After consecutive storybook endings, North Carolina probably could use a little breather, but the Tar Heels are not going to get it.Florida State, the 37-35 victim last week on Nick Weilers 54-yard field goal as time ran out, was just the first of a three-game stretch that likely will determine the postseason fate for the Heels, who have won four in a row since dropping their opener to Georgia.Next up: Virginia Tech on Saturday, the only home date for the Heels in the month of October. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill.First-year coach Justin Fuentes Hokies have recovered from a big loss to Tennessee in Bristol and have won their last two game to improve to 3-1 on the season overall and 1-0 in ACC play. They were idle last week as the Tar Heels improved to 2-0 in league play.They look really good on film right now, said Carolina coach Larry Fedora, whose team scored with two seconds left to get by Pittsburgh 37-36 in its league opener a week before knocking off the Seminoles. Maybe even more than I expected since I havent had a chance before now to see them.Theyre playing great football, and I can see why their sitting in the position theyre in right now, ranked in the Top 25.Both the Hokies and the Tar Heels jumped into this weeks poll with the Heels, who were No. 22 in the preseason but dropped out after the loss to the Bulldogs, at No. 17 and the Hokies at No. 25.Coach Fuente has brought a high-powered offense in that has made them extremely explosive, Fedora said, singling out quarterback Jerod Evans for his play. Their quarterback is somebody that can beat you with his legs and his arm.And then you have Bud Foster there dialing it up on the defense. He will make sure they are good on defense.Evans is the teams No. 2 rusher 209 yards to running back Travon McMillians 212 and is passing for an average of 241 yards a game. That works out to an average of over 290 yards a game in total offense for the junior transfer from Trinity Valley (Texas) Community College.Foster, of course, is Techs longtime Tech defensive coordinator, a holdover from coach Frank Beamers staff who has the Hokies at No. 9 in total defense statistically among FBS teams, limiting foes to just 264.3 yards a game rushing and passing.The Hokies are No. 10 in pass defense in giving up just 150.8 yards a game through the air. That goes right at the strength of a North Carolina offense that has averaged 342 yards a game passing behind junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky (76.0 completion percentage and no interceptions in his last 240 pass attempts going back to 2014) and a talented and deep receiving corps.Senior wide receiver Ryan Switzer has a team-high 47 catches for the season, but he has plenty of support from junior Austin Proehl (19 receptions, 269 yards) and seniors Bug Howard (18-261) and Mack Hollins (13-252).Tech doesnt have that kind of depth at receiver but still has experienced a resurgence on offense since behind held to under 400 yards in total offense in the loss to Tennessee. The Hokies recorded a season high 476 yards rushing and passing against a well-regarded Boston College defense and came back with 462 in a win over East Carolina.Like a Krispy Kreme doughnut with the Hot sign on, Hokies wide receiver Cam Phillips said when asked what its been like to be a part of the red-hot offense.This will be Techs first game as a ranked team against a ranked opponent since No. 13 Michigan beat the 17th ranked Hokies in overtime in the 2012 Sugar Bowl.Techs last contest as a ranked team came on Sept. 13, 2014. The Hokies moved into the top 25 after a big road victory over Ohio State, then promptly lost at home to East Carolina the following week.My opinion on being ranked is youre not truly ranked until you defend your rank, Hokies offensive lineman Augie Conte said. The number next to our name wont help us win. Adidas NMD R2 Primeknit .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. Adidas NMD R1 Nere .

NEW YORK -- With his mink coat left in the locker room, Conor McGregor is set to take a swing at UFC history.No metal chair needed.McGregor, who attempted to use a chair in a violent fashion at a pre-fight press conference, can become the first UFC fighter to hold championship belts in two divisions at the same time.Its never even been close to a reality in this game, in the UFC, McGregor said. And then to do it on such a monumental stage like this, of course, this will be one of my shining moments.Imagine, McGregor strutting out of Madison Square Garden with two title belts over his shoulder in the same arena where the New York Rangers and New York Knicks arent even factors for one championship.McGregor, boffo at the box office, earned his headline shot at a slice of UFC history once mixed martial arts and New York ended a two-decade fight and legalized the sport.New York stripped the no shirt, no shoes, no service sign down and UFC stormed in with perhaps the most loaded card in the promotions history. McGregor fights UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in the main event of UFC 205 on Saturday night at MSG. Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends the womens strawweight title against Karolina Kowalkiewicz and UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley fights Stephen Thompson.Its a card so yuge, so bigly, so terrific and fantastic, that President-elect Donald Trump has told UFC President White he may sit cageside. Seeing Trump at MSG wouldnt be a surprise; White has talked about their friendship and even spoke at the Republican National Convention in July.StubHub sold seats no cheaper than $700 as of Friday afternoon and a pair of floor seats could be yours for a cool $30,000.Thats chump change for the Irish superstar McGregor. He rolled around New York in a custom-made black Rolls Royce Ghost with his Notorious nickname and his image emblazoned on the sides.UFC could never have imagined such an uncomfortable ride toward New York legalization.UFC worked for years on convincing politicians it made sense to regulate MMA and grant its fighters the opportunity to fight in the same venue as boxing champions like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. UFC often thumbed its nose at state lawmakers and held press conferences, fan expos, autograph sessions and meet-and-greets in Manhattan.UFC ran its biggest cards in the East -- including a Super Bowl weekend show in 2014 -- roughly 14 miles west of Madison Square Garden at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.State lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo agreed in April to end the ban. The law authorizing the sport took effect in September.The fight was ridiculous to get there, UFC President Dana White said. It should have never happened. But at the end of the day, it made it bigger.White billed 205 as the biggest, baddest fight card in UFC history, though the card was trimmed two bouts from the original slate. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans had a medical issue and his fight againsst Tim Kennedy was scrapped and booked for UFC 206.dddddddddddd. Kelvin Gastelum failed to make weight Friday and his fight against Donald Cowboy Cerrone was canceled. Cerrone will be paid his show money and rebooked on a future card.MSG will be stuffed with nearly 20,000 fans, 250 credentialed journalists, and make a serious run at some of the arenas gate record.Heres some of what theyll see:-----ALVAREZ (C) vs. MCGREGORAlvarez, a Philadelphia native, makes his first title defense since he defeated Rafael Dos Anjos for the belt in July. Alvarez (28-4) also held the lightweight title in Bellator and has won the biggest bouts in front of him in various promotions.He certainly doesnt have McGregors name recognition. But he does have that belt. McGregor, also UFCs featherweight champ following a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo, could be forced to vacate one of the belts if he holds both. White hasnt decided if he will let McGregor defend championships in two classes. McGregor (20-3) made retirement threats earlier this year when he balked at some promotional demands and was yanked from UFC 200. He promised a big announcement after Saturdays fight, though he offered few hints about his future.Alvarez had said he would welcome a gimme fight with McGregor. McGregor vowed to retire Alvarez and attempt to swing a chair at the champs direction during a theatrical press conference at MSG.As far as the prediction, I believe fourth round, McGregor said. I know hes durable. I dont believe hes been hit by anybody like me.-----WOODLEY (C) VS. THOMPSONWoodley (16-3) is making his first title defense since he KOd Robbie Lawlor in the first round at UFC 201. Thompson (13-1) has defeated Rory MacDonald and Johny Hendricks as part of a seven-fight winning streak that earned him a shot at the title.Woodley, a collegiate wrester at the University of Missouri, looks to validate his title reign against one on the top strikers in MMA in Thompson.Ive been working on my wrestling tremendously, Thompson said. Every time I step out there, I expect to get taken down, but Im ready for it and Ill pop right back up and get the fight where I want to keep it, and thats standing.-----JEDRZEJCZYK (C) VS. KOWALKIEWICZThis battle of unbeaten Polish fighters turned vicious when Jedrzejczyk (12-0) head-butted Kowalkiewicz (10-0) during a pre-fight staredown.UFC has hyped this fight throughout Poland and every Polish bar it could find in New York. Jedrzejczyk shared a spot on the card with Ronda Rousey last year in Australia. She gets top billing this time on a card that also boasts former champ Miesha Tate fighting Raquel Pennington.I know that Im not the prettiest one, Im not having big boobies or Im not American, Jedrzejczyk said. But I want people remember me as the best female fighter and as the undefeated MMA and the UFC champion of the world. ' ' '
