LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Lamar Jackson doesnt mind being the center of attention on the football field. In fact, he seems to thrive when the spotlight is brightest.Off the field is a different story for the Louisville quarterback.He doesnt like talking about himself but as his impressive play continues to draw rave reviews he understands thats the price of fame.You just have to stay humble, Jackson said Monday on a conference call with local and national media. I just keep myself focused and try to prepare each week for our games.Jacksons early play and video-game like statistics have catapulted him into the Heisman Trophy conversation and the Cardinals to No. 3 in the Top 25. The stage gets even bigger this week with Saturdays Atlantic Coast Conference showdown between Louisville (4-0, 2-0 ACC) and fifth-ranked Clemson (4-0, 1-0).Hes done a nice job with it, coach Bobby Petrino said Monday of Jacksons handling of the spotlight. Weve tried to help him with that and get it to a place where he can handle more often what we ask him to do. ... Hes very mature with it. I think hes more comfortable talking and speaking, and well keep working with him on it.Hes already very comfortable on the field.Jackson has passed for 1,330 yards and 13 touchdowns -- including five against Marshall last Saturday -- and rushed for 526 yards and 12 TDs. Louisville is averaging nearly 64 points per contest thanks to these gaudy numbers that dont surprise those who know him best.Hes a freak athlete and he can fly, said Clemson starting linebacker Ben Boulware. They do a bunch of funky formations to mess with your eyes. They like to incorporate him in the run game a lot, so you have to have an extra hat at the ball now to defend him. I feel like the defenses have had a hard time adapting to that.He piled up statistics and TDs while leading Boynton Beach Community High School to the Florida state playoffs. Jackson even leapt over defenders in practice and a game until being penalized for it, to his and his coachs surprise.Heck, we didnt know about that rule, Boynton Beach coach Rick Swain quipped in a phone interview. The coach pointed out several changes in the 6-foot-3, 204-pound QBs game since hes been in college.Hes really improved as a passer, though he had a good, accurate arm in high school, Swain said. Recruiters saw the qualities he had at quarterback and interest really stepped up his senior year. I dont think anybody recruited with the idea that hed be anything but a quarterback.A major question was what type of quarterback Jackson would be under Petrino, whose preference has been pocket-type passers to execute his pro-style scheme. As he grooms Jackson to have more of a pocket presence, the quarterback has forced his coach expand the playbook to include more read-option and spread formations.Jacksons five-TD effort that dismantled FSU 63-20 drew praise from Michael Vick, who tweeted that Louisvilles signal caller is better than he was back at Virginia Tech. He lights up with every mention of the high compliment from his idol.Michael Vick is my favorite player, Jackson said of a group that includes Cam Newton and former Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, another south Florida standout.Jacksons idolization of those players might explain why he has set a high bar for himself this season.He acknowledged relying on his athleticism and instincts during a freshman season in which Petrino played Jackson, Kyle Bolin and Reggie Bonnafon behind center. Jackson ended up setting school records for rushing yards by a QB for a season and career with 960, just over half of what he achieved throwing the ball (1,840).Jacksons focus on passing better has resulted in TD throws such as the 71-yarder to James Quick in stride for Louisvilles first score in Saturdays 59-28 rout of Marshall . He passed for five TDs and ran for two scores but finished with a completion rate just over 50 percent, which to him is unacceptable.I want 80 percent, 95 percent, Jackson joked. Thats just me.Louisville receiver Jaylen Smith said Jacksons sometimes-harsh assessment of his mistakes have helped keep his sudden success from going to his head. And with conference and national-title implications possibly riding on Saturdays game, being his own worst critic isnt a bad thing.He knows what he wants out of the offense and we agree with what he wants, Smith said. He wants to score on every possession. ... You would think that (hes hard on himself) with the way he grades himself, but thats just fuel to his fire.His approach has quelled concerns about distractions entering Jacksons latest measuring-stick game in Death Valley. Staying focused isnt easy considering hes on the cover of the latest Sports Illustrated and has been mentioned as a Heisman lock if he continues piling up TDs.But in Jacksons world theres always room for growth, no matter how effortless he seems to make it look.Knowing my mistakes and being able to go back to fix them, Jackson said, that helps me out a lot.---AP Sports Writer Pete Iacobelli in Clemson, South Carolina contributed to this report.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgNFL China Jerseys .

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- After another glorious moment in Western Michigans remarkable turnaround, P.J. Fleck was happy to look back on his first season with the Broncos, when he managed only one win in 2013 as a rookie coach.Im so thankful for 1-11, he said. Itll probably be the most memorable year ever in my mind, because failing is growth and we failed more than anybody in the country, but our perspective of failing was way different, and we wouldnt let each other be down.The 14th-ranked Broncos have come a long way since then, and on Friday night they capped an undefeated regular season in style, routing Toledo 55-35 to secure a berth next week in the Mid-American Conference championship game. Corey Davis became the career FBS leader in yards receiving, and WMU never trailed, advancing to the league title game for the first time since 2000.It was a milestone moment for Fleck, who turns 36 on Tuesday. His row the boat mantra has caught on in a big way at WMU, with fans chanting it and players savoring the chance to play for high stakes as the postseason approaches.Those who would stay, we promise you, you would be a champion, Fleck said, appropriating Bo Schembechlers old saying at Michigan. Were not a full MAC champion yet, but were a MAC West champion. Those who stay, the 1-11 guys, they all get to leave here a champion.The Broncos (12-0, 8-0, No. 21 CFP) scored a defensive touchdown on the first play from scrimmage and eventually broke it open in the third quarter. WMU will face Ohio in the MAC title game in Detroit next Friday night, and its looking more and more like the Broncos will be playing for a spot in a major bowl.Kareem Hunt ran for 200 yards and a touchdown for Toledo, but there was only so much he could do after the Rockets (9-3, 6-2) fell way behind in the second half.Zach Terrell went 19 of 25 for 196 yards and three touchdowns for WMU, and Davis caught eight passes for 81 yards and a TD. Davis broke the career mark of 5,005 yards receiving set by Trevor Insley of Nevada from 1996-99.Jamauri Bogan also had a big day for WMU, rushing for 198 yards and a TD.Toledo received the opening kickoff, but Logan Woodsides pass on the first play from scrimmage was intercepted by Asantay Brown, whose 21-yard return gave the Broncos a 7-0 lead.WMU led 24-14 at halftime, then outscored the Rockets 21-0 in the third quarter.Its really hard to run the table in college football and go undefeated as you know, Toledo coach Jason Candle said. Hats off to their staff and their players for getting that accomplished.WMU fans rushed the field after the game in celebration.Weve come so ffar, and weve struggled so much, Davis said.dddddddddddd Just to see the smiles on these guys faces and the fans light up, its just a blessing.THE TAKEAWAYToledo: The Rockets have been one of the MACs most consistently solid teams in recent years, but they havent made the league title game since 2004. Northern Illinois represented the West Division the past six years, and this season WMU has been dominant, leaving Toledo again on the outside looking in.WMU: If there was any pressure on the Broncos because of their undefeated record, it didnt show Friday. Against a tough opponent, WMU was simply terrific, winning by the kind of one-sided score that could certainly catch the attention of the playoff committee. The Broncos could go to a New Years Six bowl if they end up as the top league champion from the Group of Five conferences.WMU and Alabama are the only FBS teams that are undefeated, and Boise States loss to Air Force on Friday derailed one major competitor in the race for that top Group of Five spot.People can label us, put a number on us. We wont. Were going to define ourselves by how we play, Fleck said. Everybody else can talk about our program, say whats missing, say all those things, what conference were in. Were proud to be in the Mid-American Conference, and I would not have it any other way. This is an elite program, elite school, 12-0. Theres only two that are undefeated right now, and its pretty hard to go undefeated.POLL IMPLICATIONSWMU: The Broncos No. 14 AP ranking is the highest for a MAC team since Ball State was No. 12 in 2008 following a 12-0 start. WMU now has a chance to move up. No. 13 Florida and No. 9 Colorado have tough games this weekend.INJURYIt wasnt a great fourth quarter for WMU. Linebacker Caleb Bailey was ejected for targeting, and safety Justin Ferguson was taken off on a stretcher with what Fleck described as a gruesome ankle injury. Ferguson, a senior, drew a nice ovation as he was taken off the field in the final home game of the year.UP NEXTToledo: The Rockets will certainly have a chance to go to a bowl. Hunt is now 24 yards shy of the schools career rushing record. Chester Taylor holds the mark of 4,849 yards.WMU: Somebody is going to win the MAC for the first time in quite a while. The Broncos havent done it since 1988, and Ohios last conference title was back in 1968.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
