Syracuse football fared about as well against Duke as it did in the replay booth on Saturday.
On a second-and-20 play with 12:49 left in the second quarter and the Orange trailing 10-3, Johntay Cook was being gang-tackled by three Blue Devils when a fourth player — linebacker Jaiden Francois — charged toward him and gradually lowered the crown of his helmet.
Cook already hauled in a pass from quarterback Rickie Collins, made a football move by tucking the ball and running forward and had his momentum stopped by members of Duke’s secondary.
