With nine minutes left in the game, Duke had run 34 plays and had amassed, if that’s the word, 45 yards. That’s an average of 1.3 yards per snap, which means you could have granted the Devils seven downs and it still would’ve been eighth-and-1. The offense prepped by David Cutcliffe, the man who tutored every Manning except Archie, mustered four first downs in 51 minutes.

And even that miserly yield, you should know, didn’t satisfy the ravenous Jackets. “We’ll have to work on that,” linebacker Sedric Griffin said. “We want no first downs.”

Duke would finish with 132 yards, the third-lowest output by any ACC opponent against Tech. (It would also finish with nine whole first downs, sending Griffin into a state of deep depression.) On a day when Johnson’s option-based spread was slow to score — it was still 3-0 with 11 minutes gone in the third quarter — the defense made scoring almost superfluous.
