Following Duke coming back from 17-0 at halftime 20-0 in the 3rd quarter Saturday to knock off North Carolina 21-20 Duke Defensive End VJ Anthony had this to say!
The sewer is basically our offseason workout,” Duke defensive end VJ Anthony said. “With Coach Feeley, we put ourselves through the sewers for moments just like this. And so we know teams can’t compete with us when we drive them through the sewer. The sewer is the whole game, and we really drag them through the deep end in the fourth quarter.”
As a team mindset, we drag them through the sewer in the fourth quarter,
It’s not allowing points, scoring two or three touchdowns. So, yeah, that’s the sewer for you.”

Following Georgia Tech’s 31-19 loss to Louisville Georgia Tech Head Coach Brent Key had this to say!
That’s two losses . We’ve had two opportunities on fourth and 1 to keep the game moving referring to another failed 4th down conversion in a loss at Syracuse. That’s something that we will work on to address it. We look at it and we will have a plan to improve on that.
