[Applause] and Elon is going to start at the 25 Dal the receiver goes in motion from left to right Downing looking left pressure coming and Sack brought down at the 21 by Wesley Williams that's going to have to kick yeah he had a speed move and beat the right tackle and that Ball's got to get out this is the matchups you're going to want to watch right here tonight are these hands on these tackles they've got great athleticism great get off up the field D qu more in the back field and he's going to get the first touch 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 noep sophomore from Charlotte second down and eight Duke Onex opening drive across the middle and it's caught by Jordan Moore that's a connection and Duke fans

eight [Music] touchdowns back W Moore power down inside the 15 yd line Nick belos this is Todd Pino coming on for a 32 yd attempt back for his Junior season's 26 of 32 last year and the year before and he got [Applause] it play fake Downing wrapped up from behind and sacked at the T Smith yeah once again you know watch watch him skin the corner here right now and and and you know those are shots that create turn turnovers and we just you know got to do a better job on the edge so I mean these are these are tough calls play safe on Third and 33 Thomas Straight Ahead some Breathing Room away from that go line the 12 y it's been a well traveled Road and now he and durh on first down Jordan Moore with another catch given eight on first down on second down of 10 four 4 20 to go here in the opening quarter three nothing do home opener Malik Murphy first pressure he's really felt somehow got away 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 33 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 creasing getting in it but this is what I'm talking about you know run the ball a little bit Phoenix hav converted on thir down they need six yards here to keep this drive alive not going to happen as Downing is sacked again but there are two penalty flags on the field help us out we're playing great on defense flying around good luck coach thank 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 step up El trying to find subraction on offense they're very much in this game just need to start moving the football just 11 yd of offense so far on the screen it's BR boy coach I know that Elon needs to get the ball in his hands as much as possible today to take the direct snap and he's going to find a seam and there's number four getting the first down that's a creative way to get Bray boy ball making sure that Duke has eye discipline and then they they run the quarterback and they come downhill and they get some really good plus yards that's he's Elite as a coordinator so on the draw not much C berson getting in to take down Thomas berson one of the veteran linebackers for Duke in a 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 extra long avoid letting the quarterback have the sit back there really well done well done by Elon 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 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 [Applause] scrambling on slant Downing hits Bray booy and that's what Bray boy can do Chandler brayboy 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 with full scrimmages full practices during the Spring but the D line has looked sharp here the first game of the Fall there's Bray booy again it's going bring up third down at about seven as rivers and Anthony get to the ball carrier he to move the pocket maybe they'll check it fourman rush for Duke Downing gets rid of it man wide open at the near sideline it's Doon and he's going to step out the 40 escorted to the sideline by [Music] Stone 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 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 Mo's been his favorite Target here tonight that's catch number six for more could be Duke's first 1000yd receiver in the decade and now it's Eli panko making a catch good run after for the catch inside the 10 down to the 6yd line dragging a tackler it sets it up Eli pkle his first game in 61 days the 24y old look at what 55 yd gain and now Duke knocking on the door with just over a minute left CH has Mo going for the end zone and he's going to make it touchdown first touchdown of the season for the Blue Devils and it's Jack quz Mo sets up the touchdown run for Jack quz Moore look like on the throw they had quarters coverage he split the two quarter safeties and a really great throw by Malik mury quick out and it's caught by Samir Hagen 30 catches last year the number two returning receiver for Duke they're going trip 3 by one trips in the boundary here trying 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 [Music] down goes to pkle again who's 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 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 19 to nothing Elon is going to bring this back with gray boy and he's going to be Florida State K so highly rated and you know obviously it didn't go their way and here we go college football's [Music] crazy first down stretched out to the sideline is brown 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 is doing this that is why he's been named the starter and you got a chance to see him on the hook poo from 42 oh yeah that's good second field goal tonight for Todd Pino 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 bran Brown the red sh freshman from Winston Salem gets a [Applause] close yeah one thing you always tell these returners you like to start vertical and then bend based off of what's coming down the field I thought he had a chance to initially get a little vertical first quarterback sneak maybe here looks like it and Downing trying to get a Little Help from the push of Cody Hardy the tight end in elon's last four games as they just missed making the postseason caught at the near sideline Chandler Bray boy 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 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 Curt 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 overthrow 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 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 as will Langford former quarterback 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 on the back field a ton pressure again down and gets it away this time to the sideline it's caught by grab the Lexington north him 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 the 24 a first down come together two 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 in the first half part of this off that's just still once again that's another RPO a run pass option play where he pulled it out of the out of the uh hands of the back and he and I think their quarterback's tough and gritty I think their team's tough and gritty T that was a strike the end Z and Eli makes the 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 half the country will wake up on Monday are going to be 0 and one and half are going to be 1 and0 and right now we're going to be one of the ones that's 1 and0 it's a good place to be it's our good place to be Jack burkowitz is going to try to get Elon on the board from 39 [Applause] yds attempted from 49 earlier hit the crossb going into the same End Zone this time it's good that's got to feel good for that Elon sideline burwitz puts it right between the eyes and Tony trani's team is on the board here with 14 seconds left
