Episode Description

The Duke Blue Devils fell to the North Carolina Tar Heels in double overtime this past weekend, 47-45. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team able to gain a significant advantage. In the first overtime, both teams kicked field goals. In the second overtime, Maye scored and gave the Tar Heels the lead with a 5-yard touchdown run, and the Tar Heels were able to convert the two-point try. Duke had a chance to tie the game, but Freshman quarterback Grayson Loftis couldn't convert on a two-point conversion to receiver Jalon Calhoun. Tim Donnelly explains the loss from the Blue Devils' perspective. 

Also, the next step in Mike Elko's journey is whether he'll remain Duke's head coach next season. Over the weekend, Jimbo Fisher was fired by Texas A&M and was given a buyout worth $77 million. Elko was a former assistant to Fisher, and many would say he's already overachieved as the head coach at Duke. Tim Donnelly explains the impact on the ACC of Fisher's firing.
