One of the best parts about asking David Cutcliffe quarterback questions is that the 62-year-old can reach into his treasure trove of stories and come up with a situation to draw from for his day job as Duke’s coach.
Even now, as his Blue Devils try to find themselves amid a 1-2 start with a redshirt freshman quarterback, Cutcliffe can point to a time that was more fragile than the predicament he’s currently in.
Even when he had Peyton Manning.
Cutcliffe, the quarterback guru and Manning family confidant, has helped ease in new Duke starter Daniel Jones ahead of Saturday’s trip to Notre Dame.
