Thad Lewis, Duke quarterback
Lewis finally found his comfort level for the first time this season, completing 17 of 25 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns -- as well as a rushing touchdown -- in less than three quarters of play.
PLAY OF THE GAME
Duke freshman Desmond Scott announced his arrival and helped establish the Blue Devils' dominance on their second drive, making a nice cut on a run up the middle for a 23-yard touchdown that made it 14-0 less than eight minutes in.
STAT OF THE GAME
Duke ran for 183 yards combined in its first three games; the Blue Devils netted 233 yards Saturday.
WHAT THE WIN MEANS
The Blue Devils took care of business and gained a little confidence along the way, something they'll need when they open their ACC schedule next Saturday at noon against Virginia Tech at Wallace Wade Stadium.
