Known football school, the Duke Blue Devils pulled off an “easy” upset of the No. 9 team in the country on Monday night, beating the Clemson Tigers 28-7 at home to start their season 1-0. 

Duke terrorized the Clemson Tigers throughout the game, blocking two field goal attempts and forcing two fumbles inside their own 10-yard line in the second half.

Of course, when you’re a school that hasn’t had a win against an AP Top-10 opponent since 1989, Duke fans immediately stormed the field following the win.
