speaking of 82, the graphic at the end of the game said it was the most yards for a Duke offense since 1982.

Ah, the Ben Bennett days. Third and 25? Seemed Spurrier could come up with a successful play more often than not.

Spurrier was at Duke from fall ‘86 to fall ‘88 plus the bowl IIRC.

During those days, I wandered into a Duke-UNC game and was astounded by Duke's offense. UNC clearly had bigger, better personnel, but the offensive playcalling befuddled their defense...hadn't been on campus for a few years at that point, wasn't up on the coaching and such. Spurrier was remarkable at keeping a defense off balance.

Good effort today.. Pleased with the progress...

Spurrier was OC 1980 - 82.

He was the offensive coordinator. That was why he ended up as head coach.

Gotcha.

Great to finally win a game. Congrats to the team and coaches! Watching our offensive line block and pull and execute with cohesion was pure joy - unadulterated joy.

And thank you Conner Vernon!
