Duke Is Hosting NC A&T For Their 2021 Home Opener Tonight In Durham

Tonight Duke is hosting NC A&T for their 2021 home opener!

In this game Duke who is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference is searching for their first win of the season!

Why?

Because they come into this game with a record of 0-1!

Why?

Because they were topped by Charlotte a week ago today by a score of 31-28!

Where?

Charlotte North Carolina!

Charlotte scored the go ahead ahead touchdown with 33 seconds remaining to ultimately clinch the upset after Durant had put Duke in front 28-24 with under two minutes to play.

Why?

Charlotte’s four touchdown drives covered 80, 75, 92 and 75 yards. The final two came on the 49ers last two possessions, erasing Duke leads both times.

Though, Duke isn’t the only team searching for their first win of the season as NC A&T who is a member of the Big South Conference is too!

Why?

Because like Duke they lost their season opener and started the season 0-1 but unlike Duke NC A&T lost at Furman by a score of 29-18 on Saturday September 4, 2021!

In that game both teams had two turnovers apiece. Furman scored off both of A&T's turnovers. A&T scored zero points on Furman turnovers.

So what could be the difference between a win, loss for Duke?

Picking up where they left off finding maintaining rhythm that found in the second verses Charlotte a week ago!

David Cutcliffe had this to say about Duke’s rhythm in last Friday’s game verses Charlotte.

That is a rhythm can continue ,” It’s not going to be easy because if we don’t perform balanced then people stock the line of scrimmage”

Kickoff is set for 8:00pm from Brooks Field @ Wallace Wade Stadium!

The game is going to be televised on ACC Network!
