadden said. ''He comes in there and he's going 100 miles per hour every time he's in there.'' Goodson was acquired in Gordon (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday. ...
