Louisville can take a big -- no, make that huge -- step in assuming control of the ACC Atlantic Division race when it plays Clemson Saturday in one of the marquee matchups of the season.The two undefeated teams will kick off at 8 p.m. ET (ABC) at Memorial Stadium in Clemson.If the third-ranked Cardinals win, they would own victories over both of the other two teams rated as division contenders, having routed Florida State 63-20 in their meeting earlier this season. A loss to the fifth-ranked Tigers opens the way for a three-way fight among the Cardinals, Tigers, and Seminoles.The 4-0 Cardinals are already 2-0 in conference play with a win over Syracuse to go with the victory over the Seminoles. Also 4-0 overall, Clemson is 1-0 in league play with a win over Georgia Tech in its last outing.Even Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who always contends that the Tigers upcoming game is their biggest of the season, has to concede the games significance.Some games have a little more pizazz than others -- thats the biggest thing with this one, Swinney said.The Cardinals have been looking forward to it ever since whipping the Seminoles in Louisville, and its a credit to them that they avoided a letdown and demolished Marshall last week 59-28.Ive been in a predicament before when we thought about something else in the future. We ended up losing and I wasnt having that, Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson said. I wanted to focus. We wanted to win. We wanted to play Clemson and be undefeated just like them.Jackson himself wasnt satisfied with his performance, especially after being limited to 62 yards on the ground. Though he threw for 417 yards and five touchdowns, he gave himself harsh marks after the game.F, he said.Dont take any classes that Jackson teaches, with those grading standards.Clemson-Louisville should live up to its billing. The Tigers havent looked as dominating as some expected, but they are still undefeated and capable of putting up big numbers.Quarterback Deshaun Watson is again a Heisman Trophy contender, along with Jackson, and can outrun cornerbacks down the field or stop on a dime and wing it over the safeties heads. Clemson will be the fastest and most athletic team the Cardinals will see in ACC play, except perhaps during their own practices.This will be just the second game in the 74-year history of Memorial Stadium to feature two Top 5 teams. The other was three years ago when No. 3 Florida State took on the Tigers, who were No. 5 at the time. The Seminoles won that one 51-14.These are the type of games you relish having the opportunity to be a part of, Swinney said. They all count, but when you get a Top 5 matchup, those are unique. Its going to be a great night.The primary task for Clemson will be slowing down the nations most prolific offense. Behind Jackson, Louisville leads the nation in total offense (682 yards per game), scoring offense (63.5) and first downs (125).Everybodys having a hard time with him for the same reason -- hes a great player, an elite guy, Swinney said. Hes probably been the best guy in the country through four games. He leads the nation in rushing touchdowns. Youre not dealing with just another guy. This is an elite player. Were going to have to play our best.Clemson has a defense that could prove up to the task. Despite losing eight starters off last years group, coordinator Brent Venables has the Tigers defense clicking on all cylinders once again. Clemson ranks No. 3 in the country in total defense (218.5) and No. 5 nationally in scoring defense (11.0).First of all, our staff does a great job recruiting, Swinney said of the secret to that success. To have consistency you have to recruit well, then develop those guys -- thats the key. And we have the best defensive coordinator in the country. He does an incredible job. Orioles Jerseys China .

In the FIA press conference Sebastian Vettel said Verstappen needed another talking to at Fridays drivers briefing.The 18-year-old angered Vettel and fellow Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen with repeated incidents at Les Combes and more instances of moving under braking. Ricciardo believes it is important to consider Verstappens age when talking about the incidents.Youve just got to find a balance, hell find it, Ricciardo said. Hes obviously still very young, I was nowhere near Formula One at 18 years old so hes already in a different position to me. Itll come with some maturity but at the same time I think the basics for him are in the right place; he wants to fight, he wants to battle and wants to stand his own ground so its not all that bad.When asked if constant criticism will actually compound the problem with a teenagers more rebellious streak, Ricciardo agreed.Yeah, I think he will if everyone keeps giving him a hard time. I think he will because iits probably just age coming out, I know when I was -- I mean Im still immature -- but at that age youre going through a lot and youre growing up from a boy to a man, you want to be your own man, so when someone tells you to do something I think your natural reaction is to oppose it.ddddddddddddI think its just a bit of that coming out and maybe a bit of frustration after the race, I dont expect it to change night and day this weekend, perhaps it will just be refined over the course of the season.Ricciardo thinks his own recollections of the first few years in F1 prove its natural for younger drivers to take time to get used to how to race a modern F1 car.When I joined Formula One I knew that what I found is that the cars are so much faster and it took me a little while to understand where to always put the car. In racing things start coming up quicker and the slipstream is stronger, so even judging in the mirrors how quick the cars are approaching isnt always easy.I dont disagree with Kimi, but Ill give the younger drivers the benefit of the doubt for now and I trust that it will come over time with some age, whether it happens tomorrow or not, I dont know, but yeah, its not a concern.
