The Duke football program has been forced to adjust its early season schedule because of the coronavirus pandemic.

There will undoubtedly be many twists and turns throughout this 2020 college football season and the Duke Blue Devils already have its first adjustment of the year before kickoff in Week 1.

On Saturday morning it was reported that the Virginia Tech Hokies would not be able to play in its September 19 game against the Virginia Cavaliers because of positive COVID-19 tests within its football program.
