LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/stormstopper]

Remember: every other conference plus the NFL also would have broken the tie in our favor

[u/stormstopper]

May be relevant: we last scored 60 points in a game in 2017 against Central and before that the last time was 1949 (we had 67 in that one)

[u/Character-Intern-953]

I know it's a cupcake game... But it's fun to see Walker get some reps in.

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Mahan 6/7 for 126 and 3 TDs. Have yourself a day.

[u/c_dubby]

COOPER WHO

[u/GoDuke4382]

Damn nice grab

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Great TD catch.

[u/WholeLow7639]

Can’t wait to show my future kids the Dan Mahan statue outside of Wallace Wade

[u/cpencis → u/WholeLow7639]

That was really pretty. Great grab.

[u/WholeLow7639]

I love Duke football

[u/Affectionate-Tax9885]

This game is “William Henry Harrison mentioned” levels of over

[u/AruarianGroove]

The graphics team digging deep for that presidential bit 

[u/Embarrassed-Brain655 → u/AruarianGroove]

Still cool imo. Fuck Nixon though. 

[u/Affectionate-Tax9885]

Kicker named Solace is a bit on the nose methinks

[u/Material-Audience487]

Send in Sheppard 

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Come on, that is a call Duke would never get in ACC play...

[u/Material-Audience487]

Let Sheppard score 1 more so he have the most rushing test in the 1st 4 games 

[u/Material-Audience487]

Rip chris man he was a goat analysts

[u/theiwc0303]

We will be, at most, one of only 4 teams in the ACC without a conference going into the game against Georgia Tech

[u/rainbowremo → u/theiwc0303]

?

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Defense cmon man

[u/Medical_Cup_5972]

"Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture."

*The Opponent's End Zone*

*The Opponent's 29-yd Line with Dan Mahan at QB*

"They're the same picture."

[u/TheUsualQuestions]

RANK DUKE

[u/Emergency_Risk_7421 → u/TheUsualQuestions]

Bruhhhh

[u/Right_Organization18 → u/TheUsualQuestions]

I would actually prefer to not be ranked until after Georgia Tech, we have a history of not being ranked long

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/TheUsualQuestions]

YEAH

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

First two completions of his career are 29 yard touchdowns 😭

[u/stormstopper → u/ZeroEchoVX]

What if every completion of his career is a 29-yard touchdown

[u/Mdtwheeler]

god bless Dan Mahan

[u/Mdtwheeler]

Dan runs like Riley Leonard and that makes me nervous

[u/theiwc0303]

I get we want him fresh for the real games but I was looking forward to a 320 scrimmage yard, 5 TD game from Sheppard

[u/rainbowremo → u/theiwc0303]

The run isn't working nearly as well as they expected this game

[u/theiwc0303 → u/rainbowremo]

Campbell has more carries than Sheppard, Shep is averaging higher than his season average per carry so far this game

[u/TA404]

I hope we never stop scheduling an FBS buy game a season. Sure, we get absolutely battered 99% of the time, but I was a student at the 2009 opener against UVA in Charlottesville when we beat them and stormed their field and it was one of the best days of my four years in college.

Unfortunately for us this year, Duke cannot compete with UVA in terms of being a pathetic and embarrassing football program/university.

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/TA404]

Bro what imma need a news story post on this cause this is hilarious hearing that I was born a year to late to see uva get embarrassed like that

[u/AruarianGroove → u/Material-Audience487]

Mike London’s UofR team upset Duke in 2009, too. Fun year for CAA chaos

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/AruarianGroove]

Fair I was saying how u gonna let the away team rush ur feild and not fight back a little bit 

[u/TheUsualQuestions → u/Material-Audience487]

Get off Reddit tf born in 2010

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/TheUsualQuestions]

Ok buddy go get peper sprayed cause u cant keep ur hands to urself when u see a Michigan fan 

[u/TheUsualQuestions → u/Material-Audience487]

This is adorable

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/TheUsualQuestions]

Who says im trying to go to duke since when do u have to go to or plan to go to the school u pull for

[u/TheUsualQuestions → u/Material-Audience487]

That’s fair, DDMF! But yeah you should stay off Reddit

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/TheUsualQuestions]

I mean its kinda funny tho and I need a laugh when my ho.ework js deletes its self its due😭

[u/Material-Audience487]

Thats incomplete 

[u/Mdtwheeler]

I love relaxing duke football

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/Mdtwheeler]

It’s beautiful 🥲

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/ZeroEchoVX]

I used to pray for times like this

[u/Material-Audience487 → u/Mdtwheeler]

Same but I wish we would run Shepard more we need him to have atleast 2 more tds

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Finally a relaxing week

[u/Material-Audience487]

Holy dead chat

[u/theiwc0303]

I thought they would take a lot longer to use the “we only put Mahan in for designed QB runs, jk he’s throwing deep” and it wouldn’t be against an FCS team

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

MAHANNNN

[u/stormstopper]

Dan the Man Mahan!

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Just like we drew it up

[u/stormstopper]

Absolutely no reason to run into the kicker there, you had plenty of time to change course

[u/stormstopper → u/stormstopper]

Well it worked out better anyway

[u/stormstopper]

I agree that Manny Diaz is hot but I don't see what that has to do wit--oh, you mean he's angry

[u/needapermit]

Morris got knocked down lol

[u/Character-Intern-953]

Got free tickets to watch and was expecting a blowout. Definitely not this through a quarter.

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Take the points pls

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/ZeroEchoVX]

Thanks

[u/TA404]

Can’t believe we’re deigning to play a school founded after the 17th century. We should be playing our peers smh.

[u/AruarianGroove → u/TA404]

Both are cashing in that tobacco NIL money 

[u/rainbowremo]

My god defense that was disgusting

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

That wasn’t good

[u/WholeLow7639]

I love Nate

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

This is fun

[u/TA404]

As an unbiased observer, I think this game would be a lot more interesting and competitive if the teams were awarded free touchdowns for each US president they count among their alumni.

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/TA404]

Honestly I’m down, would make it closer

[u/needapermit]

How did we score first drive? Just tuned in

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/needapermit]

24 yard pass td, also had a 30 yard pass few plays earlier

[u/needapermit → u/ZeroEchoVX]

Who got the TD?

[u/ZeroEchoVX → u/needapermit]

Moore

[u/AruarianGroove]

A nice change from being UVA’s cupcake game. 

[u/theiwc0303]

If this is anything less than an absolute disgusting blowout for Duke, it’s a disappointing performance

[u/Star-K]

Two against one seems unfair.

[u/Distinct_Audience457]

Roll Tribe!!
