DURHAM — Duke running back Tony Jackson has been dismissed from the program, the university announced today.

In a university statement released this afternoon, Duke coach Cutcliffe said Jackson was dismissed for "failing to uphold the standard of conduct expected of a Blue Devil football student-athlete."

WINSTON-SALEM — Tony Jackson and Jay Hollingsworth squeezed out a total of 130 yards on the ground on Saturday against a Wake Forest defense that had been holding teams to about 91 per game. It's a good number considering Duke managed just 28 at Vanderbilt last weekend.

But the number was not as impressive as how the sophomore and true freshman got those yards. Mostly Jackson and Hollingsworth were able to pound between the tackles and go up the gut, especially during a 10-play, 70-yard scoring drive late in the third quarter that turned a 19-14
deficit into a 20-19 lead.
