Observations From Duke’s Loss to Virginia

The Blue Devils staged a nice comeback attempt, led by backup quarterback Parker Boehme, but came up short losing 42-34 to Virginia . Duke fell behind quickly and struggled on offense and defense for much of the game. Devon Edwards returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the first quarter, his third of the season.

It was another frustrating game for the Duke defense. Virginia QB Matt Johns picked on the secondary from the start with little resistance. Johns threw for 359 yards on the day. The Cavaliers had over 500 yards of total offense. After Saturday, Duke had given up 30 points in five straight games.
