ESPN has their "half season" award mentions out.
Notable for Duke is our guy for Coach Of The Year, at third on the list.
Notable for Duke is our guy for Coach Of The Year, at third on the list.
And again for Best Surprises3. Mike Elko, Duke. Duke was far better than expected last year, and Elko got a lot of credit for that, but his Blue Devils relied heavily on turnovers luck to get to 9-4. This year, the Blue Devils are just really good. They beat Clemson to start the season and clocked NC State 24-3 with their backup quarterback Saturday. Their only blemish: the last-minute heartbreaker against Notre Dame that cost them both their unbeaten start and, for a little while at least, starting quarterback Riley Leonard. Either way, Elko has done an absurdly good job.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/i ... -surprisesDuke. The Blue Devils were projected 49th in SP+ at the start of the season. If we were to take preseason projections out of the rankings entirely, they would currently rank 10th. Tenth! Duke!

I thought the play that took out Leonard was dirty. The guy grabbed him by the face mask to throw him down and ripped his helmet off in the process. Why wasn’t he ejected from the game? That seems just as dangerous as targeting to me. I also think it was an intentional attempt to injure him.

I thought the same thing after watching replays and some commented in a game thread that f$u was head-hunting.

The awful irony of that play was the ref saying "Since the player's helmet was removed due to a penalty, he is allowed to remain in the game."ArkieDukie wrote: ↑October 23rd, 2023, 8:27 amI thought the play that took out Leonard was dirty.

Here's a graphic showing the ACC leaders in yards per carry after contact. Duke needs Riley, he stays on his feet.

Listening on the radio this morning (generic college football show), one person said "There is optimism that Riley Leonard will be playing for Duke."

Re: Duke Football 2023 (6-3, 3-2 ACC) Bowl Bound
While it wasn't the seemingly 63-59 scores that were getting to be common back in the Cutcliffe years, last night's game did have that feel of anyone winning it, it just depended on who had the ball last.
Thankfully it was us! The defense was not good in the first half, and questionably into the 3rd quarter, but they sure found the perfect time to get the ship upright.
