The Duke football program kicked off its 2025 season at Wallace Wade Stadium tonight, August 28th. It was a slow first quarter for the offense as a whole, as Elon limited the Blue Devils to just three points through the first 15 minutes. New Duke quarterback Darian Mensah looks to have some jitters early in his first start with his new program, as we've seen a few inaccurate deep balls that he's connected on in the past more often than not. However, another Blue Devil has reintroduced himself to the offense in a major way.

Jaquez Moore was supposed to be the Blue Devils' lead back in 2024, but an injury he suffered in the team's Week Two game against Northwestern sidelined the back for almost the entirety of the remainder of the season.
