Duke had one of the grittiest and toughest wins of the weekend. The Blue Devils never quit. After being up 21-7, Clemson fought back and answered with 21 points of their own in the second quarter. Then, in the final minutes of the game, the Blue Devils trail by seven, but Nat Sheppard finds the endzone on a 3-yard run with just 40 seconds remaining. Manny Diaz, understanding what is at stake, elects to go for two, and they get the conversion, giving Duke a huge 46-45 win over Clemson and keeping their ACC Title dreams alive.
Well, November is here, and Miami lost a game. Not many are shocked, as this has become an annual theme for the Hurricanes. Miami and its College Football Playoff chances are highly over after the loss to SMU in overtime, as Miami is now 2-2 in ACC games and 6-2 on the season. The Hurricanes couldn't afford to lose another game if they wanted a chance at the Playoffs, and it appears another November loss will ruin their dreams at the CFP.
