Arguably a top 6 back in UM history. So sad we didn't put his talent on the national platform that it deserved.

I remember it like it was yesterday.I'll never forget his first game as a freshman where he scored two 50+ yard rushing touchdowns against BC, it was amazing
Miami definitely beats Va Tech and Duke so yes they finish 11-1 and are playing FSU again for the ACC ship.in 2013 before he got injured vs FSU, I think he was going to make a run for 2,000 yards rushing.
I maintain if he plays, UM wins at least another game or two that season

I think what hurt more was knowing that was probably the last time we would get to see him in a Canes uniform.I was at the Golovkin-Curtis Stevens fight that night at MSG, so I had to leave right after Devonta Freeman hit that screen for a TD to put FSU up 28-14. I got the sense it was the Noles night, so I headed to the fight. About 45 minutes later I see on Twitter that Duke got hurt
honestly, that injury to me felt worst than the loss itself.

Them ***ers were twisting his ankle under piles that year and the next year alsoI was at the Golovkin-Curtis Stevens fight that night at MSG, so I had to leave right after Devonta Freeman hit that screen for a TD to put FSU up 28-14.

Arguably top 6? He was game changer in any era at the U..imo it’s
1. Edge
2. Duke
3. Willis
4. Gore
5. Portis/ ottis
if gore was healthy he’s 2 ahead of Duke and Willis imo..I got Duke so high because if you give Duke the lines and talent around that position from 99-03 I think he goes even crazier while at the..just basing this list on what they did on the collegiate level..Duke came in as freshman and lit it up. His sophomore campaign was on pace to be historic until cut short..his junior year he had to get it back and wasn’t himself for the first couple games and still balled
Yea..one season tho..behind that oline..and talent around him..he was historicWillis had the greatest Canes RB season ever, can't put him below duke

The best one I heard was during the USF game in 2013, the commentator said “A little stiff arm from the Duke of Coral Gables.” As much as I hate Rece Davis he always had some good ones too.I miss yelling "The Duke is loose" every time he broke out.
