Quarterback
/ Offense |
Quarterback
Anthony Boone is beginning
to flourish in Coach Cutcliffe's
system. When coaches want
a change of pace they
still have Connette as
a running option. Both
are legit senior competitors.
This is a balanced offense
however and the running
game will continue to
be respectable while the
offensive line has made
some great strides. Expect
this offense to be even
better on this next attempt.
Jamison Crowser is poised
to be both an All-American
receiver and punt returner.

Defensive
Line / Cornerback |
Duke
is dealing with some big
time losses up front on
defense with these linemen
as three full-time starters
will need replaced. This
defense has issues stopping
opponents via the ground
or air and the pass rush
has been poor. Gone are
both quality corners,
which includes senior
leader Ross Cockrell,
making a return trip the
ACC Championship Game
a difficult task. Duke
will still have to outscore
most opponents. |
