Murphy rifled the four-yard pass toward Moore in the end zone, and the hearts of Blue Devils fans in attendance skipped a beat as the ball initially ricocheted off of Moore’s chest and back into the air. The senior managed to corral the ball again, however, and the Blue Devils got their first touchdown of the day.

After back-to-back 100-yard games to start the season, Moore caught two passes for 49 yards on the opening drive against the Huskies. If he averages 112.7 yards over Duke’s final 10 games, he’ll break the school record for single-season receiving yards.

Murphy, for his part, completed all five of his passes for 59 yards on the opening drive. The connection gave him his sixth touchdown pass of the season, also putting him on pace to threaten the Duke record books. No Blue Devils quarterback has thrown more than 24 touchdown passes in a single season.
