TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- North Carolina and No. 12 Florida State have two of the better offenses in the Atlantic Coast Conference. When it comes to defense, thats another matter.Going into Saturdays game at Doak Campbell Stadium, both teams are struggling to find consistency when it comes to stopping opponents. The Seminoles (3-1, 0-1 ACC) are last among Power Five conference teams in yards allowed per play (6.78). They have also have allowed 30 or more points in all three games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents after not allowing a team to score 25 or more during the regular season last year.Most of the problems are rooted in teams taking advantage of a young secondary. The Seminoles have allowed 14 plays of 30 yards or more, which is tied with Oklahoma State for worst among Power Five teams.Coach Jimbo Fisher hopes his unit has found some confidence though after last Saturdays win at South Florida where they forced punts on nine straight possessions, including eight three-and-outs.After four weeks of facing dual-threat quarterbacks, the Seminoles face a traditional passer in Mitch Trubisky. Fisher said that the junior, who has a 74.5 percent completion rate, might be the most accurate quarterback his team will face this year.The Tar Heels (3-1, 1-0) are having problems again stopping the run and getting off the field. In last weeks win against Pittsburgh, they went from a struggle-filled first 45 minutes to forcing three-and-outs on the Panthers last two series to give the offense a chance to make its last-second comeback win.They fought all the way down to the end to set up the comeback, defensive coordinator Gene Chizik said. What weve got to find is how to do that throughout the game because were not there yet.North Carolina is allowing 240.3 yards per game which is second worse among Power Five schools. The Tar Heels face another top back today in Florida States Dalvin Cook, who is coming off a career-high 267-yard day against USF.Here are some other things to watch as the Tar Heels and Seminoles meet for the first time since 2010:D?J? VU? UNC lost its opener to South Carolina last year, then won 11 straight to win the ACC Coastal Division and play then-No. 1 Clemson in the title game. The Tar Heels have at least set themselves up for a shot at a repeat, shaking off a loss to Georgia in the opener with three straight wins. The road, though, this year is tougher with Florida State and then No. 14 Miami on Oct. 15.COMPOSED TRUBISKY: Trubisky has thrown for nearly 900 yards with two of the top four single-game passing performances in program history over the last two weeks. He has yet to throw an interception this year, too, and has a program-record 202 straight passes without a pick to break a record that had stood for 19 years.RETURN GAMES: UNCs T.J. Logan ranks third in the ACC and 23rd in the nation in kick returns, averaging 27.7 yards per attempt. Florida States Bobo Wilson is first in the ACC and fifth nationally in punt returns, averaging 20.4 yards. Both also have a touchdown.RELAXED FRANCOIS: FSU quarterback Deondre Francois accounted for 244 yards of total offense last week. He had only 169 yards passing but is doing a better job of making checks at the line. Last week he checked into a run play which resulted in a Cook 75-yard touchdown.KEEP AN EYE ON: Florida State receiver Travis Rudolph. The junior leads the team in receptions (16), yards (233) and touchdowns (three) but has been held to three receptions for 54 yards the past two weeks.---AP sports writer Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, contributed to this report.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Joe on Twitter: www.twitter.com/joereedy and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joe-reedy http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Matthew-Stafford-Draft-Jersey/ .

Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. The Lords Test was a timely reminder of a game that can be an enthralling contest when theres something in the pitch for the bowlers, and that is enhanced by the magic of good wristspin.While the bowling at times reached heights of excellence, the batting at Lords was often moderate and the catching appalling. The next time a commentator says fielding standards have greatly improved over the years, Id like him or her to be more specific. Some of the outfielding is spectacular in its athleticism, and at times even displays ballet-like qualities, but the close catching is technically deficient.And its not just England and Pakistan who are at fault; its a worldwide epidemic, and in this case its not catching.Most of the dropped catches behind the wicket are the result of one simple technical flaw - the failure to slightly turn the foot outwards to the side on which the ball is travelling before making the next move. Without this simple manoeuvre the fielder will be off balance when attempting to complete a catch. On most occasions when a catch goes down, you see the fielder either collapse sideways like a detonated building or take a tumble backwards.Not to pick on Virat Kohli but hes a high-quality batsman with wonderful hand-eye coordination, which should make him a natural for the catching positions. His failings in the slip cordon are the result of this technical flaw, and also a lack of anticipation in the leg-slip position when the spinners are operating.Anticipation is a big part of fielding at leg slip to the spinners, because often the ball suddenly appears from behind a pad. Consequently, its crucial to follow the flight of the delivery and then focus on a spot from where the ball will appear.I once watched in amazement as Garry Sobers - fielding at leg slip for South Australia - calculated that a Victoria batsman was purely blocking the last over before lunch. Choosing his moment perfectly, he stepped forward, placed his hand on the ground and the ball was played straight to him.Sobers was one of the beest in that position but he had an equal in Indias Eknath Solkar, who was exceedingly brave in the short-leg position, and would have made an excellent pickpocket.dddddddddddd He stood so close without you feeling his presence. What a pity Ekki isnt around now. Hed be able to put Kohli (and any other short leg who cared to listen) straight on whats required to excel in that position.I often wonder what current players are being taught, particularly when it comes to batting and fielding. Its understandable that coaching is a little confused with three variations of the game to satisfy, but there are certain principles that should be adhered to in order to achieve success. Some coaches put forward theories that are more about reinventing the game than helping their charges. Im all for improvement but change for the sake of it is usually misdirected because the motives behind it are wrong.Just because a technique is ancient doesnt mean its inefficient. It has usually survived because it has been tried and tested over many years and proved to be the best way to achieve success.Like most aspects of the game, these trusted techniques are best learned when the player is young - anywhere from eight to 18 years of age. The most knowledgeable coaches should be in charge of good young players and not international teams. Cricket needs to closely examine its coaching structure. There have never been more coaches, but while the game has improved in a number of areas, it is technically deficient in some very important aspects.Sobers wrote in his coaching book: One of the greatest tragedies of cricket coaching is that the greatness of the games best players has been revered but never followed.Many young players will learn the game from watching it on television, and have done. Better they learn techniques that work rather than observe theories that are the result of some misguided coachs ambition.
