Depth. That’s been one of David Cutcliffe’s mantras since his first day at Duke. Recruit depth, develop depth, play depth.
That depth is going to be tested big time as Duke’s injury-plagued 2018 season develops.
“It’s not Pollyanna,” Cutcliffe says, “but this is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity for Duke football, it’s an opportunity for the program. I’m not trying to minimize anything that has happened but every one of these circumstances, but if you’re a competitor, it’s an opportunity.”
We’ve talked a lot in the last few days about Mark Gilbert’s season-ending hip injury and Daniel Jones’s clavicle injury.
