I emailed something similar to a friend after the game. I look at it this way: Last year the Cats actually *lost* to Duke and still went on to put together a very entertaining and moderately successful season. By pulling out the win (on the road no less), we're already a step ahead of last year. 

Not pretty, but the defense should take away some sense of satisfaction at turning Duke back twice down the stretch, with no help from the NU offense. Much work to be done, but I'm still optimistic.
