Blue Devil Rewind: Fifty-Three Yarder for the Win

This series will take an inside look at top moments in Duke football history and are not meant to be a complete listing of all memorable accomplishments, but a sampling of great moments as determined by the GoDuke.com staff.

The Duke Blue Devils had just one win to their name heading into the final two contests of the 2004 regular season. The Blue Devils were first set to welcome a 5-4 Clemson squad that brought a four-game winning streak to Wallace Wade Stadium that November 13th afternoon.

By the time the contest was over, however, Duke had ended Clemson's winning trend and kicker Matt Brooks was hoisted on his teammates' shoulders after his 53-yard game-winning field goal as time expired lifted the Blue Devils to an exhilarating 16-13 win.
