and then we get into the full ACC.

We take a break.

We have a week off, and we get into the full ACC schedule at Georgia Tech against North Carolina, at Virginia, Boston College coming to Durham, at NC State, at Miami November 14th.

We have circled that one on the calendar for sure.

Clemson comes to Durham, and then our final game at Wake Forest.

Donald, I think this is one of the tougher schedules I've ever seen for a Duke football team.

What's your assessment of it?

They changed the tiebreaker rules already.

Well, and like you say, those final four games, three of them are on the road.

Clemson's the only home game.

Duke, you know, obviously you never know how the season's going to go.

Rosters change, all kinds of injuries, you name it.

Duke is at least somewhat likely to be an underdog in all of those games in November.

The other thing that stuck out to me, Donald, so there's one bye.

And your bye week is really important to teams.

You need time to rest, to maybe do a reset on some things, get healthy.

Football is being healthy.

We saw it this past year for Duke where our linebacking core was just decimated.

So the bye week is a crucial thing.

And I think Duke just got the worst possible bye week we could.
