Duke made the preseason ACC favorite look very ordinary en route to beating Clemson for the first time since 2004.
Duke's Jordan Waters and Riley Leonard celebrate after a touchdown late in the second half against Clemson on Monday, Sept. 4, 2023, in Durham, N.C.
Jaquez Moore added a 9-yard scoring run by beating multiple defenders to the near pylon in the fourth quarter for the Blue Devils, giving them an unexpected two-touchdown lead in a game they largely controlled in spite of numerous miscues.Duke held up three times after Clemson pushed inside the 10-yard line — to the 1 on two of those possessions — to hold the Tigers scoreless. The Blue Devils blocked two field goals and twice forced fumbles in those critical goal-line moments.
That gave Duke’s students — typically known for their rowdy “Cameron Crazies” fame in basketball — a monopoly to celebrate in an atmosphere growing ever more festive as the clock wound toward zero. Jordan Waters punctuated the win by breaking loose for a 36-yard scoring run with 3:15 left to turn the game into a romp. It ended Duke’s 28-game losing streak to top-10 opponents, the last win coming against then-No. 7 Clemson in 1989.
