With Jones I picked Duke. With Harris... hmm...

Duke showed a stellar defense even with a depleted team against NW.

Cut will have plays designed for Harris to take advantage of his feet. We have not seen much of his passing ability, but he is a dual threat QB. Of course Cut felt an injured Jones was better than a healthy Harris last year...

We are dogs again, Harris has something to prove, and there is almost no film on Harris. I say we take em by 10.

Run the ball, move the chains, win the game.
Correct, but we can’t get into the bad habits of the past. Must run the read option and I would start the game with the Lloyd post pattern that scored last week. Quick slants to get Quentin confident and Stay away from those stupid bubble screens that lose 2 yards every time.

For all thy praises untold
We sing for the Blue and White

Firm stand our line of blue
For we are loyal through and through
All for the love of old D.U.
Fight! We'll Fight!
With all our strength and might
Win we can
So here we give a hand
Hey!
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
D-U-K-E, Rah!

Start with a TD! Nice play.

Great strip and turnover to get the short yardage situation.

I also had no idea that Hurd played for Baylor. I feel like he could have transferred anywhere.

Defense looking solid so far, Harris is being serviceable. He's gonna have to make better decisions if we're gonna keep this up.

I don't understand the run option with 38 seconds left. We've had success in the air.

Up 23-0 at halftime. Feel a lot better if it were 30 or 37 zip but I'll take it. OFC

4 scores up sounds better than 23


I know sometimes I sound like I can't be satisfied no matter how much we are up by whether it be football or basketball. I just believe if you have a roach under your foot even though he is secure and can't do any damage is not to throw it out in the yard but go ahead and crush it, then grind your foot a couple of times. Yes I do remember the 82-50 basketball game a few years back but unc did score 50 and we only scored 82. OFC

Bad play calling (or decision making) - and then block the punt because of crappy special teams play.

We have a bracey sighting! The staff really should’ve kept him at the qb position.

I'm not loving how the second half is going. That last touchdown was huge to make it a 3 score game. If we can get a stop, I think the game is over.
