Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork. Dan Feeney Jersey .com) - Coming off their first loss of the season, the fifth-ranked Louisville Cardinals seek some perspective, as they close out a three-game homestand on Tuesday against the travel-weary Long Beach State 49ers. Dan Monsons 49ers are a well-traveled team, as they have played eight true road games already this season. Unfortunately, Long Beach State is still seeking its first road win on the year and that includes losses in the first five games of this current six-game road trip. It has been a gauntlet that has included powerhouses San Diego State, Texas, St. Johns and most recently, Syracuse. LBSU was no match for the Orange on Sunday, falling to 5-9 on the year with an 85-67 setback. Rick Pitinos Cardinals had their opportunity to knock of the reigning No. 1 team in the land over the weekend, but Louisville came up short against arch- rival Kentucky, losing for the first time in 12 games, with a 58-50 loss at home to the Wildcats. This marks the teams final non-conference game of the season, as it embarks on its first season in the ACC after the New Year. This marks just the second time these two teams have met. The first came in 2011, as Louisville earned a 79-66 victory at home. Long Beach State placed four players in double figures, but it just wasnt enough, as the 49ers were unable to keep pace with the Orange, who shot a ridiculous .577 from the floor over the weekend. Eric McKnight, Tyler Lamb and Mike Caffey all tied for team-high honors with 14 points apiece. David Samuels checked in with 13 points for LBSU, which turned the ball over 15 costly times, resulting in 24 points for Syracuse. The Orange also outscored Long Beach State 18-7 at the free-throw line. A -5.4 scoring margin is the main reason for Long Beach States sub-par season to date. Caffey has certainly done his part as the senior guard is shooting just under 50 percent from the floor (.492) and putting up 17.6 ppg. He is also tops on the team in assists (3.8 apg) and steals (26). Lamb is a distant second in the scoring column at 10.6 ppg, with little scoring depth behind him. Samuels is third at just 7.9 ppg, but does grab a team-best 5.3 rpg. The Cardinals were in the game to the very end against Kentucky, employing their own brand of stingy defense, but unfortunately, they were unable to solve the Wildcats defensive scheme, en route to an ugly .259 shooting performance. Terry Rozier led the team in defeat with 15 points. Chris Jones finished with 13 points, while Wayne Blackshear chipped in with 10. However, All-America candidate Montrezl Harrell was contained, as the star forward finished with just nine points and eight rebounds in the loss. On the season, the numbers are still impressive for Louisville at both ends of the floor, resulting in a +20.3 scoring margin. The team is averaging 75.0 ppg, while limiting foes to just 54.7 on just .349 shooting. Rozier and Harrell have been a potent one-two punch, averaging 16.6 and 16.0 ppg, respectively. One of the nations premier players, Harrell is also a strong rebounder, grabbing a team-high 9.8 rpg. Blackshear (13.4 ppg) adds frontcourt depth, while Jones (12.3 ppg) does the same in the backcourt. Philip Rivers Jersey .

Riding a 29-game winning streak, Florida State (13-1) imploded in the second half, losing for the first time since Nov. 24, 2012. Winston passed for 348 yards and a touchdown but turned the ball over twice in the third quarter -- once on a fumble and once on a interception, both leading to Oregon touchdowns. Linebacker Tony Washington returned Winstons fumble 58 yards for a touchdown and was named defensive MVP of the game. He scooped the ball up and raced it to the end zone after Winston, scrambling around the pocket for nearly 10 seconds, fell backward and let it slip out of his hands. The play gave Oregon, ahead just 18-13 at halftime, a 45-20 lead with 1:36 left in the third quarter. Winston was intercepted by Erick Dargan two plays into the ensuing drive, leading to Mariotas touchdown on a 23-yard scramble. It took three more plays for the Seminoles to give it away again, on Jesus Wilsons fumble, which led to Thomas Tyners 21-yard touchdown run for the final margin. Florida State freshman running back Dalvin Cook fumbled twice in thhe third quarter, leading to Royce Freemans 3-yard touchdown run and Mariotas 30-yard touchdown pass to Darren Carrington. Travis Benjamin Jersey. Carrington finished with 165 yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions. Tyner carried the ball 13 times for 124 yards with two scores and Freeman also scored twice. Oregon has won nine games in a row since losing to Arizona on Oct. 2 and will be trying to capture the programs first national title. The Ducks are 4-0 in bowl games since losing to Auburn in the BCS title game after the 2010 season. Cook rushed for 103 yards on 15 carries and Karlos Williams carried 12 times for 80 yards and a score for the ACC-champion Seminoles, who had a six-game bowl winning streak snapped. Cooks first fumble came just five plays into the second half when the ball was ripped out of his hands by linebacker Derrick Malone Jr. Winston responded with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Travis Rudolph with 8:07 left in the third quarter, but those were Florida States last points. Carrington scored on a 56-yard catch-and-run at the other end after cutting past a Seminoles safety who slipped, touching off Oregons 34-0 run to end the game. Mariota became the 18th Heisman winner to play in the Rose Bowl, following Winston, who led the Seminoles over Auburn last year in the final BCS title game. He was 18-of-26 for 157 yards in the first half, including 4-of-4 for 51 yards on a 73-yard touchdown drive in the first quarter that ended with Freemans 1- yard run. Later, Mariota guided scoring drives of 88 and 75 yards in the second quarter as Oregon built an 18-6 lead after Aidan Schneiders 28-yard field goal and Tyners 1-yard touchdown. The Seminoles made four trips inside the red zone in the first half before scoring a touchdown on Williams 10-yard run in the final minute of the second quarter, which made it 18-13. Earlier, they failed to reach the end zone on two early drives despite getting second chances from Oregon penalties. One touchdown was overturned after a replay review showed Winstons knee was down before the ball crossed the goal line on a fourth-down scramble.
