CLEMSON, S.C. -- James Conners smile said it all -- Pittsburgh was happy to once again shuffle up the national championship picture.Hey, sorry to do that. But we wanted this one bad, said Conner, who had two touchdowns and ran for 132 yards in the Panthers 43-42 stunner over No. 2 Clemson on Saturday.Conners 20-yard TD run with 5:17 left inched the Panthers into striking range and Chris Blewitt -- after a kiss on the cheek from coach Pat Narduzzi -- struck a perfect, 48-yard field goal with six seconds left for the winning points.Well remember this one forever, Conner said.So, too, will Clemson (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 3 AP) which saw its run at perfection halted after escaping so many other jams this season. A fourth-down stop a yard shy saved the Tigers 42-36 win over Louisville on Oct. 1. North Carolina States missed field goal at the end of regulation boosted Clemson to a 24-17 overtime win.This time, it was the Panthers (6-4, 3-3) who made the critical plays.When Clemson was driving for a touchdown already up 42-34, linebacker Saleem Brightwell picked off quarterback Deshaun Watson -- his third interception -- and returned it 70 yards to set up a 20-yard TD by Conner that drew Pitt within 42-40.When Clemson attempted to run out the clock, the Panthers defense (despite allowing 630 yards) stuffed Wayne Gallman a yard short on third and fourth downs to take over near midfield with 58 seconds left.We had a chance to put the game away and they stopped us, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. We had been making those kinds of plays this year.Nathan Peterman moved Pitt to the Clemson 30 and Blewitt steadily knocked through.It was Pitts highest-ranked win since defeating Backyard Brawl rival, No. 2 West Virginia, 13-9 in 2007 and spoiling the Mountaineers chances at playing for the national title.Our team had a lot of guts tonight, Narduzzi said.And a whole lot of playmakers to topple the defending ACC champs.Peterman had a career-best five TD passes and 308 yards. Conner rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one of Petermans scoring throws.Blewitt, who had a kick blocked at the end of the opening half, was steely eyed and ready. Narduzzi gave his senior a kiss on the cheek and sent him out for the winning kick.As soon as I saw the kick go up, I knew it was going in, Scott Orndoff said. It was jubilation.Clemson had its offense going. Watson threw for an ACC record 580 yards and three touchdowns. Gallman ran for three TDs and Mike Williams had 15 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown.In the end, it was Clemsons first loss to an unranked opponent in five seasons, a span of 46 games.Come Monday, well start over because its a long season, Watson said. Get ready for Wake Forest. Hopefully, we can clinch the ACC (Atlantic) and punch our ticket for the championship game next week.THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh: The Panthers showed that Narduzzis program is taking hold. Peterman stayed calm in the face of Clemsons strong pass rush and Conner was able to avoid the Tigers middle duo of Carlos Watkins and Dexter Lawrence to keep Pitt moving.Clemson: Many non-Tiger fans will say this team had it coming after escaping with close wins at home against No. 5 Louisville (42-36 on Oct. 1) and North Carolina State (24-17 in overtime on Oct. 15) after the Wolfpack missed the potential game-winning kick to end regulation. Clemsons path is still clear -- win out and hope its one-loss season is better than most others.POLL IMPLICATIONSExpect a rankings fall for Clemson, certainly from the top five. And theres not that much time left to make up for a loss. After Wake Forest, the Tigers face revived rival South Carolina at Death Valley before potentially heading to Orlando, Florida, for the ACC championship game.RECORD DAYWatsons passing yards broke the 21-year-old mark of Wake Forests Rusty LaRue, who passed for 545 yards against North Carolina State on Nov. 18, 1995. Watson said the record doesnt console him after the loss. Id rather go 0-for-30 with no yards and get the W, he said.SAYING GOODBYEThis wasnt the farewell Clemsons offense wanted. Watson, Gallman, Williams and receiver Artavis Scott are all juniors who were honored with Clemsons seniors Saturday after Swinney said they would all be leaving the program for the NFL after this season. Watson acknowledged wild emotions. Still, Im going to keep a smile on my face, he said.UP NEXTPittsburgh closes the year with two games at home, starting with Duke next week.Clemson will try to earn the ACC Atlantic Division title with a win at Wake Forest next Saturday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Replica Greece Jerseys .

LONDON -- Angelique Kerber will hope to replicate her Australian Open final victory over Serena Williams at Wimbledon on Saturday but perhaps not the celebration.The German jumped in the nearby Yarra River in January after shocking Williams to win her maiden Grand Slam. I think this time, no, she said, laughing, when asked whether she would take a dip in the Thames should she make it major title No.2.Kerber received a good-luck text from her German compatriot Steffi Graf -- whom she spent time training with in Las Vegas in 2015 -- after reaching the final in Melbourne.She hasnt had any messages from the 22-time Grand Slam champion ahead of Saturdays final (9 a.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN) at the All England Club, but she hardly needs them -- Kerber is much more confident in her abilities now.For sure I will be nervous like before every single match, she said. But right now I can handle it better [than I did in Australia]. When Im going on court, after the first few games, I will not be so nervous than before.Of course, its a big day for me tomorrow. I will try to go out and win it. Its always tough against Serena. But I will try to take the experience from Australia and try to be a little bit more relaxed.Kerber is well aware of the prressure on her shoulders.dddddddddddd It has been 20 years since Germany had a singles champion at Wimbledon, when Graf won the last of her seven titles here in 1996.Yeah, I know its 20 years ago. Its a long time, she said. I will try to be the next German one who wins Wimbledon.But its a long, long way still. Its another tough match before me. Im trying not thinking about this pressure; I know that when I put too much pressure on myself, I will not play my best tennis.Thats why I will go out there, try to enjoy the final and not think about everything around.Kerber was hoping it would be a German semifinal double on Thursday, but the countrys football team lost 2-0 to hosts France at Euro 2016 in Marseille.Andy Murray quipped, Its not that bad, is it? when told he was Britains last hope after Englands dismal defeat to Iceland, but Kerber is embracing the added responsibility.Yeah, I watched the game. It was not the day of the team, Kerber said. They tried everything but still they played a good tournament there.Of course, I am in the final now, and I will try to take the flag for Germany and the hopes.
