  11/22/25 - Anderson Castle, rSr/2026, Duke, 6-0, 221 (DS#75 RB) + More +

  Anderson Castle punched in the go-ahead 1-yard touchdown with 2:18 left set up by an audacious fake field-goal call and Duke followed with a late stop to hold off rival North Carolina 32-25 on Saturday. The win made the Blue Devils (6-5, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) bowl eligible again, along with ensuring they could keep the Victory Bell that goes to the rivalry winner for another year. Castle ran for three 1-yard touchdowns for Duke, then joined with kicker Todd Pelino to finally put the Blue Devils on top.

With Duke trailing 25-24, Duke lined up a 45-yard field goal for the lead - only to see holder Kade Reynoldson take the snap and flip it to Pelino to the left side. Pelino took off to the open field for 26 yards, getting all the way to the UNC 1-yard line in a stunning play that set up Castle's score. Gio Lopez threw and ran for a touchdown for UNC (4-7, 2-5), while Davion Gause also ran one in. But the loss means UNC won't be able to reach the six-win threshold for bowl eligibility in Bill Belichick's first season. UNC had a final possession, but didn't move the ball before Lopez's fourth-down throw for Kobe Paysour fell incomplete with 1:18 left. - Duke/AP College Football

Richardson also registered a 76-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter, the longest catch of his career and Penn's longest catch since the 2018 season.

He enters Week 6 leading NCAA FCS football in receiving yards per game 125.6) and is second in receptions per game (8.20) and third in receiving touchdowns (8). - Penn Football
