HOUSTON -- The Houston Cougars quite enjoyed playing spoiler on Thursday night with their playoff hopes long since gone.Duke Catalon scored three touchdowns and Houston hurried and harassed Heisman favorite Lamar Jackson all night to propel the Cougars to a stunning 36-10 victory over No. 3 Louisville that dashed the Cardinals playoff chances.I think our guys, they embrace the underdog role, Houston coach Tom Herman said. When were healthy, when were fresh and we have that chip on our shoulder against big time opponents ... we dont change the way we prepare for these kind of games, but I do think our guys have an added motivation.Louisville (9-2) entered the game ranked fifth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but was outdone by a Houston team that saw its own playoff hopes foiled by two losses to unranked teams after a 5-0 start .Showing the world once again that Houston is the greatest school, a great place to be, a great environment, Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver said. We work hard for everything that we ever had and will have. Were legit. Were go-getters. No matter the task, we always come through the other side.The victory was Houstons second this season over a team ranked third after the Cougars (9-2) knocked off Oklahoma to open the season and it was their fourth straight win over a top-10 team.Things went wrong quickly for the mistake-prone Cardinals when they fumbled awau the opening kickoff. Greg Ward threw his first touchdown pass on the next play to make it 7-0. Brandon Radcliff lost a fumble later in the first and Houston added a field goal on the ensuing drive to make it 10-0.Jackson threw for 211 yards and a touchdown, but it didnt come until the second half.That was a heck of a football team in Louisville and a heck of a player in Lamar Jackson, Herman said. Still in my opinion, nothings changed. Thats the best player in college football, and our defense did a good job of putting pressure on him.Houston then scored touchdowns on three straight possessions in the second quarter to push the lead to 31-0 at halftime. Catalon caught a touchdown pass, ran for another score and Houston got the third score in that span on a 50-yard pass by receiver Linell Bonner after a lateral.Louisville opened the second half with a 12-yard touchdown pass by Jackson, but he fumbled in the red zone on the next possession to ruin a chance to close the gap.The Cougars were in Jacksons face constantly, sacking him a season-high 11 times and keeping him from hurting them with his feet. He ran for a season-low 33 yards after piling up 338 yards rushing combined in the last two games. The 11 sacks were tied for the most allowed in the country this season.Honestly, we try to do this every week, linebacker Steven Taylor said. It just felt good for us to accomplish this and show the world that were capable of coming out and being aggressive and doing good at that.After Jackson was sacked for the 10th time he threw up his hands and two of his lineman looked to be yelling at each other about who was to blame for his latest takedown.It was so loud, you couldnt hear words, Oliver said. But you could see he was yelling at his o-lineman, but you couldnt hear what he was saying. Im guessing he was yelling at them for false starts.But the Cougars werent done getting after him just yet. On the next possession he threw the ball away while under heavy pressure from Tyus Bowser and was flagged for intentional grounding, giving the Cougars a safety.The Cardinals set a season-high with 15 penalties, punted a season-high six times by halftime and the 11 sacks they allowed were more than double their previous season-high. Its the fewest points theyve scored since a loss at North Carolina in 2011.Ward threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns to help the Cougars to the victory that left Cougar fans storming the field to celebrate.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Raiders Jerseys .

SOUTHAMPTON, England -- Chelseas prolific double act of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa scored in a 2-0 win at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, earning the team a fourth straight win to keep in touch with its title rivals.Hazard put Chelsea ahead in the sixth minute when he cut in from the byline and shot left-footed through Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forsters legs.Costa added a second by curling in a superb strike from 25 meters in the 55th, a rare long-range strike from a penalty-box predator.Hazard (five) and Costa (a league-leading eight) are scoring the goals that are fueling Chelseas title challenge under new coach Antonio Conte. Its now 12 points from a possible 12 -- and four straight clean sheets -- since Conte switched to a three-man defense, the Italians favored defensive system that worked so well for him with Juventus in Italy.After 10 games, Chelsea is one point behind Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, which all scored four goals in victories on Saturday.Hazard was a menace to a Southampton team managed by Claude Puel, the coach who gave the winger his break in football. Puel hhanded a 16-year-old Hazard his professional debut at French club Lille in 2007 so will have recognized the wonderful technique and close control that led to his third goal in as many games.ddddddddddddAfter running off midfielder Steven Davis, Hazard collected Victor Moses pass, cut inside and buried a low shot that was too hard for Forster to react to.Costa was denied by Forsters feet in a one-on-one chance late in the first half, during which Southampton had more of the possession but didnt really threaten.The Spain striker got his now-customary goal, picking up a short pass from Hazard and darting inside before finding the corner.Southampton was picked off time and again on counterattacks led by the roaming Hazard.Conte will be just as happy with Chelseas solid defensive showing without veterans John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, who had to settle for spots on the bench.Chelsea is the only visiting team to win at St. Marys Stadium this season, having also done so in February.
