DURHAM, N.C. – Bob Pascal, a former All-America running back at Duke and member of the school's Hall of Fame, passed away on Friday. He was 86.
A native of Bloomfield, N.J., Pascal lettered three seasons (1953-54-55) as a running back and helped the Blue Devils to a three-year record of 22-6-3 including three ACC championships and a 34-7 win over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on January 1, 1955. Duke did not lose an ACC contest during Pascal's career, posting a perfect 12-0 ledger while finishing each season ranked in at least one of the two major national polls.
