Duke football looks to extend winning streak behind Nate Sheppard

The Duke Blue Devils enter their next matchup against William & Mary with a 3-0 record following a 35-7 victory over Stanford. The team's offense has been driven by a dominant ground game led by sophomore running back Nate Sheppard.

Sheppard currently leads the nation in rushing with 528 yards and ranks fourth in rushing touchdowns with five. He is averaging 6.4 yards per carry and leads the country in rushing attempts. His performance has led to discussions regarding a potential Heisman Trophy candidacy.

Duke head coach Manny Diaz emphasized the need for the program to maintain its standards, while William & Mary coach Mike London aims to return his team to the form seen at the start of the season. The game will take place in Durham, North Carolina.
