Adelson and Hale ACC Spring preview

Opening line on Dook: ": In Mike Elko's first year as head coach, Duke's defense went from the worst in the ACC -- and among the worst in the country -- to being respectably middle-of-the-pack thanks to drastically improved tackling, a better pass rush and 26 takeaways, nearly twice its 2021 total."

I feel like this is bait or precursor to your favorite diatribe, but still, it was an impressive turnaround. Their O and D were impressive... How quickly we forget about Cut (hated him).

Those kind of turn arounds are more than possible, if you have the right staff. That Mack hasn't done in 4 years, much less one, says that he has not had the right staff on D.

Dook football would be deader than dead if not for Cutcliffe. He did enough to pump life in. And Elko did at least that much last year. They should not betaken lightly.
