The Duke football program has now lost two straight games, and serious regrouping by Manny Diaz and his staff has to be done for the Blue Devils to have any hope of competing atop the ACC this season. However, one position battle is starting to arise, as freshman running back Nate Sheppard is gaining ground on veteran Jaquez Moore, and Sheppard could take over as the RB1 for the team at some point this season.
