DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke?waited until it was time to play No. 17 North Carolina to finally cut out all the mistakes that kept haunting the Blue Devils in close losses. They ran the ball with a physical edge and tightened defensively, then ended their Senior Night by sprinting across the field as time expired to reclaim a lost rivalry trophy.Daniel Jones ran for two scores and threw for another to help the Blue Devils upset the Tar Heels 28-27 on Thursday night to secure their first Atlantic Coast Conference win. Duke (4-6, 1-5 ACC) was flirting with its first winless league record since 2007 after a tight loss at No. 6 Louisville and a pair of three-point losses to Georgia Tech and No. 14 Virginia Tech.I laid all of that out there: heres the path weve been on, heres how you correct it, Cutcliffe said. Theyre smart. They listen, they believe. And thats huge that they keep buying into each other, the loyalty. So that joy, thats huge.Jones, a redshirt freshman, ran for 94 yards as part of a ground game that kept moving the chains against the Tar Heels (7-3, 5-2 ACC; No. 15 AP). Shaun Wilson ran for a game-high 107 yards and a score of his own, Duke finished with 227 yards rushing and converted 10 of 17 third-down chances.Our offensive line was doing a tremendous job all game, Jones said, firing off the ball and being physical and creating that physicality that we want as a team.That formula was on display at the end, as Duke took more than 6 1/2 minutes off the clock with a long drive from its own 1 before punting back to UNC.The Blue Devils then came up with a final stop, with Alonzo Saxton II picking off Mitch Trubisky near midfield with 1:02 left on a night that ended with Duke players sprinting across the field to re-claim the Victory Bell presented to the winner of the long-running rivalry.More surprisingly, Dukes defense gradually locked down the Tar Heels high-scoring offense, which finished with just 31 yards in the final 15 minutes.Every time we would make a play, we would shoot ourselves in the foot on the next one or something would happen, Tar Heels coach Larry Fedora said.There was no consistency whatsoever.THE TAKEAWAYUNC: The Tar Heels likely saw any chance of repeating as the leagues Coastal Division champion die with this loss considering they had to keep winning and hope for the Hokies to lose once. But there was a familiar problem with being physical enough to stop the run, on top of the surprising offensive struggles after halftime.We missed a big opportunity, Trubisky said.DUKE: After a couple of close losses, Duke showed it had enough fortitude to bounce back and play a clean game even as it flirted with the programs first winless ACC record since 2007. Notable in Thursdays performance: no turnovers for the second straight week.STREAK SNAPPEDThe Tar Heels came into this game with nine straight wins on an opponents home field, tied with No. 2 Clemson for third longest in the nation behind No. 1 Alabama (11) and No. 11 Oklahoma (10).BLOWN LEADNorth Carolina got off to a sprint of a start, jumping to a 14-0 first-quarter lead behind a sharp Trubisky.

UNC managed only two second-half field goals.UP NEXT UNC: The Tar Heels step out of conference play to take on The Citadel.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Glynn Watson Jr.s head was hurting Sunday. But that didnt stop him from scoring a career-high 23 points to lead Nebraska past Sacramento State 83-61.Glynn actually tonight had a bad headache, said Nebraska coach Tim Miles. I dont know if it was a migraine or not. But we had to take him out two or three times and get him hydrated and make sure he got medicine. If he can do that in that condition ... hes really good. Glynn is a guy thats a game changer.Watson didnt mention the headache after the game. Rather, he attributed his scoring to aggressive play.I just tried to play aggressive and execute our game plan, Watson said. That was basically what I tried to do, was play aggressive and try to get my teammates open. I had open shots so I took them, that was basically it.Watson kept Nebraska (1-0) in the game in the first half, tying his career-high with 17 points on 7 of 10 shots. The rest of the Huskers were just 9 of 29 in the half, earning them a halftime butt chewing from Miles.Nebraska opened the second period with a 9-2 run, going up 45-35 on Tai Websters driving layup with 17:22 left. That opening spurt was the game changer, said Sacramento State coach Brian Katz.We had a pretty good first half and the separation happened in the first five points of the second half, Katz said. They got five points in transition and went from 36-33 to 41-33, and I thought that was the difference in the game. The Huskers hit 10 of 12 shots in the first eight minutes of the second half, taking a 58-44 lead on Websters jumper with 12:233 remaining.ddddddddddddI thought the second half was really good, Miles said. But they were pretty good early too. Unfortunately, we missed 12 shots within what, four feet in the first half. I was happy with the team. They came out and did what they had to do to win.Nebraska never trailed, but saw Sacramento State (0-2) tie the game at 31 on Jeff Wus basket with 2:01 left in the first half. Watson responded with a 3-point play to put the Huskers in the lead for good.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Five of the 10 Huskers who took the floor Sunday were seeing their first action as Huskers. All five came off the bench. They scored just five points combined.Sacramento State: The Hornets hit 48 percent of their shots in the first half to stay close to the Huskers. But Sacramento State struggled from the field in the final 20 minutes, hitting just 9 of 26 attempts and only 2 of 12 from 3-point range.QUOTABLEMiles on Nebraskas first half play: We were just rushing on offense, there was no poise. It was like one, two passes and force your way in there. The reason we missed 12 shots (near the basket) was because they werent very good shots. You cant get an offensive rebound, puke on yourself, then try to put it back in there. It just seemed like we were playing mindless basketball.UP NEXTNebraska hosts the University of Mary, Miless alma mater, Tuesday.Sacramento State will host Antelope Valley Thursday in its home opener.
