Duke Insider: First ACC loss humbling one for Duke

The margin of error is so small for the Blue Devils, and they received a reminder of that in losing 41-16 to visiting Florida State.

Gone is a three-game winning streak as Duke suffered its first loss in the Atlantic Coast Conference this year. The Blue Devils hadn't lost in more than a month, but they were denied their first four-game winning streak since 1994.  

"Everybody knows we didn't play to the best of our ability so that doesn't need to be said," Duke cornerback Zach Greene said. "If we don't play to the best of our ability, chances are we're going to get beat."

The Blue Devils faced a deficit of 24-3 less than 1 1/2 minutes into the second quarter.

"The game just jumped out of your hands quickly," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.

Duke has never defeated Florida State in 17 all-time meetings. The margin might have been more severe if the Blue Devils hadn't racked up two touchdowns within a two-minute span early in the fourth quarter.
