look good.So did the Cardinals last week.Th

CHASKA, Minn. -- Davis Love III said he was only trying to illustrate why his U.S. team should play with more swagger in the Ryder Cup. His comments wound up providing plenty of fodder for the Europeans, and perhaps a little extra motivation they didnt even need.The catch phrase for this Ryder Cup: Best golf team maybe ever assembled.Thats what Love said in a radio interview last week. Rory McIlroy seized on it last weekend, joking that the Americans at least had the best Ryder Cup Task Force ever assembled. He couldnt help but mention it again on Tuesday before the first practice session at Hazeltine.Whenever we are going up against one of the greatest teams ever assembled, thats motivation enough, McIlroy said.Adding to the bulletin-board material was NBC Sports analyst Johnny Miller saying Europe had the worst team he had seen in years, particularly with six rookies.The record shows otherwise.Europe has won eight of the last 10 times in the Ryder Cup dating to 1995, and while there are six players who have never experienced the emotions and pressure of the Ryder Cup, only four Europeans on the team know the feeling of losing.At the end of the day, you dont win the Ryder Cups with your mouth, Sergio Garcia said. You win them out there on the golf course. So thats what well see, which team is the best.Love said the conversation on SiriusXM Radio last Friday was misconstrued. He said a Canadian caller had said the Americans needed to play with more swagger, and Love agreed with him. He said the host asked what he would tell his team.And I said: `I would tell my team theyre the best team ever assembled. Lets go out and show off and play and have fun, Love said.It didnt quite come out that way.Love said on the radio show that Americans have been guilty of playing not to lose, and that they need to smash the tee shot, walk quickly to the golf ball and let the other team know that we are going to dominate you. He talked about having confidence and how the Americans didnt need to do anything super human.This is a great team, he said. This is the best golf team maybe ever assembled.European captain Darren Clarke said he didnt need to post anything on the walls of the team room. His players heard the comment, some of them laughed about it, none appear to have forgotten. Clarke seemed more defensive about Millers comments.We have the Masters champion (Danny Willet), we have The Open champion (Henrik Stenson), we have the Olympic champion (Justin Rose) and we have the FedEx champion (McIlroy). You combine that with all the experience and with all of the rest of the team and the way those guys played, I dont really need to respond to that, Clarke said. I think Ive got full confidence in our team.Based on the how Europe practiced on Tuesday, it appears that Clarke is blending experience with rookies. He had Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood with rookies Rafa Cabrera Bello and Willett; Stenson and Rose with rookies Matt Fitzpatrick and Thomas Pieters; and McIlroy and Garcia with rookies Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan.The Americans are back to their pod system that Paul Azinger used in a rare victory in 2008 and Love modified in 2012. Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar were in one group; Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker were in another. Both groups featured previous partnerships. The last group included the lone rookies -- Ryan Moore and Brooks Koepka -- with J.B. Holmes and Brandt Snedeker.Neither side really needs any motivation, though Spieth suggested the most powerful type.Were tired of being told we havent won, he said.Love said he brought Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, to speak to his team on Monday night. Clarke countered with Paul OConnell, the recently retired Irish rugby star. The message Clarke wants to deliver this week is for Europe to stand shoulder to shoulder.Love had the Americans on the verge of victory at Medinah, leading 10-6 going into the final session until they were overwhelmed by Europe and lost again. Only five players were on that 2012 team -- Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Snedeker and Kuchar.Weve got a different team, and thats what I keep telling this team, Love said. Dont look to the past. This team has never played together before. This team has no history. They are a great team.Best ever assembled?

Youll have to excuse Louisville coach Bobby Petrino if he is not really sure what day it is.Though Saturday is college footballs traditional game day, Petrinos 13th-ranked Cardinals are getting ready for an 8 p.m. Friday contest against Syracuse at the Oranges Carrier Dome home. The Cardinals are coming off a 70-14 rout of Charlotte in their opener, which was played on a Thursday night.Were kind of off schedule, he said.When the game is played isnt among Petrinos primary concerns, however. Whatever the schedule calls for thats what he will go with.His concerns:--First is contending with playing the game indoors and coping with the noise factor.Its a loud place, Petrino said. They will have a big crowd. Its loud no matter how many people they have in there. Playing inside its always loud, and we will have to be able to communicate.Its a good challenge for us. Its something that we really need.Of course, noise is more of a factor when the Dome is filled or at least near capacity. The crowd for the opener -- a 33-7 victory over Colgate -- was tagged at a disappointing 31,336, well below the capacity of 49,250.The Orange are hoping for more fans in the seats this week.There is tons of room for improvement, Orange quarterback Eric Dungey said. Im happy were back in the Dome. It was awesome playing in front of these fans. We had a lot of Orange out there so that was great to see. Im looking forward to getting back here.--Petrinos second concern is contending with first-year Syracuse coach Dino Babers up-tempo approach on offense. Its a system that helped Baber beat Northern Illinois for the MAC championship last year at Bowling Green and got him Ohio Valley Conference titles and appearances in the FCS playoffs in both of his years at Eastern Illinois.The Orange ran off 81 plays for 554 yards in total offense in beating Colgate last week. Babers said afterward it was the slowest pace he hopes the Orange plays at this year.I think what you saw tonight was both sides, a little bit of the good and a little bit of the bad, Babers said.ddddddddddddHopefully, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, what this could become once you work all of the kinks out and you have the right type of individuals giving you the right efforts in the right places.Dungey agrees the pace needs to be picked up.I dont think it was fast enough, the quarterback said. Im pretty sure coach was already saying were not fast enough. Theres tons of room for improvement.Petrino is expecting the quicker pace, but isnt so sure that sometimes the pace is a bit too fast.Thats one of the things they brag about is how fast they go, Petrino said. Weve got to see if all that is legal because theres a few times theyre snapping the ball and the down markers havent even been moved yet.So we do need to check into that and see how that works. But I think they look good.So did the Cardinals last week.The Cardinals racked up 663 yards in total offense against Charlotte with quarterback Lamar Jackson accounting for 405 yards -- in the first half! He accounted for eight touchdowns to set a school record in the category, and his six touchdown passes tied another. He didnt take a snap in the second half.In all, 16 different players recorded at least one catch for the Cardinals. Eight different players registered rushes.I thought Lamar really did a good job in the second quarter seeing things and going through his progressions, Petrino said. It was nice to get everybody involved. He read the coverage and delivered the ball and let the players make the plays for you.Thats why we had so many different guys make plays. And it was great to get everybody involved, you know, in the second half.After the trip to Syracuse, the Cardinals will finally get to play a Saturday game when the host Florida State on Sept. 13.
