[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 634205, member: 274"] I'm a believer that winning games against the Temples, UNCs, Pitts of the world boils down to simply not beating yourself. That means: [LIST=1] [*][B]No penalties - [/B]we were outstanding first two games and disastrous in game 3 [*][B]No turnovers - [/B]or as a fallback, win the turnover battle. Saw a stat previously that a turnover is generally worth 4 points. Against Clem, we gave up 4 compared to their 3. Against USF, we tied 2 to 2. Against Cit, we had no turnovers and got an INT. Too soon to tell what our MO is here. [*][B]Solid special teams - [/B]Harvin is great. Kicking is not. Return game hit and miss; mostly miss if not for Oliver's kickoff returns. [*][B]Stick with what's working - [/B]definitely have some concerns here. On O, we have almost no tendencies to a fault, whether it's who plays QB or the play calls and who is getting the rock. Obviously we have some limitations, but the question is whether we're maximizing our ability within those limitations. [/LIST] This is the formula that has made Duke successful despite having middle to below avg talent the last several years. It's not necessarily sexy, but it works really well in college football and the encouraging part is that it's mostly within our control. [/QUOTE]
