Duke, Clemson used to not meet except for every couple seasons because Duke was in the Coastal Division Clemson was in the Atlantic Division!

With the change in the collegiate landscape within collegiate athletics and there being no Coastal Division, Atlantic Division anymore Duke, Clemson are likely going to meet more often.

In that game then Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence who currently is the quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL was 21 for 38 for 251 yards and two touchdowns and No. 2 Clemson overcame a slow start to beat Duke 35-6 Clemson (11-0, 8-0) fell behind 6-0 early. Lawrence was 0 for 7 on third downs in the first half and the Travis Etienne ran for just 4 yards as the Tigers led 14-6 at the break.
