Duke Football: Wednesday Notes

Raise your hand if you had Duke a six-point favorite over Virginia Tech at the beginning of the season.

Liar, liar.

Nobody saw VT being in a position to play the we-don’t-get-no-respect card.

Duke has earned its stripes, 4-0, a win over Army that looks more impressive every day and two road wins as underdogs against teams from Power-5 conferences.

But, oh, the Hokies. They jumped in the rankings after opening with a 24-3 win over a Florida State team that hasn’t impressed anyone recently. But they plummeted after last weekend’s 49-35 debacle at Old Dominion, a game that put ODU football on the national map for the first time in, well, forever.
