Live scores, highlights and updates from the NC State vs. Duke football game

The Duke Blue Devils are on the road again on Saturday and play against the NC State Wolfpack at 3:30 p.m. ET Oct. 17 at Carter-Finley Stadium. Duke will be hoping to continue their now three-game streak of scoring more points each contest than the last.

When you finish with 359 more yards than your opponent like the Blue Devils did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They beat the Syracuse Orange 38-24. RB Mataeo Durant had a stellar game for Duke as he rushed for two TDs and 163 yards on 23 carries. This was the first time Durant has racked up 100+ rushing yards all year. Durant's sharp performance also set his single-game rushing touchdown high for the season.

Special teams collected 12 points for Duke. K Charlie Ham delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.

Meanwhile, NC State had enough points to win and then some against the Virginia Cavaliers last week, taking their game 38-21. RB Zonovan Knight was the offensive standout of the matchup for NC State, rushing for two TDs and 101 yards on 18 carries.

The Wolfpack's defense was a presence as well, as it collected three interceptions and one fumble. Those interceptions were spread across their defensive unit.

The wins brought the Blue Devils up to 1-4 and NC State to 3-1. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Duke ranks sixth in the nation when it comes to sacks, with 12 on the season. The Wolfpack are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the game with nine sacks, good for 19th best in the nation. With that kind of ball pressure, don't be surprised if there are a lot of short passes in this one.
