Good to know. I live in Raleigh and I am a subscriber so I guess that's why I could access. Sorry.

FWIW, I am not a subscriber and had no problems reading the article. I'm pretty sure the N&O is free but limits the number of articles that can read by non-subscribers. Had you read any other N&O articles before clicking on those links? You may have just hit your limit. Whenever that happens to me at work I just switch browsers and usually the articles will open fine in the different browser, so you might try that.
“Alabama inside linebacker Josh McMillon is likely out the upcoming season after suffering a knee injury at the team's scrimmage Saturday, reports AL.com's Matt Zenitz.

“The Crimson Tide already lost freshman running back Trey Sanders to a season-ending foot injury.”

Sorry to read about the injuries to these two Crimson Tide players in particular...best of luck in regard to their recovery. I also want them to be as close to full strength as possible when we play them. I don't want to hear any Alabama fans complaining when we pull off the big upset that they would've won had everyone been healthy 😉.
P.S. - old news but can't express how sorry I was to hear the bad news about Jake Bobo. I can't wait to see him back on the field...heal quickly, Jake!
This is Duke day on David Glenn show
I predict that if we beat both Alabama and Norte Dame that we will have a winning season and go to a bowl
Brazen prediction I know I know....But....
I'm looking forward to listening to the podcast later, but Harding and Shumate filled in for DG on Duke Day per his twitter.
I think DG and his family are across the pond for a bit. I have always thought that having the various university days while he's out in the summer was a pretty smart move.
This Adam Rowe scrimmage article states true freshman Jalon Calhoun (5'11" 185) is currently the starter at slot receiver. Calhoun will wear #5:

"He's been tremendous," said Cutcliffe. "He's as good of a natural football player as we have. He comes to work everyday, almost runs himself in the ground everyday. He was a quarterback in high school. He's just a pure playmaker. With Jake Bobo out at that position, he had earned second team at that position by then. That's why he as in the starting role tonight."
Good news for this year's prospects - I just saw Offensive Coordinator Zac Roper interviewed on twitter and has grown a beard. Fear the beard is real.

Duke's David Cutcliffe said redshirt freshman QB Gunnar Holmberg had knee surgery today to repair cartilage damage. Surgeon found meniscus was only partially torn. Repair was made. No timetable for recovery. Long-term prognosis good.

Freshmen players are all over Duke’s two-deep chart, earning playing time with the first- and second-team units on offense and defense when the Blue Devils held their first scrimmage this past Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Nice comment on the importance of a healthy Aaron Young:
Quote:
Young has been healthy so far this fall and caught a 34-yard scoring strike in the first scrimmage. He is Duke’s most experienced receiver and most effective deep threat. His continued good health would go a long way towards an effective passing attack.
Great article, thanks Bob. I love the competition and the depth and improvement that it will hopefully create. It is a little surprising given that our recruiting class was considered to be pretty pedestrian. It seems that Cut is pushing and motivating this team differently this year. Given our schedule, that makes sense.
