The Duke Blue Devils won yet again on Saturday, this time with their most dominant performance yet.
Duke beat Middle Tennessee 45-17 on the road thanks to a commanding game from the defense. The Blue Devils forced four turnovers on their opponent’s side of the field, including three fumbles in the first 15 minutes, and finished with six sacks and 12 tackles for loss. Once sack yardage is factored in, the Blue Raiders only managed 87 net passing yards on 41 plays.
Maalik Murphy, the former Texas Longhorn and first-year Duke starter, did not struggle in a similar fashion. He finished Week 4 with 216 passing yards and three touchdowns, his third straight game with three scoring passes. Tight end Nicky Dalmolin started the game with a 71-yard catch-and-run into the end zone, part of a 100-yard, two-touchdown game for the graduate student.
