The embarrassing plummet of the Duke football program continued on opening night.

It was rock bottom after rock bottom last season for the Duke football program but now the Blue Devils have hit a new low.

The Charlotte 49ers never defeated a Power-5 program until last night when a touchdown with 34 seconds left put Duke in a 31-28 hole en route to its first loss of the season.

The Blue Devils were quickly in a 10-0 hole before rallying to take a 14-10 lead minutes before halftime.
