Connor Martin came on and missed a 44-yard field goal. Baylor forced a three-and-out but on the ensuing possession John Lovett caught a 12-yard pass for a first down but fumbled the ball. Duke took advantage with a 31-yard touchdown run on 3rd and 7. Not a good start for the Bears.

2nd Quarter

Good start to the quarter by the Bears as they drove down to the Duke 30 on a 21-yard pass to Jalen Hurd but Connor Martin had his field goal blocked. Duke got possession and rove down the field for another touchdown this one was a 28-yard pass to TJ Rahming. On the next drive Baylor got a costly holding penalty after converting on 3rd-down. They ended up punting and Duke drove down the field and added a field goal. On the next drive Quentin Harris throws a 66-yard touchdown pass. First Trestan Ebner drops a deep pass, then Pooh Stricklin wide open and a perfect pass by Charlie Brewer dropped. The drive stalls. Baylor forced a turnover on downs and then threw one pass before the quarter ended. Worst quarter of the year for Baylor.
