Following a second bye in three weeks, the Duke Blue Devils turned their attention to the Clemson Tigers in an intriguing ACC matchup. With a 4-3 overall record and 3-1 conference record, a loss would be detrimental to Duke's hopes of reaching the ACC Championship game.
Clemson loses to Duke for yet another home loss after a wild end to the game and a questionable pass interference call.
The Clemson Tigers host the South Carolina Upstate Spartans in the season opener. Monday's matchup is the first of the season between the squads.
In the last four decades, Duke has seen football success on occasion. Coaches Steve Spurrier and Fred Goldsmith enjoyed productive years; David Cutcliffe won 10 games and a division title; Mike Elko rode success with the Blue Devils to his current post at Texas A&M.
There are bad calls, and then there's calling pass interference on a play in which the receiver tackles the corner.
Duke's climactic first win at Clemson in 45 years featured four touchdown passes and 361 yards passing from Darian Mensah, who gave the Blue Devils the lead with a successful 2-point conversion with 40 seconds to play on a bootleg toss to Sahmir Hagans.
