Duke's Sheppard Shines in ACC Win

Duke football secured their spot in the ACC Championship game with a victory over Wake Forest, thanks to a standout performance by freshman running back Nate Sheppard. Sheppard, from Mandeville, Louisiana, had a career-high 23 rushing attempts and 5 receptions for 60 yards, setting new season records for rushing yards and touchdowns. The game also marked a farewell for many senior players, including NFL draft prospect Chandler Rivers, who forced a fumble to prevent Wake Forest from closing the gap. Dukes perfect red zone conversion rate and three forced turnovers by the defense proved crucial in securing the victory. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
