The Blue Devils confirmed the addition of 20 players for this fall Wednesday...
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s teams have always been known for their defensive prowess.
Early in the game Saturday afternoon, it appeared that Duke was poised to pull off an upset over a quality opponent.
Donovan Varner’s 64-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter Saturday against Virginia made history as it vaulted Varner into a tie with former Blue Devil Clarkston Hines with 189 career receptions.
Florida State’s offense brought an explosive element that Duke had not faced all season.
It has been a decade since the last Duke player was drafted into the NFL, but that hasn’t stopped Eron Riley from trying to make it in the pros.
After a disappointing start, Duke's schedule still offers a chance to reach bowl eligibility.
As the second quarter wound down in Duke’s loss to No. 6 Stanford, it appeared the Blue Devils had all the momentum following a defensive touchdown and successful onside kick.
The Blue Devils have their work cut out for them against Stanford, as they have not beaten a ranked team since November 1994.
The missed opportunities in the red zone that plagued the Blue Devils in 2010 returned in their 2011 season opener, as Duke fell short again against Division I-AA opponent Richmond.
