    By not kicking the FG, they gave momentum to fsu..smh..now they must score a TD..the other way they would have only been down 1 and would only need FG to win..dumb decision by their coach

    The Duke QB can’t get a first down . Games over can’t deal with the fans and chant . Miami - Clemson time

    Yeah this game is over. Duke is done. Coaching mistake and bad luck and bad officiating. The trifecta of game failure.

    Leonard being ignored running wind sprints on the sideline. Classic.

    You just knew they'd squeak it out in the end. Again. Always scraping by.

    So annoying.

    At least the ACC refs are getting less obvious about protecting their last team unlike when they called penalties 17-0 on BC in the first three quarters. Now they just don’t call any holding on FSU and forget about calling the offensive lineman 15 yards downfield blocking. Please tell me we don’t have the ACC officials coming to the Swamp with. NC on the line for FSU..it’s going to be another Swindle..maybe worse if that’s possible

    Duke QB not even trying to convert that 4th. They've given up. Sad.

    Bout to be 20-38. Unreal. Duke had em on the ropes and gave it up.

    I know..but they gave the momentum to fsu when they failed to score any points down on the fsu 4 yard line...feel badly for their QB..

    FSU is a good team, but they have had a horseshoe up their backside for 2 years now. Last year LSU missing the XP to send it to OT, a four point win at Louisville, a 2 point win at NC State, Clemson missing the chip shot FG this year, BC missing the Xp which would have given them a shot to try a later point conversion to go to OT, and now tonight Duke was controlling the game about to go up 2 scores when a penalty play knocks out Duke’s QB and they fall apart.
    At some point reversion to the mean on good fortune has to come back to them.
