Sometimes when you are researching and grinding in the late hours you miss some things, and this was a big one. In the preview, I should have mentioned that Duke’s star and lead running back Jela Duncan tore an Achilles tendon on Saturday.
The injury is season ending because it took surgery to fix, but it is also the end of his collegiate career, which is truly sad. Injuries are part of football, all of us who played sport some sort of bump, scar, or gimp from the thrill of playing full contact football; but no one wants to see this sort of injury occur.
