By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

Duke holds a 14-7 lead over Baylor at halftime at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C.

The Bears’ (0-2) defense has been aggressive, forcing the Blue Devils (2-0) into two turnovers to keep the game close despite a rough offensive performance where it has only produced 130 total yards.

Freshman defensive lineman Deonte Williams recovered a fumble by Duke senior running back Shaun Wilson at the 39-yard line just 18 seconds into the game to record Baylor’s first forced turnover on the season.

On the second offensive play for the Bears, sophomore quarterback Zach Smith connected with sophomore wide receiver Denzel Mims on a 44-yard touchdown to give Baylor a 7-0 lead.
