Duke Highlights
- Thread starter kreggk
- Start date
Looks like EIU, Tulane, and NC Central all share one roster.
They've thrown the ball 35 times a game while playing mediocre competition. Will be interesting to see how that holds up against a decent defense.

They look about as great as Stanford looked on Saturday. Its gonna b a tough game and im not surprised we are dogs, but they havent met Mr Walker yet.
That game was 16-0 with 13 minutes to go. Tulane then went Keystone Cops on a few plays, and Duke blew it up with 3 scores.
I don't doubt that Duke will test the Cats, but the Tulane highlights don't tell us a whole lot.

That kick returner scares me. In what will likely be a close game, we can't afford to give up big plays on special teams, like in the Minnesota game last year. Our kicker needs to start sending kickoffs through the endzone.
Tulane is FBS. Wait, is my humor meter broken again??
At least I'm aware it might be.
Of course, they are....not only that, they play in the "Big East" (now called AAC) which not that long ago was supposedly a major conference (not that everyone agreed)....others include Cinci, Memphis, Navy and Houston... Rutgers and Louisville are recent defections. Tulane hasn't done that well, since they moved up from C-USA...perhaps are still adjusting to the stronger competition.
And why would Duke schedule TWO FCS teams, in the same season, anyhow?...would that even be allowed?
I think you can schedule more than one FCS team, but only count the victory from one game towards bowl eligibility.............which is why no one schedules more than one.
I think you're right about the rule, but BC opened this year against two FCS schools in Maine and Howard. Makes no sense to me unless maybe they had another opponent pull out at the last minute and could only get an FCS team to fill that spot on their schedule.
Edit: That actually is pretty much what happened - link

Howard was so bad, the two coaches agreed to play 10 minute quarters in the 2nd half! Never seen that before.
I guess someone stepped on your humor meter and completely crushed it. I said that they played two FCS teams since Tulane plays like an FCS team-- Get it? Meh, if the joke has to be explained I guess it isn't funny.
