It was almost scary when O’Hara missed his last field goal attempt with only a few minutes left in the football game when Louisville was up three. It would have been a huge swing of events for Duke who would have also had great field position. If Duke would have scored a touchdown, the game would have been over and Louisville’s season with it.
