Last season, Duke football surprised a lot of people by finishing 9-4, including a win in the Military Bowl.
Mike Elko was named ACC Coach of the Year and also signed to an extension by Duke.
Riley Leonard emerged as a really good quarterback and now a junior, has even been mentioned as a possible Heisman candidate.
And now, the Blue Devils open Year II of the Elko era with vastly higher expectations and with the Clemson Tigers in the house too.
Could they pull it off?
Clemson has been a monster program for a while now but it’s not near the peak it was a few years ago.
