CLEMSON, S.C. -- Dabo Swinney rolled forward out of his crouch, exhaled deeply and slapped the ground. The Clemson coach knew how fortunate the third-ranked Tigers were to escape with their latest victory.Theres something to be said for finding a way to win, Swinney said. And theres something to be said for knowing how to win.A little luck doesnt hurt either.The Tigers (7-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) needed all of it to squeak past North Carolina State 24-17 in overtime Saturday.The Wolfpack (4-2, 1-1) were a 33-yard field goal away at the end of regulation from quashing Clemsons perfect start. Instead, Kyle Bambard pushed the kick right and sent most of the 82,104 at Death Valley into hysterics.I kind of looked up and I saw it started to sail, then I closed my eyes because I couldnt believe it was actually happening, Clemson defensive end Christian Wilkins said. I waited for the crowd to cheer. They messed up because they gave us another chance.Given new life, Clemson responded like defending ACC champions. The Tigers converted a fourth-and-1 to keep their overtime the drive going, and then Deshaun Watson connected with Artavis Scott on a go-ahead 10-yard TD pass. Marcus Edmond intercepted Wolfpack quarterback Ryan Finleys deep thrown into the end zone to keep the Tigers undefeated and on track for the league title game and the College Football Playoff.It wasnt the prettiest effort for Clemson, which gave up 397 yards and turned it over four times -- including Watsons first-ever pick six -- to the Wolfpack. But it made it two straight heart-stopping home games for the Tigers, who trailed 36-28 to Louisville before rallying with two touchdowns in the final eight minutes to take that showdown victory.Its about faith and belief, said Watson, who finished 39 of 52 for 378 yards and two touchdowns. Its what we had to do to get the `W.Bambard was 1 for 4 on field-goal attempts.At the same time, we couldve stopped them one more time, North Carolina State cornerback Mike Stevens said. Its on the whole team. Im not pointing fingers.Stevens started the second-half drama with a 28-yard interception return TD after Clemson came out of the half with a 10-3 lead. The Wolfpack tied things at 17-all on Matt Dayes 2-yard scoring run with 11:29 to go.Dayes ended with 106 yards, his fifth 100-yard rushing game in six outings.Clemson took a big hit early on when running back Wayne Gallman came out, looking woozy and out of it as he headed to the locker room. Gallman, the teams leading rusher, did not return. Running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said Gallmans prognosis is good.Receiver Hunter Renfrow, who had six catches in his first game since Sept. 10 because of a broken hand, was hurt in the fourth quarter and came out the rest of the way.TAKEAWAYNorth Carolina State: The Wolfpack look like a team on the rise, one of the few the past two season that has been able to take the Tigers down to the wire.Clemson: The Tigers have been clutch, but can they keep winning with all these turnovers? They are up to 16 on the season. Clemson had 27 (which is a lot) last season and reached the national championship game.POLL IMPLICATIONSDont be surprised to see the Tigers slip a notch or two when the new Top 25 comes out Sunday.STREAKY CLEMSONThe Tigers are 7-0 for a second straight season and third time since 2011. Theyve also won 21 straight regular-season games dating to 2014 and 20 consecutive home games counting back to a 51-14 Death Valley loss to Florida State in 2013.BAMBARDS DAYBambard also had a kick hit the upright and another blocked by Wilkins. The sophomore kickers had missed only one kick this season -- and that came in last weeks hurricane conditions against Notre Dame -- before coming to Clemson.I havent seen him yet, North Carolina State coach Dave Doeren said of Bambard. But I will. Ill encourage him.UP NEXTNorth Carolina State: The Wolfpack head to No. 7 Louisville where they are 0-3 all time, including a 30-18 defeat two years ago.Clemson: The Tigers get the week off before traveling to No. 14 Florida State on Oct. 29. Clemson has won just once (2006) in its past 12 visits to Tallahassee.---More college football coverage at http://collegefootball.ap.org/ Wholesale Jerseys China .

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Derek Carr is a bit of a risk-taker by nature when it comes to playing quarterback in the NFL. He isnt afraid of throwing a ball into coverage if he thinks his receiver has a good chance of winning a one-on-one battle with the opposing defender.While that approach sometimes frustrates quarterback coach Todd Downing and the rest of the coaching staff, he has their blessing to take some risks in the preseason and takes advantage of that.Sometimes I joke around a lot before, sometimes people are going to be mad at me for certain things in the preseason, you know? Carr said. Coach Downing always tells me, `Its a great opportunity to see what you can get away with. It really is. I take that, I guess, really to heart and do it.Carr gets his next chance to see what he can get away with when the Raiders host the Tennessee Titans on Saturday in the third exhibition game that will serve as the final dress rehearsal for the season opener.Carr and Oaklands first-team offense have not been particularly impressive the first two weeks, generating just two field goals in seven drives against Arizona and Green Bay.Carr is just 12 for 20 for 82 yards with one interception on the kind of chancy pass he doesnt regret this time of year. Last week against Green Bay, Carr threw a deep pass to Amari Cooper that was intercepted.Its things like the preseason that you can have those moments where its not a decision thats going to hurt us, but its a decision like if it works, its going to be a great thing for us, Carr said. If we can continue to build on that, you know, can that help us? And thats really all it is.Despite not putting up big numbers in the preseason,, the Raiders are excited about the progress Carr is making in year three.dddddddddddd He stepped in as a rookie and started all 16 games in a rough 2014. Oakland started that season 0-10 before winning three games and Carr averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt -- the second-lowest mark in team history.Carr took a big step forward last season when he threw for 32 touchdowns and 3,987 yards as Oakland improved to 7-9 behind an offense that was dynamic in the first half of the season before struggling late.Now with a second year in coordinator Bill Musgraves system and most of his skilled position players back, Carr is in even more command in 2016.So hes able to take it to the next level, take it to the graduate level from undergrad where he was last year and put his own spin on things, Musgrave said. He can solve the problems almost before the problems emerge there at the line of scrimmage. ... Weve definitely seen that day in and day out here in his second year.Game notes S Reggie Nelson, who has not practiced this week, is expected to miss the game with an undisclosed injury. ... Del Rio said he plans to play his starters for the first half and possibly into the third quarter. ... Undrafted rookie RB Jalen Richard, who has been impressive in practice, gets to play in a game for the first time after missing the past two weeks with an injury. Del Rio said he wants to see Richard and fellow rookie DeAndre Washington get some time with the first-team offensive line.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
