My guess is that the two weeks was focused more on Duke's offense. Coach Cut is smart enough to know we are going to get our points, and we are going to limit his possessions. Duke was manhandled by Miami's defense, so they have to be better offensively. Every possession for them will have to be money. There will be a lot of passes coming our way. I hope we are ready and somewhere find a pass rush.
Wow! Where can I listen to or read those comments in original context? Dude's gonna make my sh-- list it looks like.
I guess this is a compliment? Cutcliffe sees GT as the rival for the smart but good athlete. The same kinda kid he needs to get at Duke. So he flaps his gums about "something something Manning...something something pedigree..."
Vandy tried negative recruiting against us. See where there are now? That's where you are going Duke.My understanding is that Cutcliffe may be a great coach and all but that he has seriously engaged in negative recruiting against Tech since he got there and this may be some evidence of what he likes to say on that topic. I am very curious to read his comments. I guess he deems it a strategy he needs to use against Tech and so sees us as a main competitor over recruits.
I do know that CPJ's teams have played them as if they circle the game on the calendar every year without regard to either teams current conference standings going into it. Same seems to go for UNC so maybe CPJ just likes to try and whoop schools from his own home state.
Why would we have an incentive for Duke? Are you sure?
I looked up the PDF of the contract (also linked at the article below), and there is no mention of Duke.
Cutcliffe's the next PSU coach?
Yeah it seemed very strange to me if DRad or CPJ would have ever come up with that as an incentive. I could see possibly throwing in an incentive to beating UGA but other game bonuses tied to a specific team would be very odd and need an explanation.
