Really good or really lucky?Which is Clemson? Probably a bit of both.The No. 3 Tigers (8-0, 5-0 ACC) won five games by seven points or fewer this season with the latest nail-biting installment a 37-34 squeaker at Florida State last week.That kept them on course for the Atlantic Division title, a berth in the ACC Championship Game and a likely spot in the College Football Playoff as they prepare to host Syracuse on Saturday at Memorial Stadium (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC).Tigers coach Dabo Swinney would add a third trait to the list: Toughness.For our guys to overcome adversity and find a way to win at their place, its something pretty special, Swinney said. I cant say enough about the heart and toughness these guys have. They just find ways to win games in difficult situations.The Tigers had to go to overtime to beat North Carolina State 24-17 and got that opportunity only because the Wolfpack missed a chip-shot field goal attempt as time ran out in the fourth quarter with the game tied.Against Louisville, the Tigers lost a 28-10 halftime lead and trailed 36-28 midway through the fourth quarter before rallying for two touchdowns. A fourth-down stop at their own 4-yard line preserved their 42-36 victory.And they trailed by eight points again entering the fourth quarter at Florida State, and it could have been more if a fortuitous flag not nullified a big run by Seminoles running back Dalvin Cook that could have put the Seminoles in position for a least a field goal and 11-point cushion. The Tigers took advantage of the break and went on to a 17-point fourth quarter.Junior quarterback Deshaun Watson had one of the best games of his career, passing for 378 yards and two touchdowns against the Seminoles. He passed for 300 yards in four of the Tigers last five games.The defense also has gotten a boost from the return of defensive end Austin Bryant, who missed the first six games of the season with an injury. The sophomore has two sacks in the last two games.Anytime you get a great player back on your team, its very important, Swinney said. Its great to get a player like him plugged back in.Syracuse (4-4, 2-2), operating under first-year coach Dino Babers, is coming off an open date after getting to the .500 mark with consecutive victories over Boston College and ACC Coastal Division frontrunner Virginia Tech in its last two games.Babers was glad for the break.It gave quarterback Eric Dungey the chance to rest up from the punishment he has been taking in the pocket and outside it. Hes on pace to challenge or break a number of Syracuse offensive records -- if he can stay healthy against some tough defenses. He is seventh nationally in passing yards per game (328.9) and has six 300-yard passing games.We really needed the bye, Babers said. You know, a lot of times when you have a bye, you start off the next game a little bit slower, but we really needed the time to heal.The Virginia Tech, the Boston College, the Connecticut, those were physical games, they really were, and were banged up. We need our guys to get some rest. We need to go out and do some coaching. Our players need to work on their studies a little bit, and then we need to come back together and get ready for the last third of the season.Syracuse also has goals of its own in the final month, needing two more wins to get to bowl eligibility. For Clemson, the goals are slightly more ambitious, which adds to the stakes.When we get into November, the air gets a little thinner, Swinney said. This is what we call the championship phase of our journey.Its a fun time. Weve got a great opportunity in front of us, and the best part is were 8-0 and havent played our best football yet.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

NEW YORK -- Billie Jean Kings plaque is a Pokemon Go stop at the U.S. Open.The picture of King, with her accomplishments listed in bronze, greets visitors in the walkway to the USTA facility in Queens that bears her name. She tweeted: Have fun kids ... and adults!Its been 10 years since the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows was renamed in her honor on Aug. 28, 2006. The 39-time Grand Slam champion also noted on her twitter page that Althea Gibson became the first African-American to play in the U.S. Championships 66 years ago.She tweeted her signature line, You have to See it to Be it, along with Mi Casa Es Su Casa.King won four U.S. Open singles titles, five doubles and four mixed doubles at the West Side Tennis Club, the former site of the Grand Slam event.She likes the odds of top-ranked Serena Williams breaking Steffi Grafs Open-era record of 22 major singles titles next week. Theres also the likelihood that Williams will reach the overall record held by Kings contemporary Margaret Court of Australia, who finished with 24 major titles.It all depends on whether Williams wants to keep playing and stays healthy, King says.Here are some things on the mind of the 72-year-old tennis great, who is currently developing the next generation of diverse leaders through the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative:---ON SERENASerena Williams has 42 aces through four matches at the U.S. Open, serving an average of 108 mph with the highest at 126. Shes winning 87 percent of her first-service points.The sore shoulder that bothered Williams after winning Wimbledon and tying Grafs record in July seems much better after resting it and playing just three matches at the Rio Olympics.Usually, shes pretty well when the majors come along, King said. She gets through them.---OLYMPIC SCOREKing wants to see scoring changes at the Olympics to speed up the match for players, fans and TV. Her World Team Tennis league, which celebrated its 41st season last month, uses a four-point format with no-ad scoring and five-game sets.King, a former coach of the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic tennis teams, has discussed it with David Haggerty, president of the International Tennis Federation. The international governing body oversees Olympic tennis.The four majors and the Olympics are the only events where men must win three sets rather than two.dddddddddddd Andy Murray of Britain defended his gold medal against Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina in a best-of-five match 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.Whats the benefit of a four-point, five-game set and best-of-three scenario?First of all, the calendar is so full, players are playing too much, King said. It wears the guys out. Look at that Murray match ... exhausting. Wrong. They could have been hugging at the net after three.---LOVE FEDERERRoger Federer, who tops the mens record book with 17 Grand Slam titles, is recovering from knee surgery. He missed the U.S. Open for the first time since 1999 but plans to return to the ATP tour in January.I hope hes back. I dont even care if he wins anymore, King said of the 35-year-old Swiss player. Hes just so beautiful to watch.Hes a guy who really has a passion to play. Most guys wouldve quit by now because they made all that money and theyve got all this fame. Hes one player who is going to really miss playing. He loves it.Federer also is raising two sets of twins with wife Mirka, a former player on the WTA tour. He posted a photo of himself hiking in the Swiss Alps over the weekend.King appreciates the balletic gift he brings, plus the 14 Grand Slam titles Rafael Nadal has added to the sport.Were lucky to have him -- he and Nadal went to tennis and not soccer, she said. Can you imagine if they both had decided to play soccer?---WITH HERThe self-proclaimed champion of equal rights in sports and life has campaigned for Hillary Clinton, attending the Democratic National Convention and various events this year.King says shes waited a lifetime for the U.S. to elect its first female president. She campaigned for Clinton in 2008 before backing Barack Obama.That was always one of my prayers as a young girl, absolutely, King said. It was so obvious we needed to have more women. If you can see it, you can be it. Thats what I believe in.This is going to change the paradigm a lot, hopefully, when she wins. Shes going to affect boys and girls in a huge way, just like Obama did.---Online: http://www.bjkli.orgOnline: https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
