During Duke’s tremendously satisfying win over NC State Saturday, we saw Nate Sheppard’s 69-yard touchdown, and thought, well, that’ll work for Sunday’s Twitter Gold. The man is on a huge roll, after all, having scored eight touchdowns in the last two games. And on that run, Sheppard blew past State’s defenders like he had jet engines in his uni. It was spectacular.
And then we saw what Andrew Pellicciotta did.
With :02 left in the first half, NC State went for a field goal, which came up short.
Pellicciotta
got the ball deep in the end zone and took off. He weaved through NC State defenders until he cut back one last time, heading toward the middle of the field. Teammate Owen Wafle, a defensive tackle, was slightly in the way, so Pellicciotta just nudged him out of the way and continued on his way to the end zone.
Quite a day. Pellicciotta had one of the best plays at least in recent Duke Football history, and Sheppard is on his way to one of the most brilliant careers in the history of the program.
