FOOTBALL SBNation preview of MT opponent Duke

[SpaceRaider]

gives Duke 71% probability of win over MT, projected margin near 10 points

Duke’s steady and full of upside in football. We don’t talk enough about how wild that is

That’s pretty bold considering duke has to replace Daniel jones. I like our chances at home

That’s pretty bold considering MT has to replace Brent and Stock has to match wits with Cutcliffe.

Ohara or Johnson is more than capable of giving Duke's D problems. Brent was great an all but he made plenty of boneheaded plays. How many pick sixes or near pick sixes did he throw? If our speed is upgraded as advertised, we will play better than most people expect.

I cannot believe a sports writer would praise Cutcliffe for such mediocrity.

 

[blueraiderJT]

I think it's the "I recruited and coached Peyton Manning" thing.

 

[cipman2000]

Let’s just beat Duke! Just win baby! 2019 is the year this program bursts on the national scene!

I cannot believe a sports writer would praise Cutcliffe for such mediocrity.

Yet we have a HC who is barely >.500 and we praise him with a $6.6 million golden parachute with rollovers and bonuses for “competing”.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Cutcliffe is the most winningest coach in modern Duke history (last 50 years or more maybe). Winning at a P5 ACC private school in Football with strict admittance is an amazing accomplishment. I know it's not quite as awesome as our CUSA record but...

 

[MTTim]

Cutcliffe would win big here.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Cutcliffe would win big here.

Cutcliffe was one of the three finalists named when MT selected Andy McCollum as the first 1A coach here (the other finalist was Rich Rodriguez).

 

[blueraiderJT]

We romanced the hell out of Cut. Just wasn't enough and we had no money.

I think the fix was in for mccollum...
