DURHAM, N.C. - As Duke prepares for the postseason, Blue Devil Network and GoDuke.com will count down the top plays from the first 12 games of the 2015 season. The site will feature one highlight per day with the top play revealed on Saturday, December 26 when the Blue Devils (7-5) participate in the program's fourth consecutive bowl game, meeting Indiana (6-6) in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.
Senior running back Shaquille Powell turned in his most outstanding performance of the year to check in at No. 7 thanks to his three-touchdown game against No. 20 Georgia Tech. Powell scored on runs of four, one and 30-yards to lift Duke to the 34-20 upset of the Yellow Jackets. With Duke clinging to a 26-20 advantage with under two minutes to play in the game, Powell took a fourth-and-one handoff from the Georgia Tech 30-yard line and cashed it in for a score to put the game out of reach.
Powell finished the regular season with a team second-best 534 yards on 122 carries. He was also a receiving threat out of the backfield, hauling in 32 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns.
