"It was the best game that I've had a quarterback play," Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe said he told QB Thad Lewis.
The senior threw for career-highs of 459 yards and five touchdowns. He set Duke's career touchdown passing record and a single-game record with 40 completions. He also ran for a score as part of his gamelong torture of the Wolfpack's overmatched defense.
Yes, overmatched. The word usually applies to Duke when talking about football. Yet Lewis - a four-year starter who until now has seen his big passing days typically go for naught - was unstoppable as the Blue Devils (3-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped an 11-game losing streak against their instate rival and earned their first league road win in almost six years.
"He was really special," Cutcliffe said. "We handled their pressure, we handled their zone, and when you do that and your quarterback is as poised as Thad was tonight, good things happen.
"You know how they call that 'in the zone?' He was in the zone."
