His play on the defensive line didn't lead to any sacks, but Chris Combs turned in a dominant performance Saturday in Duke's game against N.C. State. On seemingly every pass play, Combs was on Jamie Barnette's back just after the pass was released. While Combs couldn't cover Torry Holt too, he forced Barnette to get rid of the ball or leave the pocket within a few seconds as N.C. State rarely double-teamed the Duke junior. For his efforts, Chris Combs is the Chronicle's "Sometimes it doesn't show up in the stats" Athlete of the Week.
