They say that fourth place is the worst place to finish in an Olympic competition.
So close.
I guess that makes 5-7 the worst record for a college football team, especially when two of those losses were gift-wrapped in the dying seconds.
If we go back to the summer lots of people were projecting something in the 5-7 range for a young Duke football team. Perhaps it shouldn’t sting so much. But I guarantee you that no one in the program shares that sentiment. Wins over Virginia Tech and Miami showed the potential for a much better 2019 record, as a 4-2 start fell apart.
