[NU Sports] Whew!

The big breaks: (3) long Duke passes that should have been  caught for TD's, 
and the obvious; the snap went over the punter's head.
   But we made it tight at the end with a silly procedure penalty  on Demos' 
wonderful punt.  But, we kept 'em out, time and time  again. Also, Ross Lane 
was wonderful in the 1st half, and disappeared  in the 2nd.  DU was also stout 
against the run all night. Duke held a  40-20 possession advantage, moved the 
ball well until they hit our 30 yard  line.  Granted, Duke should have popped 
a few big ones, but I think it's  safe to say our defense has made strides.  
After the 36-31 win against  Nevada last year, most of  us saw that our defense 
still needed a lot  of help when compared against the 2006 season.
   My view: Duke didn't lose the game,  our courageous  defense won it.  Our 
boys really dug in tonight.
