The Duke football program kicked off its 2025 season on August 28th with a home victory over FCS opponent Elon, 45-17. After a rocky start for the Blue Devils offensively, it was a tale of two halves. Duke entered the locker room at halftime tied 10-10 with no rhythm established on the offensive side of the ball. Head coach Manny Diaz delivered the perfect speech in the locker room, and it led to an offensive explosion across the second 30 minutes. The Blue Devils went on to outscore Elon 35-7 in the second half to begin the season with a dominant victory.
