The Duke Blue Devils football team secured consecutive victories in September 2026. On September 12, Duke defeated Illinois 31-27 in a road game. Despite a 10-point deficit in the second quarter, the team outscored Illinois 17-3 in the latter stages of the game. Nate Sheppard recorded 147 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Walker Eget completed 15 of 21 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. Following this, Duke opened their Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) season on September 18 with a 35-7 win against Stanford at Wallace Wade Stadium. Nate Sheppard again led the offense with 154 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The victory marked Duke’s fifth consecutive win in an ACC opener. By September 24, the Blue Devils held a 3-0 record as they prepared to face William & Mary in Durham, North Carolina. Sophomore running back Nate Sheppard has emerged as a central figure in the team’s offense, leading the nation in rushing with 528 yards and leading the country in rushing attempts. Averaging 6.4 yards per carry, Sheppard’s performance has prompted discussions regarding a potential Heisman Trophy candidacy.
