Chase Brice, Duke Are Still Searching For Their First Win Of The Season As They Head To Syracuse New York To Take On Syracuse
In 2019!
Duke was routed by Syracuse!
Where?
In Durham North Carolina!
Why?
Because Duke had three first turnovers and Syracuse capitalized on those mistakes while Syracuse held Duke to scoreless in the second half.
During that game Duke saw redshirt senior quarterback Quentin Harris throw for 157 yards on 19-of-36 attempts. Sixty-three of those 157 yards went to Aaron Young as he led the team in receiving yards. Mataeo Durant led the ground game with 54 yards on 11 carries, while teammate Deon Jackson racked up 32 yards on 13 carries. Duke also managed to compile with 279 yards of total offense throughout the game. “according to https://goduke.com/news/2020/10/3/football-blue-devils-edged-by-hokies-38-31.aspx
Today Duke who is last in the Atlantic Coast Conference will take on Syracuse who comes into the game with a record of 1-2 and is eleventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference “according to https://theacc.com/standings.aspx?path=football in Syracuse New York with a new starting quarterback in Chase Brice who transferred from Clemson and who has had success verses Syracuse!
When?
When Clemson lost starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence to a neck injury on September 29, 2018 late in the second half verses Syracuse!
Because of that Chase Brice had to replace him!
In that game Chase Brice was 7-for-13 passing for 83 yards, spending most of the second half handing off to Clemson's running backs, the leader of which was a monstrous performance by sophomore Travis Etienne, who topped out at 203 yards rushing from 27 carries with three touchdowns. Brice came up big with a fourth-down completion and a first-down scramble on the final drive, leading to a touchdown that allowed the defense to melt the clock away and seal the win for the Tigers. “according to an article by Chip Patterson on cbsports.com”
And Clemson topped Syracuse 27-23!
On Saturday Chase Brice will look to have more success verses Syracuse.
This time as the starting quarterback for Duke who’s season is off to an 0-4 start in the Atlantic Coast Conference as they’re still searching for their first win of the season!
Why?
Because Duke lost to Virginia Tech!
When?
A week ago!
Why?
Because Duke had settle for a Charlie Ham thirty nine yard field goal instead of a touchdown as time expired as they couldn’t turn the turnover into a touchdown!
While Syracuse who like Duke is a member of Atlantic Coast Conference had a bye last week and unlike Duke won their previous game verses Georgia Tech on September 26, 2020!
Where?
In Syracuse New York!
