CLEMSON, S.C. -- No. 3 Clemson used a dramatic win at home over Notre Dame last year to kick start its run to the Atlantic Coast Conference title and the College Football Playoff. The Tigers 42-36 victory over No. 7 Louisville on Saturday night looks like a similar boost -- and the Tigers appear to have few hurdles on the way back to the top.My mind is on the national championship, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson said.Watson proved that against the Cardinals (4-1, 2-1 ACC), who overcame a 28-10 deficit to lead 36-28 in the final period. Thats when Watson, a Heisman Trophy favorite entering the season, took over by leading the Tigers (5-0, 2-0) to two touchdowns and throwing the last of his five TDs to wide open tight end Jordan Leggett with 3:14 to go for the winning points.Clemsons defense withstood a final push by Louisville, whose drive ended a yard short of a first down with 33 seconds to go. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney called it Clemson tough.Were built for games like this, he said.These Tigers may be built for even more -- and theres little to slow down another run to the playoffs.Clemson, which moved up two spots in the AP Top25 , has a stronghold on the ACC Atlantic Division, needing to lose at least twice to open the door for Louisville to play in the conference title game in Orlando, Florida.The Tigers got a similar drama-filled win over the Fighting Irish , 24-22, when defensive tackle Carlos Watkins stopped quarterback Deshone Kizer short on a tying 2-point conversion at the end. Clemsons offense took off after the victory, averaging more than 44 points and 554 yards a game the rest of the way.Even though we hadnt been playing our best before the game or during the game, our guys never gave up their belief, co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said. They believed in each other that they could get it done.Like in 2015, the Tigers biggest regular-season hurdle appears to be Oct. 29 at Florida State, which was pummeled by Louisville last month and fell to North Carolina on an improbable 54-yard field goal as time expired. Clemson has not won in Tallahassee, Florida, since 2006 and dropped its last game there, 23-17, in overtime when Watson took over as the teams starting quarterback.Clemson starts the rest of its season Friday night at Boston College, which has not beaten the Tigers since 2010. The Tigers other remaining ACC foes -- North Carolina State, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest -- are a combined 0-11 against Clemson over the past four years.Pitt has not faced Clemson since joining the ACC.Theres also Clemsons yearly season-closer with rival South Carolina. Just a few years ago, the Gamecocks had won five straight against the Tigers but dont appear to have the offense in coach Will Muschamps first year to hand with Clemsons playmakers.The ACC title game could mean rematches from a year ago with Miami (58-0 Clemson win) or North Carolina (45-37 victory in the league championship). Or maybe Virginia Tech, which moved into the rankings at No. 25.There are plenty of things to clean up. Watson had four turnovers (a fumble and a career-high three interceptions) against Louisville. Clemsons defense bottled up Lamar Jackson and held the Cardinals to 205 yards in the opening half, then gave up 26 points on five straight second-half possessions to surrender the lead.Louisville put up 568 yards, more than Clemsons allowed to anyone over the past two season including to Alabama in the 45-40 national championship loss last January.Swinney said that like last year, the Tigers are far from a finished product. Nor do they have to be right now. Its a long season of ebbs and flows- and Swinney likes the flow his team has going right now.At the end of the day, you either have the heart or you dont, Swinney said. You have the will to win or you dont. What can you say? Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet .

"Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Cam Bedrosian has the arm and confidence to be a future closer. The bloodlines, too.Just over 34 years after 1987 NL Cy Young Award winner Steve Bedrosian earned his first career save, his son closed out his first game Tuesday night in the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics.With Huston Street placed on the disabled list earlier in the day with a sore right knee, the Angels called on their young right-hander in the ninth. The 24-year-old struck out the side in order.Ive been looking forward to this for a while now, Bedrosian said. Its awesome to get the first one out of the way.In a game where all the runs came via five home runs, the Angels made their two homers matter the most.After Khris Davis and Coco Crisp hit solo home runs off Matt Shoemaker (6-11), the Angels tied it on Jett Bandys two-run homer against Sean Manaea (3-6) in the fifth and then took the lead for good on a three-run homer from Jefry Marte in the sixth.Manaea had posted a 2.65 ERA in six games since coming off the disabled list with a strained left forearm. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs (four earned), six hits and three walks.Early in the game he looked really good, like weve seen him when hes at his best, As manager Bob Melvin said. Other than a couple of pitches, I thought he was pretty consistent.Shoemaker went seven innings for the Angels. He wasnt dominant (six hits, three walks, four strikeouts), but only allowed the two solo home runs. In his last seven starts at home, hes posted a 1.03 ERA.Its home, he said. Fans are on your side. You pitch here more so youre more comfortable here for the most part. You dont know how to explain those things.Davis has 27 homers this season -- already matching his career high set last year with Milwaukee -- and eight since the All-Star break.It seems like hes more and more confident up there as the season goes on, Melvin said. Anytime you switch leagues, theres a little bit of an adjustment period. He struggled a bit early, but sinnce then hes been as good as any power-hitter in the league.ddddddddddddDavis was hitting just .214 with eight home runs after the seasons first 35 games, but has hit .275 with 19 home runs since.The As were able to pull within a run in the eighth when Yonder Alonso hit a two-run home run off JC Ramirez, but in the ninth the Angels turned to Bedrosian. He struck out Max Muncy, Crisp and Jed Lowrie to earn the save.Bedrosian has been on an impressive roll prior to Tuesday. He has struck out eight consecutive batters overall and has not allowed a run in his last 25 appearances.Cams been awesome, Street said. Ive been impressed with him all year long. He has a great head on his shoulders and his stuff is obviously there. He has the right mindset and makeup. It was really cool to see him get his first one tonight.The Angels have now won nine of their last 11 games at home. They are 11-6 since the All-Star break.The win pushed the Angels one game ahead of the As in the AL West cellar.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: Melvin said catcher Josh Phegley, on the disabled list since July 2 with a strained right knee, is participating in all baseball drills but still not comfortable going in and out of a crouch. Its the second time this season hes been on the DL with strained right knee.Angels: RHP Mike Morin was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Manager Mike Scioscia said he will go with a committee at closer with Street out. Street had an MRI Tuesday that showed no structural damage. He had a cortisone injection.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Kendall Graveman (7-7) had a career-high winning streak snapped at six games in his last outing against Cleveland. He is 6-1 with a 3.34 ERA over his last 11 starts.Angels: RHP Jered Weaver (8-8) began to salvage an erratic season in July (2-1, 3.57 ERA). He will face the As for the third time this year and is 14-11 with a 2.73 ERA against the As for his career. ' ' '
