Led by Walter Camp Foundation National Player of the Week Kelby Brown (Matthews, N.C.), Duke\u2019s defense held the Hokies to a season-low matching 10 points while shutting out Virginia Tech in the first half. Duke has earned FWAA National Team of the Week honors in back-to-back seasons, having received the award after defeating North Carolina 33-30 on Oct. 20, 2012. The Blue Devils also received<br \/>\nthe inaugural National Team of the Week award on Aug. 31, 2002.<br \/>\n<em>&#8212;Art Chase, Duke Sports Information<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since returning from a foot injury that caused him to miss the Virginia Tech game, QB Bryn Renner (West Spring-field, Va.) has completed 46 of 57 pass attempts (.807) for 524 yards and three touchdowns in games against Miami and Boston College, a pass efficiency rating of 171.78. Renner needs 32 passing yards to move past Georgia Tech\u2019s Reggie Ball and into 20th place in the ACC career passing chart. Renner is one of three quarterbacks in school history with 8,000 career passing yards (8,097). He needs just 17 attempts to reach 1,000 for his career.<br \/>\n<em>&#8212;Kevin Best, North Carolina Media Relations<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the Davis household in Raleigh, some colors that usually don\u2019t seem to go well together are blending just fine. Pete and Debbie Davis certainly have a lot of red in their wardrobes, as their youngest son, Drew, is a redshirt freshman defensive end at NC State and they are always in the stands to cheer him on. Their middle child is a<br \/>\nbasketball player, and when they go to his games, they have to wear that shade of blue that\u2019s not too popular among State fans. Luke Davis is a junior point guard for the UNC Tar Heels who played in 20 games last season. Davis\u2019 oldest brother also attends UNC, as did his grandfather. Drew grew up pulling for the Tar Heels. Although his allegiance has obviously been reversed, he attends his brother\u2019s games at the Dean Smith Center frequently, which he says is \u201cpretty awkward.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211;<em>&#8211;Annabelle Myers, NC State Sports Information<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the strength of its 13-10 win over No. 16 Virginia Tech \u2013 Duke\u2019s first road triumph over a ranked foe since 1971 \u2013 the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,79,81,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-duke-blue-devils","category-featured-stories","category-n-c-state-wolfpack","category-north-carolina-tar-heels","wpcat-82-id","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-81-id","wpcat-80-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6267"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6269,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6267\/revisions\/6269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
