Fumble return and late offense lead No. 12 Georgia Tech past Duke 27-18

DURHAM, N.C. -- , Omar Daniels returned a fumble a school-record 95 yards for a touchdown and No. 12 Georgia Tech pieced together enough late-game offense to beat Duke 27-18 on Saturday and continue its best start to a season in more than a half-century. Haynes King threw for 205 yards and rushed for 120 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run with 2:10 left. Georgia Tech (7-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won its first seven games for the first time since 1966. The last time the Yellow Jackets started 4-0 in ACC play came 27 years ago. “Nobody really panics,” King said. “Toward the end of the game, everybody almost kind of has that same goal, that same mentality that we’re going to will ourselves to win.” Duke (4-3, 3-1), bidding to hold first place midway through its conference schedule, had its three-game winning streak ended.
