Agree.
Everybody thinks we will be able to run on these guys, eliminate the turnovers and this is a very winnable game.

We have a good chance to win the Duke game. . Winners big season we need this game. It is up to Tanner, our offensive lineman ,receivers,and tight ends to win this game. If not another disaster season..

Take away Tanner's 4 picks, one for a TD, and a "wacky Tulane special teams play" for a Duke TD and last year's game was a lot closer than the score. Everyone seems to agree we can run on these guys & let's hope their first time starter @ QB chokes it on the road. Can't believe we will play so stupid this year for our home opener at Yulman! :D

Tulane "low lights" for last year's game per Duke Report: The fourth quarter featured a Bryon Fields pick six and a wacky special teams play that ended with running back Joseph Ajeigbe intercepting a throw and running it in for a touchdown.

Everyone here keeps talking up the fact that the QB is new. Yes, their starter from last year graduated, but the guy who is taking the helm is in his 4th year at Duke, and has played in (mostly running) spots. He's at least a year older than Tanner Lee, without any starts, but with more football under his belt.

Logan's out DiRocco will start. Let's hope it goes this smoothly in the real game:

Hopefully they have only one good wide receiver, we are strong in the secondary.

I'm optimistic that DiRocco can be a reliable kicker inside of 40 for us this year. If you look back only a few years ago Santos finished 2011 going 11-18 for 61.1% with a long of 39 yds. I'm not saying DiRocco will be perfect this year, but he certainly is capable of hitting at least 80% inside of 40 yds.

I understand their QB is both quick and fast. Also they have good running backs. I thus assume that they will primarily keep the ball on the ground and pass only to keep us off balance.

Are they going to have a band on the quad? They should have a big name New Orleans band, and for homecoming they should have Dr. Dr. John on the quad, if he's up to it.

Local cable provider does not carry CBS Sports. Anyone know how or where to access radio streaming including maybe
a Duke station? Thanks

Wow the NIMBY's complaining about our two night practices. CJ's response, "We're trying to win a football game".

They are no longer NIMBY's. At this point you have to call them what they are, which is neighbors. That said, fuck 'em.
God Bless Everyone!

Duke was picked 6th out of 7 teams in their division of the ACC by Athlon.

Disappointed with the "far from a sellout stuff" for the article, TPS, about how many tickets have been sold?
