Notes: Clemson 49, Duke 20

QB Zack Asack established career single-game highs for pass attempts (43), completions (26) and passing yards (328) ... Asack's 328 yards mark the 37th highest single-game total in Duke history and rank as the second most passing yards in a game by a Duke true freshman, trailing only Ben Bennett's total of 469 yards versus Wake Forest on November 8, 1980 ... Asack's 66-yard pass to Eron Riley marked Duke's longest pass play since D. Bryant hooked up with Ben Erdeljac for a 70-yard completion against Clemson on December 1, 2001 ... Asack finished the day with 355 yards of total offense thanks to 27 rushing yards on 10 carries
WR Eron Riley finished the day with four catches for 130 yards, setting career single-game highs in both categories ... The 130-yard effort marks the second highest single-game total by a Duke true freshman, behind only Walter Jones' 139-yard performance against The Citadel and 1988 ... Riley's 66-yard touchdown reception in the third period marks his team-leading second TD of the season and second in the last two weeks ... He becomes the first Blue Devil wide receiver to have 100 or more receiving yards in a game since Khary Sharpe had 122 yards against Clemson on November 2, 2002 ... Against Clemson, Riley recorded catches covering 32, 7, 25 and 66 yards to average 32.5 yards per reception ... For the season, Riley now has nine receptions for 234 yards and a 26.0 yards per catch average
TE Ben Patrick set career single-game bests for pass receptions (10) and receiving yards (100) ... Patrick becomes the first Duke tight end to record 10+ catches and 100+ yards in a game since Mike Hart's 10-reception, 165-yard performance versus N.C. State on November 3, 2001 ... Patrick leads Duke with 28 catches on the year, and now has career totals of 77 receptions for 761 yards
TB Justin Boyle scored his team-leading eighth touchdown of the year on a one-yard run in the third quarter ... Boyle's eight rushing touchdowns in 2005 are the most by a Duke running back since Laymarr Marshall found the end zone 13 times on the ground during the 1995 campaign ... In addition, Boyle has moved into a tie for ninth place on Duke's single-season chart for rushing touchdowns, with the Blue Devil standard of 14 held by Winston Siegfried in 1941
LB Michael Brown was credited with six tackles on the day ... Brown entered the game with a team-leading 69 tackles on the year -- a total that led all freshman linebackers nationwide entering this week's games
K Joe Surgan booted a career-long 49 yard field goal in the fourth period ... Surgan also had a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter
