The Game Started Off with the Probability Defying Coin-Toss Loss by Tech

Tech was ambushed with two deep Duke passes in the 1st quarter. Malik Murphy was gifted with three blown coverages (two slip and fall grabs by the turf monster on Dante Lovett) and a complete miss on the third.

Duke scores 14 points in 4 plays. Meanwhile Tech’s offense couldn’t get out of its own way and even with a 1st down ended up with two 4 and outs and a three and out.
