Duke's 1989 Upset: Brown's Historic Performance

On November seventh, Duke football aims to secure bowl eligibility, much like they did in 1989 against Wake Forest. Coach Steve Spurrier faced a tough decision at quarterback, ultimately choosing sophomore David Brown for his first career start. Brown delivered an incredible performance, throwing for four hundred forty-four yards and four touchdowns, including a ninety-seven-yard touchdown to Clarkston Hines, which remains the longest play from scrimmage in program history. Duke won the game fifty-two to thirty-five, scoring the most points since 1952. As they prepare for a crucial game this weekend, fans hope for a similar surge of success. DNN | The Daily News Now!
