UCF Knights Game Notes
John Rhys Plumlee completed 21 of 39 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown and rushed nine times for negative seven yards in Saturday's 45-28 loss at Tulane. Plumlee struggled versus the Green Wave defense Saturday, as he finished with negative rushing yards for the first time this season. He was not at his best through the air either, despite attempting his most passes (39) of the season. The senior completed just over 50 percent of his passes and had only one touchdown involvement for the fourth time in the past six games. Plumlee has been boom or bust all season, and should be treated as such in the Knights' eventual bowl game.
Duke Blue Devils Game Notes
Jaquez Moore rushed six times for 62 yards and caught one of three targets for one yard during Duke's regular season finale against Wake Forest.Moore was deemed questionable for the contest due to an undisclosed injury, which sidelind him for the team's previous game, but he ultimately suited up and garnered a decent role in the rushing game. The 5-foot-10 running back should once again be featured during Duke's bowl game against Central Florida on Dec. 28.
