The Duke football team trailed Boston College 7-6 at halftime of last season’s football game. BC got the ball first after intermission but Duke forced a punt. The Blue Devils took over at their 8-yard line.
A very winnable game.
Two plays netted minus one yard. On third down Chase Brice hit Damond Philyaw-Johnson with a pass in the flat.
It wasn’t a bad idea. Philyaw-Johnson is very fast and if he could slip a tackle, he could run a long way.
But Boston College’s Josh Deberry was all over Philyaw-Johnson. As the two fell to the ground, Deberry wrestled the ball away from the Duke receiver.
