DURHAM, N.C. -- Instate rivals Duke and Wake Forest couldnt be handling their quarterback situations more differently.The Demon Deacons went back and forth between two QBs -- even occasionally playing both at the same time -- while they wait for one to claim the job.That wasnt an issue for the Blue Devils, who handed the offense over to a redshirt freshman and turned him loose.It definitely helps to have a rhythm as a quarterback, Duke QB Daniel Jones said Tuesday.They meet this week in their Atlantic Coast Conference opener after both started their seasons with victories that were nothing alike.Wake Forest (1-0) sputtered in a 7-3 victory over Tulane, gaining just 59 total yards and three first downs in the second half and finishing with 175 yards -- fewer than every other Bowl Subdivision team that played last week.They know theyre better than that, coach Dave Clawson said. The object of the game is to win, and we won. ... But I dont think our offense left that game saying, `Hey, we did our job and were satisfied, by any means.Meanwhile, Duke (1-0) clicked right away, scoring touchdowns on seven of its first 10 possessions of a 49-6 rout of North Carolina Central of the Football Championship Subdivision.A big reason for that was Jones, who looked nothing like a redshirt freshman playing in a college game for the first time.He finished 10 of 15 for 189 yards and two touchdowns, setting the schools single-game record with a pass efficiency rating of 216.51, and added 28 yards rushing and another score.It helped that coach David Cutcliffe pulled him aside for a pregame pep talk, telling the young quarterback that he would remove anything from the game plan that Jones wasnt completely comfortable running.And Cutcliffe emphasized that -- despite a strong performance by backup Parker Boehme -- Jones will remain his No. 1 quarterback.It certainly gives me confidence to go out and play, but I have a job to do and Im expected to perform, Jones said. I still have those expectations for myself, and I want to do as good as I possibly can.Wake Forest once again will start junior John Wolford but sophomore Kendall Hinton also will play against his hometown school, with Clawson declining to give more specifics because Im not going to share with Duke how were going to do it.While he has long said he believes in both of his QBs, Clawson had hoped during the preseason that one would wrest control of the position.It hasnt happened yet. Wolford was 9 of 17 for 79 yards passing while Hinton had a team-best 24 yards rushing and scored the games only touchdown on a 1-yard keeper. At times they alternated at quarterback, with Wolford even shifting to receiver while Hinton took a snap.We went into the year with a plan, and were going to stick with the plan, Clawson said. And at a certain point, if we have to re-evaluate it, we will. But were not going to blow it up after one week.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

PHILADELPHIA -- Each coming off stinging losses Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers will renew their heated rivalry Friday afternoon when they meet at 1 p.m. ET at the Wells Fargo Center.The Flyers (9-9-3) were 6:32 away from pulling out a gutsy road win over the Tampa Bay Lightning when they allowed goals to Alex Killorn and Ryan Callahan just 12 seconds apart in a 4-2 loss in Tampa.Its tough to swallow, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said after the game. The tying goal they get a good bounce off the half-wall and their guy makes a good play. They got a good bounce on it. We had an opportunity to manage some bouncing pucks on the quick third goal and when the puck is bouncing like that sometimes you just live for the next play, punch that thing forward. We had three or four opportunities to do that and that stung a little bit.The Rangers (14-6-1) are coming off Wednesday nights 6-1 loss at Madison Square Garden, where goaltender Henrik Lundqvist allowed four goals on seven shots in the second period before getting yanked in favor of backup Antti Raanta.Very difficult to explain, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. Theres no doubt that we disappointed ourselves and we disappointed our fans.Ive got a lot of faith in this group. This group has played some real solid hockey. One period or 30 minutes got away from us. Now we need to respond. These are the players who have permitted us to have a good start and Im confident these are the players who are going to permit us to respond the right way in Philly on Friday.While Vigneault is expeected to give Lundqvist (9-6-1, 2.dddddddddddd46, .911) a chance to redeem himself, Hakstol faces a tougher decision.Does he go back to Steve Mason (5-7-3, 3.04, .893), who is coming off back-to-back starts and was brilliant in a 3-1 win over Florida on Tuesday night?Or does he give rookie Anthony Stolarz his first NHL start against the Eastern Conference leaders?Eitther way, the Flyers, who have allowed more goals (70) than any team in the East, should have their hands full against the Rangers, who lead the NHL with 82. The Flyers are tied for second in the league with 65.The Rangers have 14 players with 10 or more points, led by Kevin Hayes (9 goals, 9 assists) and J.T. Miller (8 goals, 10 assists). Michael Grabner leads the Rangers with 12 goals and defenseman Ryan McDonagh has a team-high 13 assists.The Flyers have seven players in double-digit scoring, led by Wayne Simmonds (10 goals, 8 assists), Jakub Voracek (7 goals, 10 assists), Claude Giroux (4 goals, 13 assists) and Brayden Schenn (3 goals, 10 assists).Rookie defenseman Ivan Provorov (1 goal, 8 assists) picked up his first NHL goal Wednesday night but also injured his right leg when he blocked a shot by Tyler Johnson in the final period. Provorov appeared to recover from the blocked shot and was to be evaluated on Thursday. The Flyers lost center Sean Couturier (knee) for 4-6 weeks in their win over Florida, giving Scott Laughton a chance to stick with the Flyers. ' ' '
