Duke Football: Blue Devils ready for big challenge without star players

It’ll be an uphill challenge for Head Coach David Cutcliffe and the rest of the Duke Blue Devils as they head down to Waco, Texas to face the Baylor Bears on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams are entering this game at 2-0 on the season and have yet to play a conference game, despite the Blue Devils having faced much tougher opponents than the Bears.

However, the Blue Devils will line up a little different this Saturday with the absence of quarterback Daniel Jones and cornerback Mark Gilbert.

Both players were injured over the win against Northwestern, Jones suffered a broken clavicle which he had surgery on and will be out indefinitely.
