Shawn Moore goes all Shawn Moore (14-15 for 295
yards and three TDs passing, 38 yards and two TDs
rushing) on the eventual ACC "co-champion" Blue
Devils." (Years later, George Welsh responded to
Steve Spurrier's contention that Duke, not UVa, should
have received the ACC's berth in the 1989 Citrus Bowl
with the following: "One thing I could never understand
about Steve Spurrier, and you can quote me, we
scored touchdowns on seven straight possessions in
that game. And...it could've been worse. And then he
said, Well, we should have been champions, because
we beat the kings. They beat Clemson, and we didn't.
I'll tell you what. I might have been able to score 70 that
night if I wanted to." I friggin' loved George Welsh.)

Jake McInerney kicks a 37-yard field goal as time

because I was too hungover from the night before. I
suck.
