Heisman Rankings: Kamario Taylor, Jeremiah Smith Top Robert Griffin III's List

Efficient 116 yards in easy win Sheppard compiled nine carries for 116 yards and one touchdown and gathered in their only target for eight yards during Saturday's 62-7 win against William & Mary.

Impact Sheppard racked up 124 yards and a score on just 10 touches, and then Duke decided to call it a day for its star halfback. Sheppard likely could've posted a much bigger stat-line if he remained in the game longer, but the Blue Devils had no need to risk injury to their star halfback. Up next for Sheppard is a road tilt with Georgia Tech in Week 6 following a Week 5 bye.

Continues early-season dominance Sheppard logged 23 rushes for 154 yards and two touchdowns and caught their only target for two yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-7 win over Stanford.

Impact Sheppard scored another three touchdowns Saturday as Duke cruised to an easy blowout win over Stanford to move to 3-0. The tailback's 23 carries and 156 total yards were both actually his lowest output yet this season, as the Blue Devils didn't need to run him into the ground during a dominating victory. Sheppard has another great matchup next week against FCS William & Mary.

Stays hot as Duke downs Illini Sheppard had 24 carries for 147 yards and one touchdown and caught 5 of 6 targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-27 victory over Illinois.

Impact Sheppard continued to dominate carries in Duke's backfield, and continued to make the most of them against a highly questionable Illinois defense. The second-year tailback notched three more touchdowns in Week 2 and has already hit paydirt five times in two weeks. Sheppard remains one of the top backs in the country, and Duke is using him accordingly.

Explodes vs. Green Wave Sheppard totaled 35 carries for 227 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in 3 of 4 targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 17-3 victory versus Tulane.

Impact We knew Sheppard was a talented back after he surpassed 1,400 total yards as a true freshman. But he had never put up a stat-line like this before, rushing for well over 227 yards on a workhorse-like 35 carries. Duke's new quarterback Walker Eget was just fine through the air; expect the Blue Devils to rely on their ground game -- and their budding superstar Sheppard -- heavily this fall.
