In a story Oct. John Matuszak Raiders Jersey . 7 about Louisvilles bye week, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 306 yards and a career-high three interceptions with a fumble in a loss at Clemson. Jackson threw for 295 yards with one interception.A corrected version of the story is below:No. 7 Louisville welcomes bye after loss to No. 3 ClemsonSeventh-ranked Louisville welcomes some down time after briefly being part of the national title discussionBy GARY B. GRAVESAP Sports WriterSeventh-ranked Louisville welcomes some down time after slipping out of the national title discussion.Plenty of time remains for the Cardinals to be reconsidered, though, and much now depends on how they and Heisman Trophy front-runner Lamar Jackson rebound from last Saturdays loss to No. 3 Clemson.Coach Bobby Petrino said this weeks bye comes at a good time for Louisville (4-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). Besides allowing players to heal from a grueling opening stretch that included complete domination of then-No. 2 Florida State and a tough 42-36 loss at Clemson, the Cardinals get to regroup and figure out how to run the table.Even with the loss, theyre obviously in a better place one year after entering the break 2/3 and trying to salvage a season.Weve had a very grueling schedule and a lot of intensity, a couple of huge, huge games, Petrino said this week. So I think its a good opportunity for us to settle in and get our schoolwork done and everything we need to do with class work, get back to technique and fundamentals, kind of go back to half of the practice being camp practice where you go ones-on-ones and work hard on it.Then, some of your guys are able to heal up, he said. So, for us its a great time for our bye.Especially since it allows Jackson to recharge and follow up his dynamic start.Any discussion of the Heisman has begun with the 6-3, 204-pound sophomore, who has passed and rushed for 14 touchdowns each and combined for 2,313 yards. The national leader in several offensive categories has room for improvement after throwing an interception at Clemson, but his leadership showed as he finished with 295 yards passing and positioned Louisville to have one final chance that fell a yard short on fourth down.The frustrated look on Jacksons face after his mistakes spoke volumes about his desire to get it right, an attitude he has shown in workouts this week.Well mess up a play and Lamar will immediately come back with, `Lets do it again, Louisville wide receiver Jaylen Smith said on Petrinos weekly radio show. You have to want to be perfect.The Cardinals task now is a perfect finish they hope will keep them on the radar for the four-team playoff. Their remaining schedule seems favorable toward regaining that dominance.Louisville hosts Duke on Oct. 14 in the first of five straight ACC games before the Cardinals visit No. 6 Houston in a non-conference showdown on Nov. 17 that could shape their playoff prospects. That conference docket certainly isnt easy, with North Carolina State, Boston College and Wake Forest all boasting winning records.Overtaking Clemson to win the Atlantic Division would require two losses by the Tigers, an unlikely scenario considering they seem energized by clearing their toughest challenge to date. Louisville remains unfazed and challenged to improve on offense, defense and special teams and play its best football from here on.Weve got a lot of pride on our team, Petrino said, and guys were able to watch the (Clemson) video and know that we competed extremely hard. (We) just had 15 or 20 plays in there, where if we make one of them, the outcomes different.Were going to stick together as a team, have a great attitude and continue to work hard and try to improve, the coach added.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Gary B.

Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor gets a second crack at besting Nate Diaz?on Saturday in a welterweight contest at UFC 202 in Las Vegas.The first bout came together at the last minute, but fans have been forced to wait longer than expected for the rematch. In their first fight, both fighters used a hyper-offensive style, and Diaz took home the second-round submission victory.While the fighters are similar, its the following statistical categories where they differ that could determine the winner.Significant strikes landed per minuteDuring his UFC career, McGregor has landed 5.74 significant strikes per minute. That rate currently sits as the seventh-best rate of all time. Despite suffering his first defeat in the Octagon against Diaz, McGregor did not have trouble landing strikes. Against Diaz, he landed 6.63 significant strikes per minute, which is 20 percent higher than his career rate going into the fight.Prior to UFC 196, Diaz landed 4.2 significant strikes per minute, but against McGregor, he nearly doubled that rate and landed 8.37. McGregor is used to landing at an extraordinary clip. However, the hyper-offensive style could leave him open to meaningful reprisals against Diaz for the second time.Striking accuracy/defenseNeither McGregor nor Diaz has very impressive striking defense. Their opponents have landed 41 and 44 percent of their significant strikes, respectively. However, both fighters make up for this on the offensive end. Both McGregor (44 percent) and Diaz (43 percent) are above average in terms of striking accuracy.In their first fight, both fighters landed 37 percentt of their significant strikes in the first round. Ronnie Lott Raiders Jersey. The second round was a different story as defense seemingly went out the window. That tactic favored Diaz. While McGregors striking accuracy increased to 50 percent, Diaz landed 60 percent of his significant strikes and finished the fight. McGregor should avoid entering into a brawl with the Stockton native and employ a technical striking strategy from the outside.SubmissionsWith his ninth submission victory over McGregor, Diaz moved ahead of Frank Mir, Charles Oliveira and Demian Maia into sole possession of second place on the all-time list of most submission wins in UFC history. His 24 submission attempts are also third most all time. Diaz averages 1.57 submission attempts per 15 minutes, which is third best among all ranked welterweights and lightweights. All three of McGregors career losses have come via submission. Diaz showed off a big advantage in the submission game in their first fight, and it will likely play out similarly if they end up on the ground again.Average fight timeMcGregors string of quick finishes has resulted in an extremely low average fight time of 6 minutes, 1 second. Diaz, on the other hand, has an average time of 10:53. The Cesar Gracie-trained fighter has been stopped only twice in 29 straight fights. The first McGregor-Diaz fight lasted 9:12, and it seemed as if Diaz was the more durable fighter. If the contest turns into a prolonged affair, it almost certainly favors Diaz.
