Sad how our own fans bash this kid. Truly.
He's not the Second Coming as some proclaimed but he is a god**** gifted football player and a **** fine young man. Zero trouble, all production.
Cant. Wait.
Im wondering. Second coming of what? He's a great player along the lines of Canes Greats Gore, Edge, McGahee, Portis, etc.
Take that in a heart beat. Kid had almost 1000 yards rushing through only half of a season. Not to mention didn't finish the unc, fsu and usf games. And sat out early from Savannah St game. Duke was in the top tier for yardage and average before he went down.
His loss was huge to this team. Really think he would have altered our season a bit if he was able to play still. Plays with his heart and his career is far from over. With the circumstances of the offense this year too, we could be looking at some record breaking by Duke. He will get tons of touches. He's well up in the record books already. Dare I say if he stays for his senior year and healthy, possibly have the best total career of any back who came here.
Duke was on pace for about 1400-1500 just rushing and probably 12 TDs or even more. This is not even factoring he missed time in games like FSU, UNC, SVU, and USF. ****, Duke was ready to kill UNC, looking like he was on pace for over 200+. And against FSU really looked like one of the few players for us who had a pulse.
And of any back returning in college ball with 300 carries or more. Duke averages the most yards per touch. We have a SPECIAL player.
