Duke football is in an interesting place right now. The rainy, come-from-behind-win at Miami was Duke’s sixth win of the season, making Duke bowl eligible.
Again.
And coming to town is a 1-7 team.
A perfect recipe for a letdown.
But, of course, that 1-7 team is North Carolina, Duke’s arch-rival, the hated Tar Heels.
David Cutcliffe’s Tuesday media conference was full of praise for Carolina, great coaching, great talent, big, strong, fast, skilled, so much coach-speak that Cutcliffe had to deny that he was using coach-speak.
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a point.
