Well here we are. Love the one you're with!
I believe that it's going to be an Aggie Takeover. A lot of my friends were out of town or torn away to the Coltrane Festival, so that might help.
The Team looked good. We are Big up front too. We have speed. We have protected the football. Man, this is a great time for our Program!
I think that it will be a sight to see.

Duke's Defense won't be easy to play against. I hope we beat the spread.

Yeah Dukes D pretty much handled Alabama for a half, if we can protect the football and at least equal the TOP, the score will remain respectable.
We will need to be even better up front for the run game to even have moderate success, their front 7 really gets after it.

Duke looked good against Alabama for the first half. It's gonna take a perfect game from us to remain competitive in Durham. But if any black college squad is up for the challenge, its the Aggies. Let's go get em!!

Hey guys, let's just take a few minutes to reflect on where we are...we're actually discussing the possibility that we "might" pull an upset over Duke! That is amazing considering the differences in resources, funding and talent. I love the optimism. No matter what happens remember what Jessie said..."Keep Hope Alive!"

Special Teams.....
Force Turnovers......
Don't make turnovers......
Minimize the penalties......
Punting game must be on point......
Take as much time off the clock when we have the ball on offense......
If we keep this thing close going into the 4th qtr, things will get very uncomfortable up in Wallace-Wade!!

A few good things:
1. Most of our kids won't be wide-eyed/overwhelmed like they were when we played UNC in 2015.
2. Our receiving corps is much deeper and experienced than 2015.
3. I'm gonna say our QB is a better passer than 2015.
4. Our O-line is better than 2015.
5. Our kicking game is better than 2015.
6. Our D-line is deeper and, overall, more experienced than 2015.
7. Etc.
In a nutshell, we're a much better overall team.
puke had better not sleep.

I'll be there! We just had a FG kicker come alive, to complete that aspect. Man these guys saw one another in high school. 'Put the ball down'...S. Washington

Elon was my worry game. We did that. Just learn something, be competitive, and get better while playing Duke.

The pundits have already started. See 247 Sports excerpts. They seem to be looking past us. 247sports.com/college/duke/Article/duke-football-will-look-to-win-the-season-home-opener-against-north-carolina-at-on-saturday-135095008/Remember the days when beating an FCS opponent wasn't an expectation, but a nice surprise for Duke? Those times are long gone and the Blue Devils will be expected to not only beat the Aggies at home, but to do so convincingly. On Saturday Harris had very little time and his receivers struggled to get off the line as well. He had no chance to establish anything resembling a rhythm and therefore couldn't take chances nor did Duke have a real chance to open up the passing playbook. Let's see what happens against an FCS opponent that won't bring the same level of pressure after the snap. While North Carolina A&T will provide a different look this week, the Blue Devils should be able to control the line of scrimmage and Duke should be able to rack up more tackles for loss and sacks this week as well. That should provide a nice shot in the arm ahead of a tricky game with Middle Tennessee State. |

We open as a 29.5 point underdog. I've seen one computer prediction that had us loosing 25-20.
