Any Duke football fans who have attended the past two games at Wallace Wade Stadium have been treated to two of the most impactful Blue Devils victories in school history.
Three weeks ago, Duke fell behind the North Carolina Tar Heels by 20 points before scoring three late touchdowns for the second-largest comeback in school history. Then, on Friday night, the Blue Devils defeated the Florida State Seminoles for the first time ever for their sixth win of the season, securing their third straight trip to a bowl game.
The vaunted Duke defense finished the evening with six sacks and 11 tackles for loss, holding the Seminoles offense to 291 yards of total offense and 4.96 yards per pass attempt. Linebacker Ozzie Nicholas created two turnovers, forcing a fumble and intercepting a pass on consecutive defensive plays, and Chandler Rivers scored a touchdown on an interception of his own.
