We played badly in all three phases yesterday. It happens. . Flush it and move on.  Field position played a big part of our failures.  Duke started each series in excellent position. I dont think we started any possesion over our own 30 and most of them were inside the 20.  Thats a tough road for a new QB.  Steve looked rough his first few outings and it finally clicked for him against Clemson.  Rickie is going to need time. I expect him and as importantly Nixon to learn from this game as well as next week against SMU.   When Steve went down our season didnt end but it was certainly hurt.  Rickie has a strong arm but he doesnt see the field as well as Steve and most likely never will.  QB vision can be improved but at this point in his career your kind of are what you are.  In the practices I watched Rickie has always had a trouble throwing over the middle.  Again the vision thing.  He doesnt see trouble over the middle and because of that it takes away a big part of our O.  Not sure how that gets fixed.  He does throw a nice deep ball but our lack of field position hurt us.  I do think he is going to improve how much remains to be seen but he will get better.  As to the D i have no idea why they laid such an egg yesterday.  More on that later.
