When riding a 22 game losing streak, and that last win was against 1-AA VMI in 2005, it doesn't matter who you beat. All that matters is just getting the win. Duke finally got a win. A win that ends so many losing streaks. By beating Northwestern 20-14, they did more than snap a 22 game losing streak. It was their first 1-A win since beating Clemson in 2004 (24 games), and their first road victory since 2002 (25 games).
That's an amazing run of ineptitude and bad football that rivals the giants of bad football -- Temple, Buffalo, FIU, Baylor and Eastern Michigan. Duke has been the king for the past couple of years.
At long last, the Blue Devils can, for at least a while, escape the conversation of worst team in 1-A for the year. Congrats to Duke and Ted Roof for getting his 6th career win as the Duke HC.

YAY! Go Duke! It's a long time coming............ I was feeling bad for our guys. Whew!
Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!
Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!
THERES ALWAYS BASKETBALL AT DUKE THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!LOLOLOL
First 1A win since 2002, huh? Pathetic, especially for a school that thinks of itself as great. I don't care what else they do, allowing a football program like this to exist for the better part of a decade says all that Duke talk about excellence in everything one does is BS! How has the administration allowed this hoorible and highly visible performance?
Oh, well...at least we can chalk at least one other win up for Michigan this season, what, with Northwestern being beaten by either the first or second worst team in 1A and with Michigan having just beat the other team that is either the first or second worst in 1A...
I'm sorry, but Duke doesn't know the meaning of bad football. Northwestern still holds that dubious distinction. A 22 game losing streak doesn't come close. The record is somewhere near 33.
Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!
