Duke football: 2 risers and 2 fallers after the Blue Devils' lopsided victory at Syracuse
Illinois v Duke | Lance King/GettyImagesThe Duke football program picked up a lopsided 38-3 victory at Syracuse this weekend to improve to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in conference play. After Virginia's upset of Florida State and Clemson's continued struggles, the ACC crown is there for the taking, and it looks like the Duke offense is beginning to find its rhythm. The Blue Devils scored at least seven points in all four quarters for the second straight week, after not doing so in any of their first three games. Now, Duke will return home to host California as it looks to get off to a 3-0 start in ACC action. There were a few guys this week who helped their case to continue to get more snaps, but also a few who are on the wrong side of that. Let's take a look at two risers and fallers following Duke's win.
