There's no question that Duke has hit a rough spot.
Three weeks ago, the Duke football team was coming off of a thrilling OT win against Virginia Tech to earn its sixth win and become bowl eligible. It was nationally ranked, atop the Coastal Division of the ACC and on its way to a potentially major bowl game (probably not the BCS playoffs, but one that would occur later in the Bowl season). Three weeks later, Duke has fallen to 6-4, and appears to be limping towards the finish line. What once looking liked a promising season with a potential return to the ACC Championship game now seems like a season that will be somewhat of a disappointment.
