He was asked about Duke’s serious running attack. He said something along the lines of maybe they will change their attack against Illinois. As in Duke might throw it more.
That isn’t going to happen. Their QB is hurt and it shows.
Duke also has a starting corner who played for Bobby last year. Previous Message
not sure they are mentally ready to give it to Valentine 20+ times if that's what is required. they really, really enjoy rotating running backs despite the drop off.
think the Henderson injury is going to be a problem for us versus a team that will run blitz like crazy. i think they will come out with more or less their same game plan from last year on defense.
defense didn't tackle well and didn't line up smoothly. not sure we are ready on that side of the ball.
i think its going to be a really close game. Previous Message
