CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- New Miami Hurricanes coach Mark Richt wore a Panama hat and long sleeves during his teams first fall practice Thursday, assuring max protection from the sweltering sun.No novice in South Florida, Richt is familiar with the demanding climate. The suns hard on the skin, and Hurricanes fans are hard on their coach.Richts ready for both.The former Hurricanes quarterback is back in Coral Gables and has less than a month to get Miami ready for its season opener Sept. 3 against Florida A&M.Day one. Everybody is fired up, Richt said. I wake up every morning thinking how can we do everything excellent as a coaching staff. Thats kind of where I am right now.Richt led the Hurricanes through a taxing 2 1/2-hour workout on a humid afternoon with a high temperature of 92.Everybody held up pretty good, he said. There were a few guys who cramped up a little bit, but here we are in South Florida in the middle of the day. Its pretty typical. Its a grueling practice in this type of temperature, but thats what we need to get in condition to finish games.Inability to finish has been one of Miamis many problems in recent years. Hurricanes fans were spoiled by five national championships from 1983 to 2001, but now theyre restless because their team hasnt won a bowl game since 2006 and hasnt had a 10-win season since 2003.Last year Miami went 8-5 and fired coach Al Golden at midseason after a 58-0 loss to Clemson. Richt, who lettered with the Hurricanes in 1978-82, rejoined them after being fired at Georgia, where he won two Southeastern Conference titles in 15 years but none since 2005.He inherits a roster led by junior quarterback Brad Kaaya, who has thrown for more than 3,000 yards each of the past two years. But the Hurricanes must be much better defensively and up front to become a contender in the Atlantic Coast Conferences Coastal Division, which theyve never won.Its not all on me, Kaaya said. Of course I have a big impact in a lot of what happens around here, but at the same time it takes a lot more than just me and coach Richt. It takes help from everyone, even the young guys, even the freshmen. A lot of guys have to grow up now. It cant just be the scholarship guys. Everyone has to contribute.Richt pushed so hard at the first practice that even the star quarterbacks jersey was soaked afterward.I had to run after practice, actually, Kaaya said, because I threw a pick in a seven-on-seven. I know Twitter is going to go crazy.Richt didnt specifically mention turnovers when asked about his message to fans, but pledged the Hurricanes will play hard, physical, disciplined football.As for the fresh start that Thursday represented, he said he didnt think of it that way.Ive been here eight months, he said. Ive been through a lot of practices already. I worked with them all summer. This is the third time we installed the offense. So it didnt feel brand new.But I love being here, I can tell you that.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- A winning record, a shot at the playoffs and just about all hope for something positive got squashed almost as soon as the season started.The Chicago Bears have that in common with the San Francisco 49ers. But at least they have won since the season opener.San Francisco will try to snap a franchise-record 10-game losing streak when it visits Chicago in a matchup between two of the NFLs worst teams on Sunday. The 49ers (1-10) have not won since they opened with a 28-0 win over Los Angeles, though its not like the Bears (2-9) have fared much better.I think these guys have been fantastic in terms of their approach every day, San Francisco coach Chip Kelly said.Both teams have been hit hard by injuries and poor play in general. Theyre simply looking for some signs of progress in the final stretch of a dismal season.You are only as good as your record says you are, Bears linebacker Willie Young said. Weve been battling, from A to Z, weve been battling. I really feel that this year, with all of the young guys that we have, and even guys coming from winning organizations who are not familiar with dealing with adversity like such, I really think its going to help and build us as a team in the future.Here are some things to know as the 49ers try to end their slide against the struggling Bears:BARKLEYS CHANCE: Chicagos Matt Barkley will try to build on a promising performance in last weeks 27-21 loss to Tennessee .He threw for a career-high 316 yards and his first three touchdowns as a pro with Jay Cutler sidelined by a right shoulder injury, and he led a fourth-quarter rally that came up short when Josh Bellamy dropped a pass in the end zone in the final minute.Now, hes about to meet the coach who drafted him . The former Southern California quarterback was taken by Philadelphia in the fourth round in 2013 but wasnt seen as a good fit for Kellys offense because he is not particularly mobile.Barkley appeared in four games with the Eagles before getting traded in 2015 to Arizona, where he never played. He signed with Chicago in September and is a getting a chance with Cutler, Brian Hoyer and Connor Shaw all injured.KAEPERNICKS COMEBACK: Colin Kaepernick is starting to perform like its 2012 again.Benched midway through last year and limited by injuries during the offseason, he is oonce again showing the form that made him one of the most promising young quarterbacks.dddddddddddd. And it seems Kellys system suits him.It gives you an opportunity to run a wide-open offense and theres a lot of clarity in the quarterbacks mind, as far as what we want to do, how were trying to get things done, which is very advantageous, he said.Kaepernick threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns against Miami last week . He also ran for 113 yards and nearly led a late tying driving before being tackled at the 2 as time expired, ending another solid performance for a player who has been coming on strong. He struggled in his first two starts after regaining the No. 1 spot from Blaine Gabbert. But its been a different story the past four games.Kaepernick has completed 59.3 percent of his passes for 1,110 yards, eight TDs, two interceptions and a 96 rating. He has also rushed for 223 yards in that span, averaging 7.7 yards per carry.HANG ON: Bears receivers will have to do a better job this week.Chicago dropped 10 passes against Tennessee, an unacceptable number even without the suspended Alshon Jeffery and injured Kevin White and tight end Zach Miller. Marquess Wilson was among those with at least one drop, though he did set career highs with eight catches for 125 yards.TURNOVERS: San Francisco is having trouble hanging onto the ball, and Chicago cant seem to take it away.The 49ers are tied for fifth with 20 turnovers -- three shy of the league lead. They had a tough time against the Dolphins, losing a fumble at the Miami 16 and having a deflected pass intercepted to give Miami the ball at the San Francisco 26.The Bears have just eight takeaways. Only Jacksonville (seven) has fewer.FLORIDA STAY: Rather than fly home between games at Miami and Chicago, the 49ers decided to stay in the Sunshine State. So they spent the week in Orlando practicing at the University of Central Florida. The coach there is Scott Frost, who worked on Kellys staff at Oregon.Its not about packing up and coming to Orlando, Kelly said. It was about not going back. So, it saves you on travel and wear and tear.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .
