CLEMSON, South Carolina (Ticker) -- Woodrow Dantzler became the first player in NCAA history to pass for 2,000 yards and run for 1,000 in the same season, powering Clemson to a 59-31 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over Duke. In his final home appearance, Dantzler accounted for 378 yards of total offense and five touchdowns -- four through the air. He completed 12-of-20 passes for 243 yards and rushed for 135 yards on 19 carries. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and allowed Clemson (6-5, 4-4 ACC) to become bowl eligible. Duke (0-11, 0-8) completed its second straight winless season and suffered its 23rd straight defeat, the longest losing streak in the country. Dantzler needed 131 yards to reach the 1,000-yard plateau. He concluded the regular season with 1,004 yards rushing and 2,360 yards through the air, a school record. Danztler also became Clemson's career leader in passing yards and touchdowns and just the third quarterback to pass for 5,000 yards and rush for 2,500. Clemson spotted Duke (0-11, 0-8) and early 7-0 lead, but the Tigers erupted for 24 points in the first quarter and never looked back. They outgained the Blue Devils, 608-394, in total offense. Travis Zachery scored three touchdowns and also surpassed the century mark for Clemson with 115 yards on 14 carries. Roscoe Crosby caught six passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers. D. Bryant completed 23-of-56 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns for the Blue Devils.
