On her ESPN blog yesterday, ACC blogger Heather Dinich anointed Georgia Tech’s backfield as the conference’s best, but not without mentioning that “the running game appears to be an early strength of the ACC—Duke included.”
We know Duke’s opening game against Richmond Sept. 5—mark it on your calendar!—is still more than [...]

Given the way he’s molded the program and shifted public perception in so little time, it’s hard to fathom that David Cutcliffe has only been at Duke for less than a year.

Exceeding expectations, one game at a time
I grew up a Michigan State basketball fan, and one thing that has always been said of head coach Tom Izzo is his uncanny ability to get the most out of his team come NCAA tournament time.  After leading his team to two consecutive Elite Eights, heights thought unreachable [...]

by Stephen Allan on November 22, 2008

Virginia Tech 14, Duke 3; 1:23: That will do it. Asack’s first pass of the drive was intercepted by Virginia Tech cornerback “Macho” Harris, who returned it 23 yards for a game-sealing pick six. Duke’s bowl hopes are now officially dead and it can only hope to end a four-game losing streak next weekend against [...]

Renfree Will Remain Redshirted

by Ben Cohen on November 18, 2008

Sean Renfree came to Duke this summer as the most highly touted recruit of David Cutcliffe’s initial recruiting haul. A four-star prospect and the No. 10 quarterback in his class, Renfree was hailed as a pro-style signal caller, but he was stuck behind Thaddeus Lewis and Zack Asack in a quarterback logjam.
