hat he has a special memento he carries in his bag everywhere he goes: his fathers Los

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- When he trotted back onto the field with just over 2 minutes to play and No, 5 Louisville suddenly trailing Virginia 25-24 on Saturday, Lamar Jackson was well aware of what was at stake.Everything, he said. Our whole season. We just knew what we had to do.Jackson, as has been the case all season, did the most, engineering a 75-yard drive and capping it by floating a perfectly placed 29-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Smith with 13 seconds remaining as the Cardinals survived, 32-25.It was Jacksons fourth touchdown pass and kept the Cardinals (7-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) in the College Football Playoff picture, and couldnt have hurt the Heisman Trophy frontrunners candidacy.Virginia (2-6, 1-3) had scored with 1:57 remaining and used a 2-point conversion to take a 25-24 lead, whipping the sparse crowd at Scott Stadium into a frenzy that could only have made the task more daunting.Not for Jackson.He ran for 18 yards on the first play, hit Cole Hikutini in traffic for 5 yards on fourth-and-3, ran twice more for 16 yards before hitting Smith in the end zone with the pass over tight coverage by Juan Thornhill.I just stayed calm, Jackson said. Me being the leader of the offense, just kept a level head.So did Smith, who had just one prior reception.Once we got the ball back, I felt like we had too much time not to score a touchdown, he said.Jackson did not have one of his best days, getting sacked five times and turning the ball over twice, but still finished 24 of 41 for 361 yards. He ran 18 times for another 90 yards, and boosted his TD count to 38.His other TD tosses covered 15 yards to Jamari Staples, and 8 and 10 yards to Reggie Bonnafon.The Cavaliers had driven 75 yards in 14 plays, getting a 30-yard pass from Kurt Benkert to Keeon Johnson on fourth-and-7 to put the ball at the Cardinals 4. A TD throw to Doni Dowling on the next play and then Benkerts 2-point conversion pass to Albert Reid had put the Cavaliers ahead by a point with 1:57 left.I wanted to win and I didnt want to go to overtime, first-year Cavaliers coach Bronco Mendenhall said of the decision to go for 2, adding that he wanted his team to know he had faith in them to come though.They did, but then Jackson added one more highlight to what has been a magical season.We threw our best punch, Virginia linebacker Micah Kiser said. Got to keep throwing our best punches.THE TAKEAWAYLouisville: No style points for the Cardinals, but having Jackson makes up for a lot of problems. Penalties and dropped passes were a nuisance in the first half.Virginia: Coaches never acknowledge appreciating moral victories, but in a season of change under Mendenhall, his players had to love the confidence shown in them by going for 2 in the final minutes.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Cardinals would probably be pleased to stay where they are after needing all 60 minutes to beat a 33 1/2-point underdog, but theyd also love to see No. 12 Florida State beat No. 3 Clemson, reopening the Atlantic Division race. The Tigers hold the tiebreaker head-to-head because they beat Louisville 42-36 on Oct. 1.UP NEXT:Louisville: The Cardinals travel North for its final conference road game of the season against Boston College.Virginia: The Cavaliers go on the road for the first time in more than a month to face surprising Wake Forest.---The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Cheap Jerseys 2020 .

Baseball is considered one of the most superstitious sports, and heading into Game 7 of the World Series, you bet all fans, players and coaches arent taking any risks by switching up their routines. Whether its parking your car in the same spot for a week, not washing your lucky jersey or that special handshake you have to do every time your favorite player walks to the plate, weve all done it.?Especially for the said cursed Chicago Cubs, now isnt the time to take chances. As such, it should come as no surprise that one of those sticking to routine is Cubs manager Joe Maddon.?Ahead of Game 6, Maddon told reporters?that he has a special memento he carries in his bag everywhere he goes: his fathers Los Angeles Angels hat.When asked if he noticed any omens before the game, he said, Omens, I dont know. I did see my dads hat in my bag today. I carry mmy dads hat with me.ddddddddddddHe passed away in 2002, we won the World Series, and Ive had his old Angel hat in my bag since then. So it goes everywhere. So the one thing Im relying on today is my dad. I held onto his hat a little bit this morning, and thats probably the omen, in a sense, going into this game.Call it an omen, call it a superstition, but no matter what you call it, you cant deny its something that works for Maddon, considering it was there when the Angels won the World Series in 2002 while he was bench coach for the team. Not to mention, it was there for the Cubs Game 6 win over the Cleveland Indians?on Tuesday.At a time like this, for Maddon, that hat better be within arms reach.-- Courtney Schellin ' ' '
