DURHAM, N.C. -- Grayson Allen is playing hurt with some ailments that have added up for Dukes junior guard.But the Blue Devils are continuing to count on him and hes more than ready to do his part.The confidence in my shooting never left me, Allen said. It was just I had to make them.Allen figures to be one of the focal points again Saturday afternoon when No. 6 Duke takes on visiting Appalachian State.Allen is coming off a 17-point outing against William & Mary. He made three 3-point baskets in the game after going a combined 2-for-18 on 3-pointers in the previous three games.Its about time I made some shots, he said. It felt better to see the ball go in the net.The Blue Devils (5-1) need Allens offense as they wait for their roster to stabilize.Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said its fortunate that Allen has been able to play through his assortment of injuries, but the guard has missed practice time.Hes still not there, Krzyzewski said of playing at full capacity. We have to keep playing and keep getting better and get Grayson healthier.Allen has been a double-digit scorer in each game, though leading the team in scoring only once.The injury list has been part of the theme for the Blue Devils across the first couple of weeks of the season.Three injured freshmen were in uniform for Wednesday nights game against William & Mary, part of what Krzyzewski described as the process in bringing them back to action though none of them has made an official collegiate debut. Forward Marques Bolden and center Harry Giles might be closet to game action based on the fact that they went through warm-ups, while swingman Jayson Tatum was mostly a spectator during the pregame.I think the transition from serious injury isnt just physical, but its also mental, Krzyzewski said. I think to put on your uniform, do warm-ups as much as you can and be a part of the team is something we wanted to transition them to. ... Everything is progressing well.Duke has won three games since its loss to Kansas. The Blue Devils have put five players in double-figure scoring in every game.Appalachian State coach Jim Fox likes his team to be aggressive, so if that leads to a brisk pace, that could work to Dukes advantage at Cameron Indoor Stadium.I think were at our best when were pushing and really attacking, Fox said. We cant go through those droughts and playing on our heels.Appalachian State (2-2) is coming off a 70-61 victory at Hartford, with sophomore guard Ronshad Shabazz pouring in 28 points. That marked only the third non-conference road victory in three seasons under Fox.The Mountaineers have won back-to-back games after opening the season with road losses to Davidson and Tennessee.Against Tennessee we had that abysmal stretch, Fox said. We didnt attack the way I know we can.Shabazz is from Raleigh, so hell be playing about a half-hour from home.Duke has won the last six meetings with Appalachian State, though the teams havent met since 1988.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- With their star quarterback behind center again, Dwayne Allen and T.Y. Hilton had field days against the New York Jets.Make that a field night at the Meadowlands as they helped the Indianapolis Colts (6-6) move into a tie atop the AFC South with a 41-10 romp that looked easy from the outset.Allen caught a career-high three touchdown passes from Andrew Luck and hauled in all four throws on which he was targeted for 72 yards. The tight end couldnt have been more open on his first two TDs, and Luck sent a perfect pass his way on the third.Considering he had 24 receptions and two scores in 2016 before this prime-time rout, was Allen surprised by his production?No, not at all, he said. Woke up this morning prepared to execute the game plan and do whatever my team needed me to do to win. After the second one I said, `It doesnt get much easier than that to just walk in.Which is precisely what Allen did. And he praised his offensive coordinator.Rob Chudzinski does a great job of spreading the ball around, Allen explained. At the beginning of the year he said, `Guys, be patient. It can be anyones night on any given night. Tonight just happened to be mine.Not entirely. Hilton toyed with cornerback Darrelle Revis and other Jets defensive backs, making nine catches for 146 yards. Hilton went over 1,000 yards for the fourth time in his five pro seasons.Hilton shook his head about how the Jets tried to cover him, particularly in the first half when the game was decided and Indy took a 24-3 lead.Man-to-man coverage, he said. You cant do that. You just cant do that.Just pitch and catch. For (Luck), I just wanted him to know I was going to be there for him. Guys stepped up, especially Dwayne Allen.No one stepped up for the Jets (3-9, 1-5 at home).I thought they kicked our ass, coach Todd Bowles said. I dont think we had a lot of effort. Im sure there are some people who showed up, but for the most part we got our ass kicked.Other observations from this Monday night massacre:MINI-PLAYOFF: Now that the Colts have caught Houston, which has led the AFC South most of the year, its created a three-way tie atop the division. Indy hosts the Texans on Sunday in what several players and coach Chuck Pagano dubbed a playoff game.Its all right there in front of us, Pagano said, and out there for us and the guys understand that, regardless of whats happened previously. Weve been on a little roller-coaster ride, but our guys have stayed strong. They have great resolve and determination, and theyre driven.Hes right about the up-and-down nature of the season. The Colts lost three of thheir first four, but now theyve won three of four, the only defeat coming to Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving night with Luck sidelined by a concussion.ddddddddddddThe schedule has a two-game trip to Minnesota and Oakland and a finale at home against Jacksonville. Houston must play the Jaguars and Bengals at home before finishing at the Titans. Tennessee has an imposing next two weeks, hosting Denver and visiting Kansas City. It then gets Jacksonville before the season ender at home vs. the Texans.We got our confidence going, Hilton said. Its December football. Every game is a must-win situation and the seasons on the line. It sets us up big for next week.QB SHUFFLE: An ineffective Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched in the third quarter for Bryce Petty, who will start the final four games for the Jets.The plan was to start him the last four games, anyway, Bowles said. So, we just started a half early.Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year, finished 11 of 25 for 135 yards with a touchdown to Robby Anderson and two interceptions.Fitzpatrick, in what could be his last appearance on the field in a Jets uniform, was 5 of 12 for 81 yards with a pick. He re-signed with New York on a one-year, $12 million deal after setting a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes last season.I just, I didnt get it done, Fitzpatrick said.FAST START: Luck and his teammates couldnt wait to get going against the Jets, and it showed from the outset. They forced two three-and-outs and scored touchdowns after New York punted each time.There was no looking back.It was good to get our rhythm going, said Luck, who went 22 of 28 for 278 yards, the three TD passes to Allen and one to Donte Moncrief. We did some really good things.Starting center Ryan Kelly, Indianapolis first-round draft pick this year, saw things clicking from the first snap.In all phases, we were, he said. When that happens, its easier to call plays and do different things. Every player stepped up. A lot of the guys came in with the mindset that we were not going to be denied in this game.INJURIESColts: LB DQwell Jackson left in the fourth quarter with a concussion. RG Denzelle Good also sustained a concussion.Jets: LB Julian Stanford hurt his ankle in the third quarter and S Antonio Allen sustained a concussion in the final period. C Nick Mangold returned from a four-game hiatus because of a sprained ankle, but aggravated it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
