PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi hasnt lost faith in his secondary, though theres plenty to work on after surrendering 872 yards through the air in the last two games, including 540 to Oklahoma States Mason Rudolph in a 45-38 loss on Saturday.Theyve got to understand it works when you do it right, Narduzzi said Monday. It doesnt work if you dont do it right. If you continue to do it your way, were going to have problems.The Panthers had plenty of issues against the Cowboys, namely keeping Oklahoma State wide receivers within arms reach.It started on the first play -- a 91-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Rudolph to Washington -- and never really stopped, the winning score with 1:28 remaining coming after an 86-yard strike from Rudolph to Jhajuan Sales. Narduzzi made sure to spread the blame around, from the coaching staff to pass rush to cornerbacks defensive backs like Avonte Maddox, who spent the majority of the afternoon on the wrong end of highlight reel catches by Washington.Maddox took responsibility afterward, though Narduzzi stressed he has no interest in making personnel changes heading into this weeks ACC opener against North Carolina (2-1).Avonte Maddox is our best corner, Narduzzi said.One who will need to shrug it off quickly if the Panthers (2-1) want to take a step forward in the wide-open Coastal Division. The Tar Heels are the defending division champion and quarterback Mitch Trubisky had touchdown throws of 71 and 75 yards in a breezy 56-28 victory over James Madison over the weekend. Trubisky, however, isnt ready to say his team has a decided advantage while facing the 102nd ranked pass defense in the country.I think theyre a lot better than what theyve given up and I think theyre going to come in here very hungry so weve got to have a great week of practice if we want to do something like that, Trubisky said on Monday. I think theyre going to come in here with the mindset that theyre going to shut us down and really clean up what theyve got going on defense.Just dont expect any sort of major schematic overhaul. Narduzzi made his name by making Michigan States defense one of the best in the country while serving nearly a decade as defensive coordinator for Mark Dantonio and has instituted an aggressive approach in which the Panthers find exotic ways to bring pressure.Pitt can get to the quarterback. The Panthers are tied for fifth in the country in sacks (13) and tied the game in the third quarter against the Cowboys when Ejuan Price barreled into Rudolph and Matt Galambos returned the ensuing fumble 2 yards for a touchdown.The problem is what happens when the rush doesnt collapse the pocket.The (defensive) line definitely has to own some of that, Price said. We left the DBs out to dry and we have to own that.Maybe, but Narduzzi is well aware that the guys in the defensive backfield have to do their job too.They are on an island out there and eventually they have to make a play on the ball, he said. It doesnt really matter what the coverage is. Its hard to give them help all the time.---AP College Football site: www.collegefootball.ap.org Mike Bantom Jersey .

NEW YORK -- A lawyer for a couple who claim Sacramento Kings players Matt Barnes and DeMarcus Cousins assaulted them at a nightclub said Thursday theyll rely on videotapes, medical reports and the testimony of witnesses to prove they were attacked.The lawyer, Michael S. Lamonsoff, spoke at a news conference as the couple, Jasmine Besiso and Myrone Powell, held hands nearby a day after their federal lawsuit alleged Barnes choked and knocked Besiso unconscious before both players attacked Powell with punches and kicks inside a Manhattan nightclub on Monday.Lamonsoff said Barnes attacked Besiso, a hairstylist, after trying to choke another woman earlier in the night. He said he hopes the other woman comes forward to authorities. He said Besiso and Powell didnt know the players before the altercation.He said the players were using their celebrity status and vast resources to distort the truth.In an Instagram post Monday, Barnes said: Theres always two sides to a story .. The side the media consistently tries to paint of me .... And what actually happened! Dont believe everything you read.Attorney Alex Spiro, representing both players, said, We dont believe a crime was committed, and were continuing to cooperate with the authorities.Spiro declined to comment on the lawsuit or on whether his clients had spoken to police or prosecutors. Police said earlier in the week they were looking to speak with Barnes, who had left the nightclub with Cousins before police arrived.Lamonsooff did not specify how much money he seeks from the civil lawsuit.ddddddddddddThe lawsuit said that Barnes choked Besiso and that Powell, her boyfriend, intervened. It said Cousins then punched Powell as Barnes knocked Besiso unconscious with his elbow.Barnes and Cousins and others who were with them at the nightclub then punched and kicked Powell, the lawsuit said. The couple were treated at a hospital. No one was arrested.Besiso said she was outraged and disgusted by whats happened to me. She added: I want the truth to come out.Powell, one eye swollen and bruised, said he was appalled that video of the players leaving the club showed them boasting and gloating about the encounter.Besiso and Powell, a video director and photographer, live in New York.Lamonsoff said he believed there are video recordings from inside the club, though he had not seen them. He said videotapes, witness testimony and medical records that showed serious injuries to his clients would support the lawsuit.He said the lawsuit was filed to hold Barnes and Cousins accountable for their deplorable and cowardly actions.A year ago, Barnes was suspended for two games after he drove to the home of his now ex-wife to confront her new boyfriend, then-New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher. Fisher late wrote in an article that there was no fight but that Barnes had thrown punches. ' ' '
