Duke enters his senior season as the premier pass-rusher in the Big East conference.  He and Dwight Freeney rate as the top defensive end-duo in the conference.

10/7 Pittsburgh Update:

Duke finally registered his first sack of the season against Pittsburgh.  And it was only one of the several times he was in the backfield of the Panthers as Duke registered his first impact game of his senior season just when Syracuse needed him to do so.

11/11 Temple Update:

Duke kept his streak alive with 1.5 sacks against Temple, pushing his season total to seven and his career total to 24, putting him second all-time in Syracuse history behind Tim Green.
