RALEIGH, N.C. -- Matt Dayes has been determined all season to be North Carolina States first 1,000-yard rusher in more than a decade and get the Wolfpack back to a bowl.Both goals are within reach Saturday against Miami in the teams home finale.The senior is 61 yards away from becoming the programs first runner to gain 1,000 yards in a season since T.A. McLendon did it in 2002. And considering the Wolfpacks offense has run its best when Dayes is moving the chains, hes likely to get a heavy load as N.C. State (5-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) tries to become bowl eligible for the third straight year.Obviously were always trying to establish the line of scrimmage, offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz said. Were just trying to find ways to win football games and move the ball up and down the field. And Matts a very effective way to do that.Dayes, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is the leagues No. 3 rusher at 93.9 yards per game to go with seven scores and a 4.8 yards-per-carry average. More than half of his yards have come after contact, a sign that Dayes isnt afraid to run through tackles.He has seven 100-yard performances in 10 games this year, including last weeks 108-yard day with three touchdowns.Miami (6-4, 3-3) enters this game near the middle of the ACC in rushing defense (140.2) and holding opponents to 3.5 yards per carry, but the Hurricanes rank 13th nationally in scoring defense (19.3 points).That hasnt happened for them in a while, Miami coach Mark Richt said of Dayes run for 1,000, and I know theyre probably trying to knock that out this game. Thatll be a challenge for our guys.Miami has already secured bowl eligibility in its first season under Richt, and has bounced back with from a four-game losing streak with two straight wins.---Some other things to know about Saturdays Miami-N.C. State game:STYLE CLASH? Miami likes to be a quick-hitting offense and N.C. State is fine with a more methodical tempo-controlling approach. The Wolfpack had two touchdown drives of at least 6 minutes against Syracuse last week alone -- while Miami has had only one such drive in the entire season. They will definitely take what you give them, I can definitely say that, Miami defensive back Rayshawn Jenkins said.MOVING AGAIN: Miami has racked up 85 points and 984 yards in the past two games after failing to reach 30 points during its four-game skid. We blocked better, we executed most everything better, and we started a little faster, Richt said. We didnt get behind.KAAYA WATCH: Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya comes into the game with 9,004 career yards, 482 shy of tying Ken Dorsey for No. 1 on the Hurricanes all-time list. And he might need to be very sharp on Saturday, since N.C. State has allowed opponents only 3.0 yards per carry this season. The Hurricanes will test that with perhaps the ACCs best 1-2 rushing punch in Mark Walton and Joe Yearby; theyve combined for 5.7 yards per rush.INTANGIBLES: Richt said having a team thats pursuing bowl eligibility can make it easier to motivate your team. Throw in the fact that its the Wolfpacks Senior Day, and the coach knows his Hurricanes will face a tough test. Theres a lot of motivation thats kind of naturally built into this thing for them, and we have our reasons to be excited too now, Richt said. But two of those reasons right there, I think, play to their advantage.RIVALS, SORT OF: Most ACC teams in opposite divisions dont meet very often, and this is Miamis first visit to Raleigh since the final game of the 2008 regular season. The Hurricanes have played road games in 26 other cities since that trip eight years ago. No current N.C. State player has ever faced Miami.---AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds in Miami contributed to this report.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Bradley Zimmer Jersey .

DFS golf heads to Saint Simons Island, Georgia, this week for The RSM Classic. Last year, South Carolina native and University of Georgia product Kevin Kisner took home the victory, and he returns in 2016 looking for a chance to repeat.Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This weeks panel comprises Jason Sobel, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Jason Sobel -- Zach Johnson ($9,700)Pick a resident, any resident. Sea Island is home to a growing percentage of PGA Tour professionals these days, which means plenty of guys in this weeks field will be sleeping in their own beds. Ill take Johnson, who hasnt won since last years Open Championship but should be due for another title soon.Michael Collins -- Matt Kuchar ($11,200)In the five times he has played this event, he has never finished outside the top 25. This is a home game for Kuchar, so this year playing on two courses (Seaside and Plantation) should give him just a slight advantage over many of the other players.Jonathan Coachman -- Zach Johnson ($9,700)This week I am going with someone who is always comfortable playing in this part of the country because he lives there -- Johnson. He hasnt had the year he would have wanted, but winning in the final event of 2016 can change all of that. And this week, he gets the job done.Taras Pitra -- Roberto Castro ($8,200)Castro has had a really good 2016 season and hasnt missed a cut in about four months. Many will look at his finishing position and price and go elsewhere, but I dont think thats a wise move this week. Hes a strong tee-to-green player who just needs the putter to show up in order to contennd.dddddddddddd Hes not really a flashy name in the industry, but hes a strong, high-upside candidate this week and should primarily be considered for tournaments.Jeff Bergerson -- Hudson Swafford ($7,700)One of the most difficult things to do in DFS golf is to get all six of your players through the cut, so when you can lock in a guy who has made 16 consecutive cuts, you do not hesitate. Although Swafford has not shown big upside, his price remains reasonable at $7,700 and allows you flexibility with the rest of your roster. A University of Georgia product, Swafford has missed two of three cuts in this event but did have a 12th-place finish in 2014. I would recommend utilizing Swafford mostly for cash-game purposes this week.Zach Turcotte -- Billy Horschel ($8,600)After playing a relaxed schedule last season, Horschel returned to the Tour this fall and promptly missed the cut a week ago in Mexico. Although it has been a number of years since his last stop in Sea Island, his game should fit well in this event. Hes a solid ball striker with balance on length, accuracy and hitting greens. After missing the cut last week, Horschel comes at a nice discount, and in a field this soft, hes a strong bounce-back play this week.Jason Rouslin -- Stewart Cink ($6,900)Stewart comes home to Sea Island Resort course off back-to-back 15th-place finishes. Im sure spending time at home with his wife, who is battling cancer, and coming in with some great recent form will give him all the extra motivation he needs. He has made the cut in only three of five starts here, so if you need reason not to roster him, thats it. I expect him to be around for the weekend and look for his first top 10 here in Georgia. ' ' '
