- credit to Duke for having a coherent game plan and sticking to it. Their goal was to keep Lamar off the field. They ran down the play clock, they made sure they controlled the ball, almost all their pass plays were screens which are easy catches and keep the clock running, their screen passes basically made our edge rushers useless
- essentially Duke ran 2 plays all night!! They ran right up the middle or threw a screen pass. I really cannot believe they gained any yards. Also I cannot imagine watching that offense week in and week out
- the play-calling by UofL before the last missed field goal was atrocious. First of all, we should have been running down the play clock. And then to run a reverse there was almost inexcusable. I think we got really cute and forgot that we were ahead by only a field goal. That whole series was managed like there was 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, not 2 minutes left in the game.
- Duke did a solid job containing Lamar. That was obviously something they were selling out for, so it is a little surprising we weren't able to get more receivers or tight ends free.
- yes, we did not get the "style points" victory. But the reality is that we need other teams to lose for us to get into the playoffs and we need to win. This game will be long forgotten once Washington, or Michigan, or Ohio State or whomever loses
