Duke vs. Clemson: Everything fans need to know before the Blue Devils' must-win matchup

Related Topics: Duke University, Clemson

Before its bye this past week, the Duke football program missed out on a marquee opportunity to pick up a quality win, falling to No. 8 Georgia Tech 27-18 at home. Now 4-3 overall and 3-1 in conference play, the Blue Devils enter a must-win situation in Death Valley against Clemson this weekend. Bringing the first ACC Championship to Durham since 1989 isn't completely out of the question just yet, but Duke will likely need to win out to give itself a shot at making the conference title game. Against a struggling Tigers team, this is the perfect chance for Manny Diaz and his squad to get some mojo back as the back half of the regular season gets going.
