DURHAM – Duke couldn't complete the full comeback Saturday afternoon, as it dropped a 23-20 overtime decision to Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The Blue Devils scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to turn a 20-6 deficit into a 20-20 tie with eight seconds remaining in the game. Six of those 14 points came from a Sahmir Hagans 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, Duke's first since Jamison Crowder did so against Arizona State in the 2014 Sun Bowl. In overtime, Duke held the Yellow Jackets to a 37-yard field goal but were unable to convert on its field goal attempt of 52 yards to force a second overtime.
