- Game captains for the Blue Devils were senior DT Casey Camero, senior NG Eli Nichols and senior CB John Talley
- Boston College won the opening coin toss and elected to defer its decision until the second half ... Duke then chose to receive the football and defend the North goal
- Duke opened the game with a four-wide receiver set for the first time in 2006 ... WRs Raphael Chestnut, Marcus Jones, Eron Riley and Jomar Wright joined QB Thaddeus Lewis and RB Justin Boyle in the starting lineup
- Senior CB John Talley registered his ACC-leading sixth interception of the season and the 17th pick of his career ... Talley is now Duke's all-time leader by himself, outdistancing Rich Searl, who had 16 interceptions from 1969-71 ... Talley moves into a tie for second place on the ACC's all-time chart matching the 17 interceptions by Tom Brown of Maryland, Ronnie Burgess of Wake Forest, A.J. Greene of Wake Forest, Terry Kinard of Clemson and Keith McMeans of Virginia ... North Carolina's Dre Bly is the league's career leader with 20 interceptions
- Sophomore WR Jabari Marshall recorded a 20-yard run on Duke's opening drive and added a career-long 22-yard scamper on the third offensive series
- Sophomore LB Michael Tauiliili caused and recovered a fumble in the second quarter ... With Boston College facing a third and one at the Duke 17 yard line, the Eagles gave the handoff to Brian Toal who was separated from the football by Tauiliili, who then fell on the loose ball ... Tauiliili carded eight tackles on the game
- Sophomore RB Clifford Harris recorded a career-long 52 yard run in the second quarter ... On the same drive, Harris scored the first touchdown of his career with a one-yard plunge over the right side ... Harris finished the night with a career-high 59 yards on six carries
- Senior LB Jeramy Edwards recorded 10 tackles on the night, giving him four straight games with double figures in the tackle column ... He now has five double figure tackle games this season and six in his career
- Junior DE Patrick Bailey had a season-high 10 tackles on the night, including a pair of tackles for loss
- Sophomore RB Re'quan Boyette caught a season-high four passes for 30 yards on the night ... Boyette added 38 rushing yards on eight attempts
- Senior DT Casey Camero made his team-leading 35th start tonight
- Tonight's meeting marked just the fourth on the gridiron between Duke and Boston College ... The two teams met previously in 1927 (Duke, 25-9), 1928 (Boston College, 19-0) and 1929 (Boston College, 20-12)
- Duke and Boston College will not meet again until 2010 when the Eagles visit Durham ... The two teams will then meet in 2011 (Chestnut Hill) and 2015 (Durham)
