No. 9 Clemson, the preseason favorite in the ACC, stumbled in its season-opener, committing three turnovers in a 28-7 loss to unranked Duke.
That's because Duke thrice held up after Clemson had pushed inside the 10-yard line — even to the 1 on two of those possessions — to hold the Tigers scoreless. The Blue Devils blocked two field goals and twice forced fumbles in those critical near-the-goal-line moments. And they made Clemson work to move the chains instead of moving the ball in chunks under new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.
That gave Duke’s students — typically known for their rowdy"Cameron Crazies" fame in basketball — a monopoly to celebrate in an atmosphere growing ever more festive as the clock wound toward zero. Jordan Waters added a punctuating moment by breaking loose for a 36-yard scoring run with 3:15 left to turn the game into a romp. And it ended Duke’s 28-game losing streak to top-10 opponents, the last win coming — fittingly — against then-No. 7 Clemson in 1989.transferred to Oregon State, completed 27 of 43 passes for 209 yards while throwing one touchdown pass and one interception.
