Finish, finish, finish. Virginia gained more yards and created more scoring opportunities. But Duke scored two touchdowns and kicked two field goals in four opportunities, and Virginia scored one TD, settled for three field goals (missing one), and punted. Duke won. Success rates, etc., were almost exactly even, but only one team finished.

Side note, based on a radio conversation I had yesterday: Hey Florida, just hire David Cutcliffe. You're welcome.
