ESPN has their "half season" award mentions out.
Notable for Duke is our guy for
Coach Of The Year, at third on the list.
3. 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.
And again for
Best Surprises
Duke. 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!

Outstanding effort last night. I’m worried about Riley Leonard. Hopefully, he is okay.

Duke stays in the top 20, Cheaters tumble to 17.
Duke's next opponent is 18th.

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. We'll never know.

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."

Here's a graphic showing the ACC leaders in yards per carry
after contact. Duke needs Riley, he stays on his feet.
Reminder that we'll be chatting in Sec 21 tomorrow.

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

And to be Debbie Downer here, another report said their bruising RB Jordan will be in the loovil backfield.

There have been no wheels on the wagon for basically 6 quarters of football now. Depressing.

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.
