Blue Devils evolve to remain strong
Duke lets 18-point lead slip in loss to Notre Dame
Congrats Coach K on 903!
November 16, 2011
Coach Mike Krzyzewski set a new record last night, and will continue to set a new one with each win from here on out. By the time he is done, it may be a number that is untouchable; we don’t see that many young head coaches anymore, and to get to 903 and beyond you have to start young. Brad Stevens at Butler is the easiest name to think of, we’ll see how he is doing in 30 years. Here are some links looking back at K’s amazing achievement.

Duke Notches Road Win, Defeats BC 20-19
September 19, 2011
Duke defeats BC 20-19 on a cool, but beautiful, afternoon in the Boston suburbs. Duke used a potent offensive efforts in the 2nd half to fight back to a lead that they would not relinquish.
The defense adjusted at halftime and came out and stymied what had been an effective BC offense in the First Half.
Of course, this win, as glorious has it is, didn’t come easy. Although Duke’s offense moved the ball seemingly at will, it couldn’t put points on the board. Missed opportunities, penalties and, yes, missed kicks…sigh.
And the defense, which had played so well in the half, suddenly allowed BC to move down the field virtually undisturbed.
Yet, it turns out that “missed kicks” can cut both ways. Nate Freese, who had missed an extra point earlier, missed his game-winning FG with just 23 seconds left to secure the win for Duke.
It’s a win, road win, in the ACC. And Duke showed improvement. But, the reality, as this poster sees it, is we were lucky.
