Duke's David Cutcliffe not happy with timing of ACC rescheduling announcement
Duke found out on Saturday morning that its game against Virginia would be rescheduled for nearly two months earlier. Coach David Cutcliffe didn't take issue with the move, just the fact that it was announced a few hours before the team kicked off.

00:00 Yeah, I don't think there's any question we all know that Notre Dame's got.
00:03 First of all, that offensive line's probably got five future NFL players
00:08 up front on defense.
00:10 I would say four to five of them that rotated didn't play will do the same.
00:15 They picked up some help in the secondary with McLeod.
00:19 I think they're better there.
00:20 So I don't think it's a fact that Notre Dame's not strong.
00:23 I think we're a better team than we were a year ago.
00:27 >> Yeah, I wasn't particularly pleased that it was public because I walk in
00:31 the pregame mill and they all have their phones and that's what they're talking
00:35 about because that's their world of social media and announcements.
00:39 And distractions have been more than a handful.
00:44 So it's okay, happen, gotta put it behind us.
00:48 You gotta be able to handle anything that's put out there to you.
00:52 We found out about it last night.
00:54 I chose not to tell the staff or the team this morning because I did not want
00:59 them distracted with that, but sometimes it's just out of your hands.
01:03 I don't know what I felt.
01:07 I never really felt in total rhythm.
01:10 When you're running the ball and you're blending the run and
01:15 you're blending getting on the edge.
01:17 And I just think we gotta take a real good look at what we wanna be.
01:20 Now you've evaluated your quarterback under game conditions.
01:24 We've looked at the people we've got.
01:27 I think we'd be really good up front on offense, but
01:31 I'm gonna take a good hard look at what I think what you do is do what your
01:35 personnel does best.
01:37 When you do that, you will get in a rhythm.
