Duke defensive end Chris Rumph II wasn't happy with a loss in the opener, but just getting to play the game after going through so much was like a win for the program.

00:00 >> Yeah, well, first of all, you gotta give credit to everybody,
00:03 not only in our AD Kevin White and Miss Nina, but the whole ACC for
00:09 coming up with a plan, executing it perfectly and for
00:11 allowing us to even play the sport that we love.
00:14 Everyone top to down did what they had to do, especially here.
00:18 We're a tight knit group, we're brothers, and we had to do what we had to do
00:23 to keep each other accountable and have each other's back so we could be here today.
00:27 And so overall, it was just a team win for the whole Duke program and the ACC.
00:33 I like the fight that we had.
00:35 If you can fight for four quarters, no matter who you're playing against,
00:38 you're gonna be in the game.
00:40 And we have a lot of young guys who stepped up today.
00:43 I'm so proud of the young linebacks that played.
00:45 They did an amazing job coming in.
00:48 They coming out of high school into their first college game against Notre Dame.
00:51 So I can't ask any more of them.
00:53 Like I said, I mentioned Derek Tangelo, Dwayne Carter, Gary Smith,
00:56 Ben Fry, the D Tigers did a great job stopping the run,
00:59 which we had troubles with last year.
01:00 But overall, we're excited.
01:02 We know we made a couple mistakes, shot ourselves in the foot with me,
01:06 getting off sides on Josh's interception.
01:08 That's all on me.
01:09 So we'll get that tightened up.
01:10 And the only thing about week one is you're gonna get better.
01:13 So we're planning to do that.
01:15 We're gonna watch a lot of film and correct those mistakes.
01:17 And we have a great coaching staff that's gonna get us prepared for
01:20 Boston College next week.
01:22 I don't think Duke 11 are gonna be the only team.
01:23 I'm pretty sure.
01:24 I saw North Carolina have Black Lives Matter shirts on there.
01:27 So I think everybody in society is starting to realize the social injustices
01:31 that are happening in this country.
01:33 They started to open their eyes and realize that black lives do matter and
01:36 that we deserve social justice.
01:39 And that's just the shirts and what we're displaying on our helmets are just
01:43 a remembrance of what we have to accomplish as a country and home.
