RALEIGH, N.C. -- Dexter Wright returned a blocked punt 16 yards for a touchdown with 12:43 remaining, and North Carolina State beat Notre Dame 10-3 on Saturday in a game played in hurricane conditions.A waterlogged field saturated by Hurricane Matthews heavy rains and wind-whipped by its gusts rendered both offenses ineffective, so the Wolfpack (4-1) beat the Fighting Irish (2-4) with special teams and defense.Wrights go-ahead TD came after teammate Pharoah McKeever fought through a block from Nic Weishar up the middle to deflect Tyler Newsomes punt. All Wright had to do was scoop up the ball -- not an easy task on a day like this -- and head for the end zone.Notre Dame put together a late drive into the N.C. State red zone, but a shotgun snap on fourth-and-8 squibbed past DeShone Kizer with 1:52 left and the Wolfpack ran out the clock.The teams combined for five turnovers, had a total of 10 fumbles and lost four of them. In a sequence that perfectly captured the day, Notre Dame coughed the ball up with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter on a bad snap -- only to get it right back when N.C. State fumbled on its next snap.THE TAKEAWAYNotre Dame: The sloppy conditions helped the Fighting Irishs oft-criticized defense post its best numbers of the season. After allowing at least 489 total yards to every Power Five opponent theyve faced, they gave up just 198 yards in this one.But that went both ways. The potent Fighting Irish offense managed just 113 total yards on 64 offensive plays, and had just 41 yards through three quarters. Kizer was sacked five times.N.C. State: The weather also shackled the Wolfpacks potent offense, which hung at least 30 points on every other opponent. QB Ryan Finley -- who completed nearly 73 percent of his passes in four games -- was just 5 of 12 for 27 yards with a rating of 60.6. He entered with a passer rating of 171.43 -- good for 11th nationally.But for N.C. State, the bottom line was this: With games against No. 3 Clemson, No. 7 Louisville, No. 23 Florida State, No. 17 North Carolina and No. 10 Miami still ahead on the schedule, this was a game the Wolfpack had to have.UP NEXTNotre Dame: The Fighting Irish return home next week for their annual rivalry game with No. 15 Stanford.N.C. State: The Wolfpack begin a brutal two-game Atlantic Division run on the road with a visit to Clemson next week, followed by a trip to Louisville.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap .

After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace.BOSTON -- Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez had his jailhouse phone calls hacked ahead of his first murder trial, and prosecutors and his current defense team say they were never told, according to a news report Friday.The Boston Herald reported that the hacking happened when Hernandez was being held in a Boston jail in the summer of 2014. Hernandez was convicted the following year of killing the boyfriend of his fiancees sister in 2013. He is now serving a prison sentence of life without parole and is awaiting trial in a 2012 double homicide in Boston.Peter Van Delft, spokesman for the Suffolk Sheriffs Department, told the newspaper that the breach happened soon after Hernandez was moved there from a different jail.The departments Superintendent-In-Chief Michael Harris said in a written statement Friday that they discovered the breach during a security check in 2014 and found that its contracted telephone database had been accessed for telephone calls placed by detainee Hernanddez.dddddddddddd The department concluded that nothing discovered as a result of this breach necessitated that the Sheriffs Department should notify the District Attorney, Harris said.The office also spoke with its contractor, Dallas-based Securus, which then tightened its security protocols, Harris said.Prosecutors said they were never told the calls had been tapped, and his current defense team said it also was not told. His previous defense team, which represented him during the 2015 trial in Bristol County, didnt comment.Harvard Law professor Ronald Sullivan, part of Hernandezs new defense team, said they would look into the matter.Harris said that the department does not record telephone calls between inmates and their attorneys but that it does follow the national practice of recording non-attorney calls and alerts both parties that the call is being recorded.
