Entering the game, Duke lost 28 straight games against teams ranked in the AP top 10.
It’s everything. There are so few high points in modern Duke football history, and one of those was the 1989 season — which just so happens to be the last time the Blue Devils knocked off a top-10 team. Even the 2013 team that reached the ACC championship game didn’t accomplish something like this; it was quite a feat, but so many of us chalked it up to the Coastal division being wide-open and relatively weak on an annual basis.There’s no denying what we witnessed on Monday night.
Well, I’m not ready to say Duke is going to contend for an ACC title this year or sniff the College Football Playoff. But Elko took over a team that had previously won three games — and went 9-4 in Year 1. And Year 2 has now begun with a top-10 win in front of a national audience in a game that had Monday night to itself. We all saw Leonard, one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC, show why he could be one of the nation’s top QBs. We saw the physicality and aggressiveness in Duke’s defense.
