CLEMSON, S.C. -- Receiver Ray-Ray McCloud cant wait to see how teammate Deshaun Watson responds when No. 3 Louisville plays at Clemson on Saturday.McCloud knows the maddeningly calm and careful Watson will be primed to show the Cardinals and Heisman Trophy front-runner Lamar Jackson who is truly on top of the Atlantic Coast Conference.I know hes the best player in the country, McCloud said of the fifth-ranked Tigers quarterback. For him to go out there against someone who supposedly is the best player in the country as well is just going to get him to a whole other level.Watson and Tigers (4-0, 1-0 ACC) will certainly need it this week.Louisville (4-0, 2-0), behind Jacksons dynamic play, has been the surprise of college football. The Cardinals made believers of many two weeks ago with a 63-20 demolition of highly ranked Florida State, a game in which Jackson accounted for five touchdowns.Last week, Jackson had 479 yards of offense and seven touchdowns in a 59-28 victory over Marshall last Saturday to set up the ACC Atlantics undefeated showcase .Those are similar to the eye-popping numbers Watson amassed much of last season in leading Clemson to the ACC championship and a spot in the national title game.Watson hasnt put up big numbers so far but in a 26-7 win at Georgia Tech last week he threw for 304 yards -- his first time this season surpassing 300 yards -- with two touchdowns as the Tigers built a 23-0 halftime lead in their league opener.It was a positive step, Watson felt, although still not where he and Clemsons offense hopes to be by seasons end.Were going to focus on what weve got to do at Clemson, Watson said Monday. We cant focus on Louisville or Lamar Jackson. Weve got to do what we do.In a head-to-head matchup, though, give Watson the check mark for big-game experience.Watson excelled in several of them last year in showdown wins over No. 6 Notre Dame (24-22), No. 17 Florida State (23-13), No. 8 North Carolina (45-37) and No. 2 Oklahoma (37-17).Watson nearly stole the show in a 45-40 loss to national champion Alabama last January with 478 yards of offense and four TD passes.If you play this game, all the great ones love the great competition of going against the best, Watson said.Still, Watson said he wont let himself get caught up in a Lamar-vs.-Deshaun mentality. The Heisman Trophy belonged to LSU runner Leonard Fournette this time a year ago before eventually going to Alabamas Derrick Henry, Watson recalled.I just do what I do to win, he said. I cant control what people thing about the Heisman (race). Thats out of my league.Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said his team showed good focus last week and expected a similar attention to detail in prepping for Clemson.I think were excited for it, he said. We feel like its a great opportunity for us. Our guys have worked extremely hard for it, put a lot of effort and dedication into getting here. Lets go play it.Watsons had his issues with Louisvilles defense in his two previous meetings. In 2014, Watson cracked a finger on a helmet in the first quarter and missed the rest of Clemsons 23-17 win. Watson was healthy, but off target at Louisville last season as Clemson held on for a 20-17 victory. He finished with 199 yards passing and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions and struggled to consistently move the offense.Watson said that game was a building block toward bigger things later on -- something he believes is also happening this season as Clemsons attack continues its slow burn to success.Were still having the same energy that we had before, preparing at the same high level, Watson said. We just want to be 1-0 this week and move on from there.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Randall Cunningham Jersey . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. Timmy Jernigan Jersey . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. http://www.cheapeaglesjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-torrey-smith-jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. Rasul Douglas Jersey .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does. Sidney Jones Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. The Los Angeles Kings have made a habit of collecting wins after regulation recently. The Nashville Predators know all too well what its like to be on the losing end of such a contest when facing the Kings.Seeking their fourth straight win, the Kings welcome the struggling Predators to Staples Center on Thursday night.After opening the season with three consecutive losses, the Kings (3-3-0) have bounced back to win three in a row -- all after the score was knotted at the end of regulation. They began their run by winning 4-3 at Dallas in overtime on Thursday, then returned home to top Vancouver by the same score in a shootout on Saturday.Los Angeles continued its winning ways after regulation Tuesday. Alec Martinez scored 74 seconds in overtime to lift the Kings to a 3-2 victory over Columbus.The Kings went 2-1-0 vs. the Predators in 2015-16 with both wins secured in overtime.Jeff Carter scored with 18 seconds to play in the extra session in a 4-3 victory at Staples Center on Oct. 31. Tanner Pearson lit the lamp 1:18 into OT to give the Kings a 2-1 on Feb. 20 in Nashville.Pearson, a left wing, leads the Kings this season with four goals and six points, with all of his points recorded during a career-best four-game points streak. His lone goal and assist vs. the Predators have come in the last two matchups.A completely unexpected key to Los Angeles resurgence has been veteran goaltender Peter Budaj, who was again expected to see the bulk of his playing time this season in the American Hockey League.But Jonathan Quick, the teams all-time wins leader, suffered a lower-body injury in the season opener and is expected to miss up to three months. Backup Jeff Zatkoff strained a groin hours before the win over the Canucks, opening the door for the Budaj, whos surrendered eight goals on 75 shots over the last three contests.Winning is fun, the 34-year-old Budaj told the Kings official website after practice on Wednesday. When you win the games, youre very excited, very happy. Everything comes easier. You work hard easier because your mind is a little looser because youre winning, but you cannot focus on what happened yesterday ... Yesterrday was yesterday.ddddddddddddBudaj is 7-5-0 with 2.31 goals-against average and one shutout in 12 career games against Nashville. However, hes not faced the Predators since Montreal posted a 2-1 win -- in overtime -- on Nov. 12, 2011.The Kings signed former Predators goaltender Anders Lindback on Wednesday and assigned him to Ontario of the AHL. Lindback has also played for Tampa Bay, Dallas, Buffalo and Arizona, posting a 45-58-8 record with a 2.87 GAA.Nashville dropped to 0-3-0 on the road after being drubbed 6-1 by Anaheim on Wednesday night in the opener of a five-game road trip. Colin Wilsons goal with just over 12 minutes left was the Predators NHL-high 10th of the season.Lack of any offensive punch from their top two threats last season has a hand in why Nashville is tied with Winnipeg for last in the Central Division. Filip Forsberg, a team-best 33-goal scorer last season, has yet to tally one in 2016-17. James Neal, who was second on the club with 31 goals, also has yet to score.The Predators top two defensemen, P.K. Subban (two goals, team high-tying five points) and Roman Josi (three assists and four points) have been trying to fill the offensive gap, but Nashvilles goaltenders were shaky while surrendering five special-teams goals -- two of them short-handed -- against the Ducks.Pekka Rinne, playing in his first game after missing one due to food poisoning, was lifted late in the second period after stopping only 13 of 17 shots. Marek Mazanec, appearing in just his third NHL game going back to January 2015, turned aside seven of nine shots.Weve got to do a better job of just being harder to play against, defending our goaltender better and defending our end better, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said.However, Rinne is 2-0-1 in his last three appearances in Los Angeles despite posting a 3.57 GAA in that span. Mazanec defeated the Kings in his only start against them in December 2013 in Nashville.The Predators are 3-0-1 in their last four games at Staples Center, all one-goal decisions.
