Firing up a thread for coverage leading up to Friday night's game, and then for coverage afterward, too.
As something of a programming note for today and the week: Manny Diaz's press conference will be today at 1 p.m., followed by interviews with both coordinators, so I'll have content up with them later today/tonight. I'll have a 5 things to know about Elon, a comprehensive preview of the game, maybe another story squeezed in (it's a short week, shorter on the WF side, so I might not get to everything). And then I'll be at Friday night's game for full coverage.
This will be an interesting season for Duke. I think they're a little better than some are giving them credit for. But it's a new staff and I don't know how well some of the pieces are going to fit in the new system. And while the schedule is manageable for the non-conference (first 4 games), Duke's ACC schedule looks brutal.
In case you've missed any of the main things to know so far, some links to catch you up:
Maalik Murphy's adjustment that won him the starting QB job.
3 glass-half-full predictions | 3 glass-half-empty predictions
Duke's remade OL was a "pleasant surprise" of fall camp.
Not related to the game, but big news on the recruiting front.
