A slow start was no problem for the Duke football team against North Carolina A&T.

After dropping the season opener to the Charlotte 49ers, the Duke football team certainly did not give off the impression that they were motivated against the North Carolina A&T Aggies on Friday night.

The Blue Devils (1-1) lost ten yards on three plays on its opening drive and then saw North Carolina A&T (0-2) march 86 yards on 20 plays while eating up 12 minutes on the game clock to taken an early 7-0 at Wallace Wade Stadium.
