His favorite target has been Xavier Restrepo, who has 43 receptions for 710 yards and six of his 24 touchdowns.
The Blue Devils head into this week with two conference losses under their belt this season. They are 6-2 overall and 2-2 against conference teams. They opened up ACC play with a 21-point comeback win over North Carolina before losing on the road to Georgia Tech. They went back home and beat Florida State, 23-16, before losing last week to SMU at home, 28-27 in overtime.
