Issac Blakeney had two of those touchdown receptions among his five catches for 57 yards, while Jamison Crowder had 10 catches for 88 yards. Duke (4-2) won the yardage battle, 435-319, thanks to a 301-89 advantage through the air.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Blue Devils took advantage of a missed field goal by Navy's Nick Sloan, driving for the opening score when Boone found Blakeney from 27 yards out. The Midshipmen responded with a drive that was capped by Darius Staten's 7-yard scoring scamper, but Duke took the lead for good with 4:35 to play before halftime on Boone's 3-yard touchdown pass to Max McCaffrey.

The Blue Devils got some breathing room midway through the third quarter when Boone found Blakeney again, this time from 18 yards out, for a 21-7 advantage. Scoring runs by Jela Duncan and Shaquille Powell helped Duke cruise from there.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Navy didn't allow a score in the first quarter for the fourth time this season, as the Midshipmen have allowed only three points in the opening quarter all season. … Boone had been out since breaking his right collarbone Sept. 7 at Memphis and was a game-time decision prior to this contest. … Duke has now won three straight against Navy, though the Midshipmen still lead the overall series 20-15-5.
