Summary
- Duke achieves a surprising 3-0 start after losing key player.
- Two ESPN projections place Duke in post-Christmas bowl games.
- Blue Devils aim for a fifth consecutive bowl game appearance.
Duke's football team has achieved an unexpected 3-0 start to the season, defying pre-season predictions. This success comes after the departure of star quarterback Darian Mensah to Miami, leading many to expect a challenging year for the Blue Devils. With a final non-conference game against William & Mary upcoming, Duke is poised to enter October undefeated.
ESPN's bowl projections currently place the Blue Devils in two distinct post-Christmas games. One projection suggests a Pinstripe Bowl appearance on December 26th at Yankee Stadium against Northwestern. Another projection places Duke in the Military Bowl on December 28th in Annapolis, Maryland, facing South Florida.
These projections position Duke to potentially secure their fifth consecutive bowl game invitation, a significant milestone for the program. The team is currently halfway to becoming eligible for this historic achievement.
