Cutcliffe, who has coached in 22 bowl games in his career, is 4-1 (.800) in bowl games as a head coach.

This season, Duke has put together fourth-quarter victories against Wake Forest (34-27) and North Carolina (33-30). Against Wake Forest, Duke entered the fourth quarter tied 20-20 before backup QB Anthony Boone engineered two TD drives in the eventual 34-27 win. Against North Carolina, Duke trailed 30-26 with 3:12 remaining before QB Sean Renfree led an 87-yard touchdown drive that culminated in a fi veyard touchdown pass from Renfree to WR Jamison Crowder on 4th-and-2 with 13 seconds remaining.
