1938 Duke (and Southern California)

Any stake Duke had on the national championship vanished with its 7-3 loss to Southern California. The Trojans scored in the final minute when substitute quarterback Doyle Nave completed the last of four straight passes to “Antelope” Al Krueger. The touchdown was the only points scored against Duke all season.

Instead, only Tennessee and Texas Christian were able to claim the national championship. Courtesy of the Tournament of Roses archives.
