Duke defeated Tulane 17-3 following a 90-minute weather delay. Tulane head coach Will Hall cited 15 penalties, multiple fumbles, and dropped passes as primary factors in the loss. Hall noted that his team struggled with Duke's punting strategy and field position throughout the night. Zion, the starting quarterback, was replaced at halftime by Caden after Hall expressed concerns regarding his vision on the field. Although the defense settled in after an initial scoring drive by Duke, the offense failed to sustain drives due to critical execution errors.
