Hoping to Rebound!!
Season Report Posted: September 28, 2008 23:02
The Duke Blue Devils are looking to improve this year from the disappointing 1-11 finish in 2007. Duke got huge help with the #1 ranked QB in the nation Matt Jahns from Wisconsin committing to Duke. "I was looking to play for a team that needed some rebuilding and Duke was a perfect place." says Matt. He is an All-around player, great speed, great arm, he can even kick and play defense. The Athletic Director believes Duke can be really good this year and even make it to the top 25 so he scheduled tough games early for the Blue Devils. To start off the year they get to travel to Athens to take on #1 Georiga and then head back home for 4 straight home games against #5 Florida, #6 LSU, #7 Missouri, and then Virginia Tech. The Blue will be relying heavily on Jahns as he will be playing Quarterback, Punter, Kicker, and also SS. So good luck to Duke hopefully this year turns out good.
