CHAPEL HILL, N. Purple Uggs Boots .C. -- North Carolinas season opener ended up being a repeat of last years first game, down to letting a winnable game against a Southeastern Conference opponent slip away.The No. 22 Tar Heels now will find out whether they can repeat last years surge out of a crushing loss, too.It can be done and weve done it, junior defensive tackle Nazair Jones said Monday, but we cant lean on that to just say, `Oh, we did it last year, were just going to waltz in and do it again. We definitely still have to put that work in to get the job done.The Tar Heels lost 33-24 to No. 18 Georgia in Atlanta on Saturday. And much like last years opening loss to South Carolina, their run defense struggled, their starting quarterback couldnt get the high-scoring offense in gear and the teams top weapon -- tailback Elijah Hood -- just didnt get many carries despite finding holes.Last years team followed that Week 1 disappointment by winning 11 straight games, climbing into the top 10 of the Top 25 poll for the first time since 1997 and winning a division title to earn a trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. The Tar Heels will try to repeat that surge, starting Saturday at Illinois.Fifth-year coach Larry Fedora was quick to point out the first loss doesnt impact the Tar Heels primary goals of winning the ACCs Coastal Division, saying the league title and winning a mythical state title by beating every instate opponent on the schedule.You guys may find this hard to believe, but Im going to say I felt relief, all right? Fedora said of watching the film. Because flying home the other night, thats not the way I felt. After watching the film, Im like `OK, every issue we had was correctable. . Its not like, `We were deficient here, were not going to be able to hold up, now what are we going to have to do scheme-wise to cover that hole?He didnt have to look far to see the problems, either.Georgia ran for 289 yards behind Nick Chubb, just the latest huge performance allowed by a defense that has surrendered 1,561 yards on the ground in its last four games.The Tar Heels didnt get a strong performance from starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who missed on a couple of deep balls and couldnt get the offense into a consistent big-play rhythm that can wear out defenses.Then there was the lack of workload for Hood, a physical back who runs with a tackler-punishing style and gets better with more carries. A year after running for 138 yards but getting just 13 carries against South Carolina, Hood got just 10 carries for 72 yards to go with six catches for 28 yards against Georgia.While Hood and T.J. Logan (six carries for 80 yards and a touchdown) combined for 16 carries, Trubisky threw 40 times but managed just 156 yards. And an offense that averaged program records of 40.7 points and 486.9 yards last year finished with 315 yards against the Bulldogs.For me, its not really looking at the numbers, Trubisky said. Its all about feel. And I feel like we were inconsistent.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ;Grey Ugg Boots Sale .

LOS ANGELES -- Pitcher Rich Hill, considered one of the top free-agent starters on the market, is closing in on a deal to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to ESPNs Jim Bowden and multiple reports.?The left-hander, who was acquired from the Oakland Athletics at the non-waiver trade deadline Aug. 1, was a key for the Dodgers down the stretch and on into the postseason.The potential deal, first reported by MLB Networks Peter Gammons, is believed to be for three seasons and more than $40 million. The Dodgers have not confirmed the potential deal, which would lock up one of their key free agents this offseason. The Dodgers continue to negotiate with third baseman Justin Turner and closer Kenley Jansen.Hill, who will turn 37 in March, would be the Dodgers projected No. 2 starter behind staff ace Clayton Kershaw. He won three of his six regular-season starts with the team and posted a 1.83 ERA. He then delivered a 3.46 ERA in three postseason starts, winning Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs.When acquired by the Dodgers from the As, along with outfielder Josh Reddick, Hill was on the disabled list because of a blister issue on the middle finger of his left hand. He then developed another blister issue while rehabbing the initial problem. Black Ugg Boots Sale. He eventually made his Dodgers debut on Aug. 24, and was not scored upon during his first three starts. In fact, on Sept. 10 at Miami, Hill pitched seven perfect innings before he was removed from the game as a precaution after throwing 89 pitches. The Marlins broke up the perfect game and no-hitter an inning later against reliever Joe Blanton.It was the second time during the 2016 season that manager Dave Roberts removed his pitcher during a no-hitter. He also removed Ross Stripling from his major league debut after 7 1/3 no-hit innings at San Francisco, with the bullpen again unable to finish off the feat.Hill is 38-28 over his 12-year major league career, posting a 4.10 ERA in 221 career games. He was used mostly as a starter by the Cubs after making his major league debut in 2005 and before becoming primarily a reliever in 2010.After being cut loose by the Washington Nationals in spring training of 2015, Hill went to the independent Long Island Ducks, where he returned to a starting role. He eventually ended the 2015 season by making four starts with the Boston Red Sox, before signing with the As prior to the 2016 season.
