Duke uses trick-play TD pass from Nate Sheppard to pull out 19-16 victory over Virginia

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- , Duke running back Nate Sheppard threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Brody Keefe with 1:14 left to give the Blue Devils a 19-16 win over Virginia on Friday night at Scott Stadium, snapping a two-game losing streak. “Where the last two weeks, these last four minutes have gone against us, tonight, our guys found a way to finish,” Duke coach Manny Diaz said. “Great to finish. We needed this.” Virginia went ahead 16-13 on a 30-yard field goal by Will Bettridge with three minutes left in the game, but a defense that controlled much of the game got caught by surprise when it mattered most. “I feel like we played great until that last snap when we gave up that busted play,” UVA linebacker Kam Robinson said. “We really wasn’t even expecting that. I just thought, they just had run that same play to the field.
