Move over Coach K: Make room for Coach Cut.

The head Devil making things happen.

Something good is happening in Durham and it doesn't involve roundball or hardwoods. It's Duke Blue Devil football. That's right! Duke is off to its best start at 4-1 since 1994 when the Blue Devils were 5-0 and went to a bowl game for the last time.

On Saturday, Duke snapped a 12 game losing streak to Wake Forest and moved one step closer to bowl eligibility. That's a big deal for Duke. Their offense is starting to roll, having scored 185 points in its first five games, the highest five game total to open a season in school history. And guess what? Duke now has the same record as Clemson and Miami.

The Quarterback Whisperer.

So what's behind the resurgence in Durham? It starts with the quiet, unassuming leadership of Head Coach David Cutcliffe who has an enviable track record of developing young talent especially quarterbacks. His resume includes the Manning boys, Peyton and Eli, Heath Shuler, Andy Kelly, Eric Ainge, and Tee Martin, among others.

And, for the first time since opening in 1929, Wallace Wade Stadium is getting a major face-lift with seating expansion and other major renovations including a new press box and luxury suites.
