LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- So much for the notion that No. 5 Louisvilles path would be smoother since its only loss at Clemson.Yes, the Cardinals have blown out North Carolina State and Boston College, but only after being tested by Duke and Virginia respectively. Louisville (8-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 6 CFP) now hosts improved Wake Forest (6-3, 3-2), which looks to beat a ranked opponent a week after becoming bowl eligible for the first time since 2011.After edging the Demon Deacons 20-19 last season on the road, Louisville expects another battle Saturday night from a team featuring familiar faces on defense.Its the same team we played last year, Louisville sophomore right tackle Lakayus McNeil said. We just have to make sure we step up our game. Its different from when we played them last year because we were young and didnt know exactly what to do. This year, were going to play harder because were smarter.The Cardinals 52-7 rout of BC helped them move up a spot in the College Football Playoff rankings and they want to keep the committees attention with another dominant effort led by Heisman Trophy favorite Lamar Jackson.Louisvilles sophomore quarterback accounted for seven touchdowns against the Eagles to raise his nation-leading TD total to 45. Wake Forest is allowing just 18.4 points per game is prepared to offer more resistance to Jackson, especially after forcing three turnovers in last weeks 27-20 win over Virginia .Were ready for the challenge, Demon Deacons defensive end Duke Ejiofor said of facing Jackson. Were so excited to play Louisville. ... No fear here.---Some other things to watch as Wake Forest visits Louisville:NEARING MILESTONES: Jacksons 19 rushing TDs have put him within one of matching the ACC record for QBs set by Georgia Techs Tevin Washington in 2012. He needs two more TDs to tie the league mark of 47 set by Clemsons Deshaun Watson.NOT DONE YET: While beating Virginia was big for the Demon Deacons, theyve lost three of five and face a daunting two-game stretch that continues next week at Clemson. Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson has made that point clear this week. Theres a lot left in the season, a lot more to play for, he said. You never want a loss to cause a second loss, and you dont want a win that you get so caught up in the moment you dont get past it. So we had to quickly refocus.NOWHERE TO RUN: Louisville has been downright stingy on the ground since yielding 201 yards in the loss at Clemson. The Cardinals have held their last three opponents below 100 yards rushing and are allowing an average of just 66.3 yards over the past four contests. They rank seventh nationally in run defense with an average of 106 yards per game.DEACS PASS RUSH: Wake Forest is among three teams tied for third in the ACC with 27 sacks. Ejiofor has eight sacks and LB Marquel Lee five, and the two are tied for 12th nationally with 13 tackles for loss each.BATTLE FATIGUES: Louisvilles latest alternate uniform will honor the Armed Forces with a black-and-white scheme featuring a Stars-and-Stripes pattern on the shoulder pads and gloves. The school will also dedicate an unoccupied chair that will remain empty in honor of POWs and MIAs.---AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: collegefootball.ap.org Jimmy Garoppolo Womens Jersey .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.

Its December, and in some cities the weather is bad, the football is worse.While overall attendance in the NFL is up -- credit in great part the Rams move from St. Louis to Los Angeles -- those empty seats you see in several stadiums are no mirage.There are even lots of empties in the LA Memorial Coliseum; maybe there was no honeymoon period with the Rams returning to LA.Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Miami, San Francisco, Cleveland and the Jersey Meadowlands when the Jets are home have had rows and rows of unused tickets. Other than Miami, those clubs have losing records this season.The Dolphins (8-5) have announced sellouts each week, but there have been thousands of empty seats.Detroit, perhaps on its way to a first-round playoff bye, has seen the same; last weekends win over the Bears drew 61,726 to the 65,000-seat facility.Atlanta is tied for the NFC South lead and has sold out 67 straight games, but the stands have not been filled for much of this season, including a crowd almost 3,000 under capacity for the opener.The Bucs, tied atop the NFC South with the Falcons, are averaging 60,423 through seven games, 5,000 under capacity.When the 49ers hosted the Jets last Sunday, Levis Stadium was about half full. Of course, the matchup was a weak one, but the Niners havent drawn well for other contests, including against division rival Arizona.It appears to be a combination of the team consistently losing, people not enamored of the stadium and its location in Santa Clara, and, on hot days, the sun baking a significant number of seats, making it uncomfortably hot.Dont think the players dont notice, either. San Franciscos Ahmad Brooks called it disrespectful that so many Patriots fans were in the building on Nov. 20. Minnesotas Stefon Diggs said it was a great crowd when most of the fans in Jacksonville on Sunday were wearing purple.I almost thought it was a home game it was so loud for us at times. Its louder back home, but it was great fan support for us today. They came out and showed a lot of love.Theres not much love being shown in Cleveland, which seems logical given the Browns chase of infamy. Browns fans are among the most loyal in football, but an 0-fer is a bit too much to bear.That means plenty of empty orange seats at FirstEnergy Stadium. The crowds have gotten noticeably smaller and last Sunday the stadium was only half-filled for Ohio rival Cincinnati. For other games, notably against Pittsburgh and Dallas, there were thousands of opposing fans.Well, we did that to ourselves, said tackle Joe Thomas, Clevelands best player. Were the ones that didnt win the games. If we would be 13-0, I guarantee it would be packed, theyd be selling tickets for a thousand bucks a pop.So its not discouraging any more than the record that we havee is discouraging.dddddddddddd Thats the nature of the NFL. If you dont win, people dont want to watch you.In Tampa, which has a young and exciting team building something impressive, the first game in which there wasnt a massive presence of fans in visiting regalia was against Seattle -- the Bucs sixth home game.Visiting fans dont have problems getting seats because there are so many tickets available.After last weeks 16-11 win over New Orleans, Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston said: People want to come to these games and see the Bucs play now. Thats fun. Thats fun as a team to know that were coming into a building and everyone is here for us, not the other team. Thats great.This weekend could provide quite a test of fans allegiances for the Bengals and the Jets. Cincinnati has advertised the availability of tickets for Sundays matchup with the Steelers, so theres a decent chance Paul Brown Stadium will be full -- of Terrible Towels.New York has a Saturday night matchup against the Dolphins, one of its top rivals. Dont expect to see waves of green throughout the stands at MetLife Stadium, particularly with a chance of nasty weather.Ryan Bosma, a Jets season ticket holder since 2009, gave his two tickets to friends.Its challenging when the Jets are down the drain, he says. There are just so many tickets available on the secondary market, and supply and demand does not work out in your favor. The market is just flooded with tickets, so to get any kind of return on tickets, its virtually impossible.Yet people keep buying season tickets, hardly an inexpensive venture, particularly when personal seat licenses (PSLs) are involved. Giving away tickets, selling them for less than face value or, even worse, eating them only exacerbates the costs, particularly for fans financing the PSL payments.Bosma admits he chose to purchase the seats and PSLs, so he is stuck with the payments. Hes also stuck with a product that can be woeful. Just like his brethren in several other cities where, despite the overall health of the 32 NFL franchises, pro football is not a slam-dunk attraction.I was on the waiting list for five or six years, Bosma says. They were going into a new stadium and a lot of people decided not to do PSLs, and I went right up the list.Now, he doesnt feel so fortunate. But at least he has company.It is an endless cycle with the Jets, he says with a chuckle and no apparent bitterness.
