DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Peyton Jones ran 20 yards for a touchdown as Duke took its first lead with 5:42 left, star Thomas scored two touchdowns and the Blue Devils overcame a 20-point deficit to beat rival North Carolina by 21 :20 defeated both teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener on Saturday.

Thomas rushed for 166 yards and Maalik Murphy threw for a touchdown and 209 yards.

The Blue Devils (5-0) snapped a six-game losing streak in this series and beat their neighbors for the first time since 2018. Tre Freeman’s interception with 25 seconds left secured the decisive victory. Shortly afterwards, fans stormed onto the pitch to celebrate and demand the victory bell.

It was an outstanding win for first-year coach Manny Diaz, a former assistant at Texas under current North Carolina coach Mack Brown.

The Tar Heels (3-2) lost for the second straight week despite Jacolby Criswell’s two touchdown passes and running back Omarion Hampton’s 103 rushing yards.

After trailing 20-0, Duke’s first touchdown came when Thomas completed a 29-yard pass into the end zone in the third quarter. His 2-yard touchdown run on the fourth play of the fourth quarter allowed Duke to make it 20-14.

North Carolina’s defense, which had given up a majority of points allowed in a 70-50 home loss to James Madison a week earlier, racked up 97 yards of total offense in the first half. The Tar Heels led 17-0 at halftime.

In the second half, due to a strange sequence, Duke did not take a snap until the first seven minutes of the third quarter had elapsed. The Blue Devils blocked a North Carolina punt, but the ball went beyond the line of scrimmage and was mishandled by the Blue Devils. The Tar Heels rebounded from another string of losses to take a 20-0 lead on Noah Burnette’s 37-yard field goal.

The closest Duke came to scoring in the first half was when Todd Pelino bounced his 47-yard field goal off the right upright in the final minute.

North Carolina: The Tar Heels performed better defensively, but this result will be difficult to understand. It was a chaotic week for the team after Brown apologized for his reaction to the loss to James Madison and North Carolina players were kept away from the media.

Duke: The Blue Devils racked up 297 yards in the second half and had just enough clutch plays to eke out a win despite being 2-for-14 on third down. Duke’s defense was strong in the first month of the season and improved in the second half.

After Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met on the set of Step upThe actor couple fell in love and married three years later. However, since theirs 2018 statement announcing their separationThe couple has been trying to close the chapter in their relationship and move forward. And this week the couple finally settled their divorce after six years.

As the couple finally settles things, both Tatum and Dewan are preparing to tie the knot with their current partners, a source revealed People what Jenna Dewan thinks about the whole thing. Here’s what the outlet reported:

Jenna is pleased and relieved that the divorce is final. It was a lengthy and sometimes frustrating situation.

Week 4 of the fantasy football season is underway, and while we’ve drafted certain players at a high price, it’s okay to consider benching them despite their name value. We often hear the phrase “start your stallions” and it is a tried and true method, especially early in the season. However, we must adapt as new information, injuries, difficult matchups and/or questionable team situations arise. In this issue I’ll be covering Jordan Love, Javonte Williams and Michael Pittman Jr.

The fantasy football season has been brutal so far with injuries and disappointing cleats. There are better days ahead, but for now, precautions are needed until busts like Javonte Williams and Michael Pittman Jr. show signs of life.

Here’s a look at some fantasy football players who have shown red flags recently and you should think twice about adding them to your lineup in Week 4. If you have any issues or concerns, contact @RotoSurgeon at X.

Be sure to check out all of our 2024 fantasy football rankings:

Quarterback Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Jordan Love – Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Love is back as QB1 for the Packers after suffering a knee injury in Week 1. Malik Willis has performed admirably in his absence, but the former first-round pick is ready to play again. While Love has been training since last week, we shouldn’t rely entirely on his knee and mobility in his first game back. Love will reportedly carry a double-header, which will likely limit his fantasy potential as his rushing upside will be limited.

Additionally, Minnesota’s defense ranks first in total defensive DVOA for three weeks (via FTN). They are first against the run and second against the pass. The Vikings aren’t at full strength on defense, but that’s mitigated by a smart DC like Brian Flores. Love has the advantage of healthy weapons and protection, but in all likelihood you won’t ask too much of her in this game.

Who should you start instead?

Justin Fields – Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts

Justin Fields doesn’t score like Chicago’s Justin Fields, but that’s because he plays an efficient, game-controlling style of football. Fields is currently tied with Bo Nix as QB20 in fantasy football, but that should change in Week 4. Pittsburgh hasn’t forced Fields to come loose often, but that could change this weekend against the Colts in Indianapolis as Anthony Richardson is a formidable opponent.

The Colts are 16th in defensive DVOA so far and will be without star DT DeForest Buckner. Meanwhile, the Steelers will play RB Jaylen Warren, which could emphasize the performance of Justin Fields.

Running Back Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Javonte Williams – Denver Broncos at New York Jets

Javonte Williams remains the Denver Broncos’ starter as he has played no less than 51% of the snaps so far but is averaging 2.2 yards per carry on 24 attempts. The Broncos are not committed to him beyond this season and will need results sooner rather than later given the younger RBs on their depth chart, like Jalel, who could deserve more work.

The Jets’ defense hasn’t been elite through three games, but they still have enough talent to figure it out. Denver surprised the weakened Buccaneers team last week, but it’s unlikely they’ll have similar success in New York.

Who should you start instead?

Chuba Hubbard – Carolina Panthers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Carolina Panthers offense looks competent with Andy Dalton at center. This is important not only for the pass catchers, but also for Chuba Hubbard and the backfield. Hubbard leads the RB room on a weekly basis and totaled 26 touches in the last game against Las Vegas. Carolina’s offensive line is better than its 2023 version and is evident in Hubbard’s career-high 5.2 average.

Cincinnati’s defense has lost key interior pieces on its line and ranks 24th overall and 17th against the rush. If Andy Dalton plays half as well as he did last week, Hubbard should be in for another big game.

Wide Receiver Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Michael Pittman Jr. – Indianapolis Colts vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Pittman Jr. has rushed for 88 yards on 20 targets in three weeks. He’s a much better receiver than this production suggests, but Anthony Richardson’s growing pains this season will wear on him until their chemistry – and Richardson’s accuracy – corrects.

The Colts face a strong Steelers defense this week that ranks fifth against the pass. Indianapolis has had plenty of ground success thanks to the talents of Jonathan Taylor and the offensive line, but several OL players are injured this week. It makes sense to bench Pittman Jr. with Josh Downs back, Alec Pierce performing and Richardson struggling.

Who should you start instead?

Jakobi Meyers – Las Vegas Raiders vs. Cleveland Browns

Davante Adams is out this week with a hamstring injury, making Jakobi Meyers a good starting option across all formats. Meyers is a talented receiver, but his presence on offense is overshadowed by elite talents like Adams and Brock Bowers. If the Raiders had a better QB than Gardner Minshew, Meyers could produce regardless of the players around him. However, offenses with limited quarterback play tend to consolidate.

The Browns defense is talented, but Myles Garrett is banged up and they were average early in the season. Meyers had 9 targets last week against the Panthers and has seen an increase on a weekly basis. Unless the Raiders’ rushing attack miraculously revives, Meyers will be a crucial part of the game plan.

Songs by Adele, Bob Dylan, Green Day, REM, Burna Boy, Rush and many others are currently unplayable on YouTube in the US due to a legal dispute between the platform and performance rights organization SESAC.

Attempts to play many, but not all, of these artists’ songs on Saturday resulted in the following message: “This video contains content from SESAC. It is not available in your country.”

A similar dispute between Universal Music Group and TikTok lasted several months earlier this year before being resolved.

In a statement about this Diversity, A YouTube representative said: “We have been negotiating in good faith with SESAC to extend our existing contract. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach a fair agreement before the deadline. We take copyright very seriously and therefore the content represented by SESAC is no longer available on YouTube in the United States. We are in active discussions with SESAC and hope to reach a new agreement as soon as possible.” Representatives for SESAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A source familiar with the situation reports diversity that the previous deal actually doesn’t expire until next week, suggesting that YouTube’s move is a negotiating tactic. SESAC is far smaller than ASCAP and BMI – with around 30,000 members and 1.5 million compositions, while ASCAP has almost 800,000 members – but as the caliber of artists affected by the lockdown shows, it represents a comparatively large percentage of the market.

Performing rights organizations such as ASCAP, BMI and SESAC in the US collect royalties and help protect copyrights on behalf of songwriters and music publishers. They have the ability to block certain public performances of music — which includes everything from streaming to radio to music played in restaurants — although such bans are cumbersome and difficult to enforce, even for a platform as large as YouTube, as the seemingly scattered numbers show prove blockage of SESAC material on the platform at the moment.

Such blocks are legally complex and may affect other copyright holders (for example, a live recording of the British broadcaster BBC’s Green Day is currently available, suggesting litigation), although they may also reflect the sheer volume of videos that are blocked must be. Certain songs by Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and other artists are also affected, presumably because they are featured by songwriters affiliated with SESAC.

Fans quickly noticed the ban and received the following responses from the TeamYouTube account on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.

“We hear you,” it says. “Our music licensing agreement with SESAC has expired without agreement on renewal terms, despite our best efforts. “For this reason, we have blocked content on YouTube in the US that is known to be associated with SESAC – in accordance with copyright law.”

Responding to frustrated follow-up tweets from users, the company said: “We understand this is a difficult situation and our teams continue to work to reach an extension agreement” and “We are continuing our discussions with SESAC to “I don’t have exact dates for future updates yet.”

Such suspensions often occur when rights holders (e.g. record labels, publishers and PROs) and a broadcaster cannot agree on a licensing agreement, and typically last no longer than a few days or weeks. But along with the heated UMG-TikTok battle earlier this year, such a dispute between YouTube and Warner Music Group led to Warner withdrawing its videos from the platform for about nine months in 2008 and 2009 before terms were reached became.

In recent years, YouTube’s formerly contentious relationship with music companies has become much more positive, ironically after the company hired former Warner recording chief Lyor Cohen as music chief in 2016. But as music fans learned on Saturday, disputes still arise.

diversity I will have more information on the situation as it develops.

Additional reporting by Steven J. Horowitz

In a fiery and rambling speech in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, former President Donald Trump vowed to “liberate” the state from what he described as an extreme influx of migrants, reiterating his tough stance on immigration as the 2024 presidential election campaign comes to a head.

As Trump addressed a crowd at the Prairie du Chien Area Arts Center on Saturday, he took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, blaming her for what he said was a crisis at the southern border. “I will free Wisconsin from the mass migrant invasion,” Trump declared, adding, “We will free the country.”

The former president’s comments came just a day after Harris visited the U.S.-Mexico border, where she announced plans to further restrict asylum applications. Trump criticized Harris’ border visit and Fox News for broadcasting her comments, claiming: “Everything she says is lies.”

Newsweek contacted both the Harris and Trump campaigns via email seeking comment on Saturday’s events.

Immigration remains a hot-button issue in Wisconsin and other swing states, and the former president is hoping to capitalize on voter frustration. Trump reiterated his controversial stance after previously calling illegal border crossers “poisoning the blood of the country.” He also promised to launch the “largest deportation operation in American history” if re-elected.

The event featured mugshots of people who were in the U.S. illegally and accused of crimes, including Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate. Local police chief Kyle Teynor addressed the crowd and confirmed that Zarate, who was arrested on multiple charges including sexual assault, was not a U.S. citizen and had fake immigration documents.

Current polls show a close race in Wisconsin. According to the latest findings New York Times/Siena College Poll: Harris leads Trump by a slim 49 percent to 47 percent among likely voters in the state.

The timesThe /Siena poll, conducted Sept. 21-26, surveyed 680 likely voters and has a margin of error of about 4 percentage points. FiveThirtyEight polling averages for Wisconsin show Harris maintaining a narrow 2.1-point lead over Trump (48.8 percent to 46.7 percent).

A recent poll from Redfield and Wilton Strategies shows that 47 percent of respondents trust Trump on immigration, compared to 36 percent who trust Harris. That gap has narrowed in recent weeks, coinciding with a sharp decline in border crossings as a result of President Joe Biden’s executive order restricting asylum applications.

Harris’ tougher stance on border security reflects Democrats’ efforts to close the gap and changing public attitudes toward immigration. Gallup reports that 55 percent of voters — including nearly 30 percent of Democrats — support new immigration restrictions, the highest level recorded since 2001.

The contrasting approaches to immigration policy between Harris and Trump reflect broader ideological differences between the Democratic and Republican platforms. The Republican Party is making immigration a top priority, promising to secure the border and end what they call an “invasion.” In contrast, the Democratic platform emphasizes reforming the asylum system and balancing enforcement with humanitarian considerations.

Trump’s border policies during his presidency have focused on reducing unauthorized immigration, including partially building a border wall, expanding enforcement and imposing stricter asylum rules. His controversial “zero tolerance” policy, which led to family separations at the southern border, was widely criticized and eventually abandoned.

Harris supports comprehensive immigration reform, prioritizing humanitarian protections and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, including “Dreamers.” She advocates modernizing legal immigration systems and portraying immigration as a benefit to the American economy and society.

Trump and other Republicans accused Harris of failing to implement these policies as vice president, blamed her for the increase in illegal border crossings and called her Biden’s “border czar.”

During the ABC News presidential debate, Trump made baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which were debunked. He has also promised mass deportations of migrants, a plan that has drawn skepticism from Democrats and some Republicans because of logistical challenges.
