RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conference is showing a lot of new offensive looks.The changes start with the four teams that hired new coaching staffs. Next, Boston College, North Carolina State and Pittsburgh hired new offensive coordinators, while Louisville added a co-coordinator behind play-calling head coach Bobby Petrino. Finally, rivals Duke and North Carolina promoted coordinators to add their own touches to their same schemes from a year ago.In all, those 10 teams averaged 39.2 points and 445.2 yards in their openers, many coming against overmatched opponents. And five of the 10 racked up more than 520 total yards, the start of a season-long effort to build those attacks.Its just play to your strengths, said new Wolfpack offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz, who was at Boise State last year. Dont get caught up in, `Weve got to do this and weve got to do that. Youve got to play to your strengths and make sure your offense is still moving in the right direction.All the coaching turnover is making things tougher on defensive coaches, too.UNC second-year defensive coordinator Gene Chizik opened against a new staff at Georgia, faces another one this week at Illinois, then plays six of eight ACC games against teams with new head coaches or offensive coordinators.It does make it difficult, because youre looking, really, at a compilation of a lot of things -- a lot of years, a lot of teams theyve been on previously, Chizik said. Youre using your best, educated guess. You dont ever really know until you get in the game and you see exactly whats happening. So that really makes it hard in your first couple of games, for sure.Miami, Syracuse, Virginia and Virginia Tech made the biggest moves by bringing in new coaching staffs. Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt is calling plays for the first time in a decade for an offense that otherwise will look much like last year behind veteran quarterback Brad Kaaya.The changes are much more pronounced for the Orange, Cavaliers and Hokies.New Orange coach Dino Babers is known for strong offenses from his time as a Baylor assistant, and as a head coach at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green. His Syracuse team is incorporating some of Baylors up-tempo spread with pro-style principles after using a spread option, and had 554 yards in the opener against Colgate.The Cavaliers ran a deliberate, pro-style offense under Mike London but are speeding up tempo under former BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall and coordinator Robert Anae.The Hokies, similarly, were a huddle and run-first attack under Frank Beamer. Theyre now trying to push the pace under former Memphis coach Justin Fuente and coordinator Brad Cornelsen, using 10 players to run the ball in the opener against Liberty to keep players fresh amid the faster tempo.Coach Fuentes told us that hes going to give a bunch of guys the ball and a bunch of guys a chance to carry the ball, running back Sam Rogers said. I dont really know how theyre going to call the game. Thats up to them. Weve just got to run the play and execute it but we know that a lot of people have chances in this offense, which makes it a lot of fun.At N.C. State, head coach Dave Doeren turned to Drinkwitz to install a control-the-tempo attack to spark an offense that looked stagnant at times last season. The Wolfpack opened this year with 521 yards and 48 points against William & Mary.The changes elsewhere are more subtle.The man Drinkwitz replaced with the Wolfpack, Matt Canada, is now at Pittsburgh to run an attack still built around a powerful running game. The Panthers managed just 261 yards in their opening win against Villanova, though coach Pat Narduzzi said he thought it was more of a case of first-game jitters.The may have been the case and many of the new offenses are still taking shape. But that doesnt mean teams are slowing implementing the changes.Were not trying to take baby steps, Drinkwitz said. Were pushing this thing full speed. Thats what were doing. Were not easing our way into the water.---AP Sports Writers Gary B.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Hope Solo is blaming the American media for spreading fear about the Zika virus and other problems ahead of the Rio Games.Hoping to lead the U.S. to its fourth straight gold medal, Solo had expressed her own concerns before the Olympics.We havent made it to Rio yet and I have no idea what to expect in Rio, but its been beautiful here, Solo said ahead of Wednesdays opener against New Zealand, to be played in the same city where the U.S. men upset England in the 1950 World Cup.Its a little bit unfortunate because I think the American media has been really tough on people of Brazil, Solo said. I feel a little bit bad because when you come here you learn for yourself. I think that weve been very hard on the local people.The Americans are trying to win a title for the second straight year following last years triumph in the Womens World Cup. Solo, in her third Olympics, said it seemed problems in Brazil were being blown out of proportion by media in the U.S.You look back in 2004 in Greece, and the same thing there, bad publicity surrounding the games, and China as well, said the 35-year-old from Richland, Washington. I dont know why, but we like to sensationalize everything and scare people and then ... when the games go on, everything goes on as planned, ends up being a beautiful tournament. And I expect no less here.Solo said she expects everything to be fine by the time the team gets to Rio despite the widespread concerns related to the games, including Zika, water pollution, security and shoddy construction.Solo said she came to Brazil well prepared, especially against Zika.I actually spoke to three different infectious disease doctors and specialists, she expplained.dddddddddddd I spoke to them on the phone with my husband as well, and we got to a point where we asked enough questions. We prepared ourselves as best as possible and we got to a level of being as comfortable as we possibly can be.Im wearing mosquito repellent just in case, I know the odds are very small but you can never be too safe, she added. Im at a point in my life that I just want to be safe.Before traveling to Brazil, Solo posted on Twitter a few photos showing her concerns about Zika, including one of her wearing a hat with mosquito netting that covered her entire head and neck. The image prompted criticism against her in Brazil and caused her to apologize when she arrived in the country.I heard that there were some negative responses here in Brazil, she said. I never would want to offend the host country. In fact, Im cheering for Team USA, but besides Team USA, Im going to be cheering for the host country. Im very grateful for them for hosting the tournament. Honestly, everybody around here has been so just nice and genuine and it feels very warming to be here.Solo has been trying to avoid a trial on misdemeanor domestic violence charges after a 2014 incident at her sisters home, when the goalkeeper was accused of being intoxicated and assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew. Solo said she was a victim in the altercation. Two months ago, an appeals court in Washington state rejected Solos request to avoid trial.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni .
