Anthony Walker admitted he didn’t take the best angle to the quarterback.
With his team in the red zone on the first possession of the second half, Duke QB Daniel Jones kept the ball on a read option and looked to run. Walker flew around the edge toward him, but Jones cut inside and appeared to have plenty of room to pick up a big chunk of yards. At least it seemed that way until Walker, in one motion, stuck out his right arm, punched the ball out and scooped it up for an important turnover.
“I came too far up the field, gave the quarterback an inside lane,” Walker said.
