If you had told us before the game that Duke was going to hold NC State to three points despite only completing four passes and no Riley Leonard to boot, well, who would have believed that?
But that’s exactly what Duke did in a dominant 24-3 win over the Wolfpack.
Henry Belin filled in for the injured Leonard and he played well despite his inexperience, but this was not a passing game for Duke. The Blue Devils won this one on the ground and on defense.
That said, Belin connected with Jalon Calhoun for a 69 yard TD and threw an eight yarder to Jeremiah Hasley for another.
