ATLANTA -- Mark Richt will be looking for offensive balance in his first Atlantic Coast Conference game as Miamis coach.Richts opponent, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson, will try to restart the spread-option offense while hosting No. 14 Miami on Saturday.The Yellow Jackets were held to 124 total yards, their lowest total in nine years under Johnson, in last weeks 26-7 loss to No. 5 Clemson.Johnson said his offense was in disarray and took a more hands-on role with the unit in practice this week.Miami (3-0, 0-0 ACC) has enjoyed a strong start under Richt, with lopsided wins over Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic and Appalachian State.Georgia Tech (3-1, 1-1) opened its season by beating Boston College in Dublin and had its offense rolling when it overwhelmed Vanderbilt 38-7 on Sept. 17. All momentum was lost when Clemsons defense shut down the Yellow Jackets.Though the early schedule was soft, Miami leads the nation with its average of 7.7 points allowed. Johnson said his offensive players have to show better poise than against Clemson.You cant play the game afraid to make a mistake, Johnson said. You just cant. You have to go play and have confidence in your ability that you can play with those guys and you can hang with them.Miami running back Mark Walton has seven rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Brad Kaaya has thrown seven TD passes.We put a lot of pride in being able to run the ball well, Richt said. When people talk about balance, balance for me is if they pack everybody in the box to stop the run, then we must be able to throw good enough in those situations.If they start double-covering our receivers, and give us a softer box as far as numbers, we must be able to run the ball. I think weve got a good mix of that.Here are some things to know about Miamis visit to Georgia Tech:SCOUTING MIAMI: The Hurricanes are looking for what would be their second 4-0 start since 2004; they also won their first four games in 2013, when they went on to start 7-0. But Miami has been somewhat vulnerable in the game preceding its annual showdown with Florida State, going 4-4 in its last eight such games. The Hurricanes play host to the Seminoles next week.APOLOGIES, PRESBYTERIAN: Johnson was critical of his offense, but he also sought perspective when reminding reporters Clemson played for the national championship last year and may have a stronger defense this season. Well see how it plays out this week, he said. We didnt lose to Presbyterian, guys.RICHT REUNION: Richt won two Southeastern Conference championships in 15 years at Georgia before he was fired after the 2015 season. He quickly landed at Miami, his alma mater. He said his extended family, including his parents, brother and sisters, still live in Athens and will attend the game.BYE BLUES: Miami is one of four teams who got more than a week to get ready for a game against Georgia Tech this season. Georgia Southern gets 10 days before facing the Yellow Jackets on Oct. 15, Duke has a bye week before playing Georgia Tech on Oct. 29 (the Yellow Jackets have the same bye week) and North Carolina is also off the week before it plays the Jackets on Nov. 5.I think thats a rule in our league. I think everybody takes a week off before they play us, Johnson said. For the record, this is Miamis first time with extra days before a Georgia Tech game since 2009.MILESTONE WATCH: Kaayas next touchdown pass will be his 50th as a member of the Hurricanes. Only Ken Dorsey (86) and Jacory Harris (70) have more. And Saturday will be the 200th game of Richts career as a head coach; he enters this one with a 148-51 record.---AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds in Miami contributed to this report.---AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.orgMark Radford Jersey .

Financially-stricken Durham have secured a financial rescue package from Durham County Council which will further help to secure the future of professional cricket in Englands most northerly outpost.Durham County Council has agreed to convert loans of £3.74m into shares, so freeing the county from interest payments on long-standing debts.Under the ECB-brokered settlement, Durham County Council has agreed to convert its debts into redeemable preference shares. The ECB has restructured Durham as a community interest company, which enables it to distribute up to 35% of profits - should they become available - to shareholders.The council has received interest payments of around £700,000 on their loans since 2009 - variously charging 4.7% and 7% annually on the loans. The councils own calculations state that with interest rates at record lows they would only have made £140,000 interest in the same period by conventional investments. The agreement follows the ECBs own £3.8m rescue package, which included writing off nearly £2m of its own loans to the county.That bailout came with punitive measures: the sacking of the Durham board, relegation from Division One of the Championship and penalty points in all three competitions at the start of next season.But Durham can stage ODIs and T20Is and it is here, combined with stringent cost cutting and a growth in their mediocre T20 attendances, where it is hoped future profitability lies.The terms of the ECB rescue package were enforced by the ECB after Durhams long-standing failures to attract investment into the club brought their financial problems to a head this year. Payments to service debt interest were running at nearly £1m a year.The ECB told the council that only one party - unnamed - had showed interest, but the approach was rejected because of their fit and proper person guidelines, which are designed to prevent clubs being bled dry by investors without its best interests at heart.Council representatives were told if they also failed to agree to the rescue there was a significant risk that the club would enter administration, leaving the bulk of their loan lost. Durham County Council already owns the land the clubs Riverside ground is built on, and leases it to the club.A cursory Durham statement said: The clubs difficult financial position was brought to a head earlier in the year by the unexpected calling in of a long term loan and the challenge of securing, in time, private development investment.The club is pleased that this has been achieved without the need ffor significant public debt write off as has been the case elsewhere in cricket.ddddddddddddDurhams secrecy has long been illustrated by their refusal to reveal the identity of two long-term financial backers in the Middle East who are no longer involved with the club.Durham County Council has shown rather more detailed commitment to local democracy than the cricket club it has now helped to save.A council report available here states: DCCC had hoped that commercial and residential developments on the site could have provided much needed financial security but it was unlikely that these benefits could be realised quickly enough.Over the last three years the council has worked with DCCC to significantly reduce their costs with circa £1million in costs taken out of the business - mainly from a significant reduction on player costs.Similarly, the council has worked closely with the club to drive forward commercial development of the site including a hotel and conference centre which would help derive additional income for the club.Without additional financial support from the ECB via an all creditor agreement and a restructuring of loans or a significant injection of capital from an alternate source, the club could not continue to run on a solvent basis and across the summer appointed an insolvency practitioner to advise the Board on options available to it.The appointed insolvency practitioner (RSM UK) undertook soft market testing to gauge interest in purchasing the club across the summer, although they were unable to find suitable buyers.There has been less support so far in writing off or converting debts into equity from other creditors.Both CR Financial Solutions, a London-based company which focuses on real estate, bought out Durhams outstanding bank debt of £788,000, and the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, is owed £771,000. Both have been unresponsive. The clubs outgoing directors depart with collective debts of £415,000 still owed to them.The ECB is expected to take on the bank debt from CR Financial Solutions, so protecting the future of the ground, and further increasing its own indebtedness.It has already agreed to write off nearly £2m of loans and, as part of the deal, has withdrawn Durhams Test match status, a convenient solution to the recognition that the dash for growth over the past decade or so has left more grounds seeking Test fixtures than are sustainable.
