Following Duke’s 28-7 win over 9th ranked Clemson Duke Head Coach Mike Elko had this to say about Riley Leonard who ran for 44 yard run who completed two point conversion to Jalon Calhoun for two point conversion.
That is what that kid [Riley Leonard] continues to do. Right? It's his ability to elevate at the right
moment at the right time when we need him. We call the play, I don't think we blocked it real good and
I think they were in a really good look and he breaks a tackle and he scores a touchdown. That is just
what that kid does. He's such a competitor. He puts this team on his shoulders, and he drives them
forward. He will come in and tell you there's a lot he's got to clean up too, but man, when it's time to
step up, make plays that kids done it since the day I got here.”
