Elon vs. Duke Condensed Game | 2024 ACC Football

1st Quarter second down and 10 he's going to whip it to the outside C at the 31 catch made there by jamarian Dalton Dalton the receiver goes in motion from left to right Downing looking left pressure coming and Sack brought down at the 21 by Wesley Williams D qu Mo in the back field and he's going to get the first t snakes his way up the middle across the 20 yd line to the 22 for a gain of four brought down by Josh Johnson the no take their hand off they're going to throw it out to the tight end Jeremiah hazley and he is going to be over the line for a first down out to the 29 sophomore from Charlotte second down and eight Duke on it's opening drive across the middle and it's CAU by more that's a connection that Duke fans hope to see a lot this season in the Phoenix territory down to the 45 yd line really well done really well executed as third down at seven Elan trying to make a play on defense and Samir Hagin good catch and run looked like he was handed in along that far sideline makes a nice move there star Thomas again good hesitation trying to stretch it to the outside but good ankle tackle there by DJ Hamilton who's been very active third down and three Jordan Moore that's another dke first down inside the 20 had a team High 62 catches last year eight touchdowns back W Moore power down inside the 15 yd line Nick belos this is Todd Pino coming on for a 32y attempt back for his Junior season was 26 of 32 last year and the year before and he got [Applause] it play fake Downing wrapped up from behind and sacked at theith yeah one once again you know watch watch him skin the corner here right now and and and you know those are shots that create turnovers and we just you know got to do a better job on the edge no surprised that a Manny Diaz team is coming out sharp on defense pressure off the edge again look out Michael Reese getting home this time is gets sacked again this time a loss of eight and he barely stays out of the end zone yeah you're going to see this in the replay right here he gives him a little stutter and he skins him on the edge puts the quarterback down I think Elon really has to start considering some so I mean these are these are tough calls play it safe on Third and 33 Thomas Straight Ahead Breathing Room away from that go line 12 y it's been a well traveled Road and now he's and durh on first down Jordan Moore with another catch given eight on first down trips to the near side and to go with an inside hand on Jaz Mo nice duck around to get away from the pursuit and gets across the 45 yd line a three yd pickup they'll move the chains second down at 10 4 20 to go here in the opening quarter three nothing d home opener Malik Murphy first pressure he's really felt somehow got way to Jordan Moore on the comeback Routan Baker in the back field he'll get their hand off nice move up the middle across the 30 and darts to the 43 yd line best run of the night yeah this is a really good job here the back he does a nice job of of finding that crease and getting in it but this is what I'm talking about you know run the ball a little bit Chandler break boy goes in motion number four is their top Target he's going to get it on the receiver screen slips away and rolls out short of the 40 yd line Phoenix haven't converted on third down yet they need six yds here to keep this drive Al not going to happen as Downing is sacked again but there are two penalty flags on the field sideline they talk about helping him a little bit keep the back in use some chipping to be able to take the rush off here just a little bit they've got to think about that quick game chipping screens draws Blue Devils go to work from their own 14 yd line Malik Murphy in his debut hands off to Thomas and he lost the football but it looks like Duke has recovered turnover and and uh you know almost they almost got the ball back right there uh you know in in the tight Red Zone but Duke was able to get it back and now it's it's first and long so Duke is off schedule right now and that's a that's a plus for Here Comes her third down when we come back it'll help us out we're playing great on defense flying 2nd Quarter around good luck coach thank you you appreciate it they are playing great on defense Duke backed up on third down they get it to Payton Jones under of the back field and he's not going to be anywhere near the first down as DJ Hamilton steps up Carlos Moore is in a right tackle now for the Phoenix this is Rashad Baker on the carry it's hit near the line of scrimmage good second effort Chandler Rivers El trying to find some traction on offense they're very much in this game just need to start moving the football just 11 yds of offense so far on the screen it's bra coach I know that Elon needs to get the ball in his hands as much as possible today they take the direct snap and he's going to find the seam and there's number four getting the first down that's a creative way to get Bray boy involved and he's Elite as a coordinator so on the draw not much Cameron ban getting in to take down Thomas berser on one of the veteran linebackers for Duke to rush five and they're going to run right by it TJ Thomas big third down conversion so now you saw a draw right so we saw the quick touch the Jet Sweep QB run on Third and short now you saw the draw on Third and from 41 Downing heated up and Spilled at the 50 yd line there's berser on again Aaron Hall yeah so they brought that star pressure and ran right through the back and uh you know that's the kind of stuff they they've got to you know try to avoid the other thing I think is they they sit at the line of scrimmage for a long time sometimes and I know they're trying to get the perfect call The Perfect Defense they try to run through the pressure again and Baker gets inside the 45 yd line Jeff y pass the track after the ball can't get it off and it's turned over at the 45 yd line jurk was scrambling and it was a bad one Brock Wilkins the punch Snapper he's not happy with [Music] himself B about the arm Talent Malik mury big cannon of an off and what a catch by Moore just went up staged out of midair takes it to the 30 yd line a gain of 13 and a first down off his back foot with Tod L done we're back to the ground game yeah this is not the same style of quarterback that Duke fans have seen the last couple of years with Riley Leonard I mean it's a third down and 10 Duke two for five on third down this run for scar Thomas is not going to get him to first down yardage as Hamilton makes another stop Dylan Tucker the corner also in on the play that's going to be a four yd gain fourth down with seven minutes to [Applause] go Murphy Aon it out to the end zone incomplete wow that looked like a little bit of an Jonathan py is going to be happy Devonte Edwards the defensive coordinator for Elon has to be happy as the Phoenix have also stood tall on defense as the Phoenix get it back this going to be a 2yd loss on the slant Downing hits Bray booy and that's what Bray booy can do Chandler Bray booy slip screen out here love the call off of a counteraction nicely done again put it in that quick touch category the ball's out it's in the hands of the receiver in space beautiful first down for Eline on first down back to the ground and Baker tough sleding here right now well Duke is you know playing a seven-man box one high so they're plus him with an extra half with full scrimmages full practices during the Spring the the D line has looked sharp here the first game of the Fall there's Bray Boy again has going bring up third down in about seven as rivers and Anthony get to the ball carrier the move the pocket maybe they'll check it fourman rush for dke Downing gets rid of it man wide open at the near sideline it's Doon and he's going to step out 40 escorted to the sideline by Stone the 40 yd yeah they they brought a corner fire and I tell you what the running back did did an unbelievable job of picking up that in Duke territory TJ Thomas good run that's going to be a first down carry for Thomas six carries 30 yds for Thomas he'll stay with him this time Duke is ready that's could to be a loss of a couple couple of timeouts remaining for Duke 144 to go here in the half Malik Murphy and his Duke debut gets it in the hands of Jordan Moore who's been his favorite Target here tonight that's catch number six for more could be Duke's first 1,000 yd receiver the decade and now it's Eli panle making a catch good run after the catch inside the 10 down the 6yd line dragging a tackler it sets it up Eli pankl his first game in 61 days the 24y old look at 55 yd gain and now Duke knocking on the door with just over a minute left CH Mo going for the end zone and he's going to make a [Music] touchdown first touchdown of the season for the Blue Devils and it's Jack qu W Moore sets up the touchdown run for Jack Wes Moore looked like on the throw they had quarters coverage he split the two quarter safeties and a really great throw by Malik I'm very uh excited about 3rd Quarter them I think they're going to have a heck of a year here seven starters back on that defense couple of All-American safeties that played well in the first half more the running back jaquez Mo the catch out of the back field that's going to be a gain of five Murphy quick out and it's caught by Samir Hagen 30 catches last year the number two returning receiver for Duke 3 by1 trips the boundary here trying to get a numbers advantage and they got it yeah receiver screen and pkle nearly got enough for a first down he's going to get eight on first down poo for 42 oh yeah that's good second field goal tonight for Todd Pino I love the expanded playoff I love the fact that the conference champions have automatic [Applause] bid Elon is going to go back to work on offense Bray boy has stopped short of the 20 lost a lot of players only four starters back from that number one scoring defense last year in the ACC and look at this they swarm again Trey Freeman the outside linebacker wraps up up Downing that's going to be a loss of five forget Manny D Diaz is the head coach [Applause] here Freeman team best 106 tackles last year you and I on third down tonight they're in that radar all up package late hand a slow developing play and the Phoenix are going to have to punt [Applause] a run it here on second down and 10 and jaquez Moore with almost 12200 career rushing yards coming into the night that's a problem as this game wears on they're going to try to run it though and that offensive line can't open anything up fourth down interesting Duke this time is running hold up they went after the last punt now they're trying to get a return so they're blocking for the return it's a good one graan Brown the red shirt freshman from Winston Salem gets a close Duke picked 11th out of 17 in the ACC this year yeah I said that right 17 teams in this ACCC conference which now goes Coast to Coast there's another deep shot looking for again and this time he's on target Murphy figh Jo Mo for the touchdown a 48 yd hookup okay here we go there's a good shot of it right here yeah he's this is going to be this is not going to be a touchdown this is going to come back I think the ball's going to be at around the one yd line um you know good good job by the official after one yd line first down and goal Moore dot in the eye play fake Murphy throws and he's got a man for the touchdown it's Jeremiah hazley the tight end who had that drop of the series before he sets up this TouchDown for Jeremiah hazley and it's 19 nothing Duke 19 to nothing Elon is going to bring this back with Bray boy and he's going to be Stanford which will be playing as an ACC member later tonight against TCU at home in his first game of the season uh counting on a problem with the exchange to Baker and he's hammered down by Aaron Hall Aaron Hall a Duram native first year as a starter for number 99 the defensive coordinator is going to want to raise up as this is continuing to roll for this Mercy Vincent Anthony third year to starting defensive end Florida State came in so highly rated and you know obviously it didn't go their way and here we go college football's crazy first down stretched out to the sideline is brown three wide to The Far Side of the field second down at 13 for Malik Murphy and his first start in a season opener star Thomas Manny may it that's what you should do I give a lot of credit for that you're in the respect his teammates and he's right on time this is going to be close to a yes it will Beavis Roberts his first touch tonight that's a 9yd gain and they'll move the CH can't they saw that during their final scrimmage which helped him win the starting job and a lot of coaches and players were just in awe like wow this guy's doing this that is why he's been named the starter and you got a chance to see him on the hook going to try to pick it up on the ground and Pon Jones is going to be knocked short of the line to gain they're going to gain from this just like to see him stay healthy and not lose a bunch of guys Murphy on fourth down and they're not going to convert all for two on fourth down Caleb CT there he is the allam safety getting the job [Music] done third down drop back pass Downing looking for number four great boy he's their best offensive weapon the back trying to pick it up himself and he's going to be very very close Matthew Downing not known for his running ability but quarterback sneak maybe here looks like it and Downing trying to get 4th Quarter a Little Help from the push of Cody Hardy the tight end tell he's gritty I'll give him that now he's a competitor this guy's battling look at this put a lot on his plate he's trying to stay alive in this play gets close to the 50 yd line Azie Nicholas the middle linebacker Princeton Brad transfer in elon's last four games as they just miss making the postseason caught at the near sideline Chandler Bray booy Here Comes The Duke pressure Downing steps up and he's going to be sacked again mercy so this number eight so there it is you know they had a Twist inside and they penetrated the edges were better but now they're coming at him on the inter and that's going to be on ABC as well as duke goes back to work on offense that pass is complete to Javon Harvey yeah he's very talented he's going to change the course for this Miami football team this year I really believe that he's a dual threat he's got a great arm I think he might be the elite QB transfer in the ACC this year first down four yards or more uh in the high 60% and they're not anywhere close to that right now that's that's that's a strain on the offense second and 15 and that pass is picked off there's Caleb curtain he had a pick six last year against Wake Forest in the season opener and he plucks that one away from Malik Murphy who had another over throw there there's no doubt about his arm strength but he has been high and a little wide a few times tonight he has been and he's going to have to work on that there'll be plenty for practice next week you know I think I think he felt a little bit of the rush on his left side and I think that threw him off a little bit second down from the 45 of the blue just in the back field all night that time Joshua pick the veteran Corner in his fourth year gets into the back field for the loss on the back field of ton pressure again down and gets it away this time to the sideline it's caught by grab the Lexington North Carol just hope they get put him in a situation or they're going to run one the other Winston went through on the Jet Sweep they hand it off to Baker he spins the head to be put your pads up there and the and the lighting comes on him and gets rid of all the bacteria it's it's Modern Age it's beautiful kill staff and all kinds of stuff that's it's a great thing p the second straight play gets in the hands of star Thomas look out the New Mexico State transfer first down into [Applause] midi and Duke isn't nearly running at the tempo that they were earlier in this game they kind of taken the foot out the gas as the game is worn on as PT Jones gets the hand out there third down Jes again 30 he's got good first 10 sophomore out of North Virginia give him nine chance for some wins here for Duke it would look like and then the real test begins as the ACC schedule starts Thomas gets it inside to 24 a first down there come together too so many new people here in the program as panle makes the catch we haven't seen him since that big catch that set up the touchdown of the first half deep position group of pass catchers that Jonathan Brewer has in his stable he's got a little M he's got a little Lashley he's got a little Sunny dikes star Thomas hops to the outside he's wrapped up it'll be third down and goal to go and I think their quarterback's tough and gritty I think their team's tough and gritty tou that was a strike corner of the end zone Eli P makes the ground so Murphy just throws a to the blue paint and Duke is able to get in for another touchdown good protection here you know good throw good catch and good confidence Builder he's a heck of a football coach he did a great job at Miami and yes they probably should have gave a little more time but he's got another chance here and he is going to do great things here at Duke I really believe that these some great things that we got done now we'll have time next to watch the film and we'll we'll keep growing on the things we have to improve on but you want them to feel good about the work they got through preseason camp and be honest just just be a positive honest transfer from Western Michigan in there at the controls now this is ran Baker gets away gets into plus territory across the 50 yd line every every game every week is is going to he's going to grow and in and what you'll see in the next three weeks hopefully is tremendous development out of out of your quarterback in the leag Murphy I'm sure the last two years as Penn State's defensive coordinator said it was going to take the right job to leave Happy Valley and very happy with taking over here at Duke is Will Langford former quarterback half the country will wake up on Monday are going to be 0 and one and half are going to be be 1 and0 and right now we're going to be one of the ones that's one and0 it's a good place to be it's a good place to be salopek throws and that is going to be a first [Music] down Jack burkowitz is going to try to get Elon on the board from 39 yds attempted from 49 earlier hit the crossb going into the same End Zone this time it's good Manny Diaz wins his first game as head coach ad do Saturday September 14 26-3 the final
