Duke secured a commanding 41-3 victory over NC State on Saturday, powered by a standout rushing performance and a spectacular special teams touchdown.
Running back Sheppard carried the offense with 217 yards on the ground, consistently breaking through the Wolfpack defense. Meanwhile, Pellicciotta electrified the crowd with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown — a rare "Kick Six" that swung momentum decisively in Duke's favor.
The Blue Devils' defense held NC State to just a field goal, completing a comprehensive win that showcased Duke's strength across all three phases of the game.
