Final (Duke 54, N.C. Central 17): Ross Cockrell scored the Blue Devils' first defensive touchdown of the game with a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown, the first time since 2004 that Duke has scored on offense, defense and special teams. Anthony Boone and Jela Duncan ran the offense for much of the final period, surrounded by a number of other reserves. Sophomore Jack Wise caught his first career touchdown pass for the Blue Devils' final score on an 11-yard pass from Boone. Brandon Connette continued his musical chairs-like positional rotation by seeing snaps at defensive back in the final few minutes.
