This was gut-check time for the Blue Devils.
It was a statement come-from-behind win for Duke, which never quit and took the lead in the fourth quarter on back-to-back touchdowns from Juwan Thompson. Duke was outgained by FIU in total yards, first downs, third-down conversions, passing yards -- just about every statistical category except points scored.
This was a legitimate road win for Duke, and the Blue Devils have now put together three straight wins. Duke didn't have one turnover and only had two penalties. For Duke to have a 3-2 record after starting the season with a loss to Richmond is impressive. The question now is whether or not they find three more wins on the schedule.
