CLEMSON — Duke beat Clemson for the first time since 1980 at Memorial Stadium when Darian Mensah converted a two-point pass to Shamir Hagans to complete a 46-45 victory.
The Hagans’ conversion came with 40 seconds to play following a 3-yard TD run by Nate Sheppard.
The Blue Devils’ win did not come without controversy. It appeared the Tigers had the game won with 43 seconds to play, but the back judge called Avieon Terrell for pass interference while covering Duke’s Que’Sean Brown on a fourth down and 10 play from the Clemson 18.
Williams has big day
