Duke beat Cal 45-21 despite being down 14-0 early. It is the 2nd ACC win this season where Duke was down 2 TD's and came back to win.

Duke dominated Syracuse 38-3. The game was never in question as Duke's defense got off the field on 3rd downs and forced turnovers as Duke's offense ran all over Syracuse.
