Duke University’s football team dominated William & Mary with a 62-7 victory, thanks to five touchdown passes from quarterbacks Walker Eget and Dan Mahan. Despite a quieter game from star running back Nate Sheppard, who rushed for 116 yards, Duke extended its winning streak to eight games. Eget completed 16 of 22 passes for 182 yards, while Mahan, a second-year freshman, threw his first career touchdown passes. William & Mary struggled offensively, managing only 170 total yards and ending their streak of scoring at least 20 points in 13 consecutive games. Duke remains undefeated this season, showcasing a strong defense by holding three opponents to seven points or fewer. William & Mary will face Holy Cross next, while Duke prepares to play Georgia Tech.
