Charlotte football just made history in by beating Duke last night with a final score of 31-28 – it’s first ever win against a Power 5 team.
After Duke took the lead in the final quarter 28-24 with only 1:44 minutes left to play, Charlotte’s star QB Chris Reynolds completed the next 4 out of 5 passes with a game winning 11-yard toss to Shadrick Byrd, who darted into the endzone to give Charlotte their 31-28 lead with only 33 seconds left to play.
Here was the moment the stadium erupted and the moment history was made:
