- 0:00The broadcast sets up Manny Diaz's Duke against Mario Cristobal's Miami at Hard Rock Stadium.
- 6:40Mark Fletcher Jr. runs through the middle for a Miami touchdown.
- 7:54Nate Sheppard breaks through a cutback lane for a long Duke touchdown.
- 14:09Javian Mallory turns Darian Mensah's screen pass into a weaving touchdown run.
- 18:55The fourth-quarter interception and ensuing Miami scoring sequence begin here.
Nate Sheppard finds the cutback lane and accelerates away from Miami's defense. Duke has an answer, but Javian Mallory keeps supplying replies of his own in the Hurricanes' 36-25 win.
The highlights have drawn more than 300,000 views in seven hours on ESPN College Football, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular video. This isn't just a busy comments section about the winning team: viewers repeatedly single out Sheppard's running and receiving, with several looking ahead to his NFL prospects.
His long touchdown run is one of the standout sequences. Another belongs to Mallory, who takes a screen pass from Darian Mensah and weaves through defenders for a touchdown. Mallory finishes with three scores, while an interception by Miami's Xavier Lucas supplies a consequential fourth-quarter change of possession.
There is a familiar face on Duke's sideline, too. Manny Diaz, Miami's head coach from 2019 through 2021, is coaching the Blue Devils against his former team. Some Miami supporters in the comments pause to credit the work he's doing at Duke; others debate whether the Hurricanes' defense looks strong enough for their championship ambitions.
Miami-Duke isn't the channel's only fast-starting game package. Colorado's win over Houston, Alabama's victory against Vanderbilt and Florida State's win at Pitt are also drawing unusually large audiences. ESPN describes Colorado's result as the biggest win of Deion Sanders' tenure, adding another substantial talking point to its Saturday highlights.
