As Henry Belin IV Threw Pass To Jalon Calhoun For Touchdown As Henry Belin IV Threw Pass To Jeremiah Hasley For Touchdown 17th Ranked Duke Beat NC State 24-3 Saturday In Durham

In the 1st quarter Henry Belin IV threw 69 yard pass to Jalon Calhoun, Todd Pelino made the extra point as 17th ranked Duke took a 7-3 lead over NC State. In the 2nd quarter Todd Pelino made 52 yard field goal extending 17th ranked Duke’s lead 10-3 before Jermiah Hasley caught 8 yard pass from Henry Belin IV, Todd Pelino made the extra point extending 17th ranked Duke’s lead yet again over NC State this time to 17-3. In the 3rd quarter Jordan Waters ran for 83 yard touchdown, Todd Pelino made extra point extending Duke’s lead to 24-3.

Though,

The offense wasn’t the only reason 17th ranked Duke beat NC State 24-3 as they also beat them as Duke’s defense held NC State to only 3 points. Those 3 points came in the 1st quarter when Brayden Narveson kicked a field goal in the 1st quarter.

Following Duke’s 24-3 win over NC State Duke’s backup quarterback who was taking the place of starting quarterback Riley Leonard who is recovering, rehabbing an ankle injury had this to say!

I went to the sideline and I had a bunch of guys telling me next play next play . In my mind I knew it was next play . I knew we were going to be good . Just go out there and do what we’re supposed to do

Following Duke’s 24-3 win over NC State Duke Head Coach Mike Elko had this to say!

I think that is the character of this program . I don’t think its up for debate anymore.

Following Duke’s 24-3 win over NC State Duke linebacker Tre Freeman who had 15 tackles who collected an interception had this to say about how Duke performed defensively against NC State

That’s just everything we work . We’re going to go out there and get a stop because the offense needs us right now so that’s what were going to do.

According to Stephen Wiseman’s article on newsobserver.com

17th ranked Duke is now going to prepare to play 4th ranked Florida State Saturday in Tallahassee where the question is going to remain the same. Henry Belin IV, Riley Leonard starting at quarterback for Duke, Head Coach Mike Elko ?

Will have to wait and see though at least we know Duke has a backup quarterback to Riley Leonard in Henry Belin IV that is capable of leading the Duke offense and a defense that is capable of stopping their opponent.

Kickoff for Duke, Florida State is set for 7:30pm on ABC from Doak Campbell Stadium!

Though,

Who is commentating the game is to be determined!
