Duke’s football team is off to an electrifying start this season, having already snagged a historic victory! As they gear up to face Florida State this Friday night, they have their sights set on breaking a lengthy losing streak against the Seminoles. The Blue Devils (5-1, 1-1 ACC) are the favorites against a struggling Florida State squad that currently sits at 1-5 (1-4 ACC). Just last season, Florida State clinched the conference title and was expected to shine again, but they’ve fallen short of those lofty expectations.
Pregame update
After a tough loss to Georgia Tech on October 5, where two crucial defensive players were limited to just 21 snaps each, Duke is looking much healthier as they prepare to take on Florida State! Defensive backs Cameron Bergeron and Terry Moore, who faced injuries during the last game, are back in uniform and getting ready during warmups.
Linebacker Nick Morris, who played a key role in Duke’s season-opening victory over Elon, is also in uniform for the first time since that win. Although he has missed the last five games, he’s getting closer to hitting the field again! Plus, running back Jaquez Moore, who has been sidelined with a foot injury for three games and most of two others, is also warming up in hopes of making his comeback. Things are looking up for the Blue Devils!
