Duke Vs. Boston College

[Cheermom]

I am still trying to figure out if I am going to be able to watch the game because I am assuming the local ACC station in the DC area will be carrying the Maryland vs WVA game which is at the same time.

I would assume the ACC Network would be carrying the game between 2 ACC teams.

IF that turns out not to be the case, you can watch on your computer.

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions.

Game day has arrived! How do we win today? There has been much rhetoric in the media this week about the offense playing wide open including Coach Cutcliffe saying "We're going to cut that cat loose" in regard to Sean Renfree. Well it is time for the rubber to meet the road. Boston College is a beat up football team so our offensive coordinator needs to take it at them with a full fledged attack.

1. Establish our strength by completing the short passes such as the quick slant, bubble screen and roll out the QB off play action.
2. Run the ball between the tackles.
3. Go deep!!! I want to see Renfree complete two or three long down field passes to our wide receivers.

Oh yeah, no turnovers, no stupid penalties at inopportune times, no blown coverage, no mental mistakes, no....you get the point. Our margin for error is minuscule so we must be on top of the game for a full 60 minutes.

Finally, we must solve our Red Zone woes. I desperately desire to see Renfree on the field on all downs inside the opponent's 20 yard line. Finally, oops I already said that, oh well, another Epiphany jumped into my scatter brain, Jamison Crowder is going to break a kick-off return for a long gainer this year. I don't know if it will be today but he has looked really good running the ball.

All good points. I don't want to see too many short slants on 3rd and long...drives me crazy when we need 9 and run a 3 yard play. That has always seemed to be the case, no matter the Duke coach. I'm looking forward to seeing this one on TV..I haven't had a chance to watch the last two so it will be good to be able to see the replays and the close up views.

Are you ready for some footbaaaaaaallllll!!! GO DUKE!!!

No Connette, I believe is a good thing for the team, Renfree and Connette. A lightning bolt idea may come bursting through the clouds to shake up a novel thought... that the offense should dance across the goal line with the date that brought'em.

And on goduke.com you can view the Live stats and Audio (assume will be Bob Harris and John Roth).

Sean Renfree, its time to Cut this Cat loose!!! Go Pluck the EAgles!

The 1st period was horrible!!!!!!!!

And then Connor Vernon limped off the field, with assistance. They put a sleeve on his leg. Damn!

Conner's tough. The team's not giving up and neither am I!

In case you missed it in the replay, I put a spell on the BC FG attempt. Don't doubt the Diva.

Kind of a sorry way to win a game, but after all the bad kicking breaks we've gotten this season, not to mention recent past seasons, I'll take it!

Woo hoo!

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

Ima wants to go on record as NEVER EVER having doubted the Diva! Or the Duchess, either!!!!! If I'm ever in a foxhole, I want them in there with me!!!
Love, Ima

PS Think we'll all fit?

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

Don't know 'bout you beer drinkin' fools, but the OP and Ima are drinking CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!! GO DUKE!
Love, Ima

I attribute the missed BC field goal as God's justice for the horrid roughing the passer call against the Devils, that put those birds in the position they were in.

AND...since when does pointing toward your fans in the stands constitute excessive celebrating? There was a Hell of a lot of home field hooey shenanigans happening yesterday, and not just in Chestnut Hill.

[DevilWearsPrada2.0]

A great win for the Blue Devils. I am sure the boys are banged up and bruised and feeling the pain today. So many penalties for Duke, and BC did have everything in their favor.

Sean Renfree, Connor Vernon and Donovan Varner are just tough!! Fought with heart and hustle, and I am sure bruising and pain.

I believe, God sent a small wind, on the final field goal, to give Duke a well deserved WIN.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Kenny Anunike summed it up well.

"I dropped into coverage to handle the possible fake," Anunike said, "and then, all of a sudden when I'm turning around. I just hear a clink and I just looked back and the ball's coming right down in my face. I was just like, 'Thank God."

The Coach Cut show will air at Noon on WTVD 11. Maybe you can watch it online, or it will be archived.

Ugly losses are just par for the course in sports, but losing to Duke in football seems like it takes the cake.

We didn't give them much reason to think differently with our game against Richmond...but it apparent that people still expect to see the "same old Duke" when we play them. I loved reading this guy's article of woe and humiliation. HAHAHAHA
