In Rickie Collins’ first career start at quarterback, Syracuse never found its footing in a 38-3 loss to Duke on Saturday before a sellout crowd at the JMA Wireless Dome. Duke methodically extended its advantage with Sheppard’s second rushing score and a late 13-yard touchdown from Anderson Castle to cap the blowout. Just a few stragglers remaining from a sold-out crowd that saw Syracuse fall to Duke 38-3 and fail to score a touchdown. pic.twitter.com/aiGnUYkoNd — Ashley Wenskoski (@AshleyWenskTV) September 27, 2025Fran Brown begins his press conference by congratulating Duke, saying he was out-coached today, and apologizing to the Syracuse fanbase. pic.twitter.com/EZ4f8H7cv1 — Ashley Wenskoski (@AshleyWenskTV) September 27, 2025Get the latest headlines delivered to your inbox each morning.
