Entering the first bye week, this is exactly where we expected this team to be. 4-1. A win at GT puts us right back in the race for the coastal, and sets us up nicely heading into the UVA game. Hopefully we have a fresh, healthy, and rested team in Atlanta 11 days from now.

Saw this earlier. Part of me is skeptical if he can really be productive playing with a cast on his hand. Could be another tragic blow for this team.

I know Cut is an offensive genius, but I was a little confused by a couple of quotes in his post-game press conference Saturday night. He said, "we put ourselves in position to win the game in the fourth quarter until we made a few mistakes defensively." Yes, you read that correctly. The mistakes ma...

This was awful to watch. This was by far, the worst offensive performance by this team since 2012. Our defense played GREAT. Holding Miami to only 16 points until very late in the game was a truly awesome performance. Jeremy Cash played like the NFL player he will be. Our defense gave Boone and comp...

We will be wearing the Blue/White/Blue uniform Saturday night in Miami. This is a good looking combination and really makes that Duke blue pop! In 2013 we were 2-1 while wearing this specific uniform set. Wins on the road against Virginia and Wake Forest, and the loss coming to Texas A&M in the Chic...

Dear coaches, please let Boone play like he's not on a toddler's leash. :ymapplause: :ymapplause: I have been preaching this for weeks! I like Thomas Sirk, but you can visibly see from the stands how angry Anthony gets when they put him in when they are at the 5 yard line. Anthony deserves to run t...

This one should be interesting.... Even after four blowout wins, I have no idea how this team will do in conference play starting this weekend. Almost everyone figured Duke would start 4-0, and the four teams they played were even worse than I expected them to be. Just like Adam Gold wrote, I have s...

Did not expect this, but Duke will be wearing throwback helmets this weekend. And they look AWESOME!

This is HUGE! Hopefully Cut is correct and these guys are back by mid-October or sooner. I have heard that Johnson has stepped up as a vocal leader and emotional leader in that defensive huddle, would really hurt to lose him.

Uniform set for tomorrow's game. I might be wrong, but this looks like the first time we have worn ALL blue in Cutcliffe's time here at Duke. I like the look, and it seems like they will be attempting to wear a different combination for almost every game.

WEAR BLUE TOMORROW!!

I have one for you.

Hi, Thank you for the offer but we actually had enough! Sorry for the miscommunication but I will not actually need the ticket.

Thanks!

I am looking for a ticket for a friend this Saturday. If anyone has an extra it would be appreciated, Thanks!

Agreed. I am still worried about our defensive line and our DB's ability to tackle. We have some small guys in our secondary other than Cash.

I'm not expert on this Kansas team, but they are playing with a new quarterback. And they are without their top two running backs who were both hurt in training camp. This Kansas team went 2-10 last year and one of those losses was to Rice. I figured the line would be similar to the Troy game and I ...

I was very impressed with how the team responded to adversity early in the game. When Troy made it 14-3 I figured this game was going to be decided in the 4th quarter. It seemed very similar to the Memphis game from last year early on. The defense looked awful on Troy's first two possessions. But An...

[/quote]That's correct: black helmets, white jerseys, white pants per a Duke_FB Tweet.[/quote] I could be wrong, but I am pretty certain this is the first time we've worn that combination. We usually wear all white with blue helmets. Not that it matters, but it looks like a pretty awesome combinatio...

I touted C.J. France's experience after the injury to Kelby Brown and multiple knowledgeable folks pointed out to me that France simply does not possess ACC level talent. I definitely agree with this Mr. Green. It seems pretty obvious that Holmes has a very high ceiling and looked pretty good last ...

C.J. France will not play on Saturday due to a leg injury. Redshirt Freshman Chris Holmes will get his first start of his career at WLB this weekend.

I participated in Duke's mid-week teleconference with Scottie Montgomery and Jim Knowles: http://bluedevilnation.net/2014/09/football-teleconference-notes/ Some interesting points from Coach Knowles. Maybe my assessment of the poor pass coverage was actually their plan all along. From what he said,...

Duke 30 Troy 13 Troy only managed 70 rushing yards on 31 attempts against.... UAB. That is horrific. Their new quarterback was pretty accurate, but was only able to throw for 160 yards and no TD's. I will be shocked if they move the ball very well against our defense. And if they do, we will be in t...
