Coach Cutcliffe talks Sun Bowl loss

Video

EL PASO - Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe addressed the media after his team's heartbreaking 36-31 loss to Arizona State in the 2014 Hyundai Sun Bowl. The Blue Devils battled back from an early 20-3 deficit only to watch another 4th quarter bowl game lead slip away. Despite the loss, Cutcliffe was particularly upbeat about the direction of the Duke program, thanks to an outstanding class of seniors who have led the Blue Devils to 3 straight postseason bowl games, and the most successful 2-year stretch in Duke Football history.

Mistakes cost Blue Devils in loss to Virginia Tech

DURHAM - All season long, the Blue Devils have prided themselves on taking care of the football and protecting their quarterback. With an extra week to prepare, Bud Foster and the Virginia Tech defense were able to turn the tables on Anthony Boone and the Duke offense. The Hokies forced three Blue Devil turnovers and sacked Boone three times on Saturday en route to a 17-16 win. Boone finished the day just 18/40 for 181 yards with 2 interceptions.

Turnovers weren't the only miscues for the Blue Devils on Saturday, as Ross Martin missed on two field goals, from 51 and 40 yards. The second miss, with 2:26 left to play, essentially sealed the win for the Hokies. Duke's junior kicker had been perfect on the season entering the game.

The Blue Devils (8-2, 4-2 ACC) face a quick turnaround as they host rival North Carolina in a Thursday night matchup on ESPN. As has been the case in recent meetings, more than just the Victory Bell will be at stake for both teams.

Coach Cutcliffe Post-Game: Duke 20, Virginia 13

Video

DURHAM - Duke Head Coach Cutcliffe was clearly pleased with his team's effort in a 20-13 Homecoming win on over Virginia on Saturday. He pointed out his defense's 10 pass break-ups, the play of the offensive line, and an emotional boost from Shaquille Powell as keys to the victory. Duke is now 6-1, tied for 1st place in the ACC Coastal Division, and bowl-eligible for the 3rd straight year as they head into a second bye week.

Duke offense discusses 20-13 win over Virginia

Video

DURHAM - Duke RB Shaquille Powell led two second-half scoring drives for the Blue Devils in their 20-13 victory over Virginia. Powell, who missed last week with a leg injury, returned to finish with 6.2 yards per carry against a highly-touted Virginia front seven. He received a standing ovation in the post-game locker room from his teammates for his efforts in the midst of his younger brother's battle with a Wilms' tumor. 

Senior quarterback Anthony Boone led Duke to yet another victory, moving to 16-1 as a starter in regular season games, moving him to second on the Blue Devils' all-time list. He finished the day 22-37 for 176 yards and 1 toucdown, and perhaps most importantly, led the Blue Devils to no turnovers on the afternoon.

Senior WR Jamison Crowder once again led the Blue Devil receiving corps with 88 yards on 8 catches. He has had at least 2 catches in 35 straight games. He joined Conner Vernon and Clarkston Hines today in the 3,000 yard receiver club at Duke.

The game ball today probably is split between the aforementioned Powell and the Blue Devil offensive line. Entering today's game, Virginia was among the top defenses in the country, forcing 19 turnovers, 23 sacks, and 43 tackles for loss. On Saturday, they finished without a single turnover, sack, or tackle for loss. Duke averaged 5.2 yards on the ground, nearly twice the season average of Virginia's opponents entering today. Senior OL Takoby Cofield discussed the big victory and bowl eligibility.
