to the field, try to assess the pitch and the situation,

Clemson has had little time to celebrate its 42-36 victory over Louisville last Saturday night, a result that gave the Tigers a major leg up in their bid for a second straight ACC Coastal Division title and berth in the conference championship game.The third-ranked Tigers (5-0, 2-0) were back at work the next day to begin preparing for a rare weeknight game against Boston College. The Tigers and Eagles (3-2, 0-2) clash at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.Its a quick turnaround, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. But we have good momentum. We have that windshield mentality and will continue to have that daily focus and trying to play to a standard that we talk about.This is the biggest game of the year for us, and we know were going to have to play well. We were very lucky to win up there two years ago.This is actually the second time during the young season that the Tigers have had to contend with a quick turnaround. They had only five days between games after beating South Carolina State in their third game before going to Atlanta for a Thursday night encounter with Georgia Tech.They won that game 26-7 but added only a field goal in the second half after going to locker room at halftime up 23-0. They had only 95 yards of total offense in the last two quarters after amassing 347 in the first half. Compare that with the 568 yards of total offense they had in their pivotal win over Louisville.Boston College lost to that same Georgia Tech team 17-14 in its season opener and later lost 49-0 to Virginia Tech to see its conference losing streak extended to 10 games. The Eagles havent beaten an ACC opponent since the 2014 season finale when they beat Syracuse 28-7.But Swinney isnt taking anything for granted.They are 3-2 and theyre coming off a big win, he said, referring to BCs 35-3 rout of Buffalo. And theyll be excited to play on national TV up there Friday night.With their victory over the Bulls, the Eagles matched their win total for the entire 2015 season. Quarterback Patrick Towles, a graduate transfer from Kentucky, passed for a season-high 234 yards and two touchdowns on a 14-of-25 day.Wide receiver Jeff Smith, a former quarterback, had five catches for 65 yards, and running backs Jon Hilliman and Davon Jones split the rushing load with 107 yards between them.BC coach Steve Addazio was happy with the overall performance but concedes his Eagles will have to step up their game against the Tigers.We have got to squeeze out the very obvious mental errors that are disrupting us right now, he said, because we wont get away with it against a team like Clemson, which is an understatement.The Tigers are coming off their best performance of the year in rallying to beat Louisville. After jumping out 28-10, they saw the Cardinals storm back with 26 consecutive points for a 36-28 lead.But the Tigers rallied for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and cornerback Marcus Edmonds fourth-down stop of Louisvilles James Quick a yard short of a first down at Clemsons 3-yard line on the Cardinals final drive secured the win.Quarterback Deshaun Watson threw five touchdown passes in completing 20 of 31 passes for 306 yards and also rushed for 91 yards, second to running back Wayne Gallmans 110 yards.It was a good sign for Watson, the Heisman Trophy candidate who went into the night with just 120 rushing yards total the first four games and was averaging 249 yards a game passing.Every win is a confidence builder, Watson said. You find a way to get the W and move on. Each game, no matter who were playing, we celebrate and move on. We understand that we have to put the work in during the week because anybody can be beaten.Linebacker Ben Boulware had a big effort on defense for Clemson with 18 tackles that included a sack of Louisvilles Lamar Jackson.That is kind of Luke Kuechly-ish, Swinney said, referring, appropriately enough, to the former BC all-American and current Carolina Panther. I always wanted a guy like Luke Kuechly on my team.

Saquon Barkley Womens Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.nygiantsfanaticshop.com/Black-Lawrence-Taylor-Giants-Jersey.html?cat=863 .

Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. India batsman KL Rahul has said the 2016 IPL season was the key moment for him to start believing in his abilities as a short-format batsman. Rahul scored 397 runs in 14 matches this season at a strike rate of 146.49 for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He also hit 16 sixes in the season to finish joint fifth on the list of most sixes. He had hit only five sixes in the previous IPL season.Rahul went on to earn a call up to the Indian ODI and T20 squads. He smashed a century in Zimbabwe on his ODI debut and produced a spectacular assault in Florida against West Indies that nearly took India to victory in pursuit of the highest successful T20I chase. He is now one of only three Indians, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma being the other two, to have made an international century in all three formats of the game.This years IPL was the key moment for me to start believing in myself and my shorter format abilities, Rahul told ESPNcricinfo. Once people saw it, they started believing it too. I think it is very important when your own team-mates start believing that you have the game. I always knew I could play the shorter format but it was about putting a few performances there. A couple of good innings and I knew I will start believing a lot more in myself, so yes it worked out well for me this summer.Besides his spectacular form in the shorter formats, Rahul has also produced impressive performances in Test cricket. Replacing Murali Vijay, who injured his thumb, in the second Test of the recently-concluded series against West Indies, Rahul struck 158 in Indias first innings total of 500. It was his third Test century. He followed up the ton in Jamaica with a brisk half century in the Third Test in St. Lucia.Rahul is now expected to be Indias first-choice opener in the upcoming series against New Zealand, starting on September 22 in Kanpur. Rahul said the reason for his success has been in keeping things simple irrespective of the format. He also credited his Test and Royal Chhallengers captain Virat Kohli for being an inspiration both on and off the field.ddddddddddddWe feel lucky we dont have to look too far, the guy who inspires you is sitting right next to you in the dressing room, he said. The level of commitment that he (Kohli) has shown, the discipline and work ethics, the way he has been so disciplined with his fitness, nutrition and diet, that is something that has inspired all of us. If you come into the dressing room now you see how all the boys are so disciplined. Hes helped me in shaping my career. When I came into Test cricket, I was good but not as good as I am now. Virat has helped me with my preparation, mindset and he has given me a lot of confidence.It is really strange but there is no mental switch that I make. If you saw the innings in St. Lucia, I got a 50 in 56 balls (65) or something opening the innings when the ball was doing a little bit. I try to keep things very simple. I go into the field, try to assess the pitch and the situation, see what are the best shots I can play and what is the best approach to have on that day.While playing for Royal Challengers, Rahul was also given the task of keeping wickets. Having performed the role in junior cricket as well, Rahul said he will be ready if asked to keep for India.I know this (wicket-keeping) challenge can be thrown at me, thats why I have started working a lot harder on my fitness because keeping will demand different sort of fitness, he said. If I have to keep and bat, it will take a lot out of my body. So I have started to train harder and focus on eating right and whatever helps recover my body, I am trying to take care of that. It helps to have great support staff to look after you, they guide as well. I am sure the gloves will come on at some point. I will be ready and I will enjoy that too.Read KL Rahuls full interview here. ' ' '
