For a program used to being loaded with juniors and seniors, this season’s lineup is noticeably different for the Blue Devils.

Matt Lubick may be the newest member of Duke’s coaching staff, but he is no stranger to the game.

Lubick’s brother, Marc, spent five seasons as an assistant at Colorado State before taking a job as an offensive assistant for the NFL’s Houston Texans in February.
