I agree. I watched the game again today, Thad did lots of things well, under tons of pressure. The recievers weren't catching, and there were at least 2 pass interference calls. While Renfree got in the endzone twice, I think Thad would have led 3 scoring drives, including the missed FG. The other ended in a fumble. Aside from his two TD's, Duke punted the rest of Sean's possessions. He played well, threw great, but he isn't the annointed one yet.

After getting the chance to see the replay, I agree with all the above. Renfree did prove to be more than worthy, however.
I wish CBS Sports would get the programming schedule information correct on their release to Dish. They were reporting a replay at 6AM this morning. The Panthers were sucking it so badly that it was a pleasure to turn away, even if I knew the outcome. Nice outcome!

When Renfree scored the first TD, Thad was the FIRST player to congratulate him when he came off of the field. Thad is THE leader of this team, no one else.

One of the benefits of being on the sideline during the game is hearing the conversations between players during the game. Thad is one of the only players that speaks with people on the defense as well as the offense. He pumps up Leon Wright, Vinny Rey, and Big Vince. He is a true leader and DUKE is blessed to have him.

I truly believe that if Thad thought that Renfree was more capable to lead the team, then he would tell Cut to put Renfree in the game. That is the type of person and leader that Thad Lewis is and I glad that he is Duke's QB. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I saw this as well. Though, it was on TV. TV was showing Thad on the sidelines as if he were some fallen, incapable player that had to watch from the sidelines because he lost his ability.

What that jackass Strehorn (Sehorn?) was reporting and what was happening on the field were two entirely different events.

I'm glad ISP still has a station more or less in this region so I can hear more intelligent commentary from Bob Harris, Wes Chesson and Anthony Dilwig.

Vernon worked out today, but did not practice. Game-time decision.

Hollingsworth- probable.
