DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University used a balanced offensive attack to pile up more yards than any other North Carolina Central University opponent in school history, as the Blue Devils amassed 655 yards of total offense in a 55-0 shutout over the Eagles on Saturday night at the newly renovated Wallace Wade Stadium.
 
Duke (2-0) passed for 367 yards and added 288 yards on the ground to better the 644 yards posted by Appalachian State against the Eagles in 2009 (Oct. 10). NCCU (1-1) managed 186 total yards with 132 through the air.
 
The Blue Devils scored first with 2:49 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead after the first 15 minutes. Duke led 24-0 at halftime and 41-0 through three quarters.
 
NCCU junior quarterback Malcolm Bell completed half of his 24 passes for 127 yards. Junior Khalil Stinson had four catches for 54 yards, while freshman Jalen Wilkes tallied four receptions for 27 yards.
 
The NCCU defense, which stayed on the field for 34:11, was topped by junior linebacker Jordan Miles with a career-high 14 tackles.
 
NCCU leaves Durham for the first time this season next week when the Eagles fly to Miami to play FIU.
