Can Duke football handle success?
It’s not like they’ve had a lot of recent opportunities to refine that particular skill.
They’ve certainly had lots of recent opportunities to respond to failure. And they haven’t done well in that area. As I’ve mentioned before, one of the goals for this year’s team was to a better job of responding to adversity.
There was lots of adversity early. That loss to Charlotte looked bad a the time but looks even worse in light of Charlotte’s 20-9 loss to Georgia State last weekend.
But Duke got off the mat with consecutive wins over North Carolina A&T and Northwestern.
