Duke football vs Tulane delayed due to severe weather

On Saturday, Duke defeated Tulane 17-3 in a weather-delayed season opener at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, with severe storms forcing a 90-minute kickoff delay.
Tulane entered the matchup following an 11-3 campaign under new head coach Will Hall, who replaced Jon Sumrall after he departed for Florida, while Duke returned as reigning Atlantic Coast Conference champions.
Running back Nate Sheppard rushed for a career-best 227 yards and two touchdowns, powering Duke's ground attack while quarterback Walker Eget struggled to generate offense through the passing game.
The Green Wave offense sputtered to 54 yards rushing and committed 15 penalties for 104 yards, converting only 3 of 14 third downs while rotating quarterbacks Zeon Chriss-Gremillion and Kadin Semonza.
Tulane hosts South Alabama next Saturday while Duke travels to Illinois to face the Big Ten opponent, as both teams adjust strategies following the season-opening contest.
