Duke football is full of good vibes after dismantling reigning ACC champion and then-No. 9 Clemson in Wallace Wade Stadium on Monday night. The 28-7 victory, the program's first over a top-10 team since a home win over Clemson in 1989, will go down as the Blue Devils' all-time signature win should they continue the joy ride.

That joy results from unrivaled determination among the players and coaches. It was all on full display against the Tigers.

So it was only fitting that the creative team provided a chance for Blue Devil fans to soak it up again, from the pre-game speech to undeniably the most picturesque stormed field in Duke football history.

Check out the "Oh, what a night!" cinematic recap that the program's social media accounts released on Wednesday night:

"It is a testimony to what you can accomplish if you put yourselves together and you're willing to give a lot to an organization," second-year Duke football head coach and reigning ACC Coach of the Year Mike Elko, now also The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week (a national honor), told the media after the win. "These kids work so hard.

"They've put so much into this thing, and they just continue to fight and come together to be successful...That is one win, and we still got a lot more to play."

The now-No. 21 Blue Devils look to begin a season 2-0 for a second time under Mike Elko when they host Lafayette (1-0) at 6 p.m. ET Saturday.
