LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Lamar Jackson has become a leading Heisman Trophy contender on a Louisville team that has risen to No. 3 in the nation. The tough part for the Cardinals, now, is to stay composed on the road to a possible league title and shot at a national championship.You know, its crazy but it isnt anything to me, Jackson said after the Cardinals 63-20 shellacking of Florida State, which fell 11 places to No. 13. You have to stay humble. Stay humble and stay calm. Everything is calm to me.Louisvilles big Atlantic Coast Conference win, however, earned a seven-spot jump in the latest Associated Press Top 25 and has the Cardinals (3-0) in the title discussion. The ranking matches their Nov. 5, 2006 standing during Petrinos first stint with the Cardinals.I couldnt picture any of the wins and how its going right now, running back Brandon Radcliff said. We work so hard that I feel this is the way we wanted it and we planned to do it.Jackson meanwhile is at the top of the Heisman conversation following a stellar game against the Seminoles.He collected five more touchdowns, four running, to raise his season total to 18. Jackson also completed 13 of 20 passes for 216 yards and ran 17 times for 146, including an impressive 47-yard TD run that led former Virginia Tech QB and NFL free agent Michael Vick to tweet that Jackson is better than he was at the same point in college.Yet for all the praise and Heisman talk, the sophomore was pretty tough on himself afterward. Noting seven incompletions and an end-zone interception, he gave his performance a D and downplayed the speculation about the award given to the nations best player.I try not to pay attention to that, Jackson said. I try to keep that out of my mind. Im not the type to get hyped. ... Im just chill.Petrino also suggested that the coaching staff will try to keep players egos in check during video sessions. Next up for Louisville is Saturdays non-conference meeting at Marshall.The Cardinals have lost four in a row to the Thundering Herd, which means they cant look past them toward their next high-profile challenge on Oct. 1 at defending ACC champion Clemson. The Tigers (3-0) remained fifth after Saturdays 59-0 rout of South Carolina State.We will be very critical, very hard on them and they need to be hard on themselves, Petrino said. You need to watch the video and see if you utilized your technique right. ... Well go out and run and get right back into our normal routine.Normalcy might have new meaning with Louisville now a top-three team and on everybodys radar. But running back Brandon Radcliff believes the same approach that got the Cardinals there will help them keep their lofty status in perspective.Radcliff added, were a serious football team and were not going to take anybody lightly.---This story has been corrected to show that Florida State is No. 13, not No. 1.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys From China .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.

Cheap NFL Jerseys China . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. There is no world title at stake in the fight between former world title challengers Gabriel Rosado and Willie Monroe Jr., but there is a chance it could lead to the biggest fight of eithers career.Rosado and Monroe, who have both lost in past world title bouts, will meet in a scheduled 12-round middleweight fight in the co-feature of the Canelo Alvarez-Liam Smith junior middleweight title bout Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET) at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.Golden Boy Promotions hoped to have middleweight titleholder Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs), of England, in the co-feature to showcase him to an American audience, with the plan that if he and Alvarez both won, they would fight in December for what would be Alvarezs debut at 160 pounds. Alvarez is the lineal middleweight champion but has been boxing at a preferred catch weight of 155 pounds.But when Saunders turned down Rosado (23-9, 13 KOs) and Monroe (20-2, 6 KOs) as his opponent, as well as Curtis Stevens, Golden Boy and Monroe promoter Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions made the match between Rosado and Monroe.If Mexicos Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) beats Englands Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs) -- and Alvarez is a heavy favorite -- he would still need a December opponent for a likely 160-pound debut. The Rosado-Monroe winner could be given that huge opportunity.Gabes one of the most exciting fighters in boxing today, Golden Boy president Eric Gomez said. Hes always in a great fight. [Saturday] wont be an exception. Hes going to come to fight, and the big prize is Canelo. The winner of this fight very well could be fighting Canelo in December.Golden Boy, of course, preferred that Rosado, 30, of Philadelphia, would get a shot at Saunders on Saturday. When Saunders turned Rosado down and then Monroe, Gomez wanted to figure out a way to keep Rosado on the card.When that [fight with Saunders] fell apart, I went to Gabe and I said, Gabe, theres a couple of other guys out there. I want to make an exciting fight.The first name that came out of Gabes mouth was Willie Monroe. He said, Get me Willie Monroe. I want to fight Willie Monroe. I want to teach this guy a lesson. This guy has been going after me on social media. Thats the guy I want.So the fight was quickly made between two fighters who both were knocked out challenging Gennady Golovkin for his middleweight world title. Rosado has had two title shots, both in 2013, getting stopped by GGG in the seventh round and by then-titleholder Peter Quillin in the 10th round because of severe cuts.My mom used to say one door shuts, another one opens, Pelullo said. Willie and Gabriel Rosado got this opportunity because Billy Joe Saunders would not fight either one of them. And Eric calls us up and says, Would you fight Gabe? And Willie has never really turned anybody down. So this opportunity is terrific for both Willie and Gabe Rosado. The winner of the fight, and everybody knows this, is a natural for the winner of the Canelo-Smith fight.Monroe, 29, of Rochester, New York, who made a name for himself by winning ESPNs Boxcino middleweight tournament in 2014, got knocked out by Golovkin in the sixth round in 2015 but bounced back in June by outpointing former junior middleweight title challenger John Thompson, the 2015 Boxcino junior middleweight tournament winner.The game plan doesnt really change as much as far as [[Monroe] and Billy Joe, Rosado said.dddddddddddd Theyre both southpaws. We were already working with southpaws, and they kind of, in a way, have similar styles. I think Billy Joe is probably a little more slicker. But the game plan didnt change. Both guys can box and move and things like that. Its just the style were working on, and its pretty much the same size, so nothing changed.At the end of the day, Ive got Willie Monroe, and were going to take care of business. Thats all it is. Im not even going to think about Billy Joe Saunders.Monroe was ready, willing and able to fight Saunders as well and had begun to train for the possible fight. When it went down the tubes, he happily accepted the fight with Rosado.We were approached with the Billy Joe Saunders fight first, and Gabriel Rosado at least made it to negotiations, Monroe said. When Billy Joe Saunders was asked to fight Willie Monroe, they immediately said, Nope.Even without a guarantee of a big fight with Alvarez going to the winner, Rosado and Monroe are anxious to fight each other.I feel like Monroe disrespected me, and he will see what I think about that in the ring, Rosado said. I am going for the knockout once I step on the mat. This fight has the potential to leave a huge mark on my career, and once that final bell rings, there will be even more opportunities and fights waiting for me.Said Monroe, I am ready to get in and brawl. Its a privilege to be under one of the biggest HBO cards of the year. Going up against Rosado will be interesting, and I am ready to see what he brings into the ring.Rosado labored through a five-fight winless streak (0-4 with a no-decision) before winning his last two fights. He gives a lot of the credit for those wins to new trainer Fernando Vargas, the 1996 U.S. Olympian and former two-time junior middleweight world titleholder.Its great training with Fernando, Rosado said. We are comfortable with each other now. The chemistry was always there, but it takes a while to get familiar with the trainer. Having already trained for two fights together helped us prepare for this big opportunity. Everything is flowing.I think Monroe is a decent fighter, but Im going to show that he is not on my level as far as experience. I think Im a young veteran. Ive beat top names and lost to top names, but Im bringing more to the table.Gomez said Golden Boy wont shut the door on matching Alvarez, should he beat Smith, with Saunders in December, although Saunders would also have to keep his title Oct. 29, when he faces an opponent to be determined on the undercard of the rematch between heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko. Saunders will also be sought after by Golovkin for a unification bout.We werent able to get the fight done with Billy Joe Saunders, [but] I havent closed the door yet, Gomez said. But, look, weve got two guys that are going to go at it. This is a real fight. Gabe wants to prove that he still belongs and hes in the upper echelon of boxing, and hes got a tough fight.Willie Monroe wants to do the same thing. So [if] these guys put on a great fight, a great show, anythings possible. Were going to keep all avenues open, all doors open. I dont see why the winner of this fight shouldnt get a Canelo fight.
