Riley Leonard, Duke shock No. 9 Clemson and Dabo Swinney: ‘He’s why we are in this position’

“I think this is Duke football,” Elko said amidst the chaos. “We got the best of both worlds. A chance to compete and do amazing things on and off the field. This is what I envisioned Duke could be when I took this job.”

That’s because Duke thrice held up after Clemson had pushed inside the 10-yard line — even 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 near-the-goal-line moments. And they made Clemson work to move the chains instead of moving the ball in chunks under new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.
