Duke was tied with Wake heading into the fourth quarter last year.

They allowed less than 31 points only once <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> (a 15-13 loss to Rice).

We had a good offense going there. Mike Hart was stellar (should be a fairly high draft pick) and Chris Douglas is someone you expect to see at FSU or Clemson, not Duke. D Bryant had some great games, he just didn't get much help from the other side of the ball.
Our defensive line was absolute pitiful. Alex Green was a great safety, but our corners were pretty bad. If the rest of the team was like out LBs, we would have a great defense. Too bad it's not, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
BTW, forgot to mention this, but the transfer QB at Rutgers has been turning some heads big time. His name is Chris Dapolito, and he was supposed to be good at Rutgers, except, IIRC, the coach's son took his spot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
If you haven't been able to tell yet, I am a die hard Duke football junkie/fan. I can name every player in Duke's recruiting class from last year at the drop of a hat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
