NEW ORLEANS -- A co-defendant in the drug and sexual assault case that brought down former NFL star Darren Sharper entered a plea agreement Monday, leaving one other man to face trial.The agreement involving former restaurant worker Erik Nunez was confirmed by his defense attorney, Herbert Larson. The agreement had not been posted in court records by midday.With Nunez out of the courtroom, jury selection began for the lone remaining defendant, former St. Bernard Parish Sheriffs Deputy Brandon Licciardi. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Friday in a trial expected to feature Sharper as a star witness.The federal case involved allegations that Licciardi, Nunez and Sharper gave drugs to women with the intent to rape them. Licciardi has pleaded not guilty.Sharper has pleaded guilty or no contest to charges arising from allegations that he drugged and raped women in Arizona, Nevada, California and Louisiana. He faces a possible 15 to 20 years in prison.Louisiana is the only state where others were charged in the case. The three were charged in state and federal courts.Sharper once was expected to spend as little as nine years in prison under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal announced after his arrest in early 2015. But U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo rejected that sentence as too light in February.Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- No. 21 North Carolina doesnt have much room for error anymore.The Tar Heels (6-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) emerged from a week off spent getting ready for Georgia Tech and knowing they need a perfect November -- and a loss somewhere by No. 23 Virginia Tech -- to earn another league title game berth.As much as you want to worry about what (the Hokies) have going on and who theyre playing, you know that you cant let up on whoever youre playing against because one more loss for us and were out of the hunt, no matter what happens to them, North Carolina cornerback Des Lawrence said Monday. At the same time, as bad as we want them to take a loss, we have to be able to prepare and focus on what we have to do in order for us to stay in the hunt.During the first two months of the season, the Tar Heels claimed four ACC victories -- including a sweep of the leagues Florida-based schools, both of whom were ranked at the time -- to earn a share of first place in the Coastal Division.But they continue to be haunted by their lone conference defeat.That rainy 34-3 loss to the Hokies on Oct. 8 sure looks like it will cost North Carolina a trip to Orlando, Florida, for the league title game.

State -- and root for the Hokies to lose, as they did last week against Pitt . Fedora cracked a wry smile Monday when the coach said he was pulling for them.All that matters is, were in a position, going into the month of November, of reaching our goals, Fedora said. Theres a lot of teams out there that dont have that opportunity. ... Theyre in a position right now where we can still reach all of our goals, and thats pretty good.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
