For Duke football, it's
nice to see a sense of optimism again. Coach Carl Franks thinks that it's
not too big of a stretch for Duke to be bowl-eligible, and with virtually the
entire team returning, and five losses by less than five points, maybe he's
right. The defense is solidifying under Ted Roof, and the overall
athleticism of the team is dramatically improved. Plus a team which was
extremely young last year is now of course a year older. All in all, it's
going to be more interesting for Duke than it has been for some time.
