Okay, class. Today’s lesson is on Overcoming Adversity.
An introduction.
One of the points of emphasis for this year’s Duke football team is overcoming adversity.
No one could deny the necessity of that emphasis. Last year Duke would all too often let a bad play turn into a bad series, a bad series turn into a bad quarter, a bad quarter turn into a bad half, a bad half turn into a bad game, a bad game turn into a bad season. Once Duke went into a downward spiral, it didn’t seem to be able to pull out of that spiral.
