Duke QB Riley Leonard asked his professor for a homework extension — only for the professor to call his bluff in an amazing video.
Leonard had an assignment due at midnight Monday, and after his 175-yard performance in Duke's win, he pleaded with his professor for an extension in a video posted to social media by the ACC.
Unfortunately for Leonard, the professor called his bluff in a response video that instantly went viral, pointing out that Leonard was not the only Duke football player in the class — and several of his teammates had worked ahead and completed the assignment before the game."Great game last night, man. It was so exciting. Congratulations to you and all your teammates," Don Taylor said.
Taylor, a professor in Duke's school of public policy, apparently was not about to set a double standard for Leonard. In response, has been hit with negative reviews defending Leonard and calling on Taylor to reverse the decision and give Leonard an extension. There were also some positive reviews defending him.The Duke football team, meanwhile, vaulted into the Top 25 of the latest AP poll, coming in at No. 21.
