BOSTON -- Louisville will eventually need some help to get back into the College Football Playoff conversation.In the meantime, the fifth-ranked Cardinals (7-1, 5-1 ACC) would help themselves out a lot by showing the committee they are still the dominant offense they were earlier this season.Saturdays matchup with Boston College (4-4, 1-4), which has the conferences top-ranked defense, would go a long way toward that.Despite needing a late touchdown to avoid an upset at Virginia last week, Louisville still has the nations top-ranked offense, scoring 50 points per game. Heisman Trophy candidate Lamar Jackson is also showing no signs of slacking off, with 38 total touchdowns on the season.But running back Brandon Radcliff said one thing last week taught them is that no team is going to lay down for them.We hear a lot of defenses they say are aggressive or whatnot, but we take everybody the same, he said. We cant take one opponent lightly because we could be in a dogfight in a minute.The Cardinals have won the last three meetings with the Eagles, but have split the four meetings at BCs Alumni Stadium. A Cardinals victory would mark the first time Louisville has started 8-1 since 2013.In last years meeting, which Louisville won 17-14, Boston Colleges defense was able to hold Jackson to just 15 yards on 14 carries and one rushing touchdown. It was the Cardinals defense that came up big, scoring off a 45-yard fumble return.Boston College coach Steve Addazio said he expects Jackson to be a lot more difficult to contain this year, but his team cant just focus on containing the quarterback.I think thats the problem for everybody right now, Addazio said. You have to have your focus on him, but when you do that, youre in trouble all over the field.Here are some other things to watch for on Saturday:FINDING CONFIDENCEAddazio said the biggest thing that came out Boston College breaking its ACC drought at N.C. State last week -- the Eagles first conference win since 2014 -- was that his young team gained some much-needed confidence.Its been hard and frustrating as we develop this team, but I love this team and believe in this team completely, Addazio said. While thats one game, and while we know what we have ahead of us here, we also know that what we see is real and it validates.LANDRYS WORLDThe Eagles will need a big effort from defensive end Harold Landry if they are going to slow down the Cardinals attack. Last weeks co-ACC defensive player of the week is putting up some of the best numbers of his career this season. He currently is tied for the national lead for sacks with nine, and also is tied for the NCAA lead with five forced fumbles. He has recorded 29 tackles on the year and 11 tackles for a loss.MILESTONE WATCHJackson enters the game with 3,520 yards of total offense on the season to go with 38 total touchdowns (22 passing, 16 rushing). He is 4 yards short of becoming the first quarterback in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.NUMBERS GAMEThe Cardinals have scored at least 50 points five times in 2016. BCs defense has been stout, but has let a few games get away. The Eagles lost 49-0 at Virginia Tech in September and 56-10 to Clemson last month.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Cheap Air Max 270 Canada Outlet .

CHICAGO -- Star closer Aroldis Chapman joined the Cubs on Tuesday, arriving to a mixed reaction in Chicago and saying he couldnt remember what management told him about off-field expectations and behavior.After Chapmans awkward introductory news conference, Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein insisted Chapman understands what the Cubs expect of him after an offseason domestic violence incident.When the Cubs announced the trade with the New York Yankees on Monday, the team released a statement from Chairman Tom Ricketts saying they were aware of his 29-game suspension to begin the season under Major League Baseballs new domestic violence policy.Ricketts said he and Epstein talked by phone with Chapman before the deal was completed and shared with him the high expectations we set for our players, adding that Chapman was comfortable with them.But when asked repeatedly about that phone conversation before Tuesdays game against the crosstown White Sox, Chapman said through an interpreter that he couldnt recall details because he was taking a nap at the time the call came in.The question was asked several more times. A Cubs spokesman once asked the question himself to the interpreter, coach Henry Blanco.Its been a long day, Chapman said. Trying to remember.Asked again several minutes later during the group interview if he could now remember what Ricketts said, Chapman shook his head.I still dont remember, he said in Spanish.Epstein called it a misunderstanding and that Chapman was pretty nervous as he faced seven cameras and more than two dozen reporters.I was on the call, Tom was on the call, Aroldis was on the call and Barry Praver, his agent, was on the call. It happened and it was real, Epstein said before the Cubs 3-0 loss to the White Sox.Chapman was accused of choking his girlfriend and firing eight gunshots in the garage of a Florida home in October. The woman later changed her story and no charges were filed.You learn from the mistakes that you make, Chapman said.The case caused the Los Angeles Dodgers to back out of an offseason trade for Chapman. Cincinnati eventually traded him to the Yankees, and after his suspension, the 28-year-old Cuban converted 20 of 21 save chances for New York.The Cubs have long boasted of stocking their roster with hhigh-character players, helping earn the lovable losers label theyve carried for decades since their last World Series title in 1908.dddddddddddd.But the Cubs (59-40) have retooled their roster under Epstein and have the best record in the major leagues despite Tuesdays loss in which Chapman didnt pitch. Chapman, who threw a 105 mph fastball last week, fills perhaps the teams largest hole as he replaces Hector Rondon as closer.The Cubs sent four players to the Yankees, including shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, to get one of the games top relievers. Epstein said they wouldnt have made the deal if not for the phone call he and Ricketts had with Chapman.Tom laid out the exact same standards that he lays out to everyone in spring training, Epstein said. He said, extremely clearly, `Look, Aroldis, I tell all the players this in spring training and its important you hear it and I need to hear from you on this. We expect our players to behave. We hold our players to a very high standard for their behavior off the field. And we need to know you can meet that standard.Aroldis said `I understand. Absolutely, I can.The Cubs activated Chapman before Tuesdays game and designated left-hander Clayton Richard for assignment.Reaction to Chapmans acquisition in Chicago has been tepid. While there were supportive fans on talk radio, the Chicago Tribune carried a front-page column Tuesday criticizing the move. The back of the Chicago Sun-Times tabloid read Spin City over a picture of Epstein.Chapman said he expected a good reaction from Cubs fans. He was also asked during the 20-minute meeting with reporters in the visiting dugout at U.S. Cellular Field if we would consider working with organizations looking to prevent domestic violence. Chapman said no.Cubs manager Joe Maddon defended Chapman.He did do a suspension, he has talked about it, hes shown remorse, Maddon said. Everybody else has the right to judge him as a good or bad person. Thats your right.I want to get to know Aroldis. I think he could be a very significant member and hes got the potential, yes, to throw the last out of the World Series. And if he does, I promise you I will embrace him. ' ' '
