Big loss is an understatement. Just an inexplicable decision.
Yeah, I wanna see competitive fight and smarter play. Not expecting miracles in a single offseason.Bob Green wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 7:43 amCollege Football News preseason rankings:

Duke checks in at #83. Season opener opponent Temple is the only opponent ranked lower with NC A&T not included in the rankings due to being FCS. CFN predicts a 2-10 record for Duke. Hopefully, we double up the wins to four…or more but my optimism isn’t high for these coming season. I’d set the wins over/under at 3.5. It is going to take Coach Elko two or three seasons to turn things around.
I'm very confident that we have more than 2 wins. Four sounds right, 5 would be nice. Anything beyond that of course is gravy, but if it's 3 or less I'll admittedly be disappointed.Bob Green wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 7:43 amCollege Football News preseason rankings:

This is the time of year when I allow my optimism to get the best of me. Annual occurrence. I’m trying to keep it in check. The OL will be a strength with four returning starters and four graduate transfers. A lot can go right behind an effective OL. QB play is my number one concern on offense.CameronBornAndBred wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 9:26 amI’m very confident that we have more than 2 wins. Four sounds right, 5 would be nice.
