Duke Football 2020

[BigKen]

That schedule has been adjusted as well. When other teams postponed games on their schedules the bye weeks were readjusted to include games that needed to be scheduled. This is why Duke will face Virginia in their bye week next Saturday. Hey, it's a fluid situation.

My grandson was really into going to Kentucky but he's watched Duke for the past two weeks and now he's thinking that he can make a difference at either WR or QB. He's almost 6'2" 200 and of course football was cancelled at his school this year. They're doing weight work and field practice and might play a couple of practice games between now and Thanksgiving and the conference is trying to put together a spring football mini schedulke for late March and early April. Problem is that we can't depend on the weather. In 1978 we had 30" of snow on April 7.

Doesn't matter, he getting A's in all five of his classes and should do equally well in the spring. That and he doesn't lose this year of eligibility so he has four years of football ahead of him. Like I told him, Duke is not a gimme academically and making the Dean's List will go a long way in getting academically accepted in the fall.

Thanks but that was a track meet and not a football game. We've got a lot of work to do on D.

Leading the nation in turnovers is NOT the way to go about a football season. That's why Duke is 0-3 to start this year. Until they take care of the football I don't see this team winning a game.

Hadn't even realized that. Even worse!

Don't worry, you will get your win when you play NC State.

Hey buddy!

Could be much better for sure! Though something might be in pipeline to make it much better (atleast the ball has started rolling, might abruptly stop but) at least its something.

You? How's quarantine life?

If we are living in the new normal all I can say is that I can't stand normal. I'm good for an old guy for now.

I hope things continue to get much better for you.

Me neither. New normal sucks!

Greatly appreciated! Hope so too but not getting my hopes up

Duke has been terrible this year in football. And Cutcliffe has a resume from ACC play too. Here is his record since he's been head coach at Duke:

• 2020: 0-4
• 2019: 3-5
• 2018: 3-5
• 2017: 3-5
• 2016: 1-7
• 2015: 4-4
• 2014: 5-3
• 2013: 6-2
• 2012: 3-5
• 2011: 1-7
• 2010: 1-7
• 2009: 3-5
• 2008: 1-7

Turnovers are a huge issue. Here's this season's turnovers:

• Fumbles - 7
  • 2 Brice
  • 1 Jackson
  • 1 Philyaw-Johnson
  • 1 Calhoun
  • 1 Holmberg
  • 1 Bobo
• Interceptions - 8
  • 7 Brice
  • 1 Calhoun

You cannot blame all the turnovers on coaching, but...
