COASTAL DIVISION CHAMPIONS: Duke football tops UNC 27-25

"My time at Tennessee was building from the ground up. But this, no offense to anybody else, this just feels special," Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. "This is better. This is different. I know exactly where we were when we came here. I know where we were when we worked out in January 2008. I have a very vivid picture what that workout looked like and to coach the division champions today is pretty special."

"I mean [Williams] kinda just threw a little duck, simply to me," Edwards said. "I knew I just had to catch it as I was patient and I just let it come down to me. I just fell because I knew the game was over."

Although Crowder caught two touchdowns on the afternoon—including an acrobatic tip-toe in catch for his second score—Boone favored his possession receivers in big spots. Brandon Braxton and Braxton Deaver, Boone's roommates, were also their quarterback's favorite targets on the afternoon, combining for 135 yards on 12 receptions. Nine of those connections converted first downs for the Blue Devils.
