Clemson (3-5, 2-4 ACC) racked up 560 yards of total offense but allowed a touchdown and two-point conversion with 40 seconds to play in a 46-45 loss to Duke (5-3, 4-1 ACC) at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
It marked Duke’s first win at Clemson since 1980, and 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.
Instead of a Clemson victory, Duke scored one play later, then added a two-point conversion for the one-point win.
