Louisville can take a big -- no, make that huge -- step in assuming control of the ACC Atlantic Division race when it plays Clemson Saturday in one of the marquee matchups of the season.The two undefeated teams will kick off at 8 p.m. ET (ABC) at Memorial Stadium in Clemson.If the third-ranked Cardinals win, they would own victories over both of the other two teams rated as division contenders, having routed Florida State 63-20 in their meeting earlier this season. A loss to the fifth-ranked Tigers opens the way for a three-way fight among the Cardinals, Tigers, and Seminoles.The 4-0 Cardinals are already 2-0 in conference play with a win over Syracuse to go with the victory over the Seminoles. Also 4-0 overall, Clemson is 1-0 in league play with a win over Georgia Tech in its last outing.Even Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who always contends that the Tigers upcoming game is their biggest of the season, has to concede the games significance.Some games have a little more pizazz than others -- thats the biggest thing with this one, Swinney said.The Cardinals have been looking forward to it ever since whipping the Seminoles in Louisville, and its a credit to them that they avoided a letdown and demolished Marshall last week 59-28.Ive been in a predicament before when we thought about something else in the future. We ended up losing and I wasnt having that, Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson said. I wanted to focus. We wanted to win. We wanted to play Clemson and be undefeated just like them.Jackson himself wasnt satisfied with his performance, especially after being limited to 62 yards on the ground. Though he threw for 417 yards and five touchdowns, he gave himself harsh marks after the game.F, he said.Dont take any classes that Jackson teaches, with those grading standards.Clemson-Louisville should live up to its billing. The Tigers havent looked as dominating as some expected, but they are still undefeated and capable of putting up big numbers.Quarterback Deshaun Watson is again a Heisman Trophy contender, along with Jackson, and can outrun cornerbacks down the field or stop on a dime and wing it over the safeties heads. Clemson will be the fastest and most athletic team the Cardinals will see in ACC play, except perhaps during their own practices.This will be just the second game in the 74-year history of Memorial Stadium to feature two Top 5 teams. The other was three years ago when No. 3 Florida State took on the Tigers, who were No. 5 at the time. The Seminoles won that one 51-14.These are the type of games you relish having the opportunity to be a part of, Swinney said. They all count, but when you get a Top 5 matchup, those are unique. Its going to be a great night.The primary task for Clemson will be slowing down the nations most prolific offense. Behind Jackson, Louisville leads the nation in total offense (682 yards per game), scoring offense (63.5) and first downs (125).Everybodys having a hard time with him for the same reason -- hes a great player, an elite guy, Swinney said. Hes probably been the best guy in the country through four games. He leads the nation in rushing touchdowns. Youre not dealing with just another guy. This is an elite player. Were going to have to play our best.Clemson has a defense that could prove up to the task. Despite losing eight starters off last years group, coordinator Brent Venables has the Tigers defense clicking on all cylinders once again. Clemson ranks No. 3 in the country in total defense (218.5) and No. 5 nationally in scoring defense (11.0).First of all, our staff does a great job recruiting, Swinney said of the secret to that success. To have consistency you have to recruit well, then develop those guys -- thats the key. And we have the best defensive coordinator in the country. He does an incredible job. Sale Air Max Online .

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Joses worst played game of the week delivered the best result for the Sharks.Logan Couture and Kevin Labanc scored less than 2 minutes apart in the second period and the Sharks bounced back from consecutive losses by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Saturday night.When you look at the week out of the three games we played, it was probably our poorest of the three, coach Peter DeBoer said. But we found a way to win, and the other two we lost, maybe we deserved better. Thats hockey.Patrick Marleau scored 12 seconds into the game and Paul Martin added his first goal of the season for the Sharks, who had allowed late tiebreaking goals in their previous two games to lose to Ottawa and Anaheim.Backup goalie Aaron Dell made 30 saves to earn his third win in four starts this season. His only loss was a 1-0 defeat in Carolina last month but he got much more support this game.Its always nice to get some good bounces like that, Martin said. Most of the season weve been creating chances, getting pucks to the net. At some point its nice to get rewarded for that kind of stuff when guys are working hard and creating opportunities.Lee Stempniak and Derek Ryan scored power-play goals and Joakim Nordstrom added a short-handed tally but it wasnt enough for the Hurricanes, who earned three points on their three-game California swing. Cam Ward made 16 saves.They had momentum right off the bat, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. We were chasing the game most of the night.After a lackluster start to the second period for San Jose with no shots in the first 8 minutes and then allowing a game-tying short-handed goal by Nordstrom, the Sharks took control with a quick flurry.Seconds after Ryan returned from a slashing penalty, Brent Burns kept the puck in at the point and sent a shot toward net that Couture deflected past Ward for hiis 11th of the season.ddddddddddddJust 1:52 later, Labanc came on the ice after Marleau broke a stick and skated right toward the net. That put him in perfect position to knock the rebound of Dylan DeMelos into an open net to make it 4-2.Ryan cut the deficit to one when he scored on the power play early in the third period after Brenden Dillon was sent off for cross-checking Sebastian Aho well behind the play.Carolina nearly got another power play later in the period when Burns was called for hooking, but Jeff Skinner also got sent off when the referee called him for embellishment.The Hurricanes pushed for the equalizer late but Dell stopped Jeff Skinners 11th shot on goal of the night to seal the win.were always trying to battle back and get back in the game as best we can and I thought we did a good job in the third at least to make it interesting, defenseman Matt Tennyson said.The game got off to an action-packed start with three goals in the opening 3:14. Marleau started it when Justin Braun sprung Joe Thornton on a 2 on 1 to set up the quick score.The teams then traded goals shortly after that with Stempniak scoring first goal in 23 games on the power play before Martins point shot deflected off defenseman Brett Pesces skate to put San Jose back ahead.Game notes The fastest goal in Sharks history came 8 seconds into the game by Stephane Matteau on Jan. 11, 2000, against St. Louis. ...
