Duke contains Plumlee, beats UCF 30-13 in Military Bowl

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “From where this team was and this program was walking off the field at the end of the 2021 season, to walking off the field today as the 2022 Military Bowl champions.” The Blue Devils have won four consecutive bowl games, although this was their first appearance in one since 2018. “We just didn’t get it done offensively.” Moore opened the scoring with a 14-yard run, but Isaiah Bowser’s 1-yard touchdown rush for the Knights tied the game at 7. “You’ve got to score right there.” The Knights finally scored again on 2-yard run by Bowser with 9:03 remaining, but a trick play on a 2-point conversion failed badly. “They’re a really mature group, and I think they had their sights set on what they wanted to accomplish all year.” UP NEXT Duke: Elko and the Blue Devils clearly have a lot to build on.
