Next Up For Duke Football: Lafayette

Date 9/9 || Time 6:00 || Venue Wallace Wade || Video ACCNX

Duke fans have spent the week exulting about the win over Clemson and almost no one that we have seen has said a word about Lafayette.

And we really hope the team is more focused than the fans are.

Lafayette could be a classic trap game. A member of the Patriot League, power conference teams may not have much awareness of Lafayette, but the school has a distinguished history. It was the first non-Ivy League team to win a national championship (1896) and Lafayette was where the huddle was invented and was the first school to try to protect player’s heads.
