[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 182061, member: 1036"] Was at the game in Durham, about fifteen rows behind the Tech sideline. The defense really did well after the 1st quarter was over. But generally speaking, the players looked listless for almost the entire game. No energy at all on the sidelines, except for a short bit in the 2nd half when it looked like the Jackets might take the lead. Given the stakes in the Coastal, I was expecting the stadium to be bursting with Duke fans. Maybe the rain and lack of attendees might have affected things. A hostile road environment can often be more of a motivator than a 2/3 empty stadium. Regardless, a team has to show up and play. The Duke players were prepared and looked like they were having fun the whole game. Durham is a strange place, though... Every day feels like a rainy day there, even when the sun's out. On the punt return play, the Tech punting unit was way back in its own territory... You could hear almost every Duke fan gasp when he got that punt off. It seemed to travel a mile, and the return man had to backpedal to track it down. You hate to see any kick get run back, but especially a beautiful punt like that! [/QUOTE]
