The Duke Blue Devils were able to avoid the trap game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, winning 41-23.
However, the Yellow Jackets and Blue Devils did not make it easy on Duke fans on the opening drive.
Coming into the game Georgia Tech had not scored a single point in the first quarter and were only converting 30% of its third downs. Naturally, the Yellow Jackets converted both of their third down attempts on the opening drive, including a 19-yard touchdown pass.
Duke would score the next 38 points of the game, using an excellent combination of the running and passing game, taking a 38-14 lead into halftime.
