LEXINGTON, Ky. http:///...r-leopard-jaune.html . -- A touchdown pass helped Teddy Bridgewater overcome one of his slowest starts in recent memory. Everything else soon fell into place for No. 7 Louisville, with a big boost from running back Senorise Perry. Perry ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns and Bridgewater overcame a shaky start to pass for 250 yards and the Cardinals scored on four consecutive drives to pull away from rival Kentucky for a 27-13 victory on Saturday. Louisvilles rebound followed a halftime tongue-lashing by coach Charlie Strong, who was upset with his offence. They responded with 339 second-half yards en route to outgaining Kentucky 492-376. "I was kind of (upset) at half because I knew we werent playing our best football," Strong said. "I had some really good words for them. ... We hadnt played our best with our offence in the first half but defensively, we had. "I knew eventually we would pick up on offence because we just have too many good players not to." Fortunately for the Cardinals, Louisvilles best player had already started making adjustments. Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker for a 13-yard touchdown just before halftime that opened things up for Louisville (3-0). The quarterback said he didnt feel like his timing was off, but conceded that he wasnt as accurate as he could have been. The point was to keep pushing. "You never carry one play into the next play," he said after completing 16 of 28 attempts. "If I throw a bad ball one play then I just try to hit the next one." Perry followed with second-half TD runs of 1 and 36 yards sandwiched around John Wallaces 21-yard field goal that provided a cushion. He finished with 100 yards on 11 carries to help the Cardinals earn their third straight Governors Cup. The Cardinals defence held Kentucky to 0 for 13 on third downs and forced three turnovers, including two in their territory on consecutive possessions to preserve a win that required more work after easy wins over Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. "Thats just good to show that we focused on the money down," Louisville middle linebacker Preston Brown said. "Third down is a big down for us. We got off the field when we needed to." Alex Montgomery caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Whitlow in the fourth quarter and Joe Mansour kicked two field goals for Kentucky (1-2). Whitlow and starting quarterback Maxwell Smith combined to complete just 17 of 37 passes for 214 yards for the Wildcats. Smith left in the third quarter after injuring his shoulder, and Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said he was unsure of his status. The Wildcats have a bye week before facing No. 18 Florida on Sept. 28. "I felt like we had a good plan," the coach said. "I felt like our guys were starting to play more aggressive, make them earn their yards. ... It was disappointing that we had a couple of turnovers. We had our opportunities." Bridgewater returned to Commonwealth Stadium for the first time since directing a 24-17 victory in 2011 that helped launch a career that includes Heisman hopes this season. He got off to a slow start as Kentuckys defence kept him and his receivers in check for much of the first half. He had just 58 yards through one quarter and looked especially out of sync in throwing behind Robert Clark after the Cardinals recovered a Whitlow fumble at the Wildcats 27. Wallace salvaged the drive with a 36-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. But Kentuckys offence couldnt take advantage as receivers dropped passes from Smith -- who took all but two snaps in the first half -- while Raymond Sanders fumbled a handoff at the Louisville 13 late in the second quarter. The turnover ended a chance for the Wildcats to tie the game after Bridgewater finally got untracked to hit a leaping Parker over two defenders in the left corner with 2:36 left in the half. "We call them ball fetchers and thats the reason why," Bridgewater said of Parker. "Just throw it up and let them go get it."Dominique Brown helped set up Louisvilles first score with five straight carries for 27 yards to the Kentucky 15. The Cardinals momentum continued into the second half as Perry sandwiched his TD runs around Wallaces 21-yard field goal for a 27-3 lead that ensured theyd be carrying the Governors Cup again. "All games are big games but this game is a little different and thats why we had to go out and prepare the way we did," Strong said. "We just had to make sure we had the focus and the confidence to believe that we could come in here and beat them." http:///...5611-chaussures.html . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. http:///...lar-bleu-m19839.html . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. http:///...haussures-rouge.html . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No.BELGRADE, Serbia -- Canada limped out of the 2013 Davis Cup semifinal with three losses to Serbia, and two bruised bodies. The Canadian teams Davis Cup run came to an end Sunday as Janko Tipsarevic beat Vasek Pospisil 7-6 (3), 6-2, 7-6 (6), giving Serbia the 3-2 win in the best-of-five tie. Pospisil was injured on the final point when he dove to hit a volley that was returned for the final point. "I went for a volley and rolled my ankle and hear some pops which obviously isnt good but that was it," said Pospisil who was helped into the post-match press conference by Canadian staff members. "My ankles swollen right now. Hopefully its nothing too serious. "The fact that I was able to walk out of there was probably a good thing." Tipsarevic took a commanding 5-1 lead in the decisive tiebreak but had trouble closing out the game until match point when he desperately dove for Pospisils shot. The euphoria for the hosts started when the ball just barely made it over the net and past a helpless Pospisil. Had he won the point and the match continued, Pospisil insists he would have played through the pain as best as possible. Canadas run to the semifinals featured upset wins over Spain and Italy and with the 23-year old Pospisil, 22-year old Milos Raonic, and doubles maestro Daniel Nestor who insists he still has a few years left despite being 41-years old, there is the core of a strong Davis Cup team for years to come. "Hopefully theyll have to deal with us a lot in the future," Pospisil said. "Were a pretty young team so thats obviously good for us. We have Milos whos 11 in the world and Im around 40 so thats good for us. "We have a lot of depth in the team and a bunch of other guys that are really good. Well see what we can do in the future." As it was in the tiebreak, so it was earlier in the final set when Tipsarevic had difficulty closing out the plucky Canadian. Tipsarevic broke Pospisil in the fourth game of the third set but faltered while serving for the match and allowed Pospisil to tie the set 5-5, giving the Canadian a glimmer of hope. Pospisil needed treatment at 2-2 in the first set for an apparent right elbow injury. He insisted it was only a mild discomfort that lasted for about 10 minutes. It was the third match oof the weekend for Pospisil after he opened the tie losing to Novak Djokovic on Friday before being part of the doubles team that won on Saturday.

Serbia is back in the final for the first time since winning the tournament in 2010. Earlier, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic forced the decider when he took down No. 11 Milos Raonic 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-2 in the first match of the day at Kombank Arena. Raonic, of Thornhill, Ont., came in with a slight ankle injury of his own that he picked up in his win over Tipsarevic on Friday. "I didnt feel limited. I just felt like I was dealing with discomfort," said Raonic in his post-match press conference. "It was getting worse and worse, little by little and I was sort of trying to put it all out there and fight through that situation as much as I could and try to pretty much nullify it in my mind and get through as much as I can." Djokovic finished the two hour, eight minute long match with some sublime shot-making in the third set. Djokovic flourished on the clay court, a surface on which Raonic has had his struggles. It was a close first set that took just over an hour with the players trading breaks in the fifth and sixth games before Djokovic took control early in the tiebreaker. "I think I made one mistake on that tiebreak to make it 5-0. So I didnt really make too many terrible errors," said Raonic. "I wish I could have not kept falling behind first. I did get break him twice but it was always when I was behind." The second was much more comfortable with Raonic getting broken in the fourth and sixth games. The small bastion of Canadian support had been loud all weekend but Djokovic used the home crowd to his advantage when Raonic had a chance to break in the fourth game of the second set. Djokovic fought off double break point and when he got back to deuce, he threw his hands into the air, imploring his compatriots to make themselves heard. They were more than happy to help, and when Djokovic won the game, he reacted with a big fist pump. The top eight teams get an automatic berth in the 2014 Davis Cup world group.
