One week before its much-hyped spring game, Duke held a 90-play scrimmage Saturday in Wallace Wade Stadium.
Running back Re'quan Boyette, who shined in Duke's 100-snap scrimmage March 29 with 98 all-purpose yards, registered yet another impressive performance this spring season.
He racked up 139 yards on 18 carries, good enough for 7.7 per carry. Boyette also chipped in the day's best play-a 65-yard scamper for one of his two touchdowns.
Boyette, a senior, led Duke in rushing last season with 432 yards on the ground.
The Blue Devils' passing game was also improved, as quarterbacks Thaddeus Lewis and Zack Asack protected the ball all morning after throwing a combined four interceptions in the first scrimmage. Lewis amassed 151 yards on 17-of-25 passing, while Asack added 63 yards through the air and rushed for one score.
On the defensive side, three different players recorded a sack on the day. When Duke head coach David Cutcliffe served as Tennessee's offensive coordinator last season, the Volunteers only surrendered four sacks all year.
The Blue Devils' last spring practice is the spring game next Saturday at 1 p.m. in Wallace Wade.
