Duke football kicks off head coach Manny Diaz's tenure with annual Blue and White game
It was a day of many firsts for the Blue Devils. New head coach Manny Diaz’s first time in front of Duke football fans in Wallace Wade Stadium. Transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy’s first appearance. In the Blue Devils’ annual Blue & White Game, this time with a revamped format, it was ultimately the defense that prevailed 21-16. While the final score was important for fans, it was the development that mattered for Diaz and the program.
