Y'all have had our number over the past few years and I honestly predicted a NW win today. I think of Fitzgerald and Cutcliffe as similar coaches who prioritize character, fundamentals and discipline over the often nauseating glitz and glamour you find at a lot of the elite programs (or even at the Duke basketball program).
The only critical thing I want to say is that it doesn't seem like many here are aware that the Duke program isn't what it was before Cut came here. No P5 team should ever get blown out by Duke? We won 27 games in 3 years (2013-2015) and blew out teams like Miami, NC State, UVA, Georgia Tech and others. We played in the ACC Championship Game a few years ago and went to 4 straight bowl games, beating a Big 10 team to cap it off.
You lost to a good team today with a QB who will get Heisman hype before he graduates. A little credit to Duke might help the loss go down more smoothly. Believe me - Duke fans know plenty about dealing with bad losses.
