Defense shines for Duke football as Blue Devils stifle UCF, earn win ... (Raleigh News & Observer)

Coach Mike Elko's Blue Devils beat University of Central Florida Knights in an NCAA bowl game in Annapolis, Maryland. Military Bowl score?

Duke put itself in position to regain the lead when Jalon Calhoun caught a Leonard pass and scampered down the sideline inside the UCF 30. Leonard completed four consecutive short passes over the middle, and also gained 11 yards on a run, moving Duke to the Knights 32. The Knights punted and Duke took over at its 31 with 1:14 left until halftime. That’s the most rushing yards in a game for the Blue Devils since gaining 232 yards in a 38-21 win at Boston College on Nov. Instead, center Jack Burns snapped the ball directly to running back Jaquez Moore, who gained 6 yards for a first down against a confused UCF defense. Duke needed six plays, and a bit of trickery, to score a touchdown. It capped an 87-yard drive where Duke gained 70 yards via the rush. Duke’s Darius Joiner fell on the ball to give the Blue Devils possession at their 42. Throughout the game, we consistently ran the ball and were able to find their holes in the defense.” That included a 48-yard field goal Pelino booted as the first half expired, giving Duke a 20-7 halftime lead. The Blue Devils sacked UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee a Military Bowl-record six times, with linebacker Cam Dillon recording two of them. It’s also a sign of them getting healthy again along the offensive line and at running back over the four weeks since the end of the regular season.

And this group is special, this program is special and what this university's football team is going to be about in the future is really special.” Obviously, we had a lot of guys spotting him at different times and a lot of the sacks came from that.” Fred Goldsmith, who led Duke to a Hall of Fame Bowl appearance after the 1994 season, is the only other first-year head coach to reach the postseason in Durham. Leonard’s second-quarter rushing score was Duke’s 30th of the season, shattering a single-season program record set in 1954. The Knights equalized on the very next drive, piecing together a 14-play, 75-yard scoring drive in the closing minutes of the first quarter. But the Blue Devils stood their ground on the ensuing drive, forcing a three-and-out to give Leonard and the offense 1:14 to extend their lead. With halftime approaching and the Blue Devils clinging to a 10-7 lead, Duke (9-4) earned the first true break of the game. It took 13 plays, 54 yards and an eye-popping 6:58 for the Blue Devils to walk away with a 38-yard field goal from Pelino. Plumlee looked strong on the drive, rushing three times for 28 yards and erasing any doubts in his return from a hamstring injury suffered Dec. On their way to Jaquez Moore’s 14-yard scoring dash and a 7-0 lead, the Blue Devils piled up 70 rushing yards on seven carries, including a 37-yard burst by redshirt junior running back Jaylen Coleman. Upon review, Calhoun had stepped out of bounds some 20 yards earlier, and the Blue Devils kept possession. ANNAPOLIS, Md.—In qualifying for the postseason, Duke had to defy all odds in its first year under head coach Mike Elko.
