00:00 And now move on to a crosstown game here with Duke,
00:03 a game that's been played since 1924,
00:06 and only my second time in eight years
00:08 getting to play against Duke,
00:09 and first time playing them in Carter-Finley.
00:12 I know they'll be very well coached.
00:15 I know they've had a tough go of it with turnovers,
00:18 but they are a really talented group on the defensive line,
00:22 a really good football coaching staff,
00:24 and I know their kids are smart and they're tough,
00:27 and they will play really hard against us.
00:31 Just looking at them overall, like I mentioned,
00:34 they've turned the ball over 19 times,
00:36 and you can't win doing that.
00:38 I know that'll be an area that they work really hard on.
00:42 They're quarterbacks of Clemson Transfer, as you guys know.
00:45 You know, their running backs really stand out to me.
00:48 They're tough kids. They run hard.
00:50 They're downhill.
00:51 They don't get tackled on first contact very often.
00:54 Their receivers have good size,
00:57 and the 6'5" receiver in Bobo and the tight ends
01:00 are leading receiver.
01:01 And so, you know, nothing we haven't seen
01:04 as far as what they do.
01:05 They're spread, no huddle, pistol offense,
01:08 and all the elements that you see from spread.
01:11 You know, for us, it's going to be about getting better,
01:14 continuing to work hard on stopping the run,
01:18 on being sound, playing hard, playing,
01:22 you know, 11-man defense.
01:24 You look at them on defense, I mentioned this already,
01:27 but just turning the tape on,
01:30 51 and 96 jump off the film on their defensive line.
01:34 They're very impressive.
01:35 They're very well coached up front.
01:37 They're disruptive.
01:40 But you take those two ends, and together,
01:42 they've got 10 TFLs and nine sacks between the two of them.
01:47 They're powerful guys.
01:48 Their Mike Linebacker makes a lot of plays.
01:50 You know, they're not an overly complicated group.
01:53 They play really hard.
01:54 They line up where they're supposed to.
01:56 They have good eye discipline and coverage.
01:59 They've got 18 sacks and 32 TFLs in their game,
02:02 so they can cause some problems.
02:04 They've been put in a lot of tough situations
02:06 defensively because of their turnovers,
02:09 and so obviously that's made their statistics
02:10 a little skewed.
02:12 But they do jump off the tape, D-line-wise.
