They must have ran that high school quick pitch play 20 times. At first I thought it was cause they were playing Prairie View and didn't want to open up the playbook. Then they kept running it while they were down 9 in the 2nd half. That stuff has no chance of working against even mediocre FBS defenses.

I think we need to wait and see what players they are able to recruit

It's gonna have to be a big step up from what they've been able to recruit for the last 15 years if they want to have a chance to make it work.

Yo, but Duke is still relevant now and was 65 years ago. What's your point?

Duke went 40 years without playing a bowl, have only finished the season ranked once since the early 1940's (and that was like #25), has won one ACC championship since JFK was assassinated. Since 1990, Duke has finished with 4 or fewer wins an astounding 21 times (four were winless) and only 4 winning records. Duke is not relevant.

Anyway, what does Duke have to do with Rice 65 years ago?

But Duke is in the ACC, they are a P5, they must be relevant.......

if that's the case, then sure. Can't really argue that. As relevant as Vanderbilt and Kansas.

yea, define relevant ...?
If you take away the basketball brand, I put money on that nobody outside of the ACC would have any knowledge of the dookies.

Duke is more relevant then Kentucky, Ole Miss, Vandy, Miss St, NC State, Virginia.... At least Duke has played for an ACC football championship.

If they could've kept Spurrier no telling how good they could've become.

When Spurrier coached at Florida, he always gave Duke a preseason vote for giving him his first HC job.

And ALL of those schools are international brands

IIRC, Mississippi State was ranked #1 for several weeks 2-3 seasons ago. However, using your criteria, KANSAS is more relevant than all the above combined. Kansas.

Let that sink in a minute.

I still fail to see how Duke (or anyone else mentioned above) has anything to do with Rice's accomplishments 65 years ago.
