Great win today to bring us to 3-1, best start since 1994. I haven't gotten to watch any of the games this year, being on the West Coast and sans ESPNU, but it sounds like Cutcliffe has really got this team in gear.
I took a look at the remainder of our schedule and it was a bit of a gut-check. Clearly our cupcake season is over, and it's time to find out what this team is really made of. We need to win three of the following games to be bowl-eligible this year:
GA Tech
Miami
Vandy (#21)
Wake (#16)
NC State
Clemson (#20, though they just lost to MD)
VA Tech
Carolina
Only the Miami, State, and Carolina games are at home. What does everyone think -- can this team pull off three more wins and make it to a bowl game this year? I hear Boise's nice in December.
I think we'll do it by beating Miami, State (win over ECU is a fluke, I'm hoping, and ECU is currently losing to Houston), and finally, in a glorious win for the ages, Carolina in the season finale.
Whatever happens, great job so far for the team and coaches to really turn things around. It's great to see so many people excited about Duke football again.
