On Saturday, the Duke Blue Devils had a massive ACC game on their hands. The Blue Devils were in a battle with No. 12-ranked Georgia Tech. This is a game that the Blue Devils wanted to win against their ACC rival. It was a game that a lot of people around college football had their eyes on.
These two teams came into this game at the top of the ACC standings. Both were undefeated in the ACC, and they both wanted to remain undefeated. Something was going to have to give in this matchup.
This is a test that Duke wanted. It does not surprise Duke head coach Manny Diaz that his team is playing good football and is winning games. These are the type of games that Diaz wants to be a part of. Going up against the best teams in the conference and battling it out.

"Being a UNC football fan: They fumble in the end zone costing them the game
Being a Duke football fan: They fumble on the one yard line and Georgia Tech scoops and scores
Literally my life has just been watching this for 29 years"
Absolutely painful drive for Duke. Knocking on the doorstep of the end zone, but coughs it up.

Results in a Georgia Tech scoop and score. Complete swing of emotions.

For whatever reason, Duke has a hard time turning production into points.

In the first half, they were way out gaining Georgia Tech, but were tied at the break.
That is coming back to bite them, and it’s caught them in the past this year a couple times already

Any hope of a Duke comeback is basically over. Missed field goal gives Georgia Tech the ball up 10 with less than 3 minutes to go.

I don't know how the Yellow Jackets keep doing this. They just find ways to win games. Brent Key does it again on the road.

Georgia Tech is going to survive Duke in somewhat of a fluke.

Duke put together a 96-yard drive, fumbled at the goal line and saw Georgia Tech run it all the way back the other way for a TD.
Then Duke short FG attempt: botched snap/hold.
Then Duke misses a 46-yard FG attempt.
