RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State suddenly seems to have a penalty problem.The Wolfpack nearly doubled their flag total with 13 of them for 144 yards in a win over Wake Forest -- the most flags since 2012. They know they cant afford to be nearly that undisciplined when Notre Dame visits this week.Linebacker Airius Moore on Monday called the penalty issue a huge emphasis for the week, especially calls for roughing the passer and pass interference on defense.We got 13 penalties and you cant expect to win a bunch of games with 13 penalties, Moore said. Weve got to make sure were not committing penalties and giving the offense extra yards.Coach Dave Doeren said hes asked the Atlantic Coast Conference office for an explanation on some of the chop blocks called against his team versus Wake Forest but has not received a response yet. He says the penalty issue has been talked about with the players.For the first month of the season, penalties didnt seem like a huge issue. The Wolfpack (3-1) averaged about five flags and ranked fifth in the league with 52.7 yards in penalties through three games.That all changed in the ACC opener against the Demon Deacons.Starting safety Shawn Boone was ejected for targeting in the second half and will miss the first half of the Notre Dame game because of it. Flags for unnecessary roughness and chop blocks piled up as the Wolfpack amassed season worsts in both total penalties and yardage. It was their most flags since they drew 14 in a loss at Miami four years ago.We could have prevented a lot of those, receiver Cole Cook said, but I was glad we didnt let those distract us from what we needed to do.Still, it increased their average by more than 20 yards, and left them ranked 12th in the league and 113th nationally in yards penalized per game. Their average of 7.5 flags dropped them to 11th in the ACC and 99th in the Football Bowl Subdivision.Theyve had at least seven penalties in every game but one, a 49-22 win over Old Dominion in Week 3 in which they were flagged just twice.The Fighting Irish havent been much better. Theyre 71st nationally in penalty yardage (56.8) and 49th with 5.8 penalties per game, and in a strange coincidence had season worsts of nine penalties for 94 yards in arguably their most complete performance -- a 39-10 rout of Nevada.They also lost a player to targeting in their last game -- freshman Devin Studstill, who was ejected in the first half of the Syracuse win.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap .

Calvin Johnson Youth Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. CHICAGO -- Scott Servais cant underestimate the value that Kyle Seager adds to his Seattle Mariners lineup.But take the power-hitting third baseman away like he has been for the past two games with a bruised foot and things change. It becomes increasingly more evident when the Mariners will face a full complement of left-handed pitchers over the next three games against the Chicago White Sox starting Friday when ace Chris Sale takes the mound.Seager, who is hitting .286 with 24 home runs and 83 RBI, hopes to return this weekend after fouling a pitch off his foot earlier this week. But considering the challenge the Mariners face Friday against Sale (15-6), Servais would rather have Seager back sooner than later.So would Seager.I would have loved to play the last two days, Seager said after Thursday nights 7-6 loss to the White Sox.Said Servais: Hes a key guy for in the middle of that line-up. We miss him when hes not in there.Despite his 15 victories, Sale has been shaky of late, losing five of his last seven starts. But Sale allowed only three hits over eight innings Saturday against Oakland heading into Fridays start when he will face Felix Hernandez, who has won four straight starts.While Servais continues to have to make his adjustments to content with Chicagos string of lefties that will include Jose Quintana on Saturday and Carlos Rodon on Sunday, he understands what kind of challenge Sale presents.Thats where Hernandezs ability to shut down opposing teams. Heernandez (8-4) hasnt allowed more than two runs in his past three starts, giving Servais some indication that Friday may be a low-scoring affair.dddddddddddd(Sales) one of the better pitchers in the league, but I think our guy (Hernandez) is one of the better pitchers in the league -- it should be a good game, Servais said.While the Mariners remain in playoff contention, the White Sox continue to try to battle despite big offseason changes could be coming. General manager Rick Hahn said Thursday that he, executive vice president Kenny Williams and White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf have a plan they will execute once of the offseason arrives.Williams said earlier this week that the White Sox have got to get some things together as the regular season begins to wind down. But Hahn said that the top priority remains the present.Regardless of which direction it is -- full rebuild or add on --were still in the middle of the season, Hahn said. We have 25 guys in there trying to win a ballgame tonight. If I were to say were going to do a full rebuild thats disrespectful to what theyre trying to accomplish.Were working on (an offseason plan), exploring a lot of angles internally trying to come up with priorities so we can hit the ground running when the time is appropriate. But in terms of laying that out publicly, it simply isnt the right time. [ts disrespectful to what theyre trying to accomplish.Wholesale Basketball Jerseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
