SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Duke coach David Cutcliffe need not have worried about AJ Reeds confidence.After the freshman missed his first three college field goal attempts, Cutcliffe talked this week about being concerned about Reeds body language after his miss against Northwestern last week. He opted against trying for a field goal with the score tied at 28 early in the fourth quarter, explaining afterward he didnt think a field goal would be enough.But fourth-and-goal with the ball on the 1-yard line, Notre Dame (1-3) with no timeouts and 1:27 on the clock, he said he didnt hesitate to turn to Reed. The result was a 38-35 upset of Notre Dame on Saturday.That unit there, they believe in him and hes got a lot of talent. I know when it came down there at the end -- the field goal -- there was no doubt in my mind he was going to make it, he said.Reed said he knew his teammates were behind him.They were all telling me that they had my back and that they knew I was going to get it done for them, he said.The kick made for a devastating second straight home loss for Notre Dame, which started the season ranked No. 10 with hopes of vying for a playoff spot. Coach Brian Kelly said afterward that nearly every position will be up for grabs and said he might consider playing quarterback Brandon Wimbush, who he had hoped to redshirt.I told our guys essentially that were going in the wrong direction. Were not going to continue to go in this direction. Well have to re-evaluate what were doing, who were doing it with, and how were doing it, he said.Daniel Jones threw for three touchdowns, including a 64-yard scoring pass to Anthony Nash midway through the fourth quarter to tie the score as Duke (2-2) beat the Irish for just the second time in five tries. The first win was in their first meeting, a 9-7 victory in Durham, North Carolina, in 1958. Jones was 24 of 32 passing for 290 yards and Duke rushed for 208 yards.I think we were, as a team, executing at such a high level. We werent perfect by any stretch, but overall, we were executing more consistently than we had been, Jones said.Shaun Wilson returned a kickoff 96 yards for a score to spark the Blue Devils after Notre Dame, which had struggled with big deficits in two earlier losses , jumped to a 14-0 lead.The Irish defense continued to struggle, giving up 30 or more points against Power Five teams for the seventh time in their last nine games. The student section chanted Fire VanGorder, referring to defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.Kelly, who talked about his frustration with the play of the defense a week earlier, said the coaching of the defense is one of the few areas he wasnt disappointed in. He said Duke was grittier and more determined than the Irish.THE TAKEAWAYDuke: The Blue Devils defense continued to struggle to stop big plays, allowing 10 passes of 20 yards or more. But they came up with the big plays when they had to, forcing three turnovers while allowing one.Notre Dame: The Irish came out with the sense of urgency Kelly preached all week after falling behind by double digits in losses to Texas and Michigan State, jumping to a 14-0 lead. But they couldnt keep the momentum going, and struggled to do anything consistently well.QUOTABLEIn order to move forward from here theres going to have to be some changes. What were doing isnt working right now, said Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer.INJURY UPDATECutcliffe said Duke safety DeVon Edwards, who has six career kickoff returns for touchdowns and led the Blue Devils in tackles with 28 heading into the game, likely sustained a season-ending knee injury on a kickoff.UP NEXTDuke: After back-to-back trips to the Midwest, the Blue Devils return home to face Virginia, a team it has beaten in six of their last eight meetings.Notre Dame: The Irish travel to East Rutherford, New Jersey, to play Syracuse, the first of three neutral-site games they will play this season.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org Football Jerseys Outlet . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Steve Kerr joked around on what became a post-mosh Monday, feeling some of the natural pressure before his Golden State Warriors get going at last with all the weight of trying to win another NBA championship on their star-studded shoulders.The reigning NBA Coach of the Year said he cut short practice given Kevin Durants jostling in the mosh pit at a Kanye West concert the previous evening.He got a great workout last night, Kerr said with a smile.Kanye performed at Oracle Arena, where KD will become THE show Tuesday night for the defending Western Conference champions. And MVP Stephen Curry, too, of course.We all have pressure. Thats a good thing, Kerr said Monday. The alternative is, `Maybe we can win 30 this year instead of 25. Who wants that? Unfortunately, a lot of the teams in the league have that, teams that are going through rebuilding stuff, and theyre trying to get where we are. So were in a really enviable position. We know how lucky we are to be together with this group. We understand the responsibility that comes with it, and thats fine. Its a good position to be in.A day away from his highly anticipated Warriors debut, Durant insisted he had no idea just how much daily interest Golden State would generate before the season even began.How much Durants every move would be intently watched -- whether it was his concert-going or riding the BART train to get around.I never had a chance to get to a show. I was always moving around, Olympics and traveling a lot, Durant said of attending Wests show. Im glad he came through here. I was telling all my friends. Ive always told them I wanted to get in a mosh pit. It was amazing.Durant had no concerns about anything going wrong with all those people in tight quarters.Im covered, man. Im covered by a higher power upstairs, no matter what happens, he said.Four months after squandering a 3-1 series lead and losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals to LeBron James and Cleveland, the Warriors are ready to start fresh without any thought on chasing thee regular-season wins record they now hold at 73.dddddddddddd. They will host San Antonio and Kerrs former coach and mentor, Gregg Popovich, on Tuesday night.Its the Spurs, so it makes it even more fun, Kerr said.Golden State also will honor TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, who is fighting leukemia, with a special T-shirt for all fans at the opener.Kerr has said all along Durant would need time to adjust.Hes light years beyond where he was three weeks ago, Kerr said. Hes embracing the chaos, for sure.With Durant and so many new players, Kerr still expects everything to take time before the Warriors really start clicking. Kerr wasnt even on the bench for last seasons opener, missing the initial 43 games and a record 24-0 start while dealing with complications from a pair of back surgeries.Next week might be even bigger for Durant, whose former Oklahoma City Thunder visit on Nov. 3. Golden State rallied from 3-1 down to beat OKC in the Western Conference Finals.Durants departure was a big deal. It still is.I think theyre just looking for something to grab onto and make it a story, Durant said. We understand that. Thats one thing I actually didnt understand coming in here. Everythings going to be taken and used as a headline. Its definitely a learning experience for me not used to all this coverage around a team. Thats just part of the job. Thats why we get paid the way we do and thats why we are who we are as players. Youre kind of prone to criticism.New center Zaza Pachulia got a glimpse of the attention and hype surrounding the Warriors on media day last month.Hes ready to embrace it.We take it as a compliment because it means youre doing something right. It means youve got good talent here, it means that people want to know about you more than anybody else, he said. Its a huge year for us, a big season, kind of what we expected with a lot of expectations, a lot of eyes on us. ' ' '
