Fired-up North Carolina, which had won only one other game all season, scored in the fading minutes to beat the Blue Devils 7-8. And, two weeks later UCLA ripped Duke 27-6 in a nationally-televised game. Michigan belted the Blue Devils earlier in the season 31-6 but with early impressive triumphs over South Carolina and Maryland, Duke finished with a 7-3 season record. Murray, a fundamentalist who prefers solid, conservative football and delights in goal line stands as much as long runs, put some innovations into the Duke attack this year.

One thing Duke is sure of it has the ingredients for a comeback. Ask Navy, a team that built a 10-0 halftime lead against the Blue Devils but was beaten 19-10.

In the Navy game, Murray simply told his squad at halftime that he knew it was a good football team, but it hadn't played like it That ignited the Blue Devils fuse. The result as one of the biggest upsets of the 19fiO season. The Navy victory, combined with triumphs over N.C. State. Clemson and Georgia Tech on successive Saturdays paved the way to the Jan.
