SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- After falling behind early, Syracuse was trying to rally in the third quarter against No. 13 Louisville, and the Carrier Dome crowd was alive as the Cardinals faced a third-and-18.Lamar Jackson then did what he does best.The Cardinals elusive sophomore quarterback ripped off a 33-yard run to again stun the Orange on a night of big plays. Louisville didnt extend its lead, but in the end it didnt matter.Jackson ran for four touchdowns and threw for another, and the Cardinals routed Syracuse 62-28 on Friday night in the ACC opener for both teams. Jackson tallied 610 total yards, the most by a player in a game in ACC history.?He had a great game, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. What I was most pleased with was how well he prepared for the game. He worked extremely hard all week. He did a great job executing. He threw the ball around and ran real well. He did a great job of everything we asked him to do.Jackson, the national offensive player of the week for his performance in the opener against Charlotte, a 70-14 victory, picked up right where he left off. He hit a wide-open James Quick for a 72-yard score on the games first play from scrimmage to put the Orange defense on its heels.The elusive Jackson followed with a dazzling 72-yard touchdown run, and he also hit Jaylen Smith for 61 yards and Jamari Staples for 55 in the opening spree.Im not sure anybody could catch him, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. You get mad because they couldnt catch the guy. Hes the fastest guy on the football field. He got into space. I saw him outrun contain with three guys who were exactly where they were supposed to be. He should have got tackled for a 2-yard loss, and he runs all the way to the other sideline and steps out of bounds.Jackson, who was rarely pressured by a Syracuse defense that was content to lay back, also scored on runs of seven, 72 and 13 yards to give Louisville a 28-7 lead after one quarter. He had 108 yards rushing and 207 yards passing as the Cardinals (2-0) outgained the Orange 352-98 in the period, then tacked on a 9-yard scoring run in the second for a 35-7 lead. That was one for the highlight reels, with Jackson displaying hurdler-like ability with a leap over a Syracuse defender at the goal line.I had to take flight, score and get into the end zone, Jackson said. I think I did something like that in high school. I feel like I can score [on any play]. I feel I can get my team in the end zone on any play.Jackson finished with 199 yards rushing on 21 carries and was 20-for-39 passing for 411 yards with one interception as the Cardinals set a school record and came within 13 yards of the ACC record with 845 yards offensively. It was the most ever allowed by Syracuse, eclipsing the mark of 654 by West Virginia in 1993.Eric Dungey was 25-for-51 for 255 yards passing and scored on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter for the Orange.Syracuse (1-1) tried to claw its way back with a pair of scores late in the second, both by wideout Amba Etta-Tawo in the final three minutes of the period.In the opener against Charlotte, Jackson accounted for eight touchdowns and 405 yards in the first half, then sat the second. No breather on this hot night inside the Carrier Dome.The Cardinals moved up six spots in the AP poll after their lopsided victory over Charlotte. Jackson accounted for a stunning 405 yards and eight touchdowns, six passing in the first half of that game. Another jump is on the way next week.THE TAKEAWAYLOUISVILLE: The Cardinals proved the opening week was no fluke. Theyre for real, and as long as Jackson stays healthy, the Atlantic Division promises to be more interesting. Jacksons only concern on offense might be his receivers, who had six drops in the first half and more in the second.STAT LINE: Louisville averaged 10.4 yards per play.HE SAID IT: I did good, I guess, but I still have some improvement. I threw a lot of bad balls. Lot of bad reads, but I think I did alright. -- Lamar JacksonSYRACUSE: The defense wasnt tested in the opener against FCS Colgate. After facing Louisville, the Orange have a lot of work ahead on both sides of the ball, but they showed some grit by not caving under the early barrage. The up-tempo offense of Babers gained 426 yards and ran 93 plays, and the Orange have found a go-to guy in Etta-Tawo, who has 19 catches for 314 yards in two games. The Orange also could use some semblance of a run game after gaining just 104 yards on 39 carries, its second straight subpar performance.UP NEXTLOUISVILLE: The Cardinals get their first true test of the young season when they host No. 3 Florida State on Sept. 17.SYRACUSE: The Orange host South Florida on Sept. 17, their third straight home game.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?

SINGAPORE -- Bookmakers might have offered crazy odds at the start of the year that Angelique Kerber and Dominika Cibulkova would feature in the end-of-season championship, but it shouldnt come as a complete surprise after whats transpired in 2016.After all, Kerber has been the best player in the world, finishing the year ranked No. 1. Cibulkova has been the most improved player this season, officially named as the WTAs Comeback Player of the Year.With both victorious Saturday in Singapore, the unlikely finale will take place Sunday on ESPN2 & WatchESPN, 7:30 a.m. ET.The pair have already played each other nine times, with Kerber leading their head-to-head meetings 5-4, although those numbers are somewhat misleading. Cibulkova won the first four, but Kerber the past five, including their round-robin meeting last Sunday.Its a little bit weird to play against one opponent twice in one tournament, Kerber said to the media afterward. This never happened before for me. But Im looking forward to play against her. The first match here was really tight and close, and she has a lot of confidence from the last two matches she won. She has nothing to lose, so I think it will be a good match and final from both of us.However, if current form is a reliable guide, Kerber should win hands down. The 28-year-old may be a late bloomer, but the German is at the peak of her powers and oozing with confidence. Unbeaten in her four matches to date, and getting better with each outing on Singapores indoor hard courts, she crushed defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-1 in the semifinals.She had an answer for everything, Radwanska said. Shes not giving anything for free. Thats what makes her one of the best players in the world and the best this year.For Cibulkova, she won a hard-fought match against Svetlana Kuznetsova 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4.While the absence of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova has robbed the tournament of two of its biggest stars, another two of the all-time greats are embracing the emergence of new names.This is how were going to form some new rivalries, formerr world No.dddddddddddd 1 Chris Evert said in a news conference in Singapore. The women are just coming to play it out and were going to see new winners every week. Theres variety in depth, different age groups and styles of play, so I think were entering a new era for sure.Cibulkova made the final the hard way. Runner-up at the 2014 Australian Open, the Slovakian missed a large chunk of 2015 through injury and was wallowing at 66th in the world rankings in February.Her confidence was so low that she booked her own wedding for the same day as this years Wimbledon final. When she surprised herself by making the quarterfinals, she almost postponed her nuptials, but a rare welcome defeat saw her make it to the church on time to tie the knot.One of the shortest players on the tour, Cibulkova has always had to fight for everything shes achieved. She needed to win this months Linz Open in Austria just to qualify for Singapore. There she got off to a rotten start, but luck has been with her in the past few days. The round-robin format of the WTA Finals often throws up some quirky results because it offers second chances. Or in Cibulkovas case, a third chance.The 27-year-old lost her first two matches but made it to the last four when she won her final encounter against Simona Halep in straights sets. Kerber then helped Cibulkova out by beating Madison Keys in two sets, even though the German was already through to the semifinals.Cibulkova was in plenty of trouble against Kuznetsova on Saturday, losing the opening set and falling a break behind in the third. But Cibulkova fought back, giving her hope she can find a way to topple Kerber.We played our first match this year here and I lost, but it was a great match, Cibulkova said. I couldnt wish for nothing more than to play against her in the final and have my revenge in the final. But yeah, it will be extremely tough. She is world No. 1 and having a great season, playing [unbelievably] well. ' ' '
