I haven’t posted since the game because I wanted to watch it first. It seemed like we were the keystone cops on both sides of the ball, but we weren’t 38-3 bad.  A lot went wrong.   A bit of it I put on Dixon, who like vs Conn, did not call a great game.  Most is on Cook and the defense.  But we moved the ball at the start of the game, and got down to the 6 yard line the next drive and came away with just three points.   If we were up 14-3 maybe the game goes differently.

About staring down receivers. I am not a big fan of Ricky‘s and not too optimistic going forward, but in reality, for the most part, he hit open receivers, and was fairly accurate.   While he may have been staring down receivers, and it may bite him worse in the future, no Duke defender was able to jump a route for a pick.  And he completed 65%, so not something Duke really took advantage of.

Before the game, I think 90% of us would say that 24 for 37 for 229 yards and an interception that wasn’t really his fault would be more than acceptable, especially considering what most of us expected.   That kind of production with our running game should’ve been enough for a 27-24 type victory, if our defense had half a clue..
