A New Era For Duke Football Starts Friday Evening

Temple and Duke square off on Friday, each with a new coach.

David Cutcliffe, who had a remarkable run at Duke until the last couple of years, is out, replaced by Mike Elko, previously an assistant at Texas Tech. He also worked at Notre Dame and Wake Forest.

And Temple went Lone Star too, hiring Stan Drayton away from the Longhorns.

Last year, Duke was awful on on defense and Temple was equally bad on offense. Elko was a defensive coordinator; Drayton worked with running backs at Texas and also for Ohio State and the Chicago Bears.
