Duke Football: Injuries derailed what could have been special season

It had all the makings of a promising year for the Duke Football team.

They had a veteran quarterback, veteran weapons on the outside, and veteran players leading the defense, but after a victory in the Walk-On’s Independence Bowl it felt like this season could have been bigger and better for the Blue Devils.

All things seemed well in Durham after the first four games of the season. The Blue Devils defeated Army, Northwestern, Baylor, and North Carolina Central in convincing fashion, despite the injury to Daniel Jones half way through the second game of the season.
