CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina coach Larry Fedora is trying to solve a penalty problem entering Atlantic Coast Conference play.The Tar Heels are one of the nations most penalized teams heading into Saturdays game against Pittsburgh. Theyre coming off a game in which they were called for five unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, leaving Fedora irked after an easy win that included the seasons best performance by first-year starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky.I talked to the entire team, Fedora said. Its unacceptable and were going to deal with it, and hopefully our guys will play smarter.UNC (2-1) ranks 115th nationally by averaging 85.7 penalty yards per game and 13th in the 14-team ACC ahead of only No. 13 Florida State. The Tar Heels started with 13 penalties for 101 yards in the opening loss to Georgia, a total that included an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Fedora while angrily reacting to a call. Two weeks later, UNC had another flag-heavy game with 10 penalties for 110 yards in a 56-28 win against James Madison of the Championship Subdivision.That included 75 yards in penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties -- three after touchdowns by either team -- against the Dukes, with defensive tackle Jalen Dalton picking up two while cornerback Des Lawrence, receiver Austin Proehl and defensive end Tyler Powell each had one. Fedora quickly brought up the penalties during his postgame comments without being asked by reporters, saying he could understand some penalties while trying to make a play but were not going to screw up after the whistle.Fedora promised the team would address it immediately, but he didnt get into specifics as to how. He said Monday that while there werent extra conditioning drills for the team, there was what he only described as positive reinforcement to deal with penalties caused by frustration and selfishness.Still, this isnt a new issue during Fedoras five-year tenure.The Tar Heels ranked last in the ACC with an average of about 64 penalty yards per game during each of his first two seasons in 2012 and 2013. They were 13th in 2014 and ranking among the nations worst in all three seasons.Things changed last year, when the Tar Heels did a better job of avoiding mistakes and rose to fifth in the ACC (36th nationally) by cutting that average to around 46 yards. Perhaps its no coincidence that they matched a program record with 11 wins last season, too.To do it again, the Tar Heels know they have to stop the 2016 backslide.As leaders of the team, were definitely focused on that, that we cant have that because its going to cost our team down the road, Trubisky said.

LOUIS -- St. Louis right-hander Chris Carpenter has been slowed in his attempt to come back from neck and shoulder nerve damage and will skip his next rehab start. The 2005 Cy Young Award winner struggled Saturday in his latest minor league outing, allowing four runs and nine hits in 3 1-3 innings for the Cardinals Triple-A farm club in Memphis. "Im going to take a little bit of time (off)," Carpenter said Tuesday. "After that last start, it just wasnt what we were looking for." The 38-year-old Carpenter said he felt numbness in his hand during the 8-1 loss to Oklahoma City, and the condition hasnt subsided. "Were going to take a step back -- again," Carpenter saiid.dddddddddddd He expects to consult with the Cardinals medical staff over the next few days before planning his next move. Carpenter missed most of last season because of shoulder and neck injuries that resulted in neurogenic thoracic outlet surgery in July 2012. He began feeling better in early May this year and went through several successful bullpen sessions before making a rehab start for Double-A Springfield (Mo.) on July 15. The outing on Saturday was the second during his comeback. "Were going to be cautious as we move forward with this," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Carpenter has 144 career wins and is third in Cardinals history with 1,085 strikeouts. ' ' '
