The Duke football team will be without [autotag]Jaquez Moore[/autotag] for the third game of the season after the senior running back was ruled out for the Blue Devils’ game against Connecticut.
Moore rushed for 11 yards on three carries against Northwestern in Week 2 before exiting the game with an ankle injury. He did not play in the second half or overtime against the Wildcats.
The veteran runner scored Duke’s first touchdown of the season against Elon in Week 1, and he had 35 yards on 13 attempts between the first two games. He finished second on the team with 674 rushing yards in 2023, his second straight season above 500 yards.
In Moore’s absence, expect New Mexico State transfer Star Thomas to lead the backfield. The first-year Blue Devil got the ball 17 times against the Wildcats in Week 2, and he leads the team with 30 attempts so far this season.
