Week 1: Duke (0-0) vs FIU (0-0)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - FIU (C)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - FIU (B-)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - FIU (C+)

Duke 37 - FIU 24

True Frosh Joe Ross started at QB today and played very inconsistent, going 13/34 for 265 yards with a TD and 2 INT. With a road trip to Stanford next week, he'll give way to Sean Renfree, but for his first start this wasn't totally bad as we did win.

Desmond Scott would add 78 yards on the ground on 18 carries, as we unveiled a new spread offense, focusing more on the throw but not to an extreme amount.

Vernon had a career day with 6 grabs for 183 yards and a TD, while Watkins also added 4 grabs for 70 yards.

On D, Chaz Morse had 15 tackles (1 TFL) and an INT. Austin Gamble added 12 tackles (3 TFL) and a sack. Drew and Daniels would also notch sacks and that was enough to get it done.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 1

- USC spaks Syracuse 42-10. MLB Jace Hunter had 4 solo tackles (1 TFL) in his debut for the Trojans.

- Texas handles Wyoming 35-11. MLB Dayne Ho does not see the field.

- Penn State thumps Ohio 33-7. HB Nicolas Fillion does not see the field but SS Dat King does, deflecting a pass in his debut.

- Ohio State beats Miami of Ohio 28-13. QB Rob Nielsen plays the fourth quarter, struggling as he completes only 4 of 12 passes for 35 yards. MLB Sam Jolley does not play.

- Boise State destroys Bowling Green 34-6. WR Bug Kappe has 1 catch for 22 yards in his collegiate debut.

Recruit Updates

- DT Nick Scott scores offers from Florida, LSU, Auburn and Georgia, but none of them go ahead of the others. It's all very even early on.

- WR Ian Tasan has offers now from Texas and Notre Dame. Those two are slightly ahead of FSU and Michigan amongst others.

- QB Chez Opeake gets an offer from Duke, putting him outside his top 4 which now consists of Texas, LSU, Maryland and Wisconsin. Duke is the only school to offer.

- WR Chris Prewitt gets an offer from Illinois, putting them out to a decent lead over Notre Dame amongst others.

- WR Real Diehl gets an offer form Florida, but Tennessee is still #1 for him, just barely.

- HB Dan Ertmann gets an offer to Oklahoma, putting them in front of Notre Dame. Right now it's really just those two schools though anything could happen there.

Week 2: Duke (1-0) @ Stanford (0-0)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - STAN (B+)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - STAN (B)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - STAN (B)

Duke 35 - Stanford 14

Renfree shows the young QB Joe Ross how to get it done on the road, as we paste Stanford 35-14. A lot can be attributed to Desmond Scott who had a big day, but Renfree was solid going 23/44 for 384 yards and 2 TD - 2 INT. He will take the next one off vs Memphis before we let him go start ACC play.

Desmond Scott was a monster with 24 carries for 175 yards and 2 TD, including an 88 yard run. His day didn't end there either as he caught 4 balls for 103 yards.

Meanwhile Vernon was a machine with 13 catches for 245 yards and a TD. He could rewrite Duke record books at this pace, though obviously it is early. Rs Fr Jones scored his first career TD also.

On D, White and Drew get sacks, and Gamble and Daniels each have 7 tackles. Also our FS Brooks adds a pick six and this one wasn't even as close as the score suggests.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 2

- Virginia upsets Penn State 21-16. Nicolas Fillion doesn't see the field again, and once again Dat King has a pass break up to his credit.

- Florida stomps Illinois 36-10. Dan Schoonover does not play for the Gators.

- Boise State blanks FCS Northwest 38-0. Bug Kappe had a nice day with 5 grabs for 68 yards while also returning 1 kickoff for 27 yards and 8 punts for 59 yards.

- Oklahoma survives a scare from North Texas, just eeking out a 14-10 win. TE Dave Tasan had 6 grabs for 37 yards in his debut for the Sooners.

- Virginia Tech stomps ECU 52-27. WR Deacon Palmer played but dropped the only pass thrown his way.

- Ohio State puts up 50 vs Bowling Green as they beat them 50-17. Ohio State was lead by Rob Nielsen, who is now replacing an injured Kenny Guiton. Guiton will miss 7 weeks with a torn abdomen. Nielsen shaky at times, going 11 for 29 for 141 yards, but he did throw 3 TD with 0 INT. Meanwhile Sam Jolley made his debut with 3 solo tackles.

Recruit Updates

- Florida and LSU distance themselves somewhat from Georgia and Auburn for Nick Scott, but don't look now, as Duke has quietly moved into 7th.

- No changes for Ian Tasan besides Texas getting a little more cushion over Notre Dame, though not too much.

- Maryland moves to #1 for Chez Opeake, but just barely ahead of Texas and Duke. Should LSU or Wisconsin offer though this list could change yet again.

- Still just Illinois for Chris Prewitt. They have seen their lead grow a bit larger over the field after this week.

- Alabama is the new leader for Real Diehl after they offered the 6'6" WR. Next is Florida, then Tennessee,, then the rest of the field.

- Dan Ertmann still favors Oklahoma and Notre Dame though only OU has offered at this point.

[DeToxRox]

Week 3: Duke (2-0) vs Memphis (0-1)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - Memphis (C)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - Memphis (C+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - Mephis (C)

Duke 23 - Memphis 7

Joe Ross may have not been his most accurate but wow, he was good. He competes 24 of 52 passes for 386 yards with 2 TD and 0 INT and we beat Memphis 23-7.

Scott would run 17 times for 62 yards. Good, not great, but it allowed us the threat of the run and we just picked them apart.

Vernon continues to be amazing with 11 grabs for 126 yards and 2 TD, while Watkins would add 5 grabs for 123 yards and Jones added 5 for 79.

On D, Foxx has an INT and a sack, Smith has a sack, Gamble has 9 tackles and Morse has 8, and just basically, our key guys made big plays. Now we head into a home tilt with Virginia before a murderer rows schedule with the top of the ACC on the horizon.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 3

- USC beats Texas A&M 20-14. Jace Hunter continues to be solid with 4 solo tackles and a pass break up.

- Va. Tech beats Georgia Tech 27-16 in ACC play. Deacon Pamer does not play in this game.

- Penn State blanks Temple 30-0. Nicolas Fillion does not play. Dat King does see the field a little bit and notches a tackle.

- Florida rolls Eastern Michigan 44-10. Dan Schoonover does not see any time vs Eastern Michigan.

- Ole Miss knocks off #3 Texas 10-3. Dayne Ho does not play for Texas.

- Ohio State improves to 3-0 beating #9 Cal 34-30. It was not a good day for Rob Nielsen as he was 11/33 for just 118 yards with a TD - INT. Sam Jolley did play as well, recovering a fumble during the game.

- Boise State improves to 3-0 beating Utah 21-16. Bug Kappe was held without a catch but did have a 16 yard kick return.

Recruit Updates

- Florida and LSU move up to distinguish themselves as the clear 1 and 2 for Nick Scott, though Duke also moves up to 6th. This one should be an interesting recruitment.

- Florida offers Ian Tasan, but they have work to do to catch Texas & Notre Dame. That said they have time as this one doesn't seem like it'll end any time soon.

- Wisconsin offers QB Chez Opeake and now sit 3rd, knocking Duke to 4th, just barely. Still not much separates #1 Maryland and the field.

- Illinois continues to lead for Chris Prewitt. At this point it seems unlikely he goes anywhere but Illinois.

- Alabama has taken a nice lead over Florida for Real Diehl. Still I doubt this one ends any time soon.

- Still just OU for Dan Ertmann though his interest in Florida has moved them up. Also, Duke is now #9 for him as they're the only other team besides the Sooners to offer. This one bears watching.

[hoopsguy]

- Illinois continues to lead for Chris Prewitt. At this point it seems unlikely he goes anywhere but Illinois.

I would be very pleased by this turn of events.

I - L - L!

I - N - I!

[Coffee Warlord]

That would be Rob Nielsen, STARTING quarterback.

Though need to work on that whole accuracy thing.

Nielsen was probably the best recruit I made because I think his potential is astounding. He has 99 throwing power but 75 accuracy. He would've benefited most from a RS but I suspect he'll turn into a machine by his Junior year.

Week 4: Duke (3-0) vs Virginia (2-0)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - UVA (B)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - UVA (B+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - UVA (B)

Duke 39 - Virginia 20

We decide to give Joe Ross the start vs Virginia with a tough slate of games upcoming and wow, he goes 31/51 for 578 yards with 3 TD - 2 INT! He was just a machine out there today and this is with a game plan set on only 60% throw.

Scott only ran for 33 yards but obviously he was not called on much.

We had 3 100 + guys with Watkins collecting 9 for 221 and a TD, Vernon catching 9 for 163 and a TD, and Hall collecting 4 for 108. Kurunwune would also score.

On D, Morse and Sowell collect INT's, Daniels gets a sack and Jones adds 11 tackles.

An all around good effort.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 4

- USC thumps Wazzou 44-14. Jace Hunter collected a tackle and a pass deflection.

- Oklahoma thumps Central Michigan 48-20. Dave Tasan was relatively quiet with 2 grabs for 9 yards.

- Texas survives vs Arkansas State 27-21. Dayne Ho does not play.

- Penn State beats Oregon 27-17. Nicolas Fillion and Dat King do not play.

- Boise State knocks off Utah State 18-16. Bug Kappe had 1 catch for 8 yards.

- Florida beats Tennessee 31-7. Dan Schoonover does not play.

- Pitt knocks off Va. Tech 27-18. Deacon Palmer did not play.

Recruit Updates

- Florida, LSU, Tennessee and Georgia all make significant movement on Scott's list in that order. Auburn also offers and Duke is in 6th trailing by a decent amount. As of now Florida has a decent lead.

- Notre Dame leads for Ian Tasan after a week 4 visit but not by much. Texas is still in a great position here.

- It's Maryland, Texas, Duke, Wisconsin for Opeake. Duke had a good week 4 visit but it didn't make much of a dent.

- Illinois continues to put ground between them and the field for Prewitt. If other teams offer this could become interesting but for now it is not.

- Alabama and Tennessee lead for Real Diehl but Tennessee has not offer. If the Vols do offer I'd suspect they take over #1.

- No changes for Dan Ertmann. OU hasn't taken a big lead so it seems Ertmann might be waiting for an offer from someone else. Illinois has moved to a solid #4 despite no offer.

Week 5: Duke (4-0) @ Virginia Tech (2-1)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - VT (A+)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - VT (A+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - VT (A+)

VT 26 - Duke 7

Renfree got the nod on the road today and just did not play well at all. He was 17/33 for 157 yards with a TD and 2 INT. This is his MO vs good teams and it's disturbing. I think Ross might just take over for good at this point.

Not much to note on offense, but on D John Smith had 10 solo tackles, Drew had 9 tackles, 3 TFL and a sack, and CJ Daniels had 5 tackles, 3 TFL and a sack. We'll just get 'em next time I s'pose.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 5

- BYU thumped Boise State 38-17. Bug Kappe had 1 catch for 7 yards and 3 kick returns for 60 yards.

- Penn State beat Minnesota 20-14. Neither Nicolas Fillion nor Dat King saw the field for Penn State.

- Baylor upsets Texas 24-13. Dayne Ho did not play.

- Florida moves to 4-0 after blitzing Kentucky 47-21. Dan Schoonover did not play.

- Ohio State moves to 4-0 beating Northwestern 35-10. Rob Nielsen was 18/31 for 236 yards with 3 TD - 3 INT. Sam Jolley had 1 tackle as well.

- Oklahoma rocks Texas Tech 41-24. Dave Tasan had 2 catches for 31 yards during the game.

- VT beat Duke 26-7. WR Deacon Palmer did not play.

Recruit Updates

- Florida has really taken a lead for Nick Scott, but Tennessee is right there. Following them is LSU, Georgia and Auburn. As of now though he looks like a Florida lean.

- Notre Dame is back in front for Ian Tasan after a good week 4 visit. Texas is close, and Florida and new offeree Michigan follow. As of now though it's still a two horse race.

- Maryland is now #1 for Chez Opeake, as he has serious interest in the Terps. Texas, Duke and Wisconsin follow that up with it still being very close.

- Illinois still leads easily over the field for Chris Prewitt but an offer from any of the other 9 teams on his list could make it interesting.

- Alabama, Tennessee and Florida for Real Diehl. Nothing has changed here except for those three distancing themselves further from the pack.

- OU continues to push for Dan Ertmann and he will be in Norman this week for a visit. Duke is still 5th as his only other offer, and as of now he will be in Durham week 10.

Week 6: Duke (4-1) vs Miami (2-2)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - Miami (A)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - Miami (A+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - Miami (A+)

Duke 26 - Miami 12

About damn time! This one we owe to Sean Renfree who was benched but when Joe Ross bruised his hip and left the game, Renfree came in and gave us a huge huge huge win. He finished with 285 yards and a score with no INT and earned back his starting job, at least for the next two weeks.

Vernon was back to his usual self with 8 grabs for 151 yards and Watkins had 6 for 78. Little used FB Joe Guerrero would score his first ever TD on a pass play as well.

On D, John Smith had 12 tackles and a pick. Foxx and Drew had sacks and Sowell had a pick six. Add in 4 FG from Henderson and there is your game. A great all around effort tonight.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 6

- Boise State gets by Nevada 24-20. Bug Kappe had 3 grabs for 13 yards and 2 kick returns for 48 yards.

- Ohio State beats UAB 27-10. Rob Nielsen was 14/36 for 202 yards with 2 TD and no INT. Sam Jolley would add a tackle.

- Va Tech beats North Carolina 38-27. Deacon Palmer did not play.

- USC beats Cal 38-24. Jace Hunter was an animal with 7 tackles (4 TFL) and 2 sacks to help USC to move to 4-0 and #2 in the rankings.

- Oklahoma beats Texas 26-23 in OT. Dave Tasan had 2 grabs for 37 yards, including a TD on a 30 yard catch. Dayne No did not play.

- Penn State beats Wisconsin 20-16. Fillion nor King played for PSU.

- Florida trounced LSU 59-33. Dan Schoonover did not play for Florida.

Recruit Updates

- No changes for Nick Scott. Still looks like Florida's to lose but Tennessee and LSU are closing in.

- It's now Notre Dame by a nose over Texas. Florida is picking up steam and Michigan has some stuff they need to do to catch up.

- Texas jumps out in front of Maryland after a good visit with Chez Opeake. Duke and Wisconsin are still 3 and 4. This could end up a two team race though with the Longhorns and the Terps.

- No changes for Chris Prewitt. Illinois continues to lead. His recruitment seems very close to Jace Hunters last year.

- Alabama now has full interest with Real Diehl. A week 12 visit could give them a commit, though Florida is charging and will have him in week 8.

- Dan Ertmann has committed to Oklahoma!

[Coffee Warlord]

Completion percentage is overrated. Spray and Pray for the win!

Touchdowns win games.

OU over Texas in Dave's first Red River Shootout. Its gonna be a tough house if Ian goes to Texas.

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - GT (B)

Duke 34 - Georgia Tech 27

Wow. We go into GT and win, and do it with Joe Ross no less! Last week he was injured and said he'd be done two weeks so I never bothered with my depth chart and figured Renfree would start but a Questionable Joe Ross comes in and absolutely shreds the Georgia Tech D to the tune of 327 yards on 19/39 passing wit 5 TD - 2 INT! This kid is for real.

Watkins would be superb with 7 grabs for 126 yards and 3 TD, while Vernon had 4 for 66 and a TD and Rs Fr Quinton Jones had 2 for 55 and a score. Just some great work by the WR.

On D, Joe Smith had 12 tackles (2 TFL). CJ Daniels had 10 tackles (3 TFL) and a sack and Jones had 10 tackles as well.

This is a GT team in a down year but regardless this is a massive win for our program.

- Florida is 6-0 after pounding South Carolina 38-17. Dan Schoonover did not play.

- USC is now 5-0 after killing Stanford 45-16. Jace Hunter had 5 tackles and a TFL in the winning effort.

- Va. Tech beats Florida State 34-30. Deacon Palmer did not play.

- Texas beats Mizzou 27-20. Dayne Ho did not play.

- Hawaii beats Boise State 24-19. Bug Kappe had his best game as a Bronco with 4 grabs for 50 yards and a TD.

Recruit Updates

- Florida, Tennessee and LSU are all full for Nick Scott now, while Georgia and Auburn also make a move. He will be at Florida this week and that could end up being the push the Gators need to land him.

- Notre Dame and Texas now have full interest in Ian Tasan but Florida has closed the door. Tasan will be in Florida this week with Scott.

- It's Texas, Maryland, Duke in front for Chez Opeake, with Wisconsin trailing in 4th. Texas nearly has full interest but Maryland is close. He has a week 13 visit with the Terps and if he is still undecided by then that could make them the favorites.

- Nothing new on Chris Prewitt. Illinois keeps putting distance between them and the pack. He won't visit Illinois until Week 13 but it could be over before that.

- Alabama is now full interest with Real Diehl but Tennessee is right there without an offer. Should they offer they could be the leaders. Florida is also not far behind and like Tasan and Scott, he will be in Gainsville this week.

Week 8: #25 Duke (6-1) @ #17 Florida State (4-2)


OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - FSU (A+_
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - FSU (A+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - FSU (A+)

FSU 37 - Duke 7

Ross was reinjured early and Renfree couldn't find a rhythm only throwing for 120 yards with a TD and 2 INT.

We didn't move the ball, we didn't stop them, we just got blitzed basically.

FSU is still way more talented then us so obviously we have to fix a lot of things if we want to be a true ACC contender.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 8

- Boise State beats New Mexico State 28-17. Bug Kappe had 1 catch for 29 yards.

- Va. Tech thumps Clemson 47-17. Deacon Palmer did not play.

- Florida beats Georgia 35-26. Dan Schoonover did not play.

- USC mashes Oregon 52-3 and is now #1 in the Nation. Jace Hunter had 4 tackles (2 TFL) and a sack.

- Texas beats Texas Tech 33-17. Dayne Ho did not play.

- Oklahoma beats Kansas 35-30 and now sits #2 in the Nation. Dave Tasan was held without a catch.

- Ohio State beats Iowa 34-10. Rob Nielsen was 13/35 for 206 yards with a TD and an INT. Sam Jolley did not play.

Recruit Updates

- Nick Scott officially commits to Florida!

- Florida is now #1 for Ian Tasan but Texas & Notre Dame are at full interest still. He has a visit with UT week 13.

- Texas, Maryland and Duke still sit 1-3 for Chez Opeake. Texas and Maryland are full interest but Duke has been making steady progress. Still it looks like UT and Maryland are the ones to beat.

- Illinois now has full interest for Chris Prewitt. I doubt he even makes it to his week 13 visit without committing first.

- Alabama and Florida lead for Real Diehl, but Tennessee is full interest as well without an offer. He has visited Tennessee and Florida, and will be at Bama week 12. This is an interesting one to watch.

Week 9: Duke (6-2) @ Wake Forest (3-4)


OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - WF (B)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - WF (B+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - WF (B+)

Duke 34 - Wake Forest 28

Joe Ross does it again. By no means was he great, or even very good, but he won going 21/50 for 306 yards with 2 TD and an INT against one of our rivals.

Vernon continues to be absurd with 9 grabs for 205 yards and both TD's. He is making a play for the Heisman with the way he is going right now.

Joe Smith would have 9 tackles (3 TFL) and a sack. CJ Daniels had 8 tackles (4 TFL) and a sack, and Foxx added 6 tackles (4 TFL) and 2 sacks.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 9

- Boise State rolls San Jose State 41-7. Bug Kappe had 1 grab for 47 yards.

- Penn State beat Iowa 20-13. Dat King had 2 tackles. Nicolas Fillion did not play.

- USC moves to #1 beating ASU 45-28. Jace Hunter had 2 tackles.

- Oklahoma States Oklahoma 35-19. Dave Tasan was held to just 9 yards on 1 catch.

- Florida beats Auburn 41-28. Dan Schoonover did not play.

- Va. Tech rolls BC 41-7. Deacon Palmer did not play.

- Texas beats Colorado 31-20. Dayne Ho did not play.

- Ohio State doubles up Indiana 40-20. Rob Nielsen was 17/32 for 228 yards with 3 TD and 1 INT. Sam Jolley did not play. OSU's QB Guiton is expected back next week so Nielsen will probably not start.

Recruit Updates

- Florida, Texas, Notre Dame for Ian Tasan. A week 9 visit to Michigan though put the Wolverines in a good position but it doesn't seem likely they make up ground quick enough to take him. Week 13's visit to Texas should be the deciding factor for Tasan.

- No changes for Chez Opeake. Duke continues making up ground but it looks too little too late. Week 13's visit to Maryland will be interesting. He also is at Wisconsin week 12 who still have an outside chance.

- Nothing new for Chris Prewitt. He visited Michigan week 9 who separated themselves as his #2 but have not offered. A UM offer might change things but I doubt it.

- Alabama is still #1, but Tennessee, sans an offer is 2, and Florida is 3. Alabama has a week 12 visit that could seal the deal for them unless the Vols finally offer.

Man chesapeake, we should make our guys a package deal at Texas. We'd be unstoppable.

I'll sign that deal. My wife's uncle was a professor at Texas before he died, and was by all accounts a good guy. So I'm warming up to that possibility.

Please, just not Wisconsin. With all the choices I have, a cold weather state is a big fat no.

You could always back me up for 3 years at OSU. I need a good clipboard holder.

[DeToxRox]

I implore you all if you want to create another guy, do it. I'd like to have at least 5 created guys per season. It helps me stay eager to keep moving on not that it would end any time soon but it adds the immersion.

Week 10: Duke (7-2) vs Clemson (5-3)


OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - Clem (B+)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - Clem (B+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - Clem (B+)

Duke 26 - Clemson 23

Joe Ross was not good today but he was serviceable and Desmond Scott bailed him out with his first big game of 2012 to give us a nice win vs the Tigers.

Ross was 24/49 for 230 yards with a TD and 2 INT. Not great but the ups and downs of a Freshman are something we just have to deal with.

Desmond Scott however would run 26 times for 104 yards and a TD to give us a balance we haven't really had all season.

Vernon was great as usual with 11 grabs for 106 yards and a TD. He continues to be the safety net for our QB's.

On D Jones had 10 tackles, 4 TFL and a sack. Smith had 8 tackles with 2 TFL. Daniels and Foxx each had sacks and Morse had an INT.

We just made plays when we needed them.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 10

- Penn State smashes Ohio State 41-9. Nicolas Fillion did not play but Dat King saw the field, chipping in with two tackles. Rob Nielsen ended up getting the start for OSU, going 10/26 for 160 yards with an INT. Sam Jolley did not play.

- Oklahoma beats Texas A&M 28-10. Dave Tasan had 5 grabs for 31 yards and a score vs the Aggies.

- Ole Miss upsets Florida 27-24 in OT. Dan Schoonover did not play.

- USC drubs Arizona 38-17. Jace Hunter had 2 tackles.

- Texas beats Oklahoma State 24-20. Dayne Ho did not play.

- Va. Tech trounces Miami 31-0. Deacon Palmer had 2 grabs for 17 yards.

Recruiting Update

- Texas, Florida, Notre Dame, Michigan in that order for Ian Tasan. Assuming all goes well with his visit to UT one would think he'll be a Longhorn.

- No changes for Chez Opeake aside from Duke again charging hard but it doesn't seem likely he ends up in Durham.

- Nothing new on the Chris Prewitt front. Still suspect he'll be a Fightin' Illini sooner rather then later.

- Alabama and Florida are top 2 for Real Diehl. Tennessee seems like they can have him if they offer but still nothing.

This is the last of the Tasan brothers. I hear there's another line of kids in Jr. High that all play football real well that'll be coming out of Spring, TX real soon. I think its 4 brothers.

Week 12: #24 Duke (8-2) vs North Carolina (7-3)

OFFENSE: Duke (B-) - NC (A)
DEFENSE: Duke (B+) - NC (A+)
OVERALL: Duke (B) - NC (A)

Duke 41 - North Carolina 23

Joe Ross has his first taste of the rivalry with the Tarheels and explodes, going 23/43 for 333 yards with 3 TD - 2 INT. He was a man possessed for us and for a true freshman, he is so far ahead of the curve it is scary. He also ran 7 times for 82 yards and a TD!

Vernon was a machine as usual with 10 grabs for 197 yards and 2 TD, while Watkins had 10 grabs for 83 yards and a TD. These guys are a dynamic duo.

On D, John Smith had 10 tackles, 4 TFL and 2 sacks. Foxx would also add a sack and Sowell had an INT.

A damn impressive win today.

[DeToxRox]

Around the NCAA: Week 12

- Ohio State stomps Purdue 49-10. Rob Nielsen goes 19/39 for 309 yards with an amazing 6 TD - 1 INT. Guiton is still questionable so that is why he has kept starting. Sam Jolley collected a tackle.

-Baylor upsets Oklahoma 41-38. Dave Tasan had 7 catches for 69 yards in the loss.

- Penn State beats Indiana 34-13. Dat King had 3 tackles, a deflection and a fumble recovery while Nicolas Fillion did not play.

- Va. Tech beats Virginia 31-7. Deacon Palmer had 3 catches for 20 yards.

- Boise State beats Idaho 38-24. Bug Kappe had 3 catches for 15 yards and a TD.

- USC is 10-1 after beating previously undefeated Oregon State 31-13. Jace Hunter had 3 tackles.

Recruiting Updates

- Chris Prewitt is still a silent to Illinois. He will be in town for them this upcoming week so I suspect it'll be over soon after.
