1/Surf, you're like me- you DO NOT "hate to jump in." You love to talk and debate Duke football. You know your subject quite well, and much admiration and respect to you sir(Same salute also much directed at pal @Devilinside ). All of you guys are good people, DUKE FOOTBALL DIEHARDS like me!!so couple if things.
i hate to jump in on this but Grayson was not excellent vs unc. he was 16-28 for 189. thats it. yes he had 3 short td passes but they were set up by our running game which rushed for 179 yds.
2/ Performance is sometimes more than just PURE NUMBERS. The fact is, Grayson's game and/or game management vs UNC was good enough to outduel the Tar Heels, had the DEFENSE played better. At the end of the day, Loftis convinced myself(and some ex-Duke players I know), he was a capable replacement for Riley Leonard. The promise was displayed for a successful sophomore campaign.
3/Ultimately #InMannyITrust, and 9-3 is successful at most schools, especially Dear Old Duke.
