Duke fumbles away lead After leading early, the Blue Devils succumbed to the ’Noles By CRAIG SAPERSTEIN The Chronicle

PRATIK PATEL/THE CHRONICLE

REGGIE LOVE is unable to catch a pass from D. Bryant. Duke lost to Florida State Saturday.

For one quarter Saturday night, fantasy set in for the Duke football team. After quarterback D. Bryant connected on a 78-yard pass play to tailback Chris Douglas and the Blue Devil defense continually controlled the line of scrimmage, Duke entered the second quarter of play with a shocking 6-0 lead. But just as quickly as Duke’s fantasy had been summoned, it came to a crashing halt. Old problems that plagued the Blue Devils (0-1, 0-1 in the ACC) last season, like turnovers, dropped passes and the defense’s tendency to give up the big play, resurfaced after the contest’s first 15 min-

utes, leading to an all-too-fa-

miliar result—a 55-13 drubbing by Florida State (1-0,1-0) at Wallace Wade Stadium. After the contest, the Blue Devils were upbeat about their effort, especially about their first-quarter shutout of the vaunted Seminoles, but admitted that they still have a long way to go before they will be able to compete with the rest of the ACC. “In the first quarter, we were having a real good time out there. We were flying around out there, making some tackles and hitting some people,” said freshman linebacker Jim Scharrer. Scharrerrecorded eight tackles on the evening, second only to teammate Kenneth Stanford. “We just shot ourselves in

the foot one too many times,” he said. The first instance of Duke shooting itself in the foot came early in the second quarter, just after Florida State had completed its first scoring drive of the evening, which culminated in a 40-yard field goal by ’Noles’ placekicker

Xavier Beitia to cut Duke’s lead in half.

Moments later, after the Blue Devils were unable to convert on third down-and-12 from its own 25 yard line, freshman punter Trey McDonald fumbled a perfect snap, which Florida State’s Michael Boulware recovered at the Duke two yard line. Seminole running back William McCray rammed his See FSU in SPORTSWBIP on page 4
