Filling the shoes of a former all-NEC quarterback is no easy task, but Buechel looked more than up to it during his Duquesne debut. The freshman’s precise passing sparked the Dukes to a convincing 35-34 victory over CAA member UAlbany. Buechel completed 21 of 28 attempts for 309 yards and two touchdowns. Both of the scoring strikes – 27-yarder to Sean Brady and a 29-yarder to Gianni Carter --came early in the third quarter and were separated by only one minute of elapsed game time.
