It might be a Monday night, but that does not mean that there is not any mayhem occurring in the college football world. The 9th overall ranked team in the country, Clemson Tigers, have lost to an unranked Duke Blue Devils squad led by Riley Leonard, 28-7. This is possibly one of, if not the biggest win in Duke football history. Despite the Tigers having almost twice as many first downs, almost 10 more minutes in time of possession, and 20 more plays than the Blue Devils, they still have been defeated by an unranked Duke team.
Clemson may have lost this game because of silly mistakes, such as fumbling the ball twice inside the 10 yard line and Robert Gunn III missing two field goals. Duke’s Jordan Waters, a senior running back, put the icing on the cake with a little over three minutes remaining in the game with a 36 yard rushing touchdown.
For Clemson fans, is it time to worry?
