    Too easy for Wake to throw on that drive. Need to get pressure on Hartman or he will continue to pick us apart.

    We are going to give up 35-40 easy— we just have to outscore them.

    Duke is gonna have to put some pressure on Hartman or he will pick this defense apart all day.

    That was too quick for Wake Forest TD. Maybe Coach Smith can get some changes to rush Hartman. Leonard's turn.

    Agreed. Good passing QB's really carve us up (little Thanksgiving humor there.)

    I never dreamed I would see a Duke football team play at such a high level in my lifetime.

    This is truly incredible stuff!!
    Quite the overstatement. We’re competitive with Wake Forest today, but would not beat Clemson or hang with other top 10 teams.

    Great looking offense thus far!!

    Interesting that Charlie Ham is back but is only doing kickoffs. Todd Pelino is still doing extra points and field goals. Perhaps Coach Elko is looking to the future with the success (Freshman) Pelino has had since filling in for Ham during his 3-game absence. Pelino apparently needs to develop better distance on kickoffs, but is adequate for short and medium field goals. He has been accurate so far (4 for 5, including a 42-yarder today).

    Agreed. The ACC is really mediocre.Still, Duke has been a pleasant surprise and is more competitive than I hoped before the year.

    Leonard was not good on that set of downs. He has to deliver better than that or Duke will fall behind.

    Nice humor!
    And yes, our pass D is absolutely horrible. Our D backs never ever watch the ball.
    We can’t cover receivers period.

    Even worse plays by DBs. Our O must score every series.

    Need to get some points before half with Wake getting the ball to start the 2nd half.

    Although we played Perry pretty effectively on that pass to him in the end zone double teaming him.

    Let’s hope we try to score here with 1:55 left. Too often, we just run out the clock.
    I don’t want to see a single run play here. Let’s at least TRY to score.

    Moving slowly which means WF may not get another chance. I like our strategy.

    Man, Jordan Moore is so impressive in regard to YAC...what a fun guy to watch with the ball in his hands.
