2016-17 record: 11-22, 4-14 in the Big 12
It was an exciting night for the fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday, as Duke kicked off its 2017-18 campaign with the ninth edition of Countdown to Craziness. The Blue team knocked off the White team by a score of 43-41. Here are our 10 observations from the intrasquad scrimmage and festivities:
Two hundred sixteen days—that’s how long it has been since Duke limped off the court at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C.
In the college football world, there are plenty of iconic head coaches—names like Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh are among the elite in their field. But only one man has earned the title, "Head Ball Coach," and he has quite the personality to go along with the nickname.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—The numbers tell it all: 14-of-42 passing for 124 yards, two interceptions, a pair of sacks and a deflating 28-21 loss.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—The first quarter appeared as if it would be more of the same. After Virginia tagged Duke for six turnovers last October, two early interceptions—including a long pick six—made it seem like the Cavaliers would make it another long afternoon for Daniel Jones.
If there’s one thing you circle on your calendar this week, it should be at 7 p.m. Friday.
Saturday’s game was a historic win for the Blue Devils—marking the program’s third 4-0 start in the last 29 seasons and the 500th victory in school history—but was an even bigger milestone for their head coach.
With Duke's 2017 football season kicking off Saturday against N.C. Central in Wallace Wade Stadium, The Chronicle's football beat writers and sports editors made predictions on how the team will fare and which players will stand out the most.
With the 2017 season right around the corner, The Chronicle's football beat writers break down each of the nine major position groups: quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, offensive line, defensive line, defensive backs, linebackers, kicker/punter and punt/kickoff returners.
With a cloud of controversy over his head stemming from rape allegations that became public last spring, Ciaran McKenna took center stage in Duke's regular-season opener.
2016 season: 4-8, 2-6 in the ACC (T-6th in the Atlantic Division)
2016 season: 7-6, 3-5 in the ACC (T-4th in the Atlantic Division)
2016 season: 10-4, 6-2 in the ACC (1st in the Coastal Division)
There is no question as to who the most important member of this Blue Devil squad is. Quarterback Daniel Jones is the one player who can potentially carry Duke back to bowl eligibility—and maybe even beyond in seasons to come.
With 13 first-half shots and a handful more in the first 29 minutes of the second half, the Blue Devils were dominating Sunday’s game, yet had just one goal to show for it.
When Marvin Bagley III committed to Duke a little more than a week ago, I experienced the same rush of excitement that I figure most Blue Devil fans felt. It’s rare that any college basketball team can pick up a player this close to the start of the school year—and in this case, one that so dramatically lifts his team’s chances of bringing home a national title.
In the last 17 seasons, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has had his fair share of young teams. But for the first time since 1999-2000, the Blue Devils' roster will feature seven freshmen, capped by a key last-minute addition Monday night.
NEW YORK—Before Thursday night, Duke had sent nine freshmen to the NBA Draft, each of whom was selected in the first round.
With four Duke players expected to be taken in Thursday's NBA Draft at the Barclays Center in New York after leaving school early, three of The Chronicle's men's basketball beat writers debate their NBA futures.
