With the 2023 season on the horizon, the Blue Zone breaks down each of the eight major position groups for this Duke squad: Specialists, defensive line, offensive line, linebackers, defensive backs, receivers, running backs and quarterbacks:
In years past, seeing teams like No. 9 Clemson and No. 13 Notre Dame on the schedule would have meant near-certain defeat for Duke. To put it simply, the Blue Devils have historically not had a program that strikes fear in the hearts of their gridiron opponents. They sit below .500 in all-time winning percentage at an uninspiring .471, and have finished with a winning record just six times since 2000. There were three seasons during that stretch where Duke failed to win a single game.

Coming into the season, Duke did not have an especially highly-touted program. The Blue Devils struggled mightily in the 2022 campaign, going 22-32 overall with a meager 10-20 in ACC play. Few expected the 2023 season to be much different. Indeed, none of The Chronicle’s baseball beat writers expected this year’s squad to clear the .500 mark in conference play. This team simply did not appear to have the pieces required to succeed in one of the toughest conferences in Division 1 baseball.
