Duke beats Virginia 20-13 on Sirk's jump-pass TD

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke took control of its divisional race -- and made itself bowl eligible once again -- by finding yet another way to beat the team it seemingly can't lose to. The Blue Devils beat Virginia for the sixth time in seven years on Saturday, topping the Cavaliers 20-13 after backup quarterback Thomas Sirk threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to David Reeves with 7:23 left. Anthony Boone was 22 of 37 for 176 yards with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Erich Schneider -- his seventh career TD pass against the Cavaliers, his most against any opponent. The victory made the Blue Devils (6-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) eligible for a bowl for the third straight year and gave them the upper hand in the Coastal Division. "It's a big ol' W," coach David Cutcliffe said. "A capital W." Matt Johns was 21 of 44 for a career-high 306 yards with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Khalek Shepherd .
