If North Carolina was hoping to get some indication of how much its run defense may have improved since the late-season collapse a year ago, the Tar Heels couldnt have asked for any better measure than what they figure to get when they take on Georgia Saturday in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game in the Georgia Dome.Coach Kirby Smart has pronounced the 18th-ranked Bulldogs star running back, Nick Chubb, recovered from the knee injury that sidelined him at midseason last year and ready for the opener against the No. 22 Tar Heels (ESPN, 5:30 p.m. ET).We feel good about Nick, Smart said. He feels great is ready to go. He wont be on a pitch count by any means.Chubb has rushed for nearly 2,300 yards in just 14 career starts over the last two seasons and will be an immediate challenge for North Carolina. The Tar Heels defense gave up 319 yards on the ground in their loss to Clemson in the ACC title game and a whopping 645 to Baylor in their bowl loss.I definitely think thats something that teams are going to test us on, because of how we played in the Baylor game, and some of the games we had last year where running backs were able to get leaky yardage, junior linebacker Cayson Collins said, leaky yardage being defensive coordinator Gene Chiziks term for yards after contact. We had that a lot last year, so thats something we want to cut back on.North Carolina will be starting a new quarterback when junior Mitch Trubisky takes over for Marquise Williams after serving as Williams backup the last two years, but Smart played it coy until Thursday.Senior Greyson Lambert, who started off-and-on last season, edged highly-touted freshman quarterback Jacob Eason. Media reports had indicated Eason was the favorite, but Smart stood firm through camp that there was no favorite.Lambert threw 12 interceptions with two interceptions last season, but struggled against quality competition. The Georgia faithful are eager to see Eason, who was one of the top pro-style quarterback recruits in the 2016 recruiting class.Smart said early in fall camp that two quarterbacks could play effectively.The former Nick Saban assistant also followed Sabans lead in selecting experience over hype in a high-profile opening game.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. http://www.cheapspursjerseyschina.com/rudy-gay-jersey/ . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Manu Ginobili Jersey . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Youth Spurs Jerseys . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.Diego Simeone fits Atletico Madrid like a glove and wants to take them forward in their new stadium, says Guillem Balague. Simeone led Atletico to a second Champions League final in three years on Wednesday evening, going through on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw with Bayern Munich.The Argentine manager has been tenuously linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, but Balague reiterates that Atletico is perfect for him, and their move into their new stadium in the summer of 2017 will increase his desire to stay. Atletico Madrid players celebrate qualifying for the final of the Champions League Simeone would be the first one to say that Atletico fits him like a glove Balague told Sky Sports. Hes perfect. They understand what he wants, hes a former legend.He wants football that perhaps is not the prettiest - and sometimes he takes things to the limit - but its football that suits Atletico - counter-attacking football.He plays the card of: Were not very rich, we have to work hard for each other, its all about team values. They have more money than most but its a card Atletico are happy to play. Atletico will move out of the Vicente Calderon and into their new stadium in the summer of 2017 Can you take that to another club? Well have to see in the future but certainly he wants to take Atletico to the next level and that will be to a new stadium with more financial possibilities.Simeone has been widely praised for his work at Atletico since arriving in 2011, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Europa League since.His side were unfancied at the quarter-final stage against champions Barcelona, and aagain against Bayern Munich in the last four, and Balague believes Atleticos style of play is indicative of the faith the players have in their manager.dddddddddddd Simeone says their Champions League final appearance is just reward for Atletico Madrids hard work over the last four years Its the hardest thing in football to have an idea, to believe in it and to convince everyone that thats the way to go.Thats what everyone is doing at Atletico under Simeone. Every player has become a better player. Some of them certainly could play a different style - they could have more of the ball, some would fit in well at Bayern, for example - but theyve abandoned that to follow the Simeone approach.Is it pretty? You can argue about that. Is it effective? You have to say that two Champions League finals in three years is extraordinary.
