At Duke University, student-athletes are awarded
the best possible college experience with a first
rate combination of academics and athletics and
have accepted the task of upholding the strong
traditions put forth by their predecessors.
THE MISSION OF DUKE UNIVERSITY
James B. Duke’s founding Indenture of Duke University directed
the members of the University to “provide real leadership in the
educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty;
by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and
application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our
wisdom, and promote human happiness.”
To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate students, attending not
only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as
adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation
as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the
learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the
frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international
community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment
built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who
suffer, cure disease, and promote health, through sophisticated
medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide
ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses,
for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners
using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep
appreciation for the range of human difference and potential, a sense
of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to
learning, freedom and truth.
By pursuing these objectives with vision and integrity, Duke University seeks to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and stimulate the
best effort of all who are associated with the University; to contribute
in diverse ways to the local community, the state, the nation and
the world; and to attain and maintain a place of real leadership in
all that we do.

„ Duke University was created in 1924 by James
Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. The Dukes, a Durham family who built
a worldwide financial empire in the manufacture of
tobacco and developed the production of electricity
in the two Carolinas, had long been interested in Trinity College. Trinity traced its roots to 1838 in nearby
Randolph County when local Methodist and Quaker
communities joined forces to support a permanent
school, which they named Union Institute. After a
brief period as Normal College (1851-59), the school
changed its name to Trinity College in 1859 and affiliated with the Methodist Church.
„ The college moved to Durham in 1892 with finan-
cial assistance from Washington Duke and the donation of land by Julian S. Carr. In December 1924, the
school’s trustees gratefully accepted the provisions
of James B. Duke’s indenture creating the family
philanthropic foundation, The Duke Endowment,
which provided, in part, for the expansion of Trinity
College into Duke University.
„ As a result of the Duke gift, Trinity underwent
both physical and academic expansion. The original
Durham Campus became known as East Campus
when it was rebuilt in stately Georgian architecture.
West Campus, Gothic in style and dominated by the
soaring 210-foot tower of Duke Chapel, opened in
1930. Academic expansion of the university included
the establishment of new graduate and professional
schools.
„ Modern times have seen Duke realize its founder’s
aspirations to become a major center of learning.
The Duke University Medical Center has achieved
international prominence, and many Duke schools
and departments are consistently ranked among the
nation’s best.

The average temperature in
Durham is 59 degrees and snowfall
totals less than eight inches per year.
A temperate climate and the unique
blend of big-city activity with an
unfrenzied pace makes Durham a
great place to call home.
„
„ The Durham Bulls, Tampa Bay’s
AAA baseball affiliate, are a popular
attraction among area
residents.
20
In 2002, Employment Review Magazine ranked
“The Triangle” area of Durham, Chapel Hill and
Raleigh as the number one place in America to
live and work. Money Magazine made the same
selection in 1994.
„ Located in the heart of North Carolina’s rolling
Piedmont region, Durham stands out as a gem among
southern cities. Through the years, the city has evolved
from a tobacco and textile town into an international
center for medicine, scholarship, biotechnology and
electronics.
„ Founded in 1853, Durham is widely recognized for
its diversity. Originally a manufacturing center, the city
now is known for excellence in medicine, education,
research and industry. The wide range of activities available in the area lends the city a multifaceted appeal that
strikes even first-time visitors.
„ Durham has a natural appeal as well, characterized
by 98,000 acres of hardwood and evergreen forests
including the only remaining old growth Piedmont bottomland forests and 7,800 acres of cropland. Hills and
dales, meandering rivers and streams, several lakes, 26
rare plant species and several rare species of birds and
animals can also be found here.
„ With 187,000 residents in the one-city county, Durham
is the fourth-largest city in North Carolina. It is ideally
located on the large and small scale. Within the immediate area it stands as the pinnacle of the “Triangle”
region of North Carolina, a metropolitan population of
1,000,000 people that includes Chapel Hill to the south
and west and Raleigh, the state capital, to the south and
east. On a regional level, this area is the primary center
of culture, sports, education and government between
Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.
„ With excellent sports and cultural activities in the
„ Brightleaf Square, shown above,
in downtown Durham is a turnof-the-century tobacco warehouse
renovated as a unique shopping,
dining and entertainment district.
area, Durham is a fun place to be. People from all walks
of life — academic, industrial, professional, agricultural
— blend to provide a warm, rich sense of hospitality
and diversity.
21
From the mountains to the west and the beaches of the
Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina’s landscape is as
diverse — and beautiful — as any state in the nation.
Millions of tourists come to North Carolina each year to
take advantage of all the state has to offer.
22
„ North Carolina is a state of diversity — diversity in
its population, in its economic production and in its
beautiful scenery. According to the 2000 census, North
Carolina was the home to more than eight million
people of many nationalities.
„ Known for its major production of tobacco, North
Carolina is also a major producer of textiles and furniture, fueled by the thousands of acres of forests that
cover the state. Among its other leading products are
broilers, hogs, turkeys, greenhouse products, sweet
potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts and eggs. In addition,
there are hundreds of coastal fisheries that yield shrimp,
menhaden and crabs as the primary catches.
„ The scenery throughout the state is diverse and
beautiful. From the mountains to the west and the
beaches adjoining the Atlantic Ocean to the east,
North Carolina is one of the nation’s most picturesque states. Some of the major attractions
in the state include the Great Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge National Parkway, the
Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National
Seashores, the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kitty Hawk, Guilford Courthouse
and Moores Creek National Military Parks.
This scenery, enhanced by a mild climate with
enough rainfall to assist with the state’s abundant
greenery, attracts millions of visitors who come to
North Carolina annually to take advantage of its clean
and uncluttered beaches, its string of forests and the
mountain ranges in the western part of the state.
„ In recent years, North Carolina has become a favor-
ite place for the entertainment industry. Some of the
television shows and movies filmed in North Carolina
include Cast Away (2001), The Green Mile (1999), Dawson’s Creek (1997-2003), Kiss the Girls (1997), I Know
What You Did Last Summer (1997), Forrest Gump
(1998), The Fugitive (1993), The Last of the Mohicans
(1992), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), Bull Durham
(1988) and Dirty Dancing (1987).

„ In August of 2002, the Duke football program moved
into a new home — The Yoh Football Center. Located in
the northeast corner of Wallace Wade Stadium, the $22 million, 70,000-square foot facility is named for the Yoh Family
on the strength of Trustee Chairman Spike Yoh and Mary
Milus Yoh’s lead gift of $5.5 million.
„ The state-of-the art facility features a speed and agility
room, lockerroom, coaches offices, a players’ lounge
and a memorabilia floor. The completion of
the building was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting dinner on August 30 — the
night before Duke opened the 2002
season with a 24-16 victory over East
Carolina — and a dedication dinner
on October 4 during Homecoming
Weekend.
35
36
„ Over 750 gifts were received to fund the building of the Yoh
Center, with over half coming from former Blue Devil football
players. The Duke Football Campaign, the fund-raising effort for
the facility, was spearheaded by the late Dr. Frank Bassett along
with Leo Hart. Bassett, who served as Duke’s team physician from
1966-93, was honored by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors with the organization’s 2002 Volunteer of the
Year Award. Hart, one of just three three-time first team All-ACC
selections in Duke history, played quarterback for the Blue Devils
from 1968-70 and continues to rank among the school’s all-time
passing leaders. In addition, tremendous support was given by
the Gridiron Society which is chaired by Dr. Bob Deyton.
37
Wallace Wade Stadium also owns a special niche
in college football history in that it is the only
facility outside Pasadena, Calif., to host the Rose
Bowl. The 1942 Rose Bowl came to Durham during World War II when gatherings of large crowds
on the West Coast were dangerous. Oregon State
defeated Duke 20-16 in the contest.
Today, in honor of that occasion, rose bushes from
the Tournament of Roses Committee flank the bust
of Wallace Wade at the stadium entrance.
38
„ Wallace Wade Stadium, home of the Duke Blue Devils
since 1929, ranks among the finest collegiate football stadiums in the nation. It has been the home for 18 conference
championship teams, eight bowl squads, 56 All-America
players and over 200 Blue Devil victories.
„ Named for legendary Duke head coach Wallace
Wade, Duke’s stadium is one of the most comfortable in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The
horseshoe-shaped structure, nestled among the
greenery and towering pines of the surrounding
Duke forest, features aluminum bench seating,
newly remodeled rest rooms, a lighting system
for evening and night games and a modern,
computerized video scoreboard installed in
1998.
„ The facility was known as Duke Stadium
when it opened for the first time on October 5,
1929. The University of Pittsburgh defeated Duke
in that first game, but since that time the Blue Devils
have enjoyed a winning edge on their home turf.
Duke owns a record of 206-166-7 in games played there,
with 58 of the victories coming by shutout. The stadium
seats 33,941 fans, making it an intimate — and picturesque
— setting for bigtime college football.
„ In July of 1967, Duke’s Board of Trustees approved the
renaming of the stadium to honor Wade, who coached the
Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowls. The dedication took place September 30, 1967.
„ Several improvements have been made to the stadium
throughout the years, but none more important than the
construction of the Yoh Football Center on the stadium’s
northeast corner. The Yoh Football Center, featuring new
weight, training, meeting and locker rooms, an indoor
workout facility, offices, an academic support area and
a memorabilia area honoring Duke’s football tradition,
became the home to the Duke football program during the
summer of 2002. It provides current and future Blue Devils
with state-of-the-art facilities that compare favorably to any
program in the nation.

„ The sights from gameday at Duke show that the Blue
Devil football program is one branded by excitement, action and spirit.
„ Duke’s home games, played at historic Wallace Wade
Stadium, offer the pageantry only felt on a college football
Saturday. In terms of media exposure, Duke hosts in excess
of 75 media members at each home game. Since 1997, Duke
has appeared on either national or regional television at least
five times in each of those 10 seasons.
„ Head coach David Cutcliffe’s goal of resurrecting Duke’s
proud football tradition appears to be on track. The gameday experience, like the one at Duke, is an integral part of
Cutcliffe’s equation to lead the Blue Devils back to national
prominence.
41
42
Duke’s football tradition stands up
against that of many private universities around the country. The Blue Devils
have appeared in all four of the traditional major bowl
games — Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton — and have
earned 18 league championships in both the Southern and
Atlantic Coast Conferences.
With 64 overall selections, Duke has placed 56 of its players
on All-America teams and has 11 College Football Hall of
Fame inductees.
Several events have shaped the rich tradition of Duke
football, from:
„ Duke (then Trinity College) and North Carolina playing the first college football game below the Mason-Dixon
line
„ The 1938 Iron Dukes team that went unscored upon dur-
ing the regular season
„ Duke playing host to the 1942 Rose Bowl in Durham
against Oregon State
„ Capturing the Southern Conference title in 1944 and
upending Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, 29-26
„ Winning the first three ACC Championships in 1953,
1954 & 1955
„ In 1959, Mike McGee winning the Outland Trophy,
given annually to the nation’s most outstanding interior
lineman
„ Defeating Arkansas, 7-6, to win the Cotton Bowl on
January 2, 1961
„ In the 1980s, celebrating four ACC Player of the Year
winners — Chris Castor (1982), Ben Bennett (1983), Anthony
Dilweg (1988) and Clarkston Hines (1989)
„ Having three NFL Hall of Fame selections —Ace Parker,
George McAfee and Sonny Jurgensen
„ Having 11 College Football Hall of Fame honorees
Clockwise from top left corner: Steve Spurrier and record-setting quarterback Ben Bennett; 1941 team captain & All-America center Bob Barnett;
Steve Slayden, who threw a school single-game record six TD passes
versus Georgia Tech in 1987; Hall of Fame head coach Wallace Wade; 2000
team captain Troy Andrew; Duke’s third all-time leading rusher Randy
Cuthbert; 1962 first team All-America Jean Berry; and Spence Fischer,
who guided the Blue Devils to the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1994.

„ Consistency. It’s the mark of true excellence in any
endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics,
competition has become so balanced and so competitive
that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of
consistency.
„ Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds.
Now in its 55th year of competition, the ACC has long
enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most
competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation.
„ Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have
captured 105 national championships, including 56 in
women’s competition and 49 in men’s.
„ The conference had an immediate impact on the national
college football scene in the fall of 1953 when Maryland
captured the first of what would eventually be five national
football titles for the ACC. Clemson laid claim to the league’s
second national title in 1981 while Georgia Tech followed
suit in 1990. Florida State pocketed national titles No. 4 and
5 in 1993 and 1999. In addition, Miami has won five national
titles over the past 25 seasons.
„ The 12 ACC institutions have produced 523 first or
second team gridiron All-Americas and 72 first-team academic All-Americas. ACC schools have had 2,124 players
selected in the professional football draft, including 210
first round selections.
„ If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses,
then the ACC over the years has proved itself to be among
the elite in Division I-A football. The ACC is the nation’s
winningest bowl conference as the 12 current league teams
are a combined 143-123-5 (.537) in post-season play.
45
46
„ Duke boasts more ACC Player of the Year
honorees — 10 — than any other school in the
league.
„ Quarterback Jerry Barger was the first Blue
Devil to receive the prestigious honor after leading Duke to an 8-2-1 record, the ACC title and
a berth in the Orange Bowl in 1954. Five years
later, guard Mike McGee captured the award
on his way to winning the Outland Trophy as
the nation’s top lineman.
„ After halfback Jay Wilkinson picked up the
citation in 1963 by scoring 12 touchdowns, Duke
had back-to-back winners with defensive back
Ernie Jackson (1971) and running back Steve
Jones (1972).
„ In the decade of the 1980s, four Blue Devils
were crowned as wide receiver Chris Castor
(1982), quarterback Ben Bennett (1983), quarterback Anthony Dilweg (1988) and wide receiver
Clarkston Hines (1989) claimed the trophy.
„
Tailback Robert Baldwin became Duke’s
10th conference player of the year in 1994 after
rushing for 1,187 yards as the Blue Devils went
8-4 and played in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

„ More than 85 Duke players have gone on to play professionally over the past 60 years.
„ This past season, Patrick Mannelly, who finished his
Duke career in 1997 before being drafted in the NFL’s sixth
round,, helped the Chicago Bears to the NFC Championship
and berth in Super Bowl XLI.
„ In the spring of 2007, Duke’s three team captains from
last year’s club — Casey Camero (Tampa Bay), Eli Nichols
(Washington) and John Talley (Washington) — signed free
agent contracts with NFL organizations.
„ Duke has supplied the NFL with some of its greatest
players — Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen, Ace Parker and
George McAfee, as well as All-Pro selections Mike Curtis,
Ed Newman, Al DeRogatis and Bob Grupp.
„ Linebacker Kevin Lewis helped the New York
Giants to the NFC Championship in 2002 while Curtis,
two-time All-Pro pick, was on Baltimore’s Super Bowl
championship team in 1971.
„ The Blue Devils have had five first round NFL Draft
selections and one first round supplemental NFL pick:
McAfee (1940), Steve Lach (1942), Curtis (1965), Bob
Matheson (1967), Mike Junkin (1987) and Dave Brown
(1992 - supplemental).

„ Duke’s Strength & Conditioning program is under the
direction of Noel Durfey. Durfey and Blue Devil head coach
David Cutcliffe worked together at the University of Mississippi.
“We are certainly excited to have Noel Durfey join our staff.
He is a tremendous addition to the Duke family.” – David
Cutcliffe
„ In the spring of 2008, Duke’s Sonny Falcone was named
Master Strength and Conditioning Coach — the highest honor
in the profession — by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association. Falcone has been on the Blue Devil
staff since 1980.
51
52
„ Led by nationally renowned physicians
and certified athletic trainers, Duke’s sports
medicine program is widely considered the
very best in the nation.
„ In essence, the mission of the sports medicine
program at Duke is to combine the latest innovations and technology in injury recognition, prevention, treatment and performance enhancement with an
outstanding collection of doctors, certified athletic trainers
and other support personnel to give the Blue Devil studentathlete a quality experience while at Duke.
„ Dr. Claude T. Moorman III, former head team physician
for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, serves as Duke’s head team
physician. A 1987 graduate from the University of Cincinnati
College of Medicine, he returned to Duke after serving as the
Director of Sports Medicine at the University of Maryland
Medical Center from 1996-2001. Moorman played football
at Duke before graduating in 1983.
„ The Duke athletic training staff is headed by Dave Engelhardt, now in his 27th season at Duke, and Hap Zarzour, who
is in his 16th year as the head football trainer.
„ In the summer of 2002, Duke opened its newest training
room in the Yoh Football Center. It is a 5,500 square-foot facility, featuring extensive hydrotherapy system, rehabilitation
and treatment areas. The hydrotherapy area includes a 10 x
20 multidepth rehabilitation pool featuring an underwater
treadmill, an 8 x 8 chiller pool and an 8 x 8 warm whirlpool.
„ The treatment area is highlighted by modern modalities and the latest technological equipment. Duke’s new
rehabilitation equipment ensures constant monitoring and
thoughtful progression through every stage of rehabilitation. An unweighted treadmill and Biodex muscle testing
and rehabilitation equipment is also featured in Duke’s
rehabilitation area.
„ Other facets of the sports medicine program include the
very best training meals, monitored by sports nutritionist
Franca Alphin and team meal coordinator Faye McIntosh,
access to prominent sports psychologist Richard Keefe and

COACHING STAFF
In the spring of 2005, Cutcliffe joined the
coaching staff at Notre Dame, but resigned
from the post for health reasons. He then returned to Knoxville prior to the 2006 season.
Cutcliffe has helped the Volunteers to a 19-8
record from 2006-07 with two appearances in
the Outback Bowl. In 2007, Tennessee went
10-4 with a 6-2 league mark en route to winning the SEC Eastern Division crown. The
Tennessee offense allowed an NCAA-low four
sacks on the year, and quarterback Erik Ainge
earned MVP honors of the Outback Bowl after
throwing for 365 yards and two touchdowns
as the Volunteers defeated Wisconsin, 21-17.
Tennessee running back Arian Foster rushed
for 1,193 yards on the year while wide receiver
Lucas Taylor reached the 1,000-yard plateau
for receiving yards. In addition, offensive
guard Anthony Parker garnered first team
All-SEC and second team All-America accolades.
With Cutcliffe at offensive coordinator,
Tennessee scored 30 or more points in 62 of
100 games, posting a 59-3 (.952) ledger in
those contests. The Volunteers compiled an
overall record of 173-54-7 (.754) during his 19
seasons on staff. Cutcliffe is the only coach in
SEC history to have two quarterbacks throw
for over 10,000 career yards while his offenses
produced the all-time leading passers, rushers
and receivers at both Mississippi and Tennessee.
A native of Birmingham, Ala., Cutcliffe
graduated from the University of Alabama in
1976. He got his start in the coaching profession at Banks High School — his alma mater
— and spent four years as an assistant coach
before becoming the head coach in 1980.
Cutcliffe is married to the former Karen
Oran of Harriman, Tenn., and they are the
parents of four children — Chris, Marcus,
Katie and Emily.
„ Over the past two seasons, Cutcliffe helped Tennessee win 19
games with two appearances in the Outback Bowl.
In 2007, Cutcliffe and the Volunteers went 10-4, captured the
SEC Eastern Division championship and defeated Wisconsin in the
Outback Bowl as Erik Ainge earned game MVP honors. Ainge was
later selected by the New York Jets in the 2008 NFL Draft.
„
„ In 1998, Cutcliffe was named the recipient of the Frank Broyles
Award, an honor presented annually to the top assistant coach in the
nation.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT DAVID CUTCLIFFE
“Duke is serious about restoring excitement and a winning tradition to
Duke football. David Cutcliffe’s selection as our head coach shows Duke
is committed to helping our players achieve the excellence we seek, both
on and off the field. Coach Cutcliffe is a proven motivator and experienced
leader, and I am delighted to welcome him to Duke. I’m also grateful to a
superb search committee that worked with Joe Alleva and me to achieve
this great result.”
Dr. Richard H. Brodhead,
President, Duke University
“David Cutcliffe’s hiring is a clear sign that Duke is serious and committed
to its football program. He is an established coach at the highest level of
collegiate competition and his track record speaks for itself. Coach Cutcliffe
has traveled roads our program has not enjoyed in recent years, and that can
only benefit the young men he will lead here at Duke. I am excited about this
hire for our University, our Department of Athletics, and most importantly,
for the current and future Blue Devil football players.”
Mike Krzyzewski,
Head Basketball Coach, Duke University
“David Cutcliffe is a great hire for Duke University. He is an oustanding
football coach that understands all aspects of the game. He is an accomplished
recruiter and great communicator. He’s also a tremendous worker and he and
his family will always represent Duke University in a first class manner.”
Phillip Fulmer,
Head Football Coach, University of Tennessee
“I’m excited for Coach Cutcliffe. I think he deserves to be a head coach
again. His influence on me has been well documented; he was a huge reason
why I chose to attend the University of Tennessee. Speaking for Eli, Coach
Cutcliffe being named the head coach at Ole Miss was a swaying factor in
Eli’s decision to go to school there. He’s done such a great job at Tennessee
and is a great match and a great fit for Duke.”
Peyton Manning,
QB, Indianapolis Colts
University of Tennessee, SEC Player of the Year & First
Team All-America, 1997
No. 1 Overall Selection, 1998 NFL Draft
NFL MVP, 2003 & 2004; MVP, Super Bowl XLI
“The greatest thing about
Coach Cutcliffe is his ability
to teach the game of football.
He works so well with quarterbacks in particular, and teaches
you how to lead your team from
that position. He works hard, is
dedicated and has a passion for
winning. I know his teams will be
well prepared for anything that happens in a game.”
Eli Manning,
QB, New York Giants
University of Mississippi,
SEC Player of the Year &
First Team All-America, 2003

“I’m very excited for Coach Cutcliffe and I think that all the people associated with Duke should be excited. He’s an outstanding human being and a
really good football coach.”
Archie Manning,
University of Mississippi;
First Team All-America,
1969 & 1970
College Football Hall of Fame,
Inducted in 1989
“Just knowing Coach Cutcliffe
and his dedication to not only
football but development for
young men, it’s a great hire
for Duke. I think it’s going to
be a great marriage for him as
well with the University.”
Deuce McAllister,
RB, New Orleans Saints
University of Mississippi;
First Team All-SEC, 1999 & 2000
No. 23 Overall Selection, 2001 NFL Draft
“Coach Cutcliffe was great. He was
pretty much the reason I went to the
University of Tennessee because of his
quarterback history with Andy Kelly,
Heath Shuler, Peyton Manning, coaching myself and helping us to a national
championship then going on with Eli
Manning and Erik Ainge this year. He is
an offensive genius and at quarterback and
he knows what he’s talking about. He was a
big reason for our success at Tennessee and
when he went on to Ole Miss, he was very
successful there in turning that program
around. I think it’s great for Duke to have
Coach Cutcliffe there.”
Tee Martin,
QB, University of Tennessee;
First Team All-SEC, 1999

COACHING STAFF
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT DAVID CUTCLIFFE
“David Cutcliffe is a sensational choice to be the football coach at Duke. His
first head coaching job at Ole Miss was filled with high points, and included
the first championship for Ole Miss in a long, long time, an SEC West division
co-championship with LSU, and a Cotton Bowl win over Oklahoma State.
His ability to mold quarterbacks and offenses is well documented, but it’s
his people and organizational skills that make him the tremendous man,
and coach that he is today. If you spend any time at all in his presence it’s
easy to see why he’s been so successful in his career and his personal life.
His family is a full participant in his career, and he has been as successful
as a father as he has as a coach. He captivates you with his demeanor and
his integrity is not for sale. He will make Duke football matter again, and
he will do it the right way; with honor, honesty, hard work, and the players
will have fun making history. Duke football will not be a punch line much
longer under the direction of David Cutcliffe. From this point forward it
will be with much pride that players will be able to say, “I play football at
DUKE for David Cutcliffe!”
“I think [Coach Cutcliffe] is the right person for the job. He’s a real first-class
guy and he’ll do everything by the book. He’s going to get the most out of
those guys because he is a motivator.”
Derrick Burgess,
DE, Oakland Raiders
University of Mississippi; First Team
All-SEC, 2000
“His knowledge surpasses so many others.
He’s as quality a human being as I’ve ever
been around. He’s going to surround
himself with good coaches and good players. Look at the unbelievable players he
has recruited.”
Heath Shuler,
QB, University of Tennessee;
SEC Player of the Year, 1993
No. 3 Overall Selection,
1994 NFL Draft
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for
David Cutcliffe. He is truly one of the great offensive coaches in college football. He is outstanding in the development of quarterbacks and with the
passing game in particular. I thought he did a really good
job at Mississippi and knew it would only be a matter of time before he was
his own boss again.”
Todd Blackledge,
College Football Analyst, ESPN
“David Cutcliffe is an offensive mastermind. He does an exceptional job
with quarterbacks. Peyton Manning pays him the highest compliment when
he tells all Tennessee quarterbacks, ‘Just do what he says. Period.’ This is a
tremendous hire for Duke.”
Mike Patrick,
College Football Commentator, ESPN
“Anyone who is credited with mentoring both of the Mannings currently
playing in the NFL has pretty solid credentials as a football coach. Archie,
Peyton and Eli all speak of David Cutcliffe with a great degree of admiration
... I think David is a great choice for Duke.”
Verne Lundquist,
College Football Commentator, CBS
Charles Davis,
College Football Analyst, FOX Sports/NFL Network
Tennessee Football Letterman, 1983-86
“Cutcliffe is one of the top offensive minds in football. This is the guy who
molded the greatest quarterback on the planet: Peyton Manning. And he is
a proven head coach, having developed Ole Miss into a strong program. No
doubt: Duke met its objectives in tabbing Cutcliffe as head coach.”
Tom Dienhart,
The Sporting News
“When it comes to David Cutcliffe, the record speaks for itself: Five winning
seasons in six years at Ole Miss; two No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft;
a national reputation that is second to none when it comes to developing
quarterbacks and great offenses. After a year out of coaching followed by
two years at Tennessee, David Cutcliffe is smarter, hungrier, and more than
ready to be a head coach again. Duke is getting David at the best possible
time in his life and in his career. He will bring an excitement to Duke football
that it has not seen since the days of Steve Spurrier.”
Tony Barnhart,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution/CBS
“If there could be a perfect fit at Duke, it’s David Cutcliffe. A meticulous,
hard-working, no-frills, no-excuses coach. And one of the best Xs and Os
tacticians in the game. He was a quarterback guru before it became fashionable to call a coach a quarterback guru.”
Matt Hayes,
The Sporting News
“Coach Cutcliffe proved himself as a head coach at Ole Miss. Based on
the results since his departure from that school, one would have to say his
dismissal was a mistake. He is coming into a challenging situation at Duke,
but he’s got the ability to make that program competitive. My guess is that
Duke will be much better in football under David Cutcliffe. Bottom line, this
is a very good hire for Duke.”
Wendell Barnhouse,
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“David Cutcliffe is a great teacher, a developer of quarterbacks, an offensive
innovator, a hardworking recruiter and a great person whose presence gives
Duke a chance to compete in the ACC.”

RON MIDDLETON
Associate Head Coach
Special Teams Coordinator
Tight Ends
1st Season at Duke
Recruiting Area: South Alabama, South Georgia
& Florida Panhandle
Ron Middleton is in his first season as associate head coach and
special teams coordinator while coaching the tight ends.
„
In 2007, Middleton helped the Alabama Crimson Tide to a 7-6
overall record and 30-24 victory over Colorado in the Independence Bowl. Under Middleton’s direction, Alabama kicker Leigh
Tiffin totalled 111 points — the second-highest single-season point
total in Tide history — with a school single-season record 25 field
goals along with 36 extra points. In addition, Javier Arenas ranked
among the SEC’s top 10 performers in both kickoff and punt return
average while tight end Nick Walker caught 23 passes for 204 yards
and two touchdowns.
„
„ The former Auburn letterman and 10-year NFL veteran served
three seasons (2004-06) as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers under head coach Jon Gruden. While with the Bucs, Middleton coached the tight ends and assisted with special teams and
helped Tampa Bay to the 2005 NFC South Division championship.
Middleton spent five seasons (1999-03) on the coaching staff at
Mississippi working along side Duke head coach David Cutcliffe.
While with the Rebels, Middleton coached the tight ends for three
years (1999-01) and running backs for two campaigns (2002-03) and
served as the special teams coordinator. Ole Miss participated in four
bowl games during Middleton’s tenure, and the Atmore, Ala., native
mentored kicker Jonathan Nichols, who set 15 school records, earned
All-SEC honors and captured the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s
top placekicker in 2003. That season, Nichols booted 24-of-28 field
goal attempts and all 45 of his point after touchdown tries en route
to scoring an Ole Miss single-season record 117 points.
„
„ Middleton’s professional playing career spanned 10 seasons with
five organizations. Undrafted out of Auburn, he played two years
(1986-87) with the Atlanta Falcons before joining the Washington
Redskins for the 1988 campaign. Following one season (1989) with
the Cleveland Browns, Middleton returned to the Redskins for a
four-year tenure that included a 37-24 victory over Buffalo in Super
Bowl XXVI. He finished his career playing single campaigns with
the Los Angeles Rams (1994) and San Diego Chargers (1995).
„ Middleton, who was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’
training camp coaching staff in 2003 as a part of the NFL’s Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, was selected by Gruden in 2006
to attend the NFL’s Coaches Career Development Symposium. In
addition, Middleton joined with other Tampa Bay coaches to host
the 2004 High School Coaching Academy, a one-day clinic designed
to elevate the quality of football coaching at the prep level.
„ Middleton and his wife, Mia, are the parents of three children:
Ron II, Desmond and Zaria.
„ Also in 2003, Mississippi punter Cody Ridgeway garnered second
team All-SEC accolades while the Rebels paced the league in net
punting, kickoff returns, field goals, and PAT kicking.
„ Before joining Cutcliffe at Ole Miss, Middleton spent two seasons
(1997-98) at Troy, coaching the tight ends, offensive tackles and assisted with special teams. He also spent time in private business,
serving as vice president of American Communications.
„ A four-year letterwinning tight end at Auburn from 1982-85, Middleton helped the Tigers to a four-year ledger of 37-12 with four bowl
game appearances that produced three victories. In 1983, Auburn
posted an 11-1 record, won the SEC title and defeated Michigan, 9-7,
in the Sugar Bowl. Middleton earned a degree in pre-law/history
from Auburn in 1988 and later received a master’s degree in sports
and fitness management from Troy in 1998.

have three children, Jennifer, Jay Michael and Jonston.
While with the Cowboys, MacIntyre coached
safety Roy Williams, who was the eighth overall

four safeties in Cowboys history to earn four Pro
Bowl berths. MacIntyre also coached cornerback
Terrence Newman, who was an NFL All-Rookie

Quarterbacks
1st Season at Duke
Recruiting Area: Texas & Western Tennessee
A coaching veteran who has spent time on staffs at three SEC
schools, Kurt Roper is in his first season as Duke’s offensive coordinator while directing the Blue Devil quarterbacks.
„
„ Roper joined the Duke program in January of 2008 after serving
the previous two years at Tennessee where he coached the running
backs. The Volunteers produced 19 wins against eight losses from
2006-07 with one SEC Eastern Division crown and a pair of berths
in the Outback Bowl.
„ Tennessee’s
rushing attack in 2007 was featured by Arian Foster,
who gained 1,193 yards on 245 carries while scoring 12 touchdowns
on the ground. On the Volunteer single-season record charts, Foster’s
numbers landed him fourth in rushing attempts, tied for fifth in
rushing touchdowns and ninth in yards. In addition, he had five
100-yard rushing games on the year and his 98-yard, three-touchdown performance against Georgia helped Tennessee defeat the then
12th-ranked Bulldogs, 35-14. A junior in 2007, Foster currently ranks
seventh on UT’s all-time rushing list with 2,394 career yards.
Roper got his start in coaching at Tennessee, serving as a graduate assistant coach from 1996-98 while working with the Volunteer
defensive and special teams units. He then followed current Duke
head coach David Cutcliffe to Ole Miss and spent six years in Oxford
as the Rebels went 44-29 with four bowl game victories. Mississippi
enjoyed one of its finest seasons in school history in 2003 when
the Rebels went 10-3, captured a share
of the SEC Western Division title and
defeated Oklahoma State, 31-28, in the
Cotton Bowl.
„

SCOTTIE MONTGOMERY
Wide Receivers
3rd Season at Duke
Recruiting Area: South Florida, Central Georgia
& Central North Carolina
„ One of the best wide receivers ever to wear a Duke uniform, Scottie
Montgomery was hired by head coach David Cutcliffe as an assistant
coach to lead the wide receiving corps.
„ A member of the coaching staff at his alma mater since 2006,
Montgomery’s wide receiving unit in 2007 was headlined by second
team All-ACC pick Eron Riley and senior captain Jomar Wright.
Riley, who posted one of the top single-game receiving performances
in Duke history with a six-catch, 235-yard, four-touchdown outing
at Navy in September 22, 2007, caught 40 passes for 830 yards and
nine touchdowns on the year while leading the ACC in yards per
reception at 20.8. The Savannah, Ga., native will enter his final season
at Duke ranking first in career yards per catch average (20.7), tied
for fourth in 100-yard receiving games (5), seventh in touchdown
catches (14) and eighth in receiving yards (1,720). Wright paced the
Blue Devils with his 56 catches for 599 yards and five touchdowns
and closed his career ranking tied for ninth in receptions (122) and
ninth in yards (1,638).
„ As a wide receiver for the Blue Devils from 1996-99, Montgomery
paced Duke in receiving three straight seasons (1997-99) and twice
earned the program’s Carmen Falcone Award (1998 & 1999) as the
Most Valuable Player. The Cleveland County, N.C., native joins
Howard Pitt (1951-53) and Stan Crisson (1961-63) as the only Duke
players to lead the program in receiving in three straight years and
is one of just five two-time team MVPs in school history.
„ During his senior campaign in 1999, he established the school
standard for all-purpose yards in a season with 1,565 — a mark
that was broken in 2001 when Chris Douglas amassed 1,849 yards.
Montgomery continues to hold two of Duke’s top 10 single-game
totals for all-purpose yardage with 262 versus Vanderbilt in 1998
(7th) and 250 against Virginia in 1999 (10th). In the Vanderbilt contest, he registered 243 receiving yards, a total that stands fourth on
Duke’s chart for single-game performances.
„ Montgomery played professionally with the NFL’s Denver Broncos
(2000-02) and Oakland Raiders (2003). He is married to the former
Ebony McDuffie of Detroit, Mich.
„ On Duke’s all-time pass receiving charts, Montgomery
ranks second in receptions (171), third in yards (2,379),
tied for seventh in 100-yard receiving games (4) and
eighth in touchdowns (13). He caught 51 passes in both
1997 and 1999 and registered a career-high 60 receptions
as a junior in 1998. The 60 catches are the most by a Duke
player in a single season since All-America Clarkston
Hines hauled in 61 passes during the 1989 campaign.
Hines and Montgomery are the only Duke players to
post three straight seasons with at least 50 receptions
and 600 yards.
„ Montgomery’s name also is etched into the Duke
record book for longest plays, ranking tied for second
for pass completions with an 88-yard catch from Bobby
Campbell against Vanderbilt in 1998 and fourth under
kickoff returns with a 99-yard return versus Wake Forest in 1999. Heading into the 2008 season, Montgomery
ranks fifth on Duke’s all-time chart for both kickoff
returns (63) and kickoff return yards (1,515), while his
4,188 career all-purpose yards rank as the third-highest
total in school history.

KEVIN WHITE
Director of Athletics
1st Season at Duke
Alma Mater: St. Joseph’s College ‘72
Kevin White was named Duke University’s vice president and director of athletics on May, 31, 2008.
“Kevin White is in the first rank of athletics directors
nationally and will make a perfect fit for Duke,” Duke
President Dr. Richard H. Brodhead said. “He has led
coaches and players to the highest levels of athletic attainment while always remembering the larger goals of
education. He is a superb communicator and a famous
developer of the talent of others. He knows the business
of intercollegiate athletics. And the quality of experience
of student athletes is his highest priority. He is a passionate, inspiring leader. I am delighted to welcome him to
Duke.”
White, 57, joined the Duke family after leading Notre
Dame’s athletics program to success both on the playing fields
and in the classroom, He also has held a number of prominent
national leadership roles within intercollegiate athletics, including
his service in 2006-07 as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and in 2005-06 as president
of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association.
Notre Dame traditionally has been a leader in the priority areas
identified in Duke’s plan. During White’s eight years at Notre Dame,
the Irish claimed four national championships — women’s basketball
(2001); fencing (2003 and 2005) and women’s soccer (2004).
On the academic front, all of Notre Dame’s 26 athletic programs
achieved at least a 3.0 grade-point average in 2005-06, the first time
this occurred in school history. The university received a 2002 USA
Today/NCAA Academic Achievement Award for graduating 90
percent of its student-athletes within a certain time frame, and also
received the 2003 award for highest overall student-athlete graduation rate (92 percent).
White added a number of varsity scholarships and commissioned a facilities master plan that has guided Notre Dame’s
subsequent upgrading or opening
of several athletics facilities. He
also administered a comprehensive
intramural, club sport and campus
recreation program, with 95 percent
of the student body participating.
Sports Illustrated On Campus rated
the Irish intramural program tops in the
nation in 2004.
White, who holds a Ph.D. in education, has
taught graduate-level classes since 1982 and currently teaches a
sports business course in the management department of the Mendoza College of Business as part of Notre Dame’s MBA program.
In August 2003, SI.com (the Sports Illustrated web site) listed
White third in its rankings of the most powerful people in college
football. In January 2004, The Sporting News listed him in its Power
100 as third among five names in the “front office” category (and
the lone college athletics director among the 100).
White currently is a representative with the football Bowl Championship Series. He previously served on numerous NCAA committees, including the NCAA Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics
(COIA) that deals with academics, fiscal reform and student-athlete
well-being. He also was an ex-officio member of the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance and a member of its Penalty and
Rewards subcommittee.
Prior to joining Notre Dame in 2000, White served as athletic director at Arizona State University, Tulane University, the University of
Maine and Loras College in Iowa, where he originated the National
Catholic Basketball Tournament.
Before becoming an administrator, White served as head track and
field coach at Southeast Missouri State (1981-82) and assistant cross
country and track and field coach at Central Michigan (1976-80). He
began his coaching career at Gulf High School in New Port Richey,
Fla., coaching cross country and track and assisting in football and
wrestling.
White earned his Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University in 1983
with an emphasis on higher education administration. In 1985, he
completed postdoctoral work at Harvard University’s Institute for
Educational Management. He earned his master’s degree in athletics

SEASON REVIEW
All-ACC
Lewis-to-Riley
Junior wide receiver Eron Riley earned second
team All-ACC honors as voted on by the Atlantic
Coast Sports Media Association ... Riley, a 6-3, 200pound native of Savannah, Ga. and Duke’s lone
honoree, finished the year with 40 receptions for
830 yards and nine touchdowns ... the all-league
citation was the first for Riley and the first for a
Duke wide receiver since current wide receivers
coach Scottie Montgomery was a second team
selection in 1997.
Quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and wide receiver
Eron Riley connected for nine touchdowns through
the air in 2007 ... In two seasons the duo has tallied 12 touchdowns, four shy of the Duke record
of 16 held by the tandems of Ben Bennett/Chris
Castor and Steve Slayden/Doug Green ... The
Bennett/Castor combination holds the single
season record of 12 touchdowns in 1982 ... Four
of the nine touchdown passes from Lewis to Riley
came at Navy as they scored on passes of 76, 35,
9 and 69 yards ... Only David Green and Corey
Thomas connected for four touchdown passes in
the same game in Duke history ... Eight of the 12
career touchdown passes from Lewis to Riley have
been over 30 yards.
Academic All-ACC
Headlined by repeat selections Patrick Bailey and
Matt Rumsey, Duke placed five student-athletes
on the 2007 ACC All-Academic Football Team
... Other Blue Devils named to the unit included
Ronnie Drummer, Thaddeus Lewis and Wesley
Oglesby.
ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-District III
Senior rush end Patrick Bailey and senior center
Matt Rumsey were named to the 2007 ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-District III football team
... the honor marked the second straight for Bailey while Rumsey made his first appearance on
the unit ... Bailey led Duke in quarterback sacks
(4.5) despite playing in only six games while also
finishing fourth with seven tackles for loss and
ninth with 37 tackles ... Rumsey extended his
streak to 35 consecutive starts at center for the Blue
Devils, playing a total of 782 snaps on the season.
National Football Foundation
Hampshire Honor Society
Two Duke players, Patrick Bailey and Matt Rumsey, were selected to the 2008 NFF Hampshire
Honor Society, which is comprised of college
football players from all divisions of play who each
maintained a 3.2 GPA or better ... Bailey played in
six games with 37 tackles, 4.5 sacks and a caused
fumble ... Rumsey started all 12 contests at center
and played 782 total snaps.

Wallace Wade Stadium • Durham, N.C.
Connecticut 45, Duke 14
DURHAM, N.C. — Connecticut QB Tyler
Lorenzen threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns and the Huskies outscored Duke
by a 34-0 margin in the second half
en route to a 45-14 victory over the
Blue Devils in front of 17,251 fans
at Wallace Wade Stadium.
The Blue Devils took the
opening kickoff and drove
80 yards on six plays for a
six-yard touchdown pass
from QB Thaddeus Lewis to TE Brandon King.
Lewis hooked up with
WR Eron Riley for a 53yard completion to start
the march while RB Justin
Boyle converted a key third
down with a seven-yard run
to the Husky six yard line.
Connecticut responded
with a scoring drive on its first
possession as Lorenzen rushed for 31
yards on two attempts to key a seven-play,
56-yard session that netted a 30-yard field goal
by K Tony Ciaravino. The Huskies then pulled within
two points with a safety when Lewis was sacked and fumbled the football into the end
zone where Duke recovered.
At the 10:55 mark of the second period, Ciaravino booted a 27-yard field goal to
give the Huskies an 8-7 advantage, but Duke’s Jabari Marshall returned the ensuing
kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to reclaim the lead. Marshall’s return for a score
matched the 11th-longest such return in Duke history and marked the first of his career.
Connecticut closed the half with a third field goal off the foot of Ciaravino and Duke
led at intermission, 14-11.
Lorenzen keyed Connecticut’s first possession of the third quarter by hitting WR
D.J. Hernandez with a 57-yard scoring strike on third-and-seven from the Husky 43
yard line. Later in the quarter, Lorenzen’s 41-yard pass to WR Brad Kanuch set up a
two-yard scoring toss to TE Steve Brouse as the Huskies pushed their lead to 25-14 at
the end of three periods.

Game 2 • September 8, 2007
Scott Stadium • Charlottesville, Va.
Virginia 24, Duke 13
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia RB Cedric Peerman rushed for 137 yards
and one touchdown as the Cavaliers defeated Duke, 24-13, in front of 58,554 fans at
Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.
Virginia used special teams play to set up the first score of the game as Vic Hall
returned a Duke punt 67 yards to the Blue Devil four yard line. Two snaps later, Cavalier
QB Jameel Sewell found TE Tom Santi for a seven-yard touchdown pass at the 11:40
mark of the opening period. On the Cavaliers’ second possession, Peerman darted 58
yards for a touchdown to push the lead to 14-0 with 8:13
left in the first quarter.
Virginia’s third possession of the day
yielded two points for Duke as an errant
snap on fourth down sailed over the head
of Cavalier P Ryan Weigand and out of
the back of the end zone for a safety.
Duke LB Vincent Rey thwarted a Virginia scoring opportunity
by blocking a field goal attempt
midway through the second quarter and Rodney Ezzard scooped
up the loose ball and returned it
61 yards into Cavalier territory.
The Blue Devils drove inside the
Cavalier 10 yard line but missed
a 26-yard field goal attempt.
With a 27-yard field goal on
the final snap of the first half, Virginia extended its advantage to 17-2.
The field goal by K Chris Gould capped
a six-play, 48-yard drive that took the final
2:27 of the second period.
At the 2:51 mark of the third quarter, Duke
QB Thaddeus Lewis hooked up with WR Jomar Wright
on a 16-yard scoring strike. Lewis then followed with a twopoint conversion toss to FB Tielor Robinson, pulling the Blue Devils to within 17-10.
The drive came after Virginia snapped the ball past Weigand for the second time in the
contest.
On the ensuing kickoff, Duke LB Adam Banks caused and recovered a fumble to
give Duke possession of the football. The Blue Devils then drove 16 yards in five plays for
a 21-yard field goal by Joe

Ryan Field • Evanston, Ill.
Duke 20, Northwestern 14
EVANSTON, Ill. — Behind the arm of QB Thaddeus Lewis and a bend-but-don’tbreak defense, the Duke Blue Devils upended Northwestern by a 20-14 count as 23,716
fans looked on at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill.
Trailing by six points, Northwestern took possession of the ball at its own 35
yard line with just 1:17 left in the game. Completed passes of 24 and 10 yards pushed
the Wildcats to the Duke 31 yard line and, after a sack,
QB C.J. Bacher scrambled 35 yards to the
seven yard line. The Blue Devils
held, forcing four consecutive incomplete passes to
preserve the win.
Lewis hit on
19-of-23 passes
for 246 yards and
three TDs on the
night.
Following
a Northwestern
punt on their second possession
of the game, the
Blue Devils drove
into Northwestern territory, and Lewis connected with WR Raphael
Chestnut with a 27-yard gain
to convert a fourth down and give
Duke a first-and-goal situation at the four
yard line. On the next snap, Lewis found WR
Jomar Wright over the middle in the end zone for a
touchdown to cap the 11-play, 86-yard drive that took 5:24 off the clock.
Northwestern countered with a 10-play, 83-yard scoring drive that ended when
RB Brandon Roberson scored on a five-yard run with 3:45 remaining in the opening
period. Following Jabari Marshall’s 27-yard kickoff return to the 30 yard line, Duke
ventured past midfield again and Lewis hooked up with TE Brandon King for a sevenyard scoring strike to push the Blue Devils back ahead, 14-7, with 13:48 left in the second
quarter. The march covered 70 yards in 10 plays with Lewis hitting on all seven of his
throws for 58 yards.
Duke forced its second turnover of the game when CB Leon Wright intercepted
a pass in the end zone for a touchback midway through the second period. Lewis then
engineered a seven-play, 80-yard scoring drive that ended when his 12th consecutive
pass completion went to Ronnie Drummer for a 56-yard touchdown. Duke’s extra point
was wide, giving the Blue

in the first half with Riley catching touchdown passes of 76 and 35 yards in the opening
quarter.
The Mids erased a 12-point deficit when FB Eric Kettani ended a six-play, 60-yard

Game 5 • September 29, 2007
Orange Bowl • Miami, Fla.
Miami 24, Duke 14
MIAMI, Fla. — Miami QB Kyle Wright threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns
as the Hurricanes survived a fourth quarter rally by Duke for the second year in a row
with a 24-14 victory over the Blue Devils in front of 30,614 fans at the Orange Bowl.
Trailing 17-7 in the fourth quarter, Duke QB Thaddeus Lewis rallied the Blue
Devils for a touchdown by hitting WR Eron Riley in
stride down the left sideline on a 31-yard scoring toss to pull Duke within three points at
the 9:46 mark of the final period. After
the Duke defense stopped Miami
short on fourth down, Duke took
possession at its own 32 yard
line. The Blue Devils drove to
the Hurricane 30, but Lewis
was sacked on fourth down
to lose possession with just
three minutes remaining.
Miami scored just 45 seconds later to account for
the final margin.
Miami claimed the
early lead on its first possession, driving 46 yards
on eight plays for a five-yard
scoring toss from Wright to WR
Kayne Farquharson to make the
score 7-0 with 8:34 left in the first
period.
At the 3:35 mark of the opening
quarter, Zampogna pushed the Miami advantage to 10-0 with a career-long 47-yard field goal.
The field goal capped a six-play, 32-yard drive that took 1:56 off the clock. Miami
squandered a scoring chance when Zampogna’s 42-yard field goal attempt on the final
snap of the first half was wide right.
Duke CB Leon Wright intercepted a pass to give Duke possession of the football
early in the third quarter. The Blue Devils responded by marching deep into Miami
territory, but a lost fumble ended the drive. The Hurricanes then drove to the Duke
11 yard line, but Kyle Wright again was picked off by Leon Wright — this time in the
end zone — to thwart the scoring opportunity.
The Blue Devils then found paydirt by marching 80 yards on seven snaps for a
41-yard touchdown pass from Lewis to RB Ronnie Drummer. K Nick Maggio’s point
after touchdown conversion pulled Duke to within 10-7 at the 4:35 mark of the third
quarter.

Game 6 • October 6, 2007
Wallace Wade Stadium • Durham, N.C.
Wake Forest 41, Duke 36
DURHAM, N.C. — A furious rally by Duke over the final
20 minutes of the game came up short as visiting
Wake Forest defeated the Blue Devils, 41-36,
as 20,134 fans looked on at Wallace Wade
Stadium.
The Demon Deacons built
a 25-point lead at 34-9 when CB
Alphonso Smith returned an
interception 30 yards for a
touchdown midway through
the third period. Duke then
began its comeback bid,
starting with a touchdown
pass from QB Thaddeus
Lewis to WR Eron Riley at
the 3:24 mark of the third
quarter.
After an interception
by S Chris Davis, Duke cut
the lead to 34-23 late in the third
quarter when RB Justin Boyle
scored from three yards out and
Lewis hit FB Clifford Harris for the
two-point conversion.
The Duke defense then forced a punt,
and Lewis directed a six play, 74-yard drive that
ended when WR Jomar Wright turned a short pass into
a 31-yard touchdown. Duke’s two-point conversion failed and the Demon Deacons
kept a five-point cushion.
After the Blue Devils turned the ball over on downs, Wake Forest WR Kenneth
Moore immediately extended the Demon Deacons’ lead to 41-29 with a 53-yard touchdown run.
Duke responded by marching 67 yards in 10 plays for a 19-yard scoring toss from
Lewis to WR Austin Kelly with just over one minute left, cutting the lead to 41-36.
Wake Forest ended the Duke surge by recoving the ensuing kickoff.

#10 Virginia Tech 43, Duke 14
DURHAM, N.C. — Virginia Tech QB Sean Glennon came off the bench to throw
for 258 yards and two touchdowns as the 12th-ranked Hokies spoiled Duke’s Homecoming with a 43-14 victory in front of 23, 691 fans at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Virginia Tech scored 13 points in the first 10
minutes of the contest on two field goals by K
Jud Dunlevy and a 19-yard touchdown
toss from QB Tyrod Taylor to WR
Josh Morgan.
The Blue Devils countered
with an 11 play, 74-yard drive
that ended when QB Thaddeus Lewis plunged into the
end zone for a touchdown
with less than a minute
remaining in the first quarter. The march was highlighted by a 28-yard strike
from Lewis to WR Austin
Kelly.
The Hokies then used
three touchdowns in a span
of less than four minutes to
take control of the game. RB
Kenny Lewis scored on the
ground from five yards out at the
9:25 mark of the second period, and
Glennon threw a 25-yard scoring pass
to WR Eddie Royal less than three minutes
later.
After Virginia Tech blocked a Duke punt attempt,
RB Branden Ore scored on a two-yard run to give the Hokies a 34-7 lead at intermission.
Dunlevy pushed the margin to 37-7 with a 29-yard field goal early in the third
quarter, and Glennon’s 40-yard touchdown pass to Morgan made the score 43-7 heading
into the final period.
Duke took advantage of a Hokie miscue to score the final touchdown of the game.
Blue Devil LB Michael Tauiliili intercepted an errant Virginia Tech pass to set up a

to TE Brandon King.

Florida State 25, Duke 6
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State WR Preston Parker scored two touchdowns
while K Gary Cismesia booted four field goals as the Seminoles posted a 25-6 win over
Duke as a Homecoming crowd of 79,159 fans watched at Doak Campbell Stadium.
On their second possession of the game, the Seminoles marched to the Blue Devil
two yard line, but Duke LB Vincent Rey thwarted the drive by recovering a fumble.
Following a Duke punt, Florida State got on the scoreboard when
Cismesia booted a 23-yard field goal at the
1:30 mark of the opening period. The
Seminole scoring drive was keyed
by three pass completions to
Parker for 29 yards.
Florida State took advantage of great field position to claim a 6-0 lead early
in the second quarter. A
Duke punt that was returned 20 yards by Parker
gave the Seminoles first
down at the Blue Devil 28
yard line. After three plays
netted four yards, Cismesia
kicked a 41-yard field goal with
12:50 on the clock.
Cismesia kicked his third field goal of the night
–
this one from 33 yards out – with four seconds left in the second quarter to send the
teams into intermission with Florida State ahead, 9-0.
The Seminoles used a nine play, 71-yard scoring drive to claim a 16-0 advantage
when QB Drew Weatherford connected with Parker on a nine-yard touchdown pass
at the 9:06 mark of the third quarter. Duke took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the
Seminole 29 yard line, but QB Thaddeus Lewis was intercepted in the end zone attempting a pass to WR Eron Riley.
Parker scored on a 14-yard run with just under two minutes left in the third
period to cap an 11 play, 80-yard drive that took 5:07 off the clock. Cismesia’s missed
extra point kept the score 22-0 in favor of the Seminoles.
The Blue Devils pulled within 22-6 when Lewis found TE Brandon King in the
end zone for a three-yard scoring strike with 8:07 left in the game. The touchdown
marked King’s fourth of the year and capped a six play, 47-yard drive that started after
DE Wesley Oglesby recovered a Florida State fumble.

#25 Clemson 47, Duke 10
DURHAM, N.C. — Clemson QB Cullen Harper threw for 184 yards and two
touchdowns as the 25th-ranked Tigers defeated Duke by a 47-10 score as 20,457 fans
watched at Wallace Wade Stadium.
The Blue Devils claimed a 7-0 lead seven minutes into the game when QB Thaddeus Lewis found WR Eron Riley for a seven-yard touchdown pass. The scoring toss
capped a six-play, 63-yard drive that lasted 2:21. Clemson responded by driving 54 yards
on nine snaps for a 39-yard field goal by K Mark Buchholz with 4:18 left in the opening quarter.
Clemson used a 19-yard touchdown
pass from Harper to WR Aaron Kelly
at the 8:34 mark of the second quarter to take a 10-7 advantage. The
Tigers then scored 16 points in a
39-second span to claim a 26-7
lead at intermission. Harper’s
three-yard scoring run with
1:10 remaining in the half
began the spurt, and the Tiger defense followed with
a safety when LB Cortney
Vincent tackled Lewis in
the end zone. On the ensuing free kick, Clemson RB
C.J. Spiller darted 84 yards
down the right sideline for a
touchdown to push the margin
to 19 points.
After S Michael Hamlin intercepted a Lewis pass to give Clemson possession, RB James Davis rushed
70 yards for a touchdown to increase the
Tiger lead to 33-7 less than five minutes into the
third period. With 47 seconds left in the third quarter,
Harper found Kelly for a five-yard scoring throw to end an eight-play, 50-yard drive
and push Clemson ahead, 40-7.
In the fourth quarter, Lewis engineered a 14-play, 60-yard drive that resulted in a
30-yard field goal by K Nick Maggio, trimming the margin to 40-10 with 9:36 remaining
in the game. The Tigers’ Marcus Gilchrist returned the ensuing kickoff 66 yards to give
them possession at the 14 yard line, and Clemson made the score 47-10 when TE Brian

Game 11 • November 17, 2007
Notre Dame Stadium • Notre Dame, Ind.
Notre Dame 28, Duke 7
NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen threw for 194 yards
and three touchdowns to lead the Fighting Irish to a 28-7 victory over Duke in front of
80,975 rain-soaked fans at Notre Dame Stadium.
Both teams squandered scoring opportunities in the first 11 minutes of the contest. On its opening possession, Notre Dame drove inside the Duke five yard line but
misfired on a 30-yard field goal attempt. At the 4:22 mark of the opening period, the
Blue Devils marched to the Irish 24 yard line, but missed a 42-yard field goal.
Notre Dame took a 7-0 lead with 1:17 left in the second quarter when Clausen found WR David
Grimes open for a 25-yard touchdown
pass to cap a five play, 58-yard drive.
The possession was set up when
Notre Dame recovered a Blue
Devil fumble. The Irish then
took advantage of a second
Duke miscue, turning a
lost fumble into a 25-yard
scoring toss from Clausen
to WR Duval Kamara
with just four seconds
prior to halftime.
The Irish extended
the lead to 21-0 with 25
seconds remaining in the
third period on RB Robert
Hughes’ 13-yard touchdown run. Notre Dame drove
69 yards on 13 plays while clipping 6:02 off the clock. Clausen’s
third touchdown pass of the game
covered nine yards to TE John Carlson
and pushed the score to 28-0 with 6:51 left in
the final period.
Duke posted its lone touchdown of the day when backup QB Zack Asack scored
on a six-yard quarterback keeper with 1:12 remaining in the game. Asack’s touchdown
capped an eight play, 49-yard drive that took 2:30 off the clock.
Duke QB Thaddeus Lewis finished the day 16-of-33 through the air for 121 yards.
WR Eron Riley caught three passes for 50 yards while RB Justin Boyle paced the ground
attack with 45 yards on eight attempts.
On defense, LB Michael Tauiliili logged double figures in the tackle column for
the third straight week and fifth game of the season with a game-high 12 stops. SS Catron

Game 12 • November 24, 2007
Wallace Wade Stadium • Durham, N.C.
North Carolina 20, Duke 14 OT
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Duke football team closed out the 2007 season with a
20-14 overtime loss to rival North Carolina on Saturday afternoon as 52,000 fans looked
on at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Blue Devils finish the year at 1-11 overall and 0-8 in ACC play. The Tar Heels
improve to 4-8 overall and 3-5 in the league.
North Carolina took the opening kickoff and drove 55 yards on six plays to claim
a 7-0 lead when T.J. Yates threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Tate.
The Blue Devils countered with a scoring drive of
their own as quarterbacks Thaddeus Lewis and
Zack Asack combined to engineer a 12 play,
67-yard march that clipped 6:13 off the
clock. Lewis hooked up with Jomar
Wright for a 25-yard scoring toss to
cap the drive with 6:33 remaining
in the first period.
The Tar Heels had a scoring opportunity late in the
opening quarter, but Patrick
Egboh sacked Yates on third
down and nine from the Duke
30 yard line to push North
Carolina out of field goal
range. The sack marked the
first of Egboh’s career.
In the second quarter,
North Carolina had two scoring
chances thwarted by turnovers.
Jabari Marshall registered the first
interception of his career with a pickoff
in the end zone and, on the Tar Heels’ next
possession, Catron Gainey followed with his first
interception deep in Duke territory.
On their first possession of the second half, Duke drove inside the Tar Heel 20
yard line, but missed a 36-yard field goal attempt.
Wright’s second touchdown reception of the day pushed Duke ahead by a 14-7
count. Lewis found Wright open in the end zone from four yards out to cap a 15 play,
88-yard drive that took 7:16 off the clock. The scoring march was keyed by two third
down catches by Austin Kelly.
North Carolina knotted the score at 14-14 when Greg Little rushed around the
left end for a seven-yard touchdown with 7:09 remaining in the game. The nine play,
72-yard drive took 4:06 off
the clock.

IRON DUKES - 1938 DUKE FOOTBALL
Unbeaten G Untied G Unscored Upon
Duke’s most famous squad is
the 1938 team, nicknamed the Iron
Dukes after rolling through the
regular season unbeaten, untied and
unscored upon. Since 1920, only
three schools have accomplished the
feat — Colgate in 1932, Duke in
1938 and Tennessee in 1939.
Guided by legendary head coach
Wallace Wade, the Blue Devils
secured the Southern Conference
title and outscored its nine regular
season foes by a 114-0 cumulative
count. The term “Iron Dukes” was
taken from Bill Cox, then a reporter
for the Virginian Pilot.
In the regular season finale, the
third-ranked Blue Devils hosted
fourth-ranked Pittsburgh in front
of 49,138 fans at Duke Stadium.
Played in a snow storm, Duke won
by a 7-0 score with the lone touchdown coming when Bolo Perdue
blocked a Pittsburgh punt and recovered it in the end zone. The game
featured 16 punts by Duke’s Eric
Tipton, with 14 of them pinning
Pitt inside its own 20 yard line.
Duke then traveled to Pasadena,
Calif., for the Rose Bowl, where a
late touchdown – the first points
given up by the Blue Devils all
season – by Southern California
propelled the Trojans to a 7-3 win
in front of 93,000.
Tipton and Dan Hill served as
team captains of the famed team,
and both earned first team AllAmerica honors. Robert O’Mara
was the top offensive threat, rushing
for 703 yards on 162 attempts and
scoring a team-best five touchdowns. Tipton added 577 rushing
yards on 129 carries.
The starting lineup included
Perdue (left end), Frank Ribar (left
tackle), Fred Yorke (left guard),
Hill (center), Allen Johnson (right
guard), Bob Haas (right tackle),
Bill Bailey (right end), Bob
Spangler (quarterback), Willard
Eaves (left halfback), Tipton (right
halfback) and O’Mara (fullback).

1942 ROSE BOWL GAME
Duke vs. Oregon State
Following the bombing of
Pearl Harbor in December of 1941,
large crowds were not allowed to
assemble on the West Coast. This
action forced the Rose Bowl to look
for an alternate location for its
contest, and bowl officials accepted
an offer from Duke to have the game
in Durham, marking the only time
the game has not been played in
Pasadena.
Duke Stadium served as the
site of the 1942 Rose Bowl, a tilt
that pitted the Blue Devils against
Oregon State. Duke had won the
Southern Conference championship
and was a perfect 9-0 on the season,
while the Beavers were champions
of the Pac 10.
With the score knotted at 14-14
in the third quarter, Oregon State
took the lead for good when Gene
Gray hauled in a 68-yard touchdown pass from Bob Dethman.
After a safety pulled the Blue Devils
within 20-16, Duke got inside the
Oregon State 35 yard line three
times, but could not score.
Steve Lach, who finished with
124 rushing yards on 12 attempts,
and Winston Siegfried scored
touchdowns for Duke while Tom
Davis added 80 yards.
The Rose Bowl appearance
marked Duke’s second in four
seasons under Wallace Wade, and
capped another outstanding season
for the Blue Devils. Lach received
first team All-America honors while
tackle Frank Ribar and center Bob
Barnett, the team’s captain, were
named to the second and third team
squads, respectively.

BOWL GAMES
1942 Rose Bowl
Oregon State 20, Duke 16
January 1, 1942 • Durham, N.C.
The Blue Devils’ famed “Iron Dukes”, with cocaptains Dan Hill and Eric Tipton leading the
way, entered the Rose Bowl having completed
the regular season unbeaten, untied and
unscored upon, but Southern Cal ruined
that perfect season in the final minute
of Duke’s first bowl appearance.
Coach Wallace Wade said, “I
hated to see the boys lose it when
they played such a great game. We
did well as long as they used only
two teams, but when they put
in those third and fourth teams,
they were too much for us.”
But Duke probably won
more national fans that day than
they would have had they won.
Bill Stern’s NBC radio broadcast
went into homes here and abroad
and millions of fans mourned with
the Blue Devil faithful.
The game itself rocked back
and forth for three quarters, mostly a
punting duel between Granny Lansdell
and Mickey Anderson of the Trojans and
Tipton of the Blue Devils.
Late in the third quarter, Lansdell booted
one to George McAfee who returned it 26 yards
to the Trojan 49, and two plays later, McAfee took a
pass from Tipton and went to the USC 25.
After Roger Robinson, Tipton and Bob O’Mara had picked up nine yards in three
rushes, Tony Ruffa booted a field goal and Duke led, 3-0, with just a minute played in
the fourth quarter.
With seven minutes remaining in the game, a Duke fumble gave the Trojans the
ball on the Blue Devil 10-yard line, but three plays later they were back at the 15-yard
line and then missed a 24-yard field goal attempt.
It looked like Duke had it, but with two minutes to go and the Trojans on the
Duke 35, coach Howard Jones sent in Doyle Nave, their number four quarterback. He
simply completed three straight passes to Al Krueger, their number two left end, with
the clincher coming from the 16-yard line.
But the game was not over. On the very last play, Tipton threw a forward pass
to McAfee who went 17 yards to the Trojan 40-yard line where the final Trojan caught
him.

The 1942 Rose Bowl game is like no other in the
history of this famous contest. Large crowds had
been banned on the West Coast due to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and bowl
officials accepted an offer from Duke to
host the game in Durham, making this
the only time the game has ever been
played outside of Pasadena.
Often called the most hectic
week in Durham’s history, the final
days leading to the transplanted
1942 Rose Bowl only served as
a prelude to what transpired
on the field of play. Not
even a steady rain that chilled
the 56,000 spectators at Duke
Stadium could detract from a
marvelously contested affair
between the Southern Conference champion Blue Devils and
the invaders from Oregon State.
Coach Wallace Wade’s team,
during a 9-0 regular season, averaged
34.5 points a game and scored at least
50 three times, making them the secondhighest scoring club in the country.
The Blue Devils promptly fumbled
away the opening kickoff to their guests.
That play certainly set the tone for the rest of the
afternoon.
The Beavers’ first scoring march started on their own 49 and proceeded to inside
the Duke 20 before it ran into a snag at the 15. It was third down and eight to go and
everyone in the stadium knew it was a passing down except Don Durdan. He took the
toss from center and dropped back a few feet as if to pass. Duke’s onrushing linemen
stormed in but were caught by surprise when Durdan took off running around the
right and crossed the goal line without being touched.
Steve Lach scored Duke’s first touchdown, scampering into the end zone on a
reverse from four yards out. Durham’s own Bob Gantt converted the extra point to tie
the score at 7-7.
The third period featured three
touchdowns. The first one was the

BOWL GAMES
In a game that sportswriter Grantland Rice called, “one of the greatest thrillers of
all time,” the Blue Devils were forced to come from behind twice in the Sugar Bowl.
Despite its 5-4 record, Duke again was cast in the favorite’s role. After a 61-7
crunching of Richmond in the season opener, Duke
lost in succession to Pennsylvania, North
Carolina Pre-Flight, Navy and Army. The
Blue Devils had gained much prestige
with their showings against the service
academies and was the only team to
hold a lead on Army all season.
Duke’s explosive offense,
nicknamed the “Whiz Kids” for
its speed and wide-open style of
play, was led by running backs
Tom Davis and George Clark
as Davis picked up 101 yards
on 27 carries and Clark 123
on 14 with each adding two
touchdowns.
The lead changed hands
four times and Coach Eddie
Cameron, who was in charge of
the Blue Devils during Wallace
Wade’s war absence, found his
team down 19-7 midway in the
second quarter. The score was not
ultimately settled until the final play
when Duke’s Gordon Carver pulled
down an Alabama receiver on the 24yard line as the clock expired.
As expected, Cameron’s charges started
the game with a flurry, scoring the first touchdown just 2:25 into the contest. It took only five plays
for the Blue Devils to cross the goal line. Clark returned the opening
kickoff and then ran around left end on the first play for a gain of 52 yards. Three plays
later, Clark scrambled for the TD with a PAT success from Harold Raether.
Alabama, led by quarterback Harry Gilmer who completed all eight of his passes
for 142 yards, came back with three straight scores for a 19-7 lead.
It was now time for a Duke comeback, and Cameron decided to try the passing
attack. He installed Cliff Lewis and he promptly engineered a 63-yard scoring drive.
Lewis pitched once to Raether for 13 yards, then to Carver for 15. Next, Lewis ran
around the right side for 26 yards to
the 2-yard line. Davis scored the TD

Seeing their first bowl action in 10 years, the Blue Devils,
champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference, represented the league in the Orange Bowl and
came away with an impressive 34-7 win over
Nebraska.
It was Duke’s rushing game that
proved too tough for the ‘Huskers as
the Blue Devils tallied 288 yards to
Nebraska’s 84. Duke gained 370 total
yards to the slim 110-yard attack that
Nebraska mounted.
After a scoreless first quarter,
Duke unleashed a relentless offensive attack. On the first possession
of the second quarter, captain
Jerry Barger directed Duke 65
yards to its first score. The senior
quarterback hit end Sonny Sorrell
with a 22-yard pass for the biggest
gainer of the drive. Left halfback
Bob Pascal had an 11-yard run in
the series and climaxed the march
with a seven-yard jaunt around the
end untouched. Jim Nelson’s extra
point made it 7-0 with 11 minutes to
play in the first half.
Later in the quarter, Nebraska’s number two quarterback, Don Erway, tried to pass
from his own 20-yard line. Duke fullback Bryant
Aldridge intercepted downfield and returned the
ball to the 21, and three plays later the Blue Devils were
on top 14-0. Jerry Kocourek scored the TD on a pefect two-yard pass from Barger just
28 seconds before halftime.
“That intercepted pass gave us that second touchdown and put us on the ice,”
said head coach Bill Murray. “Nebraska had a good, tough team. But we got the big
break. Nebraska gave us the big chance with that pass and we took advantage of it.”
After Nebraska made it 14-7 in
the third quarter, Duke took the next

BOWL GAMES
Duke found its return trip to the Orange Bowl
a little sour in 1958.
First of all, 1957 marked the last year that
the ACC would send its champion to the
Orange Bowl, and Duke made it because
league leader N.C. State was on NCAA
probation. On top of that, the Blue Devils
were paired against highly-favored and
4th-ranked Oklahoma.
Duke, which started out the
1957 campaign with a 5-0 record but
ended the regular season 6-2-2, kept
pace with the 9-1 Sooners through
the first three quarters.
No one, however, could have
expected the game to be decided
the way it was — by the Sooners
turning six Duke mistakes into
touchdowns.
Duke served up the Sooners’
first two scores as Oklahoma built an
early 14-0 lead. Blue Devil mistakes
also accounted for the Sooners’ final
four as Oklahoma scored 27 points in
the fourth quarter to break open a 21-14
nail biter. The six strikes came on quick
conversions of two Duke fumbles, two Duke
interceptions, a blocked punt and a wild snap
from center.
Oklahoma’s first conversion came after Duke
moved deep into Sooner territory. Quarterback George Harris
tossed a wild pass into the right flat which David Baker picked off at the six-yard line
and ran it back 94 yards for paydirt.
Soon after, Oklahoma was back

Duke won its fourth ACC football title in 1960 and landed squarely in its first
Cotton Bowl. But don’t get the impression that the Blue Devils and their 7-3 record
rolled into Dallas on a high note. Coach Murray’s team lost its last two regular season
games and had plenty to prove when it met Arkansas.
Two of the nation’s premier passing teams were to showcase their aerial talents,
but it was defense that proved to be the final factor. Quarterback Don Altman led the
Blue Devil attack as the Blue Devils captured a narrow 7-6 victory over Arkansas in Duke’s only
trip to the Cotton Bowl.
The first ever tilt with the Hogs
marked one of Duke’s all-time great
comeback victories. The Blue Devils
didn’t have far to come back from but
they waited until the very end and did
it in a dramatic fashion.
After a scoreless first half,
Arkansas’ great back, Lance Alworth, ended the shutout with 2:53
remaining in the third period by
returning a Duke punt 49 yards
for a touchdown. Duke stopped
the extra point when Dave Unser
broke through the line to smother
the attempt.
Finally, Duke’s offense came
to life in the fourth quarter. Arkansas
had yielded only one touchdown in
its final four regular season contests.
Duke knew the yards would come
tough, and they did. The Blue Devils
managed only 189 yards for the game
and 73 came on one drive.
Duke’s game winning touchdown
drive came in the face of this defense and can
only be called remarkable. With gritty determination, the Blue Devils marched 73 yards into the teeth
of the Razorbacks and scored with just 2:45 to play. Altman
engineered the drive which featured no long gains and took 18 snaps to accomplish.
Two of those plays were fourth down conversions and six were passes hauled in by
All-America end Claude “Tee” Moorman.
Three plays leading up to the TD were considered especially devastating from the
Razorbacks’ side of the field. First, there was a seven-yard pass from Altman to Bob
Spada after Altman had appeared to be trapped for a long loss. Then, Duke had thirdand-three on the Arkansas 30-yard line
and the Hogs suspected a pass in the
flat to Moorman. They guessed right

BOWL GAMES
After sharing the ACC title and making its first
bowl appearance in over 25 years, Duke had its
sights set on the first nine-win season since
the Rose Bowl team of 1941.
The Blue Devils came into the game
winners of seven straight after a 1-3 start.
The record-setting squad was led by
ACC Coach of the Year Steve Spurrier
and his “Airball” attack featuring
All-America wide receiver Clarkston
Hines.
Texas Tech running back
James Gray quickly dashed those
thoughts, though, as the Red Raiders scored the first four touchdowns
of the contest to take an early 28-0
lead and set the tone for an eventual
49-21 Duke loss.
The first 20 minutes were
dominated by Texas Tech, which
finished with 339 first-half yards,
and Gray, who set an All American
Bowl record with three touchdowns
in one half. Duke turned the ball over
three times and fell behind 28-0 before
a quick rally made it 28-14 at the half.
Sophomore quarterback Dave Brown
came in to lead Duke on two quick scoring
strikes. The first drive took but 25 seconds and
two plays with Bud Zuberer hauling in a 30-yard
pass down the right sideline with 8:03 left in the half. The
second took 50 seconds and four plays, with Dave Colonna catching a 25-yard scoring
pass over the middle with 2:31 to go in
the half.

The Blue Devils battled back from a disastrous first
quarter to tie Wisconsin at 13-13 in the second half
of the 1995 Hall of Fame Bowl But when push
came to shove, it was the Badgers’ huge offensive
line that did the pushing and shoving, paving
the way for the 241 rushing yards by Terrell
Fletcher and a 34-20 Wisconsin win.
Wisconsin opened the scoring just six
minutes into the contest when Jeff Messenger returned a Spence Fischer interception
19 yards for a Badger touchdown. Fischer
actually had three interceptions in the
game’s first eight minutes after throwing
just five interceptions in Duke’s last nine
regular season games.
The Duke defense kept the game
close with a fourth down hold at the
Duke 3 and then forcing Wisconsin
to kick two long field goals in the first
quarter.
Fischer rebounded in the second
frame, directing the Blue Devils to two
scoring drives, including a 13-play, 90yard drive capped by a Robert Baldwin
7-yard run for paydirt. At the end of the
half placekicker Tom Cochran was true on a
30-yard effort to make it just 13-10 heading into
the locker room.
Duke responded in the second half with another
Cochran field goal 6:30 into the third quarter to tie the
score at 13 apiece.
After that, the Badgers’ offensive line took full force, marching 78 yards on 10
plays - all on the ground to take a 19-13 lead. Ray Farmer blocked the point after to
leave the Blue Devils just six behind. Wisconsin scored the eventual winning score
midway through the fourth quarter when quarterback Darrell Bevell hooked up with
Jason Burns for an 11-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion made it 27-13.
Even then, the Blue Devils were
not through. Fischer rallied the Blue

BEN BENNETT - ACC LEGEND
One of the legends in ACC football history, Ben Bennett enjoyed a phenomenal
career at Duke from 1980-83 and continues to hold school standards for career
passes attempted (1,375), passes completed (820), passing yards (9,614) and
touchdown passes (55) ... A third team All-America choice in 1983, the Sunnyvale, Calif., native is one of just three players in ACC gridiron history to earn
league Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors, joining Philip Rivers
of N.C. State and Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech ... Bennett showcased his
signal-calling skills as a freshman in 1980 when he set school single-game records for pass completions (38) and passing yards (469) in a 27-24 loss to Wake
Forest ... He would go on to twice receive first team All-ACC honors in 1982
and 1983, and finished his career as the NCAA’s all-time leading passer with
9,614 yards ... Bennett is one of just four players in the ACC since 1970 to lead
the league in total offense for consecutive seasons, and continues to rank among
the league’s all-time leaders in total offense, passing yardage, touchdown passes,
passes attempted, passes completed, 300-yard passing games and 400-yard passing games ... After representing Duke in the prestigious Hula and Japan Bowls,
Bennett was a sixth round choice of the Atlanta Falcons in the 1984 NFL Draft,
played with the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears, and
then went on to a Hall of Fame career in the Arena Football League.

CHRIS DOUGLAS - DUKE’S ALL-TIME LEADING RUSHER
Duke’s all-time leading rusher, Chris Douglas etched
his name into the ACC record books as one of the league’s
most versatile running backs in conference history ... The
Sherrills Ford, N.C., product is one of just four players
in ACC history to register 500-plus rushing yards and
20-plus pass receptions in four seasons, joining Robert
Lavette (Georgia Tech; 1981-84), Warrick Dunn (Florida
State; 1993-96) and Leon Johnson (North Carolina;
1993-96) ... Douglas, who is Duke’s all-time leader in allpurpose yards (5,748) and rushing attempts (695) as well
as rushing yards (3,122), also ranks among the school’s
career leaders in 100-yard rushing games (3rd with 10)
and rushing touchdowns (4th with 21) ... He earned
All-ACC recognition twice in his career as an honorable
mention pick in 2001 and a first team selection in 2003,
and was tabbed to the Academic All-ACC Football unit
three times ... The last three weeks of his collegiate career
were certainly memorable: On November 8 in Durham,
Douglas rushed for a career-high 218 yards and two
touchdowns in Duke’s 41-17 win over Georgia Tech ...
One week later at Clemson, he surpassed Steve Jones
as Duke’s all-time leading rusher, and then in his final
game as a Blue Devil on November 22 in Chapel Hill,
Douglas rushed for 119 yards and one touchdown in a
30-22 victory over North Carolina, snapping a 13-game
losing streak to the Tar Heels ... Douglas, who earned
the Jim Tatum Award as the ACC’s top football-playing
senior student-athlete, signed a free agent contract with
the NFL’s New York Giants in May of 2004.

Tielor Robinson
Spence Fischer, who engineered Duke to seven straight wins to open the 1994 season, remains as the school’s all-time leader in total offense ... A four-year starter for the Blue Devils from 1992-95, Fischer joined Ben Bennett and Steve Slayden as the only players in Duke
history to lead the Blue Devils in passing for four consecutive seasons, and he finished his
career having completed 788-of-1,369 pass attempts for 9,021 yards and 48 touchdowns ...
He remains one of just six quarterbacks in ACC history to amass 9,000-plus yards through
the air ... As a junior, the Atlanta, Ga., native directed the Blue Devils to an 8-4 record
and an appearance in the Hall of Fame Bowl against Wisconsin ... For the 1994 regular
season, Fischer hit on 204-of-346 (.590) throws for 2,285 yards and 16 touchdowns against
just eight interceptions ... He established career single-game bests versus North Carolina
on November 19, 1994 by completing 33-of-57 passes for 395 yards and four touchdowns
in a 41-40 loss to the Tar Heels ... The next season against Virginia, Fischer completed 35
passes to fall just three successful tosses short of Ben Bennett’s school single-game standard
... Blue Devil fans knew instantly that the 1991 graduate of The Lovett School would be a
hit when, on the first pass of his collegiate career, Fischer threw a 60-yard scoring strike to
wide receiver Jon Jensen against Florida State ... He would also display his versatility as
a reserve pitcher for Duke’s baseball team in the springs of 1992 and 1993, and as Duke’s
second string punter where he booted a 74-yarder — sixth longest in Blue Devil history
— at Georgia Tech on September 24, 1994 ... He was a sixth round pick of the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the 1996 NFL Draft.

KICKING & PUNTING RECORDS
ALL-TIME POINTS LEADER - SIMS LENHARDT
Duke’s all-time leader in both total points and field goals, Sims Lenhardt starred for the Blue Devils from 1996-99 ... During his tenure, Lenhardt racked up 240 points on 55 field goals
and 75 point after touchdown conversions and earned All-ACC accolades three times, garnering second team honors in both 1998 and 1999 and a first team citation in 1997 ... In addition,
the Charleston, S.C., native and 1995 graduate of Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., was a three-time Academic All-ACC choice ... Known for both accuracy and leg strength,
Lenhardt produced six field goals of 50 yards or more including a career-long 54-yarder against Vanderbilt in 1998 ... His six 50-yarders are the most in Duke football history, and he also
holds school standards for field goals made in a season (16 in both 1997 and 1998) and consecutive PATs made (62) ... Lenhardt also booted many key field goals for the Blue Devils:
• 27-yarder with 51 seconds remaining in the fourth period to guide the Blue Devils to a 20-17 win over Army on September 20, 1997 in Durham
• Four total field goals including three in the second half of a 26-17 triumph over Navy on September 27, 1997 in Durham
• Another four field goal performance, making good from 25, 45, 53 and 54 yards out, in a 36-33 double overtime loss to Vanderbilt on October 31, 1998 in Nashville
• 32-yarder with 1:48 left in the final quarter to lift Duke to a 19-16 victory over Wake Forest on October 10, 1998 in Winston-Salem
• 50-yarder as time expired in the fourth period to send Duke into overtime with N.C. State on October 23, 1999 in Durham ... The field goal against the Wolfpack pushed Lenhardt into
a tie for first place on Duke’s scoring chart with Clarkston Hines (234 points) ... With his extra point in the second quarter of Duke’s 25-22 win over Maryland on October 30, 1999,
Lenhardt became the Blue Devils’s all-time leading scorer

A state-wide radio audience follows all the
action of Duke football on The Duke Radio Network. The network provides in-depth pregame
coverage, live play-by-play of all the action, and
the post-game press conferences straight from the
locker room to numerous stations via satellite each
game. The one-hour tailgate show is hosted by
John Roth.
Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Harris, the
voice of the Blue Devils for 32 seasons, calls all
the action for Duke fans each game.
Analyst Wes Chesson is in his 28th season
providing color commentary for Duke games.
Chesson, an All-ACC receiver from 1968-70,
holds five Duke receiving records, hauling in 164
catches for 2,399 yards in his career. He went on
to play with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons (1971-73)
and Philadelphia Eagles (1973-74).
Anthony Dilweg, the 1988 ACC Player of the
Year, joins the broadcast team for his 10th season,
serving as the sideline reporter. A quarterback
at Duke, Dilweg established school single-season
records for passing yards (3,824) and touchdowns
(24) in 1988. He was a third round selection of the
