Blue Devils rise to second in nation in turnover margin

By GoDuke The Magazine

No Duke fan wants a reminder of the Blue Devils’ turnover woes over the past couple of seasons.

Two years ago Duke’s offense dubiously led the country in both fumbles lost (20) and passes intercepted (19) for a total of 39 giveaways in 11 games. The defense did not come close to neutralizing that figure with its 20 takeaways. About the best thing you could say of the situation is that with the covid pandemic in full swing, there were no witnesses in the stands for most of the games.
