Clemson loses to Duke for yet another home loss after a wild end to the game and a questionable pass interference call.

If Clemson loses to the Blue Devils, the Tigers are in danger of missing a bowl game for the first time since 2004. Clemson has never missed a bowl in its 18 seasons under Swinney, who said before the game his team "has had a great week" of practice and was anxious to play Duke.

The Clemson Tigers took another loss on Saturday, but one player is emerging who could be key to their future plans

Clemson lost to Duke at home for the first time since 1980 after a disputed penalty in the fourth quarter. Dabo Swinney reacted to the call

Dabo Swinney said Saturday he felt the late defensive pass interference penalty that led to Duke's 46-45 upset win over Clemson was one of the most egregious miscalls of his career.

In the last four decades, Duke has seen football success on occasion. Coaches Steve Spurrier and Fred Goldsmith enjoyed productive years; David Cutcliffe won 10 games and a division title; Mike Elko rode success with the Blue Devils to his current post at Texas A&M.

Duke's climactic first win at Clemson in 45 years featured four touchdown passes and 361 yards passing from Darian Mensah, who gave the Blue Devils the lead with a successful 2-point conversion with 40 seconds to play on a bootleg toss to Sahmir Hagans.
