With a critical ACC Coastal matchup looming in Atlanta this weekend, Duke head coach David Cutcliffe and Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson indirectly exchanged words in separate press conferences this week.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.— A perfect season no more.
The Blue Devils finished the first half trailing Miami 9-7 after allowing the Hurricanes to get off to a hot start with back-to-back scoring drives. Quarterback Anthony Boone had trouble finding open receivers in a scrappy Miami secondary, and the redshirt senior started the game 2-for-7 for -2 yards through the air. He had an opportunity to make a big play midway through the first quarter, but overthrew a wide open Jamison Crowder.
On the verge of losing the swagger that had made Miami a football power in the 2000s, the Hurricanes now seek revenge and an inside shot at the ACC Coastal Crown against an opponent it can no longer take lightly.
As the Blue Devils prepare to open their ACC slate against Miami Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens Fla., Duke released its weekly injury report. We look at who will be missing Saturday's game and the implications going forward:
The bell of the Blue Zone stock exchange has just rung again, meaning it's time for our third Stock Watch of the season taking a look at who is rising and falling with their performances for Blue Devil sports teams. Each week The Blue Zone will look at whose stock is on the rise and whose stock has taken a hit from the week in the world of Duke athletics.
For some teams, a record doesn't tell the whole story.
The opening bell of the Blue Zone stock exchange has just rung, meaning it's time for our second Stock Watch of the season taking a look at who is rising and falling with their performances for Blue Devil sports teams. Each week The Blue Zone will look at whose stock is on the rise and whose stock has taken a hit from the week in the world of Duke athletics.
In the wake of a record-setting performance, it comes as little surprise that true freshman running back Shaun Wilson has been named National Freshman of the Week by Athlon Sports.
For two programs that have only faced off on the gridiron once in history, Duke and Kansas have a lot in common.
It has been a while since Duke has lost a true road game.
While other teams around the country struggled against FCS teams, the Blue Devils cruised past Elon 52-13 in their season opener Saturday night. Although the Phoenix kept the score close in the first quarter, Duke scored 21 unanswered points in the second quarter to take a 28-6 lead by halftime. Elon could not mount a comeback and was held to just a single fourth quarter touchdown.
It took no time to see that Duke football was ready to continue its winning ways that it got used to last season.
The Blue Devils lead 28-6 after getting off to a hot start at a packed Wallace Wade Stadium. Redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Boone started the game on a high note with an 11 play, 61-yard drive that resulted in a four-yard flare pass to wide receiver Issac Blakeney. Elon responded with a scoring drive of its own, that resulted in a 36-yard field goal by kicker John Gallagher.
Two years ago, the task of replacing a leading rusher, a top red-zone threat, a consistent receiver and the undisputed leader of the defense would have decimated a Duke football team.
With the Blue Devils starting their bid to repeat as ACC Coastal Division champions Saturday against Elon at 6:00 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium, we break down every team on Duke's schedule and every other ACC squad:
The Demon Deacons will be trying to reach the postseason for the first time since 2011, but first year head coach Dave Clawson will face an uphill battle against a strong ACC Atlantic Division.
The Wolfpack face an uphill battle in the ACC's Atlantic Division this season, finding themselves on the outside looking in at top teams Florida State, Clemson and Louisville. In his second season, Dave Doeren will hope to lead his team back to bowl eligibility after going 3-9 last year.
After storming out of the gates with seven straight wins to start the 2013 season, the Hurricanes dropped four of their last six to finish the season 9-4.
The slate has never been fresher for Elon.
