Duke was in the midst of an extremely disappointing second half of the season after a hot start, but the Blue Devils were able to hold off late-charging Wake Forest 27-21 to end the regular season on a positive note.
What the win means for Duke: The Blue Devils were in desperate need of a win after a complete meltdown over the last four games. Once 6-1 and ranked, the wild loss to Miami sent Duke into a tailspin that it was unable to break out of until the finale. The offense was inconsistent and struggled all season, which again was the case Saturday as it stalled in the second half.
