CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was ready to see his third-ranked Tigers build momentum for the final regular-season push. He couldnt be happier with their performance against Syracuse.The Tigers (6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) improved to 9-0 for a second straight season, rolling over the Orange for a 54-0 shutout Saturday. Not even seeing Heisman Trophy contending quarterback Deshaun Watson leave the game with an injury in the first half could spoil Swinneys satisfaction over this one.For us, its just trying to stay on course and build some momentum, he said.That was not easy in October as Clemson needed fourth-quarter rallies to defeat No. 5 Louisville (42-36) and No. 19 Florida State (37-34) and sweated out a missed field goal by North Carolina State to escape that one in overtime, 24-17.Watson threw for two touchdowns, including a pretty, arcing 65-yard toss that hit Deon Cain in stride, and ran for a third in the blowout victory.Both Watson and Swinney said the bruised right shoulder was fine and would not prevent him from facing Pitt next week with a chance to clinch the ACC Atlantic Division.Watson finished with 169 yards passing and 39 rushing to keep the Tigers (6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 2 CFP) on track for the ACC title game.November is championship time, Watson said . Its time to set a new standard and set a new tone.Watson, who had a bag of ice on his right shoulder, said he felt fine and couldve kept playing.Syracuse (4-5, 2-3) had hoped to catch Clemson napping after the Tigers dramatic, 37-34 win at Florida State last week. However, any upset chances left once Orange quarterback Eric Dungey was knocked out in the first quarter following a hard hit by linebacker Dorian ODaniel. Dungey, the ACC leader in passing yards and completions per game coming in, returned from the locker room in shorts and a ball cap as backups Austin Wilson and Zack Mahoney finished up.Orange coach Dino Babers said his training staff ruled Dungey out and he had no additional update about the quarterbacks condition or how soon he might return.I do think anytime you lose your starting quarterback in an offense thats designed to pass, its going to be a dramatic change, Babers said.Syracuse was held to 277 yards of offense, including just 172 yards passing -- their second fewest this season.Clemsons Cain had two TD catches and 125 yards on five receptions. He said this game -- Clemson scored 31 points with Watson sidelined -- showed how deep the Tigers are this season. Best is the standard and our standard doesnt change, Cain said. Weve got the best of the best out there all the time.It was Clemsons first ACC shutout since defeating Miami 58-0 last year and the first time Syracuse was held without points since a 56-0 loss to Georgia Tech in 2013.Tigers linebacker Ben Boulware said Syracuses offense was fast-paced and complex so to go out there and get a shutout, thats a difficult thing to do.THE TAKEAWAYSyracuse: The Orange had come off two straight wins, but Babers program is not yet ready to take down teams like Clemson.Clemson: With their toughest regular-season games over, the Tigers are rolling much like they did down the stretch a year ago. Thats a dangerous prospect for their potential ACC title game opponent or for other national title contenders.POLL IMPLICATIONSClemson: Its status quo for the Tigers, barring a major Saturday night surprise . Despite the easy win, Clemson likely wont jump No. 2 Michigan in the Top 25 rankings or No. 1 Alabama in the CFP poll next week -- unless the Crimson Tide stumble. Clemsons path to the end, though, is much less worrisome than its two higher ranked competitors, leaving the Tigers in prime pouncing position if anyone ahead loses.RECORD SETTERSyracuse receiver Amba Etta-Tawo had nine catches, setting the schools single-season record with 75 receptions. He topped Alec Lemons mark of 72 in 2012. Etta-Tawo came into the game leading the ACC in several categories, including total receiving yards and yards per game. Etta-Tawos older brother Etta Etta-Tawo was a rising Clemson defensive lineman whose career ended early in 2006 because of medical issues.UP NEXTSyracuse: The Orange face North Carolina State next Saturday, the first of two straight games at the Carrier Dome.Clemson: The Tigers play their final ACC regular-season home game with Pittsburgh, a team it has not faced since the Panthers joined the league before the 2013 football season. . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer.

Peterson Womens Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech moved quickly to land a new athletic director, appointing former Yellow Jackets football player Todd Stansbury on Thursday to take over a program that has struggled to make its mark in the crowded Atlanta market.Stansbury served for the past year as Oregon States athletic director, and he previously ran programs at Central Florida and East Tennessee State.But Georgia Tech is where hes always wanted to be. Some two decades after he left the school where he played linebacker in the early 1980s, graduated with a degree in industrial management and served for seven years as an assistant AD under Homer Rice, Stansbury finally fulfilled that dream.The 55-year-old replaces Mike Bobinski, who was appointed Purdues athletic director last month. Paul Griffin will continue to serve as interim AD until Stansbury arrives in late November or early December, and also will assist with the transition.This is home, said Stansbury, a native of Oakville, Canada. This is where I found who I was.He takes over an athletic program that has faced budget and attendance issues; has a new mens basketball coach, Josh Pastner; and is coming off a dismal 3-9 year in football, though the Yellow Jackets did win their first three games this season heading into Thursday nights contest showdown with No. 5 Clemson.One of Stansburys most pressing concerns will be an increasingly competitive landscape when it comes to athletic facilities. Clemson recently opened a lavish new football training facility, while Georgia is building a state-of-the-art indoor practice structure.They happen to be two of Georgia Techs biggest rivals.Its important that your facilities are in sync with facilities at your competitors, but its also important that youre true to yourself and who you are, Stansbury said. Whats important is understanding who you are, what fits for you and make sure youre providing the best facilities for your coaches and student-athletes to be successful. That doesnt necessarily mean you need a waterfall in your locker room.He said his experience at Oregon State and Central Florida, both overshadowed in their own states by better-funded athletic programs, would help him deal with the challenges of competing with not only other college teams but the abundance of professional sports options in Atlanta.ddddddddddddStansbury said he will also work to enhance the Total Sports Program that Rice developed at Georgia Tech with the goal of ensuring that student-athletes were prepared for life beyond the field or court. The new AD came up with the Everyday Champions initiative in his previous jobs, though he quipped that I have a feeling its going to revert back to the Total Person Program.Stansbury said he will work to set up corporate partnerships that not only bring in much-needed revenue to the athletic program but allow executives to work with student-athletes, teaching them the skills theyll need for the business world and identifying those who might be worthy of bringing on board after they graduate.I think that will work well in Atlanta, just looking at the skyline, Stansbury said. I think there will be partners who are interested in the talent were producing.His ties to Georgia Tech actually go back to when he was 10 years old. On a vacation trip to Florida, Stansburys parents stopped by the school and let their son watch football practice. Even though he was Canadian largely focused on hockey, he knew right away thats what he wanted to do.When reports surfaced that Bobinski was leaving for Purdue, having served less than 3 1/2 years as Georgia Techs athletic director, Stansbury began getting early morning calls on the West Coast.Georgia Tech President Bud Peterson made it clear that Stansbury was the top candidate all along.I believe that this is one of those rare golden moments in life where opportunity meets ambition, Peterson said.
