Mrs PDDuke and I will be on our per usual perch in section 28. I suspect we’ll see vanilla. Looking for crisp, no penalties, no injuries, and no band led welcome to our friends from Elon.
Yes but would want to see the two deep. Many skill offensive players but OL is a mystery. Many new parts. Manny says it is progressing well Prognosticators know less than our avid fans due to many new faces. I expect a bowl for what little that is worth
Yes, there is reason for optimism. Lots of unknowns but some solid pieces in place. FWIW (nothing), I am predicting a 7-6 season record.
Several seasons ago that would have been quite the result! Based on what I have read/heard/schedule, I'm hoping for seven wins. Four conference wins, and out of conference loss. One surprise conference win against someone we won't be predicted for.
I think that's where the official o/u is, but they (in the words of a famous man) are misunderestimating us, or so I think.
Let’s hope so. I worry with a new regime and new QB that we take a bit of a step back this season. Of course the ACC may not be very good either…
I worry about the defense more than the “new regime and new QB.” Depth on D could be an issue. Linebacker stands out to me.
4Gen, that's pretty cool. Here's hoping they have a great time at the game and come away with at least somewhat of an appreciation for it.
The Devils Den preview today has linebacker as a strength, lots of new faces and depth there, and two returning starters.
You needed to drive on I-85 north this weekend. It did nothing to remove this stereotype. I saw more NJ minivans with Duke stickers than I ever saw regular cars from NJ on campus. (Yes, I know this was upperclass move-in.)
I can't really speak to that, but I live in Burlington and it seems like most of the Elon kids have NJ or MD license plates. A large bulk of them seem to be from the northeast anyway.
