Chandler Rivers says he likes this pick-six against Florida State more than last year’s

Chandler Rivers has returned an interception for a touchdown against FSU twice in two years, but he quickly said Friday’s was his favorite

The Florida State sideline must have felt the worst déjà vu when [autotag]Chandler Rivers[/autotag] got the ball in his hands on Friday night.

One season after Duke’s star cornerback snagged a tipped pass for a 13-yard touchdown in Tallahassee, Rivers undercut an out route for another interception and easily covered the remaining 36 yards to the end zone for another score in the first quarter.

“My mind just went, like, blank,” Rivers said about Friday’s encoure after the game. “I honestly don’t really remember a lot from that moment, but it was still a pretty cool moment.”

When asked if he had a preference between his two touchdowns against the Seminoles, Rivers didn’t need to deliberate over the answer.

“I like this one more,” Rivers said. “I love this one more because last year, it was a tip, and I just caught the tip. This year, I actually caught the pick, so I like this one more.”

Rivers didn’t need to mention this last part, but his Friday interception helped Duke beat Florida State for the first time in school history, so maybe that plays into the favoritism as well.
