I mean, this is the first game of the season. You're thinking in blinders - you believe Clemson is good and Duke has to be bad or we lose somehow. That might be right, but that looked like a bad Clemson team with a real good chance of going 3-6 in the ACC. Duke plays FSU and Notre Dame, plus UNC. You're crowning them as taking something from Wake - our losing to a #1 Clemson team in the past is not the same thing as what happened tonight, potentially. Beat FSU later in the year, or UNC if they're undefeated in conference. Then they've taken a real step. This is just playing a meh game against a team that threw up all over themselves. It opens up all kinds of scenarios for Wake, end of story. After one conference game that is what matters.
Well, that and Clemson voting to tank the ACC then getting punked by Duke of all teams in a choke-fest. That is enjoyable. At the hands of a Wake coach no less...
