A Look At Just What Duke Did In The Baylor Game

Duke’s win over Baylor was remarkable given the circumstances.

Duke had to leave early due to the hurricane, had to practice on a high school field, was missing several key players due to injuries and shortly before the game co-defensive coordinator Matt Guerrieri learned his father had died. We’re sure his grief was profound but he decided to keep it to himself so that his personal tragedy didn’t affect the group as a whole which is admirably selfless. No one would have expected him to do that, least of all head coach David Cutcliffe.

An inexperienced back-up quarterback was key in helping the Blue Devils to hang 40 on the Bears and a defense distinctly lacking in experience dominated Baylor.
