Cincinnati 48, Duke 34: Brendon Kay connected with Travis Kelce on the go-ahead 83-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds remaining as the Bearcats stunned the Blue Devils at the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C.

With Duke poised to take the lead in the final two minutes, Cincinnati's John Williams recovered a fumble at the Bearcat 5-yard line with 1:20 remaining. Three plays later, Kay aired it out to Kelce and the tight end rumbled into the end zone to give the Bearkats a 41-34 lead.

The Blue Devils raced to a 16-0 first quarter lead only to see Cincinnati rally to take a 17-16 halftime advantage. The Bearkats extended the lead to 27-16 in the third quarter before Duke answered with 15 straight points, setting the stage for the frantic fourth quarter.

Renfree finished 37-for-49 for 358 yards and a touchdown, but he threw a pair of interceptions as the Blue Devils finished with four turnovers in losing their fifth straight game to end the season.

George Winn paced the Cincinnati running game with 130 yards on 16 carries, including a 46-yard TD run in the third quarter.
