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 Paul George Shoes From China .

PARIS -- The French Grand Prix will return to the Formula One calendar in 2018 after a 10-year absence.Christian Estrosi, the head of the Provence-Alpes-Cote dAzur region, said Monday that the race will be organized at the Paul Ricard circuit in southern France.The worlds oldest grand prix was first held in 1906 but was dropped from the calendar in 2008 because of financial issues.The Paul Ricard circuit, also known as Le Castellet, last hosted the French GP in 1990. The race was organized at Magny-Cours from 1991-2008.Estrosi said French officials have sealed a five-year deal with F1 organizers. Financial terms were not disclosed.Losing the grand prix was a true scar for our country, Estrosi said at the Automobile Club de France. I can today make the firm and definitive announcement that the Grand Prix de France will return at the Paul Ricard circuit as soon as the 2018 summer.The announcement came just days after the German Grand Prix was dropped from the 2017 calendar.Estrosi paid tribute to the late driver Jules Bianchi, who died last year following a long battle to recover from major hhead injuries sustained at the Japanese GP in October 2014.ddddddddddddm dedicating this big return to my friend Jules, Estrosi said. My thoughts are with his family.Jean Todt, the president of motorsports world governing body, said the return of the French GP is an enormous satisfaction for FIA.This is big news for France and its capacity to host major international events, Todt said in a pre-recorded message. Le Castellet has been modernized and has all the required qualities to organize this event.According to Estrosi, the track shareholders have invested 80 million euros ($85.6 million) since 2002 to renovate the Paul Ricard, which is regularly used by F1 teams for test sessions.It is the circuit which has invested the most in Europe over the past few years to adapt to international standards, Estrosi said, adding that he expects the race to generate about 65 million euros ($69.6 million) of indirect revenues for the region, and to help create about 500 jobs.
