The Duke football program collapsed late once again in the second half in another loss to North Carolina State.

It was almost the same exact script from two weeks ago in Duke’s loss to Virginia Tech.

The punt team got the Blue Devils on the board thanks to a block and return for a touchdown by Dorian Mausi to put Duke up 7-0 over North Carolina State, but then nothing truly went right for the Blue Devils from there.

Duke tried to capitalize on its fortune with the blocked punt and forced another Wolfpack fumble on its ensuing drive, deep in its own territory, but quarterback Chase Brice only needed three plays to give the ball right back to its rival with an interception at the 14-yard line.
