TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State has its hands full going up against Louisville dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson, and that was before the second-ranked Seminoles lost one of their most versatile defensive players.Coach Jimbo Fisher said during Mondays press conference that defensive back Derwin James was having surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee. The injury occurred during the second half of last Saturdays win over Charleston Southern .The 6-foot-3, 211-pound sophomore has emerged as one of the nations top defensive players due to his versatility. Besides playing safety, James can be a corner in nickel packages and an edge rusher in certain passing situations.Fisher said there was no structural damage to James knee but the timetable for his return is anywhere from 4-10 weeks. The absence leaves a huge void as the 2-0 Seminoles hit the road to face the No. 10 Cardinals (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).James has been very effective against mobile quarterbacks. He led the defense with eight tackles and an interception in the Sept. 5 win against then-No. 11 Mississippi.I think on the field theyll miss him with his physical abilities and leadership, Fisher said. But I think his presence on the sideline hell have those guys mentally ready to play too.Sophomore A.J. Westbrook or senior Nate Andrews are in the mix to start in place of James.Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said James is as good a player as there is in the country. James first career start came in last years game against Louisville as he had six tackles, a sack and forced fumble in a 20-point win.Petrino also noted that James got better as last season went along. The same thing can be said about Jackson.Jackson comes into this weeks game leading the nation in total offense, averaging 507 yards per game. In last Fridays win at Syracuse , the sophomore became the first player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to pass for over 400 yards and rush for over 175 in a game. His 610 yards from scrimmage set a conference single-game record.In last years game in Tallahassee, Jackson had his first 300-yard passing game with 307 yards and three touchdowns. On designed runs, he had 59 yards on 14 carries, including six runs of 6 yards or more.In my opinion hes the fastest quarterback Ive ever played against. Even at ACC media day, I told him, `Dont do all that scrambling, defensive end DeMarcus Walker said. His throwing motion has gotten better since we faced him. I can see hes worked on that. For us preparation is going to be key.In the 27 drives that Jackson has played in the first two games, he has led the Cardinals to points on 18. Eight of those possessions have been three plays or fewer.The Seminoles were effective last year against Jackson in getting pressure. They had five sacks and also had an interception.This season Florida State already has nine sacks, which is tied for third in the nation. The one area where they have struggled though is limiting big plays. The Seminoles have already allowed 11 pass plays of 20 yards or more, which is tied for third most in the nation.Were going to have to do a good job in our pass protection, were going to have to good job being exactly where were supposed to be on our routes, and then we have to be accurate throwing the ball, Petrino said. Theres going to be tight, close coverage, and weve got to be able to run and pass.---AP Sports Writer Gary B.

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Keibert Ruiz Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal.Ronnie OSullivan says he passed up the chance of a 147 at the Welsh Open, claiming the £10,000 prize money on offer was too cheap. In the final frame of his 4-1 win over Barry Pinches at Cardiffs Motorpoint Arena, the five-time world champion was on course for the 14th maximum of his career having potted 13 reds and blacks.Off the 14th red, though, he played a simple positional shot onto the pink despite having made several audacious shots earlier in the break to return to the black. He duly cleared up for the more unusual feat of a 146 break and an imposing, but beatable, marker for the tournament high-break prize.OSullivan left the arena with a broad grin and then told BBC Wales: I could have got on the black and possibly made a 147. OSullivan did not think the maximum-break prize money was sufficient I knew it was 10 grand and I just thought thats a bit too cheap really.dddddddddddd To make a maxi, its such a massive achievement and if theyre going to pay us 10 grand, I think its worth a bit more than that.Once the prize goes up a bit, Ill go for the 147. A 146 is just as good!The prize for a 147 is calculated on a rollover basis, with £5,000 added to the pot in each tournament. Neil Robertson made the most recent maximum in Decembers UK Championship final, winning £44,000 including the £4,000 prize for the tournament high break.
