Riley Leonard started things off for Duke against Boston College with a 60 yard run for a touchdown on the Blue Devils’ opening drive and BC never recovered, falling 38-31. With the win, Duke is now bowl eligible.
It was the first step in a long night for BC’s defense as Duke just kept running the ball, ultimately outgaining the Eagles by 158 yards, 233 to a mere 75.
Leonard nearly got more on his one run than BC did the entire game.
In fairness, Boston College had to go with a backup quarterback, but Emmett Morehead did pretty well, passing for 330 yards and four TDs.
