  Brice threw interceptions No. 9, 10 and 11 of the season, the first a bad decision to throw over the middle at the goal line, the second when he was hit while throwing, the third deeper over the middle with Duke down a score in the fourth quarter. Still a heavy emphasis on the tight ends, with the receivers mostly forgotten again. Jake Bobo did have a nice sequence, dodging tackles on a short touchdown to make it 17-7 after a leaping catch on the sideline. - Herald Sun

  There's work to be done for quarterback Chase Brice, but this uneven performance at least shows there's a high upside. Brice started 5-for-5 with a 26-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive, and then threw eight straight incompletions and was benched after his fumble was returned for a touchdown. Gunnar Holmberg replaced him for a possession and also fumbled. Brice seemed to find his rhythm afterward, throwing for a 52-yard touchdown at the end of the first half. A second-half interception thrown between four Orange defenders was another blemish, but overall Brice threw for 270 yards and two scores. - Herald Sun

  Chase Brice threw for two touchdowns, Mataeo Durant rushed for 163 yards and two more scores, and Deon Jackson rushed for a career-high 169 yards and Duke finally won a game, holding off Syracuse 38-24 on Saturday. Duke (1-4, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) won despite three lost fumbles and an interception, but Syracuse (1-3, 1-3) only turned them into seven points. The Blue Devils entered the game with 15 turnovers, the most in the nation, while Syracuse was second nationally in turnovers gained with 10. On this day, it finally didn't matter for the Blue Devils, who used the backfield tandem of Jackson and Durant to wreak considerable havoc while the Syracuse offense sputtered. Quarterback Tommy DeVito never found any sort of rhythm, misfiring repeatedly on long throws, and failed to capitalize on any of the turnovers. He finished 13-of-26 passing for 255 yards and two touchdowns. He was injured when sacked early in the fourth quarter for the fifth time and replaced by Rex Culpepper. Duke came from behind with two touchdowns late in the second quarter to gain a 14-point halftime lead. - AP College Football

  Brice had his best college moment against Syracuse - with Clemson. With the Tigers trailing the Orange 23-20 late in the fourth quarter in the 2018 game at Clemson, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence out of the game, Brice led the Tigers 94 yards for the winning score. What the transfer wants now is to get Duke a winning score. College football has become a sport of constant movement and change. Herbert is a graduate transfer. Braxton Burmeister, the Hokies' starting quarterback Saturday, transferred from Oregon and running back Raheem Blackshear from Rutgers. So it goes.

Brice, who played two years as Lawrence's backup at Clemson, finally found a comfort level Saturday in the second half - Duke had only 91 yards in total offense in the opening half. He connected on some down-the-field throws and found senior tight end Noah Gray, the old reliable, for another TD pass. "This is our fifth real live competition, with one live scrimmage," Brice said. "Later on now we're beginning to click a little better. I'm understanding my personnel and feeling more confident in the system and play-calling." - Herald Sun

  SEPT 28 SUN BELT OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Daetrich Harrington, App State,...Taking over primary ball-carrying duties with several teammates inactive, Daetrich Harrington made the most of his opportunity with career highs in rushing yards (211), attempts (32), touchdowns (4) and longest rush (40) to lead App State to a 52-21 win against Campbell. He's the first Sun Belt player this year with a 200-yard game and the first with a four-touchdown effort. His four rushing touchdowns were the most in a game by an App State player since legendary QB Armanti Edwards in 2009. Harrington's first two scores were at key first-half moments, tying the game at 7-7 in the first quarter and then giving the Mountaineers their first lead of the game at 17-13 in the second. - Sun Belt Football

  Daetrich Harrington had career highs of 32 carries for 211 yards and four touchdowns in a 52-21 win over Campbell, the most by an Appalachian State player since 2009. App State was missing 18 players who were quarantining because of exposure to COVID-19 and had to lean on Harrington. He led a rushing attack that totaled 404 yards. Harrington joined Ulysses Bentley II of SMU as 200-yard rushers this season. - AP College Football

  Daetrich Harrington rushed for career highs of 211 yards and four touchdowns and depleted Appalachian State beat Campbell 52-21 on Saturday. On Friday, Appalachian State (2-1) announced that three players had been confirmed with COVID-19 and, as a result, 18 other players were quarantining after contract tracing. Campbell (0-3), one of 17 FCS schools playing fall games, grabbed the lead for most of the first half before Harrington's second touchdown, a 2-yard run with 24 seconds left before the break, gave the Mountaineers a 17-13 lead. Those points came on the third of eight straight scoring drives. Harrington, a junior, already had 107 yards rushing by halftime with two scores. His four TDs were the most for the Mountaineers since Armanti Edwards had four against Furman in 2009. Nate Noel finished with 131 yards and a touchdown in his collegiate debut. The Mountaineers rushed for 404 of their 535 yards offense. - AP College Football

  The season still has a long way to go, but Saturday was a good start. Peoples was one of three running backs featured in the 35-20 victory against Charlotte. But from the moment he touched the ball, on the Mountaineers' third offensive series, his carries were electric. He scored his touchdown and had five carries on the drive - three that were 10 yards or longer. He was the first running back to break the order, his number called again for the next series. He'd get two carries and get dinged up, heading to the locker room. He returned for more action in the second half. "I guess I'm the hot hand," Peoples remembered before cracking a joke. "...I was like wow hold up now, I gotta catch my breath."

App State coach Shawn Clark said during his weekly press conference that Peoples would continue to be evaluated throughout the week. While Peoples spoke on Monday, an unexpected figure crashed his interview. Nic Cardwell, App State's offensive line coach, busted in to shout a few sentences. "He's thinking he's going to take it to the house," Cardwell shouted. "He's going all the way, as soon as he touches the rock, baby." And as Peoples reflected on his path from Lineville, Ala., to Boone, he hopes that will be the first of many more touchdowns. "I feel like I've always been kind of overlooked, and I feel like a lot of guys here can relate to that, which I think that's what makes this team so special," Peoples said. "It's that we all play with a chip on our shoulder. We all play like we got something to prove." - Winston-Salem Journal

  If there were questions about Duke quarterback Chase Brice, most were answered against Notre Dame in Cutcliffe's opinion. Brice, in his first college start, handled his nerves and the team well enough, giving the Clemson transfer something to build off of from the game. "I thought Chase played really well under difficult circumstances against a really good team and a challenging front," Cutcliffe said. "He made some great throws. If we had run the ball better it might have opened up some things for us."

The final rushing stats for Duke were anemic: 75 yards on 30 attempts, a 2.5-yard average. But Cutcliffe, after reviewing the game, didn't find it that discomforting, given the opponent. "I think part of it, we missed some opportunities out there, left some yards on the field, particularly in our draw game, our counter game," he said. "I thought we ran the stretch pretty well. But I really think we left some yards on the field where if we finish blocks or see holes. A big part of that is we've had very little live running the football." - Herald Sun

  Daetrich Harrington had reason to be happy. The whole Appalachian State running backs group did. A combination of Harrington, Marcus Williams Jr. and Cam Peoples ran for 278 total rushing yards and four touchdowns on Saturday in a 35-20 victory against Charlotte. Harrington accounted for two of those scores, both in the fourth quarter to put the game away. And he grinned when talking about what that trio could accomplish together this season, running behind an offensive line featuring four returning starters. "We all got a chip on our shoulder," Harrington said. "They think since Darrynton (Evans)'s gone, we have nobody. We feel disrespected. So we're going to come out and show, prove to the whole Sun Belt and the whole world that we're a three-headed monster."

Since Evans departed for the NFL, App State coach Shawn Clark described a platoon-style system in the offensive backfield. The thinking was simple: the Mountaineers have three quality running backs, use them. And that's exactly what the team did against the 49ers. Williams played the first offensive series, followed by Harrington and Peoples on the following drives, respectively. Clark said it was an order pecked by seniority - Williams is a senior, Harrington a junior and Peoples is a sophomore. Harrington had 15 carries, Williams 14 and Peoples 13. - Winston-Salem Journal

  Notre Dame, ranked 10th nationally in preseason, is a deep football team with few holes in the lineup. The Irish are physical and that rough-and-tumble element of their game took its toll on Duke as the game wore on, with an experienced offensive line pounding at Duke's defensive front. Brice was fine and said it was a fun experience "playing the Golden Domes" in Notre Dame Stadium. Could the Clemson transfer have been better? Yes, as he was the first to say after the game. And especially so inside the Note Dame 10 in the first half when the Blue Devils came away with two field goals and trailed 10-6 at halftime. "We took advantage of some good field position our defense gave us," Brice said.

"But inside the 5 we shot ourselves in the foot both of those times. We put points on the board and that's our goal, but in those situations we wish we could have come out with 7 instead of 3. "We didn't make enough plays. We left some out there, I left some out there. In critical situations and downs we didn't make those plays." With Cutcliffe calling the plays, Brice tried to bootleg to his right on the second red-zone possession. He found himself staring at onrushing defensive end Isaiah Foskey and dumped the ball - initially called intentional grounding, the call was reviewed and made a 10-yard sack. "You just can't make those mistakes in a game like this," Brice said, blaming himself. - Herald Sun

  No one represented the defensive surge more than Shemar Jean-Charles, who had four pass breakups and helped blanket Charlotte all-conference wide receiver Victor Tucker. Tucker had one reception and nine yards. Jean-Charles was part of a unit that forced two interceptions, by Brendan Harrington and Kaiden Smith, respectively, and held Charlotte to 89 total yards in the second half. App State outgained Charlotte in yardage, 512 to 286. 49ers quarterback Chris Reynolds went 11 for 30. It's also worth noting that of Charlotte's two chunk passing plays of the second half (plays of 15 yards or more), both came in the 49ers' first drive of the third quarter. The offensive unit didn't score in the second half, with Charlotte's 10 second-half points coming from a field goal and a kickoff return. Jean-Charles said a lot of time was spent reviewing the 56-41 victory last season, where Reynolds threw four touchdowns in the second half. Much like they did in Saturday's game, Jean-Charles said the defense, and the team, didn't let something in the past linger. "We tried to attack their scheme a little different than how we tried to approach it last year...For the most part we were able to bend but not break in the secondary and limit those explosive plays. "Just made those right adjustments." - Winston-Salem Journal

  Thomas Hennigan caught a 51-yard touchdown pass, Daetrich Harrington added two fourth-quarter scoring runs and Appalachian State beat Charlotte 35-20 in both teams' season opener on a rainy Saturday. The teams exchanged big plays in the final two minutes of the third quarter. Hennigan scored down the right side after a defender slipped on the wet field. Aaron McAllister returned the ensuing kickoff a school-record 97 yards, breaking a tackle on the left sideline to get Charlotte within a point, 21-20. Harrington went up the middle for a 4-yard score to extend the Mountaineers' lead to 28-20 early in the fourth quarter.

After a Charlotte fumble recovery, the Mountaineers held the 49ers to no yards at the Appalachian State 20 and Harrington added a 15-yard score with 1:15 remaining. Herrington had 120 yards receiving. Marcus Williams Jr. ran for 117 yards and a score and Camerun Peoples added 102 yards and another touchdown. The Mountaineers rushed for 308 yards. Zac Thomas aded 204 yards passing with a TD and an interception. Appalachian State has won four straight Sun Belt Conference titles and finished 19th in last season's Associated Press Top 25 poll after a 13-1 season. Due to state COVID-19 restrictions, the school allowed only 50 fans to attend the game, all parents of Mountaineers seniors, and tailgating was not permitted. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who also has taken over the offensive coordinator duties this year, decided on Brice, a transfer from Clemson, as the No. 1 quarterback after watching him compete in fall camp with Chris Katrenick and Gunnar Holmberg. "I could not be more proud of the three young men who competed for the privilege to be this team's starting quarterback at Notre Dame in the season-opener," Cutcliffe said in a statement. "Chase, Chris (Katrenick) and Gunnar (Holmberg) all have played really well during camp. We have a healthy quarterback room and the competition has made everyone better. Ultimately, Chase has made plays at the highest rate."

Brice was a part of Clemson's 2018 national championship run, serving as the backup to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The junior is an accurate passer and has the size at 6-3 and 235 pounds to factor into Duke's running game. Brice passed for 581 yards and four touchdowns for the Tigers last season while rushing 14 times for 94 yards and a TD. In 2018, when Lawrence was injured against Syracuse, he came in to lead a 94-yard scoring drive in Clemson's 27-23 comeback win. - The State
