Thanks! As much improved as they should be this season the OL is still a question mark since they lost three veterans, but they return a bunch of skill positions, and the better the Blue Devils get the better the division teams get as well!

Defense is solid but last season seemed to give up the big play which killed their chances in a six-game skid

Jones' numbers were down a bit last season but he had a great spring and looks to have a break out year!

I'm saying a conservative 7-5 and I believe they get beat by somebody they should win against, but they turn around and beat somebody they had no business beating

douggie, Good analysis on your Blue Devils.

I'll predict that Duke will go 8-4 which is the same prediction I made for NC State on another thread even though I think I might have been a little too generous to the Wolfpack since 7-5 might be more realistic for the red and white. I'm just not sold yet on replacing the talent that we lost from last season.

Yeah, but having a returning QB means a bunch and State has that!

douggie, Yes, both Duke and NC State will be blessed this coming season with good starting QBs but I'm visualizing a lot of holes in that Wolfpack defense. I'll be surprised if NCS is involved in many low scoring games.
