Duke has a chance to turn around its once-promising season Saturday night, at Miami.
Sound familiar?
I seem to recall writing something along those lines last season. And the season before.
October has not been kind to Duke in recent years. The Blue Devils are 2-9 over the last three Octobers.
The loss to Pitt was a strange one. Almost every Blue Devil who touched the ball on offense established some kind of record, including running back Deon Jackson and his school-record 403 all-purpose yards.
And still, Duke found a way to lose, a porous defense seemingly unable to stop anything the Panthers were doing.
