Daniel Jones threw for 423 yards and five touchdowns, T.J. Rahming caught 12 passes for 240 yards and two scores, and Duke blew past Temple 56-27 in the Independence Bowl on Thursday.
Duke (8-5) snapped a two-game losing streak by putting on an offensive show. The Blue Devils scored touchdowns on seven straight drives, flipping a 27-14 deficit in the second quarter to a 56-27 lead by midway through the fourth.
Jones’ five touchdown passes and 423 yards passing both set Independence Bowl records. So did Duke’s 56 points.
Coach David Cutcliffe won his fourth Independence Bowl. He led Ole Miss to victories in Shreveport in 1998, 1999 and 2002 and is already enshrined in the bowl’s Hall of Honor.
Temple (8-5) lost for just the second time in its past eight games.
Wisconsin 35, Miami, Fla. 3: Jonathan Taylor ran for 205 yards and a touchdown and topped the 2,000-yard season mark to help Wisconsin rout Miami 35-3 in a chilly Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
Taylor, just a sophomore, ripped off runs of 39 and 41 yards and was sensational at Yankee Stadium and combined with a defense that forced five turnovers to help a Wisconsin (8-5) team ranked fourth in the first AP Top 25 poll salvage its fifth straight bowl victory.
The loss had to seem like a rerun for Miami: Taylor ran for 130 yards in Wisconsin’s 34-24 win over the Hurricanes last season in the Orange Bowl.
“We’ve got the best back in the country,” Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said after he accepted the trophy from Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.
Clemson player can’t explain failed drug test:Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence says he has no idea what may have led to his failed NCAA test for performance-enhancing drugs and still holds out hope he will be able to play for the No. 2 Tigers against No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.
The 6-4, 350-pound Lawrence participated in Clemson’s College Football Playoff media day session Thursday even though he might not play Saturday. Lawrence is facing an NCAA suspension for the failed drug test. The school is hoping additional testing could clear him and Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said he expected to receive final word from the NCAA later Thursday.
Swinney announced earlier in the week the school had been notified by the NCAA about the failed tests by Lawrence, reserve offensive tackle Zach Giella and freshman tight end Braden Galloway. Swinney said the players were found to have trace amounts of a substance called ostarine, which can act like an anabolic steroid.
