FWIW, this past week, I stumbled upon a replay the end of last Saturday's Duke/GT game. Man, Duke completely pissed that game away.
Duke kicked a FG with 5 minutes left to take 27-24 lead. Duke then stuffed GT and got a quick 3 and out (GT's 3rd straight 3 and out of the 4th quarter), and Duke had the ball with 3 minutes to go and the lead. Duke ran for a first down, forcing GT to burn all of their timeouts, before Duke punted the ball back to GT. The Duke punt pinned the Jackets on their on 12 (with no TOs) and 1:42 to go. On GT's first play from the 12, Duke forced a GT fumble, and there were 3 Devil defenders hovering around the loose ball which managed to meander out of bounds, allowing GT to maintain possession (a Duke recovery would've ended the game). GT looked completely lost at that point. Somehow, two plays later, GT's Jeff Sims, who is far from accurate completed a deep pass to midfield. Two plays after that, Sims threw a 36 yard post pass for a TD. Duke went from a lock to win to trailing in 30 seconds. Gunnar Holmburg, such a douchey Duke name, then threw a pick to end the game. Cutcliffe had that verging on dementia glazed look in his eyes as he couldn't process what had just happened. BTW, Duke's "crowd" at that game made Groves look like the Big House for tOSU/Michigan. No way there was more than 2,000 people in the stands in the 4th quarter. Coach K taking a dump draws more Dookies, than a competitive 4th quarter football game.
