Raleigh, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Jerian Grant scored a game-high 25 points and helped disrupt Trevor Laceys potential game-winner as No. 8 Notre Dame rallied for a thrilling 81-78 overtime victory over NC State on Sunday. The Fighting Irish stormed back from 18 down and forced overtime on V.J. Beachems tip-in just before the regulation buzzer. They trailed twice in OT before Beachems driving layup gave them the lead for good at 78-76. After Demetrius Jacksons free throw made it a three-point game, NC State called a timeout with 11.2 seconds to go and put the ball in Laceys hands. Grant hounded Lacey at the top of the key and blocked his first 3-point attempt. Lacey had a enough time to gather the loose ball and tossed up another shot that found all rim. Beachem, Jackson and Pat Connaughton all scored 11 points for the Irish (19-2, 7-1 ACC), who have won four in a row heading into their showdown against No. 5 Duke on Wednesday.

Andrew Whitworth Jersey . - Houston defensive end J.FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - An impressive win over Arizonas strong defence was a confidence-booster for running back Steven Jackson and the Falcons offence.Atlanta will need to build on that win to help give the Falcons defence a chance in Monday nights game at Green Bay.Led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers rank second in the NFL in scoring. The Packers (9-3) have scored more than 50 points in two of their last three home games. Rodgers has thrown 20 TD passes with no interceptions at home this season.Thats scary for the Falcons, who rank last in the league in total defence and against the pass.The best hope for Atlantas defence will be minimizing Rodgers time on the field. That puts pressure on the Falcons offence, led by quarterback Matt Ryan. The Falcons had 500 yards in their 29-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.I think it gives you confidence that you can go out there and play with anybody in this league, Ryan said. But I think even before last week we had that.Jackson ran for 101 yards against the Cardinals — his first 100-yard game in his two years with Atlanta. The 240-pound back gained more than half of his yards on a 55-yard run — his longest since 2009.Hes a big guy, Packers linebacker Nick Perry said Friday. We know at the end of the day weve got to tackle. Thats going to be a big emphasis going up to this game, just getting all hats to the ball.Ryan is hoping Jackson and Atlantas other running backs, Jacquizz Rodgers and Devonta Freeman, provide offensive balance against the Packers.Were a better offence when were balanced and thats important for us as we move forward, Ryan said.Jackson said one reason for Atlantas improved production is the growth of a young, rebuilt offensive line. The current version of the line, which has had four starters suffer season-ending injuries, has had five weeks to play together.Weve been playing with aa changing of the guard up there but right now we have a unit that has been together for the last few weeks, Jackson said.dddddddddddd Theyre starting to jell and understand each other. Were starting to get comfortable as runners with that unit. Hopefully going forward, we can continue to have an explosive running game.One of the few constants on the line has been rookie left tackle Jake Matthews, who will face his cousin, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews.The line includes another rookie, centre James Stone, who signed as an undrafted free agent.I feel like our line is getting better every week, Stone said. Weve come together and were trying to get better as a unit.Stone is Atlantas third starting centre, following Joe Hawley and Peter Konz. Tackles Sam Baker and Lamar Holmes also are on injured reserve.The Falcons had the big day against Arizona even without wide receiver Roddy White, who was held out with an ankle injury. Julio Jones was Ryans top target, catching 10 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown.White has not practiced this week. Coach Mike Smith said Friday he hopes White can practice on Saturday and play on Monday night.The Falcons (5-7) have won three of four and remain in first place in the NFC South.Atlanta players have heard all the jokes about the woeful division. Jackson said the bottom line is they remain in control of their playoff hopes — just like the Packers.We are relevant, Jackson said. Were No. 1 in the South and weve got to keep it that way. Whenever you can control your own destiny, thats the way you want it. As long as we continue to take it one week at a time and find a way to win, well be OK.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___AP Sports Writer Genaro C.
