Hurricanes beat Duke

MIAMI (AP) - Jacory Harris threw for 348 yards and two

touchdowns, Darryl Sharpton capped his final home game with a

73-yard interception return for a score, and No. 21 Miami staved

off a Duke challenge for the fourth straight year in a 34-16 win

Saturday.

Damien Berry's 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter

opened the floodgates for Miami (8-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast

Conference). Leonard Hankerson had career bests of eight catches

and 143 yards - including a 44-yard score - for the Hurricanes, who

scored the final 24 points to keep hope alive for their first

10-win season since 2003.

Thaddeus Lewis finished 20 of 37 for 303 yards for Duke (5-6,

3-4), taking over the school's all-time lead in passing yardage

with 9,678. Donovan Varner caught eight passes for a career-high

165 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Devils, who have now lost 55

straight away from home against ranked opponents, dating to October

1971.
