Nico Rosberg said his clean sweep of practice sessions in Suzuka helped him beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix by just 0.013s.Rosberg has been the quickest Mercedes all weekend and topped Hamilton in Q1 and Q2, only for the reigning world champion to edge ahead in the initial Q3 laps. On the final runs Rosberg just did enough to get ahead on a 1:30.647 which Hamilton was unable to match.Reflecting on the lap, Rosberg said: Of course, happy with the result in the end. It was going well the whole weekend and I had a good balance in the car, feeling good, feeling comfortable, and thats what allows me to put in a lap like that in the end.It was just a good lap, just got it all done properly, thats it. I knew I could do it, I knew I could do a good lap. The first one in Q3 wasnt perfect so I just had to get my head down and nail it.Its Rosbergs third consecutive pole position at the Suzuka circuit, though Hamilton beat him to victory from second on the grid in 2014 and 2015. Rosberg knows the start - where Hamilton barged past him last year - will be key, but the German is also wary about the role tyres will play over the course of the race.Its just putting everything together. For sure the start is going to be an important one tomorrow, and weve seen this weekend its not been too easy because its downhill and the grip somehow has been a bit lower than usual - so its going to be an interesting challenge.From then on just need to get the tyre life to get to do long enough stints and everything to get the strategy to work, its just putting everything together.Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Jersey . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year.

In Watsons view, the end justifies the sometimes sloppy means in the Tigers second straight 8-0 start.Players make plays, this is what we are built for, Watson said Monday. We practice this every Wednesday, being down and having the opportunity to win the game.Clemson hopes to start a more dominating run to the finish the regular season, starting with Saturdays home game against Syracuse (4-4, 2-2). The Tigers have beaten 3-0 against the Orange since Syracuse joined the ACC.The Tigers have had their share of heart-stopping finishes so a comfortable victory would be welcomed.Clemson trailed Louisville 36-28 in the fourth quarter before Watson rallied his team for a pair of touchdown drives in the final seven minutes of the 42-36 victory Oct. 1. Two weeks later, the Tigers sweated out a missed, 33-yard field goal by North Carolina State that wouldve won the game to prevail in overtime, 24-17.This time, Clemson was down 28-20 in the third quarter and 34-29 with 3:23 remaining. But Watson and the Tigers responded with an efficient, smooth 75-yard TD drive ended by tight end Jordan Leggetts 34-yard catch and run where he leaped at the end and extended the ball across the goal line before falling out of bounds.Clemsons defense then forced two incompletions and notched two sacks after the Seminoles had advanced inside the Tigers 40 looking for a tying field goal.Im ecstatic about the way weve been able to finish this season, Clemson defensive back Ryan Carter said. Of course, I wish it werent always this close.ddddddddddddLeggett ended with five catches for 122 yards, setting a single-game school record for receiving yards. He was named the ACC receiver of the week. Leggetts teammate, guard Tyrone Crowder, was the leagues offense player of the year as he helped Clemsons offense gain 511 yards on Florida State.Clemsons closing stretch features four opponents wholl all be heavy underdogs at pulling off the upset. Syracuse hung with the Tigers a year ago at the Carrier Dome before falling 37-27.Orange coach Dino Babers said the Tigers are a different-level opponent for his team. There are a lot of guys that are going to be millionaires on both sides of the football, offensively and defensively, playing for them, he said.After Syracuse comes Pitt, who Clemson faces Nov. 11 at home. The schools have not met since the Gator Bowl after the 1977 season. Clemson finishes ACC play at Wake Forest, which has not beaten the Tigers since 2008.If Clemson is still undefeated then, it concludes the year with South Carolina, which has lost the past two rivalry games and wont be anyones pick to spoil a second-straight perfect season.We know weve got a target on our backs and were going to get a teams best game, Carter said. We see it on the field and we know it is coming.Co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said last week that former Baylor coaching great and past American Football Coaches Association president Grant Teaff stopped by to visit the Tigers staff. Teaff told them hed watched several games and that the teams apparent belief in ultimate success during dire circumstances is a characteristic championship teams typically develop.We havent won a championship yet and weve got things to clean up, Scott said. Ultimately, our goal is to win games and I think our guys have bought into that.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org
