In the Carrier Dome on Saturday, Syracuse allowed two Duke rushers to eclipse the 150-yard mark. It was the first time such an occasion occurred in Blue Devil program history.

Deon Jackson and Mataeo Durant, whom Duke coach David Cutcliffe labeled “The Stable” after the 38-24 trouncing, each posted career-highs in both yards and carries. They led a Blue Devils rushing attack that recorded 363 total yards, gashing Syracuse from start to finish.
