Big offensive plays by both teams defined Baylor’s 34-20 loss to Duke this afternoon at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C.
Every offensive touchdown was 34 yards or longer, including two 70+ yard touchdown receptions by junior wide receiver Chris Platt.
Platt’s 79-yard touchdown in the third quarter made it a 24-21 Duke lead, but the Duke defense turned it up a notch from that point on, forcing sophomore quarterback Zach Smith into two turnovers that ultimately put the game away.
Baylor’s defense played aggressive all game, recording five sacks, including two from senior defensive end Brian Nance.
