Threes-and-out, Crazy Play

Bacher rushed for eight yards to get the Cats outside the shadow of their own goalposts. Bacher has been able to get outside twice for 12 yards. Remember in last year's contest Bacher escaped several times to put the Cats in the red zone. This is something to try to take advantage of...

Sutton rushed for a short gain on second down, and Peterman dropped a pass on third down as Bacher thread the needle between two defenders. While the pass was catchable, this one's not Peterman's fault; he was hit trying to make the reception.

Duke gets the ball at its 40 yard line, completes a near first down, and throws two incomplete passes on second and third down. Why is Duke abandoning the rushing game? Clifford Harris has rushed 10 times for 55 yards. 

On the attempted punt, punter Kevin Jones muffed the snap and the ball went out of bounds at their own 21 yard line.
