It’s Kickoff time for the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game. If you can’t get to Charlotte, option 2 has to be Buffalo Wild Wings!

Wasn’t sure I would live long enough for a Duke – UVA Championship game in Foosball!!!!

6:16 – Local Time, Duke receives the kick!

Move the Chains ⛓, ⛓ again….

Here for the duration so feel free to check ✔ back or ignore…

9:38 minutes of the Clock ⏰ gone and loved the 4th down call ! Duke, 7-0.

After the way UVA manhandled Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 last month, that drive was doubly important.

UVA – picks up two first downs, avoided a turnover because of a defensive penalty and then missed a long Field Goal.

Speaking of turnovers, Hoos have a very short field after an interception.

End of the 1st quarter…..

Cavs finished off 23 yard drive 🚗 for TD, tied at 7-7.

Duke goes 3 & out, will punt on 4th and 2 ????Not our Mad Manny!!

3/3 on 4th Down !!

6:14(2) – Duke TD, after not one but two gutsy 4th down calls !!

2:55 (2) – Holding call leads to a Hoos punt. Duke with one more 1st half possession.

2:00 Warning ⚠️ 2 &7+ for Duke

Hoos force a 3 and out and used all 3 TO’s. UVA ball with 1:45 to play in the first half.

Solid defensive stand by the Blue Devils to create a 4th and 5… Punt into the endzone. 0:53 (2)

Duke will end the half by punting with a tick of two left. HALF

6:08 pm – 2nd half kickoff

What a conversion on 2 & 22 for Hoos

Goal Line stand limits the long drive to a short field goal. 7:14 (3), drive 🚗 took over half the quarter.

4th and short for Duke in the Red Zone, 3 points or gamble 🎰 a fourth time ???

3:53 (3) – Duke Field Goal, 17-10

8:43 PM – End of 3rd quarter….

14:24 – Hoos turn it over on downs. Fourth Down has been magic for Duke.

Duke reduced the clock ⏰ to 8:47 and pin 📌 UVA at the 1 yard line.

7:21 (4) – 3rd down interception for Duke!

5:05 – Duke FG 23 yard FG, 10 point lead with 5:02 remaining!!

3:54 – Hoos hit a 42 yard Field Goal, now the question is onside kick or play it straight ???

Clutch 3rd down conversion !!!!

Hoos on their own 4 with 1:44 and two Timeouts

We are going to have a Barn Burner finish !

10 plays, 96 yards, Wow 👏…

OT – 0:22 left

OVERTIME :

Duke scores on 4th and Goal, 27-20
