Since 2005, Duke has started 11, 10, 7, 7, 7, 9, 10, 7 and 7 starters. Please note that no write up was done in 2013. They look to start 11 this season. Kelby Brown is a great LB but has been unlucky with injuries, TE Braxton Deaver has injury history as well but is a beast when healthy. It looks like Cutliffe is returning to his roots with starting the prototypical type QB in Thomas Sirk. They also are starting a snow patrol.

Players to look out for include QB Parker Boehme, TE Eric Schneider, TE Davis Koppenhaver, S Corbin McCarthy, DE Michael Mann. They have a decent number of white LBs and DBs but none are listed on the two deep depth chart.


Offense
QB - Thomas Sirk
WR - Max McAcaffrey
TE - Braxton Deaver (medical issues)
LT - Gabe Bradner
LG - Lucas Patrick
C - Matt Skura
RG - Cody Robinson
RT - Casey Blaser

Defense
DE - Kyler Brown
DT - AJ Wolf
LB - Kelby Brown

I'm loving the previews Leonardfan! Duke will be a team I follow for McCaffrey and Deaver. I really hope both have big seasons.

Now not to nitpick, but isn't a "snow patrol" an all White linebacking corps? I believe the all White Oline was named a "snow plow". Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I want to make sure I'm using all the accurate CF lingo going into football season. :beer:

Kelby Brown could be a draftable prospect but who knows. I thought David Helton would get drafted but he ended up signing with jets as free agent. He was coming off an injury but Helton had 347 career tackles!

It looks like I'll have to catch some Duke games this year. Thanks for the write-up, Leonardfan! Definitely a team to follow. Who would've thunk their football team would ever be more white friendly than their basketball team?
