Having been crushed by the Seminole aerial attack this past Saturday, the Blue Devils need to watch junior wide receiver Chris Givens Saturday in their contest against Wake Forest.
The Duke defense needs to be particularly wary of the Florida State aerial attack this Saturday, and should keep a close eye on freshman wide receiver Rashad Greene.
Coming into this Saturday’s contest against Tulane, redshirt junior quarterback Ryan Griffin is the one to watch for the Green Wave.
When the Blue Devils face off against Boston College Saturday, junior linebacker Luke Kuechly will be in the forefront of their minds. In 2010, Kuechly led the nation with a total of 183 tackles, including 110 solo tackles. Despite his success last year, when he finished as a runner-up for the Butkus Award, an honor given to the nation’s outstanding linebacker, Keuchly put on 10 pounds over the summer while maintaining his speed. In the 2011 preseason, Kuechly’s name graced the watch lists for collegiate football’s most prestigious honors, including National Defensive Impact Player of the Year, National Defensive Player of the Year, Top Defensive Player of the Year, and Lineman of the Year. Notably, Kuechly finds himself on the watch list for the Butkus Award once again.
The Blue Devils had a strong showing Saturday at the Davidson Open where they grabbed nine top-four finishes, including three individual titles. Among these, senior Chris Mullen secured his first career tournament win at 141 pounds.
Junior Henrique Cunha traveled to the ITA National Indoor Championship this weekend looking for redemption. Last year, he lost in the quarterfinals of both the singles and doubles brackets, playing with partner then-senior Reid Carleton. This time in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., though, Cunha was hungry for a stronger showing on this national stage.
Although the Blue Devils are off to their best start in several years, they once again could not break through against one of the nation’s elite, falling to a top-10 opponent by one goal for the fourth time this season.
Tulane and Duke are both on the upswing as they enter Saturday’s contest.
Last week, Stanford beat Duke 44-14, bringing back some not-so-fond memories of the Alabama game in 2010.
