[NU Sports] Whew!

Cutcliffe has a good chance of turning Duke into a decent team, especially
on offense.  Whether they can compete for the ACC title in a few years 
remains to be seen.  (And whether 'decent' will be enough for their fans 
is another issue.)

Dave Eanet kept pointing that out, I think Duke had over 90 plays on
offense to NU's 60 or so.  

That's the downside of the no-huddle offense.  Yes, it can wear out the
other team's defense (as it seemed to a week ago), but it can also cause 
your defense to get tired if there are a lot of 3-and-outs on offense.  

Did anyone notice that we now have one vote in the coaches poll?
