Welcome to year 15 of my Duke Blue Devils TCY Dynasty. Feedback is always welcome.
Year 14 was an utter disappointment. Losing in the quarters to San Diego State...then watching Rice win it all. Basically the same team we beat a year earlier by a lot. Trust me. :D

RB Emmitt Ward has been inducted to the Duke Hall of Fame. (We get our first inductee in the school's hall of fame. Emmitt is still the career leader in rushing attempts with 907 and is 2nd all-time in rushing yards (3967)...total yards (5267)...rushing TD's (44) and total TD's with 55.)
Defensive Coordinator Lewis Pritchett has retired from his position as defensive coordinator. (More like pushed out after his defense finished 114th in pass defense last season).
And Clemson has hired a new coach...Desmond Bettencourt...former Kent Head Coach.
Hirings
Defensive Coordinator - Chester Van Pelt (52) Chester was our best bet after Pritchett left. Van Pelt was Connecticut's D-Coordinator last year and is pretty average all around except for our two favorite categories...Injury Avoidance and Rehabilitation...in which he is Excellent and Terrific respectively.
Scouts
New England - Mitch Meraz (45) Small upgrade here.
