RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State safety Rakeim Ashford won’t play this weekend against No. 13 Notre Dame after he was taken off the field on a stretcher during the season-opening win at Connecticut, coach Dave Doeren said Monday.Ashford spent Thursday night in the hospital for tests before being released on Friday and returning to Raleigh.

He went down and lay motionless for about 10 minutes as both teams knelt and watched emergency crews work on him. The Hu...
