In a perfect world, Manny Diaz and Duke would be able to ease into this season with a new starting QB and significant changes on both sides of the football. While the Blue Devils do face a Group-of-Five opponent, it is one that has won 43 games in the last four years: the Tulane Green Wave. Junior RB Jamauri McClure has an injured foot and was seen riding a mobility scooter in practice on Tuesday. Will Hall said McClure would be back early in the season but not necessarily in the opener against Duke. Even without McClure, Tulane figures to provide a significant test for Duke in the season-opener.
