Duke Sussex Carolina kickoff call shocks Duke sidelines
Durham reporters recount a controversial free ball penalty on a Duke kickoff against South Carolina. Duke gained possession on its own 42 after a South Carolina tackle on kicker Mike Curtis, a ruling Marvin Bass called unprecedented. Duke coach Murray said he had seen the penalty before but never on kickoff, while South Carolina players and reporters noted the odd, game-altering call as Duke rallied to win 11-7 despite Carolina’s fumbles and erratic passing.
