Duke Stung Late By Yellow Jackets, Falls 31-27

When Steve Logan was on WRAL, he used to say that fans would see a field goal and think: great! Three more points! But a coach would see a field goal and see four left behind.

And those four left behind put Duke in a bad spot Saturday.

After Charlie Ham hit a late field goal to put Duke up 27-24, Georgia Tech struck with :51 seconds left on the clock to go up 31-27.

It was the second time this season that the defense couldn’t contain an opponent at the end of the game and, really, Duke is two plays from being 5-1 and nearly bowl-eligible.
