Diaz and Jonathan Patke’s defense made a stop to save the day. It looked different in various games, but for a defense which is often worn down to come out and perform six times, the late-game execution has been immaculate.

Following a wild Hail Mary finish, Duke football takes down Wake Forest in walk-off fashion during their hotly contested Week 14 battle.

Maalik Murphy threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Moore as time expired and Duke beat Wake Forest 23-17 to end the regular season with three consecutive victories.

After 11 games of the Deacs not being able to get out of their own way and making often comical mistakes at crucial times, Wake Forest had one more in them. The result: inexplicably allowing Duke to connect on a 39-yard touchdown pass on the final play of the game to lose their 8th game of the season.
