Duke running back Nate Sheppard couldn't find the edge all night against Virginia, but when it mattered most, the Bears reached into the trick play bag and Sheppard delivered — a late touchdown pass that sealed a nineteen to sixteen win and gave Duke a result nobody saw coming.
Shifting to the NBA, a rough night in Indiana for Dallas as Cooper Flagg took a hard foul from Aaron Nesmith and did not return after halftime, ruled out with left shoulder soreness. The Mavericks' prized rookie going down early is a story worth watching as the season builds momentum and Dallas figures out just how much they need him healthy.
And in New York, J.J. McCarthy is opening up about stepping into the Giants' quarterback room and taking the start over Jaxson Dart. McCarthy says he reached out to Dart directly after getting the nod, keeping things professional in what is quietly one of the more interesting quarterback situations in the league right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
