CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Lamar Jackson and No. 5 Louisville were less than two minutes away from having all their team goals wiped out in a loss to huge underdog Virginia.But Jackson had even more at stake. Besides his national championship aspirations, his Heisman Trophy worthiness demanded he rally the Cardinals.That he came through surprised no one on Louisville.Hes really calm, and really confident. Focused, coach Bobby Petrino said. Hes a great competitor.Louisville trailed 25-24 after Virginia scored with 1:57 left and successfully converted a 2-point conversion, with quarterback Kurt Benkert hitting Albert Reid, whipping to crowd at Scott Stadium into a frenzy.After a touchback on the ensuing kickoff, Jackson and the Cardinals went to work.Lamar came into the huddle smiling and stuff, so I mean, everybody just knew what we had to do, wide receiver Reggie Bonnafon, who already had two touchdown catches, said. Its up to you to execute it.Jackson started the critical drive with an 18-yard run.After a 7-yard run by Brandon Radcliff, Jackson had a pass batted down at the line, then threw too low for Jeremy Smith on third down, setting up a fourth-and-3. The crowd got loud, sensing a huge upset.Youve got to stay focused, he said. If you get out of your element and let the crowd get to you and let the defense harsass you, you might blow the game, and were not having that. Thats not what were trying to do here.On fourth down, he hit Cole Hikitini for 5 yards, keeping the drive alive at Virginias 45.Jackson took off on the next play, gaining nine yards, and again on the next, gaining seven.Louisville called timeout. There were 18 seconds remaining.When the teams lined up for the next play, everyone on the Cardinals knew where the ball was going. Virginia was in one-on-one coverage with Jaylen Smith of the right side. It automatically meant fade route in the end zone.The only thing left was for Jackson to make the throw.He threw it to a spot where only I could get it and the DB had no chance to get it, Smith said of the catch, with Juan Thornhill in coverage. Those are the little things that make Lamar the best quarterback in the country.As the Cardinals headed off the field, Petrino found, and hugged, his quarterback.Im not sure what I said, he said later. I probably said, `I love you man.Even after a loss at No. 3 Clemson, Jacksons ability to dominate games has made him the Heisman Trophy favorite. He threw four touchdown passes at Virginia, but was in danger of having the first three matter little if the Cardinals lost as 33.5-point favorites. The final drive, though, turned a bad day into a good one.Petrino, though, isnt sure he needs to promote his players Heisman credentials.Im not that sure we have to say a whole lot because of his play and his stats and everything that hes done speaks for itself, the coach said afterward. I havent seen anybody better, but then again, I dont see everybody.Thats the thing thats upsetting to me is when someone says, `This is the greatest player. This is that. This is this. You dont see everybody. I dont see anybody out west. I dont see anybody up north where its freezing cold and windy. I see Lamar, and I cant imagine theres somebody better than he is.---The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Wholesale Adidas NMD UK . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. WACO, Texas -- Baylor senior cornerback Ryan Reid sometimes texts teammates out of the blue to ask what theyre doing.After a fraught offseason when the 23rd-ranked Bears lost their head coach, the outreach is part of an effort to build chemistry -- and prevent more missteps off the field.One thing we do, we try to keep everybody out of trouble, Reid said. I think we take the extra step to keep everybody on the right path. And I think thats just going to make us a better football player ... to see our leaders just taking the extra step to make this team better.Seth Russell, a senior quarterback who was the top-rated FBS passer before a season-ending neck injury last October, said the Bears are looking forward to talking football and winning games while trying to build a culture of high character.Thats what were doing right now, Russell said. Were sticking together each and every day. Were growing closer as a unit, as a team.Its been three months since the release of a 13-page report detailing an independent investigation that determined the school mishandled complaints of sexual assault against some players.Art Briles was suddenly gone after eight seasons, a span in which the team went from routine Big 12 bottom dweller to two conference titles, six straight bowl games and the verge of the College Football Playoff.Athletic director Ian McCaw resigned and school President Ken Starr was demoted. Starr last week severed his final tie with the school by resigning his post as a law school professor.Russell was with other athletes from the private Baptist school on a mission trip in Brazil when the report was released and Briles was immediately removed as coach.Russell faced plenty of uncertainty when he returned home the following week, and the team has different challenges than normal as it prepares for its opener Sept. 2 at home against Northwestern State.Its night and day II feel like, Russell said.dddddddddddd Were going to get faced with adversity. But you have to come out and take advantage of every opportunity you have on the field, because you never know when that opportunity will be taken away.The Bears are down to about 70 scholarship players after some summertime departures, including backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Only half of their highly touted signing class from last spring is now on the team.Everybody just knows that the chemistry that we have, it has to be greater than ever before, Reid said.Acting coach Jim Grobe was hired to replace Briles and kept all the assistant coaches even after being given authority to make changes, saying he wanted to keep as much continuity as possible for the players on the field. Briles was the only coach fired even though the report concluded multiple football coaches acted inappropriately in handling sexual assault allegations against some players.Grobe has already had to deal with other off-field issues, too.Offensive lineman Rami Hammad, an expected starter at right guard, was suspended earlier this month and is no longer listed on the roster after his arrest on a felony stalking charge in a case involving his ex-girlfriend this summer.That was before video surfaced of sophomore receiver Ish Zamora beating a dog with a belt while training it this summer. Without being specific, Grobe has promised that Zamora is going to get disciplined by a bunch of people after his misdemeanor charge for molesting an animal. Zamora, expected to be one of the teams top receivers, has been practicing but could lose playing time.The only thing we can do is win games. Stay off the front page, Reid said. If its the front page, its the front page about football. Thats all we can do. ' ' '
