导出博客文章By JOEDY McCREARYAP Sports WriterDURHAM, N.C. -- Shortly after quarterback
Daniel Jones arrived on Dukes campus last year, his teammates nicknamed him the
Future.For the redshirt freshman, the future is now.A season-ending injury
setback to starter Thomas Sirk makes Jones the first Duke freshman QB to start
an opener since 1997, and just the fourth in 65 years, when he leads the Blue
Devils against North Carolina Central on Saturday night.Jones wants to make the
most of the opportunity he received because of mentor was hurt.I was just
heartbroken for him, being such a hard-working guy that I have so much respect
for, Jones said Tuesday of Sirk. That was tough to see him go down. Hes been a
great resource for me since Ive been here. ... Im excited to get out there and
play.The Blue Devils are putting their offense in the hands of the soft-spoken
Jones, a late addition to their 2015 recruiting class from Charlotte who figured
to be headed to Princeton or another Ivy League schools before Duke eventually
showed interest.At 6-foot-5, Jones is an inch taller than Sirk and while he has
the frame of a pocket passer, coach David Cutcliffe said he is going to be a
threat to run the football.Its a job that Daniels won right now, Cutcliffe
said.Jones took most of the first-team snaps during preseason practice, and
threw two touchdown passes during a late scrimmage, while Sirk -- who led the
team in rushing and passing last year and was the co-MVP of the Pinstripe Bowl
victory over Indiana -- worked on rehabbing the Achilles tendon he tore in
February.Reps are huge things when youre playing quarterback, seeing the
defense, and you need to play the game to get better at it, Jones said. That was
huge for me.The question about whether Sirk would make it back for the opener
was answered decisively -- but not the way Duke would prefer -- last week when
he partially tore that same tendon during a practice.Now comes the latest test
of Dukes next-man-up philosophy, with Jones taking over and trying to live up to
the nickname he picked up last year while running the scout team. He brushed off
questions about that name Tuesday with an embarrassed laugh.Hes a pretty good
quarterback -- weve known that since he got here, safety DeVon Edwards said. A
lot of guys called him the Future ... from the very beginning.

couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made
against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. Wallabies matchwinner
Tevita Kuridrani was driven on by a desire to make up for a potentially damaging
missed tackle as he broke Scottish hearts at Murrayfield on Saturday.Kuridrani
had allowed Huw Jones through to score one of his two first-half tries as
Scotland put themselves within touching distance of a famous win. Indeed, the
hosts were 22-16 up and a man to the good when Kuridrani breached their defence.
Not even a desperate last-ditch tackle from Stuart Hogg could halt the
determined centre as he stretched out to dot the ball down and help secure a
thrilling 23-22 victory.I was pretty determined to get to that line. In my mind
I had to make up for that missed tackle I had in the first half, so I really
wanted to score that try, he said afterwards. I was pretty down. It was a
one-on-one, I missed it and I really wanted to do something to make up for it.
Im lucky I got the try.Kuridranis determination to be his sides hero ensured
that he ignored the pleas of teammate Israel Folau ouutside of him.dddddddddddd
The fullback stretched his run without a try to nine internationals on the
occasion of his 50th Test cap, and Kuridrani admitted that he was p-ssed off he
had not been played in. He added: I heard him calling for the ball but I just
wanted to get to the try line.Australia were disjointed in the first 40 minutes
at Murrayfield, with one player caught on the referees microphone urging his
teammates to put some spring in it midway through the half. However, Kuridrani
revealed that coach Michael Cheika told his players to be patient at the
break.Our execution wasnt really good in the first half, when we were trying to
push stuff and rushing. Cheik just told us to relax and stick to our structure,
and take it from there, he said. We knew it was going to be tough. Sometimes
youre game plan wont work and you have to find another way to win.
