Starting to feel like the Wake Forest fiasco. Except for one long pass, the O has been horrible. A lot to fix next year.

Starting to feel like... well, the not-so-distant past. I could be more frank about it, I guess. Still hoping for some offense. Still hoping for some defense.

And maybe premature assessments, great drive😀

Hey, now defense!

Daniel is playing on one good ankle, limping noticeably.

Hard to watch so far.

No TV shots of stadium. Are there even 5000 people in attendance?

What string are we down to in the secondary? I’ve watched most of our games this year and don’t recognize some of these names and numbers at all.

I saw a low shot early on, just before kickoff, and the place looked completely empty.

[JasonEvans]

Oh come on!!! You have to catch that ball. Standing still and it hits you right in the hands!! Argh!

[JasonEvans]

Nice catch from TJ there. Seems like a competitive game at the half (1 minute left)... Duke down 6.

[devilish]

Can we play defense for the final minute of the half?

Big question. Great kick coverage, though.

Saying "the ceiling is the 'roof'" has a very different meaning for duke football...

Probably 5-10,000 here and I’m being generous

Let me count the cliches:

We've seen this movie before...

Not exactly LSU v Michigan State or Nebraska/Ole Miss is it? Two small private schools a long way away from Shreveport.

Jones stat line: 13/20 199 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

The one craptastic pass that was intercepted excepted, Jones looked good in 1st half especially when one takes into account he is limping around on a bad ankle. I don't expect to see any QB draws called by Duke in this game.

That pass was REALLY craptastic though.

If this is his last game here, he's making a heck of a go at it. (not that i'd expect anything less)....winning on a bum ankle would be legendary as far as modern duke football goes.

I predict Temple's missed PAT comes back to haunt them. Duke by 1.
