The Duke Blue Devils football team represents Duke University in the sport of American football. The Blue Devils compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The program has 17 conference championships (7 ACC championships and 10 Southern Conference titles), 53 All-Americans, 10 ACC Players of the Year (the most in the ACC), and have had three Pro Football Hall of Famers come through the program (second in the ACC to only Miami's four).[2] The team is currently coached by David Cutcliffe and play their home games at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

Although Duke has mostly struggled since the mid-1960s, the Blue Devils are currently undergoing a renaissance under Cutcliffe. Duke secured their first Coastal division title on November 30, 2013 with a win over arch-rival North Carolina. Additionally, the Blue Devils cracked the top 20 of the BCS standings, the AP Poll, and the Coaches' Poll during the 2013 season and very nearly scored an upset over a potent Texas A&M team in the 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl, losing by only four points after jumping out to a 38–17 lead at halftime. In 2014, Duke followed up with a 9-win season, including a victory over eventual Orange Bowl winner Georgia Tech, and another close bowl loss to 15th-ranked Arizona State in the Sun Bowl. In 2015, the Blue Devils broke through for a 44-41 overtime win over Indiana in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.

History

Early history (1888–1930)

John Franklin Crowell, Duke football's first head coach

The Duke Blue Devils, then known as the Trinity Blue and White, first fielded a football team in 1888, coached by John Franklin Crowell.[3] The first game against North Carolina was the first "scientific" game in the state.[4] Trinity finished the first two seasons in their football history with records of 2–1 in 1888 and 1–1 in 1889.[5] From 1890-1895, Trinity competed without a head coach.[6] The 1891 team went undefeated.[7][8] Trinity did not compete in football from 1895 to 1919.[9] The Trinity Blue and White resumed football competition in 1920 under head coach Floyd J. Egan, compiling a record of 4–0–1 that season.[10] In 1921, they finished 6–1–2 were led by James A. Baldwin, previously the head coach at Maine.[11]

In February 1922, Herman Steiner was selected as the head coach of the Trinity College football team for the 1922 season.[12][13] During the 1922 football season, Steiner coached the Trinity football team to a 7–2–1 record as the team outscored its opponents 156 to 57.[14][15] E. L. Alexander took over the reins of the Trinity Blue Devils in 1923 and led the team to a 5–4 record.[16] In their first season competing as Duke University, Howard Jones took over in 1924 and led the Blue Devils to a 4–5 record before leaving for USC.[17] Former Indiana head coach James Herron led the Blue Devils to another 4–5 record in 1925.[18] From 1926 to 1930, the program was led by head coach James DeHart who compiled a 24–23–2 record during his tenure.[19] DeHart led the Blue Devils, an independent for all of its history up to that point, into the Southern Conference in 1928.[20]

Wallace Wade era (1931–1950)

Wade at Vanderbilt, c. 1921

In late 1930, Wallace Wade shocked the college football world by leaving national powerhouse Alabama for Duke.[21] He had been at Alabama since 1923, after assisting Dan McGugin's Vanderbilt Commodores during two undefeated southern championships.[22] An upset by the Florida Gators in 1923 is all that stopped Alabama from a conference title in Wade's first year.[23][24] In 1924 he won the SoCon title,[25] and in 1925 and 1926 won national championships.[26] His 1925 team was the first Southern team to win a Rose Bowl.[26] Wade was under fire at Alabama after lackluster seasons in 1928 and 1929, which included narrow losses to Robert Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers.[27][28] Wade submitted his resignation on April 30, with the caveat that he coach next season.[29] John Suther described the feeling before the Tennessee game that year, which Alabama won 18–6. "Coach Wade was boiling mad. He was like a blood-thirsty drill sergeant anyway, and those critics made him more fiery ... He challenged us to help him shut up the loudmouths that were making his life miserable."[30] In his final year at Alabama, Wade won his third national championship.[31] Though Wade refused to answer questions regarding his decision to leave Alabama for Duke until late in his life, he eventually told a sports historian he believed his philosophy regarding sports and athletics fit perfectly with the philosophy of the Duke administration and that he felt being at a private institution would allow him greater freedom.[32] Wade's success at Alabama translated well to Duke's program. He sent former Alabama players and future Duke assistants Herschel Caldwell and Ellis Hagler to the school a year early to prepare a team.[33] Duke won 7 Southern Conference championships in the 16 years that Wade was coach.[34] He also led the team to 2 Rose Bowls. Wade served a stint in the military in World War II, leaving the team after the 1941 season and returning before the start of the 1946 season.[32] Wade's achievements placed him in the College Football Hall of Fame.[32]

In 1933, Duke, led by North Carolina's first first-team All-American Fred Crawford,[35] upset Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers by a score of 10-2.[36] It was Tennessee's first loss in over two and a half seasons.[37][38] It caused Neyland to say of Crawford: "He gave the finest exhibition of tackle play I have ever seen."[39] The most famous Duke football season came in 1938, when the "Iron Dukes" went unscored upon for the entire regular season.[32][40][41] Duke reached their first Rose Bowl appearance, where they lost 7–3 when Southern California scored a touchdown in the final minute of the game on a pass from a second string quarterback to a third string tight end.[42][43]

While Wallace Wade was serving in the military, Duke football assistant coach Eddie Cameron was promoted to head coach to fill in for Wade until his return from service.[32][44] Cameron's Blue Devils teams were successful, going 25–11–1 in Cameron's four seasons as head coach, highlighted by an 8–1 1943 season.[45][44] Cameron's 1944 team won the Sugar Bowl, beating Alabama 29–26.[32][44] Cameron would go on to serve as Duke's athletic director from 1951–1972,[44] and for his service to the athletics program and the university as a whole, Duke named their basketball arena after him, Cameron Indoor Stadium, where the Blue Devils basketball teams still play their home games today.[44]

Duke would be invited again to make the trip to Pasadena, California for the 1942 Rose Bowl, this time to play Oregon State.[32] Due to fears of additional west coast attacks by the Japanese in the wake of Pearl Harbor, the decision was made to move the game to Durham.[32] As Duke's stadium was significantly smaller than the regular venue, bleachers were borrowed from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina, which boosted capacity from 35,000 to 55,000.[46] Despite being 3 to 1 favorites, the Iron Dukes would lose the game 20 to 16.[47][32] Wade retired after the 1950 season and, for his great achievements, Duke named their football stadium after him.[32] The Blue Devils still play their home games at Wallace Wade Stadium.[48] Wade's final record at Duke is 110–36–7.[49]

Bill Murray era (1951–1965)

Coach Murray

Delaware head coach Bill Murray was chosen to replace Wallace Wade as Duke's head coach in 1951.[50][51][52] The football program proved successful under Murray's tutelage, winning six of the first ten ACC football championships from 1953 to 1962.[53][54] From 1943 until 1957, the Blue Devils were ranked in the AP Poll at some point in the season.[55] Murray's Duke teams would be last successes the Blue Devils football program would have for another two decades. Bill Murray would be the last Duke head football coach to leave the Blue Devils with a winning record until Steve Spurrier,[55] and the last to leave Duke after having won multiple conference championships.[55] After Murray's retirement following the 1965 season, Duke's football program would steadily decline into becoming the ACC's "cellar-dweller".[55] Murray led Duke to its last bowl appearance and conference championships, shared or outright, until 1989.[55] Murray's final record at Duke was 91–51–9 in fifteen seasons.[54][55]

There was hope when Steve Sloan was hired that the Duke football program would finally return to its glory days under Wallace Wade.[414] Sloan played quarterback for Bear Bryant at Alabama in the 1960s and had winning records as the head football coach at both Vanderbilt and Texas Tech, two programs that had struggled prior to his arrival, and also served as head coach at Ole Miss.[415][416] However, Sloan could not translate his successes from those places to Duke. Sloan's Blue Devils teams had a 13–31 overall record in the four seasons he was there,[415] failing to win more than four games in a single season. Sloan resigned after four seasons as Duke head coach to become athletics director at the University of Alabama.[417]

Sloan led the Blue Devils to a 3–8 record in his first season.[418] The season began with seven consecutive losses before the Dukies won their first game of the season over Georgia Tech,[419] which was the first in a three-game winning streak. The Blue Devils defeated Wake Forest the following week[420] and followed that with a 27-26 win over NC State.[421] The Blue Devils lost by a score of 34-27 to North Carolina in the last game of the 1983 season.[422] The 1984 season was a 2–9 struggle.[423] After defeating Indiana in the season opener,[424] the Blue Devils lost their next eight.[425] Duke finally broke through with their second win of the season in the season's next-to-last game over NC State by a score of 16-13.[426] Duke lost in their annual regular season finale bout against North Carolina by a score of 17-15.[427] In 1985, Duke slightly improved to a 4–7 record.[428] Sloan's Blue Devils began the season with a victory over Northwestern,[429] then lost to West Virginia[430] and beat Ohio.[431] After losing six straight, the Blue Devils won their last two, defearing NC State and North Carolina.[432][433] Duke duplicated their 4–7 mark in 1986, Sloan's last season in Durham.[434] The Blue Devils defeated Northwestern for the second straight year in the season opener,[435] Duke lost to Georgia by a score of 31-7.[436] The Blue Devils then won their next two, defeating Ohio and Virginia.[437][438] After losing their next four, Sloan's squad defeated Wake Forest.[439] Duke lost its last two of the season to NC State and North Carolina.[440][441]

Steve Spurrier era (1987–1989)

Coach Spurrier

The Duke Blue Devils football program had a string of successful years in the late 1980s when the team was coached by Steve Spurrier. Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback at Florida in 1966[442] and had served as an assistant with the Gators, Georgia Tech and Duke as well as head coach of the United States Football League's Tampa Bay Bandits.[443] Duke was Spurrier's first college head coaching position.[444] When Spurrier arrived as Duke's 17th head football coach in program history, he inherited a Duke program that was commonly viewed as the worst football program in the ACC.[445] The Duke football program had not been to a bowl game in more than a quarter-century, since 1960.[445] Unlike most of his predecessors since Wallace Wade, Spurrier was able to have success as Duke's head football coach. He hired coaches Ian Goodall, Joe Jeb, and Patrick Cooke to serve as assistant coaches.[446] Spurrier led the Blue Devils to a share of the ACC title in 1989,[444] its first ACC football title of any kind, shared or outright, since the Bill Murray era.[445] Spurrier won ACC Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and 1989 for his achievements.[444][445] He led Duke to the 1989 All-American Bowl, a game they lost 49–21 to Texas Tech.[445] That bowl appearance was the program's first bowl appearance since the 1960 Cotton Bowl.[445]

Spurrier's first season in 1987 resulted in a 5–6 record.[447] The Blue Devils began the season with three wins; defeating Colgate,[448] Northwestern[449] and Vanderbilt.[450] Spurrier's squad then suffered through a four-game losing streak. After defeating Georgia Tech on Halloween,[451] Duke lost its next two before defeating North Carolina in the season finale.[452] Spurrier's squad began the 1988 season by defeating Northwestern,[453] Tennessee,[454][455] The Citadel,[456] Virginia[457] and Vanderbilt.[458] After losing to #11 Clemson[459] and Maryland,[460] the Blue Devils defeated Georgia Tech,[461] tied NC State[462] and defeated North Carolina.[463] Spurrier's last season in 1989 was a 8–4 mark.[464] Duke began their season by losing to South Carolina,[465] defeating Northwestern,[466] losing to #17 Tennessee[467] and losing to Virginia.[468] The following week, Spurrier's Blue Devils stunned #7 Clemson by a score of 21-17 that would begin a seven-game winning streak.[469][470] The win is Duke's last win over a top 10 ranked opponent to date. Duke followed up the Clemson win with wins over Army,[471] Maryland,[472] Georgia Tech,[473] Wake Forest,[474] #22 NC State[475] and North Carolina (by a score of 41-0).[476] The Blue Devils then made their first bowl appearance since 1960 in the All-American Bowl, losing to Texas Tech by a score of 49-21.[477]

In what would become a recurring trend at most of his coaching stops, Spurrier's teams regularly beat their biggest rivals while he brashly "needled" them with jokes and "zingers" that were amusing to his fans but infuriating to opponents.[478] Spurrier's Duke squads went 3-0 against archrival North Carolina, including a 41-0 victory in Chapel Hill that clinched a share of the 1989 ACC title.[479] At Spurrier's suggestion, that win was followed by a joyful team picture taken in front of the Kenan Memorial Stadium scoreboard, a photo that still rankles some Tar Heel supporters.[480] After three seasons and a 20–13–1 overall record,[415] and leading the Blue Devils to seemingly unheard of football success, Spurrier left Duke after the 1989 season to accept the head football coaching position at his alma mater Florida, where he would cement his legacy as one of college football's greatest head coaches.[481] Spurrier is the last head football coach to date to leave Duke with a winning record.[445] The 1989 ACC Title was the last title, shared or outright, won not only by Duke, but also by any school in the state of North Carolina until Wake Forest won their second ACC Title in 2006.[482]

Barry Wilson era (1990–1993)

Barry Wilson was promoted from assistant coach and took over the Blue Devils football program after the departure of Steve Spurrier,[483] but struggled with a 13–30–1 record in four seasons despite inheriting a team that had shared an ACC championship the season before he got there.[484] Unable to duplicate or build upon the successes of his predecessor, Wilson resigned as head coach after the 1993 season.[485]

In 1990, the Blue Devils finished with a 4–7 record.[486] Duke began the season with a loss to South Carolina[487] and a victory over Northwestern.[488] After consecutive losses to #10 Virginia[489] and #19 Clemson,[490] Wilson's Dukies defeated Army[491] and Western Carolina.[492] Duke then lost to Maryland[493] and #16 Georgia Tech[494][495] before defeating Wake Forest.[496] The Blue Devils finished the season with losses to NC State[497] and North Carolina.[498][499] In 1991, Duke finished 4–6–1.[500] They began the season with a tie to South Carolina.[501][502] The Blue Devils then won their next two, defeating Rutgers[503][504] and Colgate.[505] They then lost to Virginia by a score of 34-3.[506] After defeating Vanderbilt and Maryland in consecutive weeks by a score of 17-13,[507][508] the Blue Devils lost their last five to close the season. In 1992, Duke went 2–9.[509] Duke began the season with a 48-21 loss to ACC newcomer Florida State.[510] Duke then went 2–2 over the next four games, losing to Vanderbilt,[511][512] beating Rice,[513] losing to #14 Virginia,[514] and beating East Carolina.[515] Duke lost its last five games of the season to close out the 1992 campaign. Wilson's last season in 1993 was a 3–8 mark.[516] Duke kicked off the season against #1 Florida State, losing 45-7.[517] After losing to Rutgers the next week,[518] Duke defeated Army to win its first game of the season.[519] Duke next lost its next four, starting with #22 Virginia[520] and #11 Tennessee.[521] Duke dropped games to Clemson and Maryland during the latter half of the four-game losing streak.[522][523] Duke closed the season with two wins and two losses, defeating Wake Forest,[524] losing to Georgia Tech,[525] defeating #22 NC State,[526] and losing to #13 North Carolina.[527]

Fred Goldsmith era (1994–1998)

Rice head coach Fred Goldsmith was hired as Wilson's replacement.[528][529] Under Goldsmith, the Blue Devils compiled a The team rose to prominence again in 1994. The team raced out to an 8–1 record, and was briefly ranked as high as #13 in the country before losing the last two heart-breaking games of the season 24–23 to North Carolina State and 41–40 to arch-rival North Carolina by missing two extra-point attempts.[530] The 1994 team played in the program's first New Years Day Bowl game since 1961, falling to Wisconsin 34-21 in the Hall Of Fame Bowl,[531][530] later known as the Outback Bowl. After 1994, however, Duke's football program continued to decline, with the team lacking a winning season the remainder of Goldsmith's tenure.[532] Goldsmith's teams struggled after that 1994 season, failing to win more than four games in a single season.[532]

In 1995, the Blue Devils finished 3–8.[533] They began their season with a loss to #1 Florida State by a score of 70-26.[534] After defeating Rutgers and Army,[535][536] Duke lost its next five before defeating Wake Forest.[537] They then lost their last two to #24 Clemson[538] and North Carolina.[539] Goldsmith's 1996 Duke team went 0–11.[532] In 1997, the Blue Devils went 2–9.[540] The Blue Devils lost to NC State and Northwestern to start the season,[541][542] then they defeated Army and Navy for their only wins of the season.[543][544][545][546] Duke lost to Maryland,[547] #4 Florida State,[548] Virginia,[549] Wake Forest,[550] Clemson,[551] Georgia Tech[552] and #8 North Carolina to close the season.[553] The Blue Devils compiled a 4–7 record in 1998.[554] Duke won its first two out of the gate, rolling over Western Carolina and Northwestern.[555][556] Goldsmith's quad then lost three in a row, dropping contests to #11 Florida State,[557] #11 Virginia[558] and Georgia Tech.[559] Duke then defeated Wake Forest,[560] lost to NC State[561] and defeated Clemson.[562] They finished the season with losses to Maryland and North Carolina.[563][564] Goldsmith was fired after the 1998 season with a 17–39 overall record as head coach of the Blue Devils.[565][566][567][568]

Carl Franks era (1999–2003)

On December 1, 1998, his 38th birthday, Carl Franks, offensive coordinator at Florida under former Blue Devils head coach Steve Spurrier, was hired to replace Fred Goldsmith and tasked with turning around the Duke football program.[569] A Duke alum, Franks had also served as running backs coach at Duke under Spurrier from 1987-1989 and had played running back and tight end for the Blue Devils under Shirley Wilson from 1980-1982.[570] The hiring was well-received and applauded, as Franks had overseen one of college football's most potent and explosive offenses that helped the Gators win the national championship in 1996,[571] coached a Heisman Trophy winner in Danny Wuerffel[572] and had many players drafted into the National Football League.[573]

Franks led the Blue Devils to a 3–8 record in 1999.[574] The Franks era began with losses to East Carolina,[575] Northwestern,[576] Vanderbilt[577] and #1 Florida State.[578][579] The Blue Devils won their first game of the season in their fifth game of the season against Virginia.[580] After consecutive losses to #8 Georgia Tech[581] and NC State,[582] Duke went 2–2 in the last four games; beating Maryland,[583] losing to Clemson,[584] beating Wake Forest,[585][586] and losing to North Carolina.[587] From 2000 to 2001 Duke suffered a 22-game losing streak, with both the 2000 and 2001 seasons being winless 0–11 campaigns, with only four of the 22 losses coming by eight points or fewer.[588][589][590][591] During the streak, Franks, when asked what the team's problems were, was quoted as saying "Winning football games has certainly been harder than I anticipated."[592] Duke finished 2–10 in 2002.[593] The Blue Devils ended their long losing streak spanning two full seasons in the season opener against East Carolina by a score of 23-16.[594][595] Duke then dropped its next three to Louisville,[596] Northwestern,[597][598] and #5 Florida State[599] before defeating Navy by a score of 43-17.[600] It would prove to be Duke's last win of the season, as the Blue Devils lost its last seven to finish the year.[601] Duke went 4–8 in 2003.[602] #18 Virginia defeated the Blue Devils in the season opener by a score of 27-0.[603] After defeating Western Carolina[604] and Rice[605] the next two weeks, Duke lost its next six games, prompting the athletics administration to dismiss Franks as head coach after losing to Wake Forest.[606] Defensive coordinator Ted Roof was appointed interim head coach.[607] The Blue Devils' 1999-2001 teams were ranked 7th in a list on the 10 worst college football teams of all time by ESPN's Page 2.[608] After going 7–45 in four full seasons and a partial fifth,[591] Franks was fired and replaced by his defensive coordinator Ted Roof.[609][610] Despite the poor record, Franks was lauded for the academic success of his players, evidenced by his program winning the Academic Achievement Award from the American Football Coaches Association in 2003.[611]

Ted Roof era (2004–2007)

Coach Roof

Ted Roof was elevated from defensive coordinator and named interim Duke head coach for the final five games of the 2003 season.[609] The Blue Devils won two of their last three games of the season, and Roof's interim tag was removed and he was named the program's 21st head football coach in 2004.[609] Roof's good times did not last, as he also struggled mightily as Duke's head coach, compiling a dismal 6–45 record before his firing after four seasons and a partial fifth.[612] One positive aspect, however, from Roof's tenure was that Duke defenses consistently ranked in the top 30 in tackles for loss for the first time in years.[612] Roof would go on to win a national championship as Auburn's defensive coordinator in 2010 under head coach Gene Chizik.[613]

Roof led the Blue Devils to a 2–9 record in 2004.[614] Roof's squad began the season with four straight losses to Navy,[615] UConn,[616] Virginia Tech[617] and #23 Maryland.[618] The Blue Devils earned their first win of the season in their fifth game of the season against FCS opponent The Citadel.[619] Duke then suffered through another four-game losing streak; losing to Georgia Tech,[620] #14 Virginia,[621] Wake Forest[622] and #13 Florida State.[623] Duke then beat Clemson[624] and lost to North Carolina to cap the season.[625] In 2005, the Blue Devils finished 1–10.[626] The Blue Devils started with losses to East Carolina[627] and #7 Virginia Tech[628] before winning their only contest of the season over FCS opponent VMI.[629] Duke finished the season with losses to #23 Virginia,[630] Navy,[631] #9 Miami,[632] Georgia Tech[633] #11 Florida State,[634] Wake Forest,[635] Clemson[636] and North Carolina.[637] After a winless 0–12 campaign in 2006,[638] Roof led his squad to a 1–11 record in his final season.[639] Duke began the season with losses to UConn[640] and Virginia.[641] After defeating Northwestern to snap a 22-game losing streak,[642] Duke dropped its last nine games to Navy,[643] Miami,[644] Wake Forest,[645] #12 Virginia Tech,[646] Florida State,[647] Clemson,[648] Georgia Tech,[649] Notre Dame[650] and North Carolina.[651]

David Cutcliffe era (2008–present)

Coach Cutcliffe

In December 2007, Tennessee offensive coordinator and former Ole Miss head coach David Cutcliffe was hired as Duke's 22nd head football coach.[652][653][654] Cutcliffe had a reputation for being an outstanding offensive mind and quarterbacks coach, as he had helped develop both Peyton and Eli Manning.[655] As offensive coordinator under head coach Phillip Fulmer with the Tennessee Volunteers, he oversaw an explosive offense that helped the Volunteers win the 1998 national championship.[656][657] In 2008, a judge ruled in favor of Duke after they pulled out of a four-game contract with the University of Louisville;[658] the judge stated that it was up to Louisville to find a suitable replacement as, he wrote in the ruling, Duke's lawyers had persuasively argued that any Division I team would be equivalent or better.[659] Duke went 4–8 in 2008[660] and Duke's 2009 season was a 5–7 record,[661] the closest the school had come to bowl eligibility since 1994.[662]

In January 2010, following Lane Kiffin's abrupt departure for USC after one season as head coach at Tennessee,[663] Cutcliffe, an assistant coach for the Volunteers for twenty years, quickly emerged as a leading candidate to replace Kiffin.[664] Cutcliffe, however, ultimately rebuffed Tennessee's overtures, remaining at Duke and stating, “After much thought and consideration, Karen and I reached the decision that Duke is the place for our family. We have both family members and lifetime friends in the Knoxville community and share a deep respect for the University of Tennessee. Our ties to the school and the eastern Tennessee area are obvious. But before Tennessee’s hiring process comes to a conclusion, I know that Duke University is where I want to coach.”[665] The position eventually went to Derek Dooley.[666] Cutcliffe's decision was widely lauded as a rare example of commitment and integrity among prominent college football coaches.[667][668] Cutcliffe's Duke teams had back-to-back 3–9 seasons in 2010 and 2011.[669][670] Duke's 2012 team, despite low preseason expectations, after a 33–30 win against rival North Carolina became bowl eligible for the first time since 1994.[671] Extending its season to December 27, 2012, Duke fell to Cincinnati 48–34 in a close contest in the Belk Bowl, finishing the season with a 6–7 record.[672][673] On November 21, 2012, Duke extended Cutcliffe's contract through June 2019.[674]

Duke's 2013 season was a break-out year, as the Blue Devils have continued to cross off many of their infamous losing streaks. On October 26, 2013, Duke achieved its first win over a ranked team since 1994 with a 13–10 victory over #14 Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, a rarity for the Duke football program.[675] That win over Virginia Tech was also Duke's first road win over a ranked team since 1971.[676] Following a bye week, on November 9, 2013 the Blue Devils achieved their first winning season since 1994 with a 38–20 home victory over in-state rival NC State,[677] their seventh of the season. Extending its winning streak to 6 straight by defeating #24 Miami 48–30 on November 16,[678] Duke appeared in the AP Poll for the first time since 1994, listed at #25 with a record of 8–2.[679] With a win at Wake Forest on November 23, 2013, Duke claimed its ninth victory in a regular season for the first time since 1941, the season in which the Blue Devils hosted the Rose Bowl.[680] The win also gave Duke at least a share of the Coastal Division title and a #24 AP Poll ranking.[681] With a 27–25 win over North Carolina on November 30, 2013, Duke locked up their first 10-win season in school history, the Coastal Division title, and a spot in the 2013 ACC Championship Game against Florida State, during which time Duke was ranked #20.[682] The Blue Devils lost that game to the Seminoles, the eventual national champions,[683] by a score of 45-7.[684] David Cutcliffe received the Walter Camp Coach of the Year award in 2013.[685] The Blue Devils were invited to the Chick-fil-A Bowl,[686] where they lost another close, hard-fought game 52–48 to Texas A&M to finish the season with a record of 10–4.[687] After the 2013 season, offensive coordinator Kurt Roper left Duke to accept the same position on Will Muschamp's staff at Florida.[688]

With Scottie Montgomery in his first season as offensive coordinator,[689] Duke finished 9–4 in 2014.[690] The Blue Devils began the season with four wins; defeating Elon,[691] Troy,[692] Kansas[693] and Tulane.[694] Cutcliffe's squad suffered its first defeat in the season's fifth game against Miami.[695] Duke then won its next four; defeating #22 Georgia Tech (the team's first victory over the Yellow Jackets in a decade),[696] Virginia,[697] Pittsburgh[698] and Syracuse.[699] After dropping consecutive games to Virginia Tech[700] and North Carolina,[701] The Blue Devils closed the regular season with a win over Wake Forest.[702] Duke was offered and accepted a berth in the Sun Bowl,[703] a game they lost to #15 Arizona State by a score of 36-31.[704] Wide receiver Jamison Crowder was the team's star player and would be drafted in the fourth round in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins.[705] Crowder finished his career tied for the most receptions in ACC football history with 283 for 3,641 yards and 23 touchdowns.[706] He also returned a school-record four punt returns for touchdowns.[707] Cutcliffe's success at Duke placed him as a candidate in several head coaching searches, including at Michigan (a job that eventually went to Jim Harbaugh) [708][709] and Louisville (a job that eventually went to Bobby Petrino).[710][711]

2015 would see the Blue Devils finish 8–5.[712] Duke began the season with wins over Tulane[713] and NC Central.[714] After losing to #23 Northwestern,[715] the Blue Devils won their next four; defeating #20 Georgia Tech,[716] Boston College,[717] Army[718] and Virginia Tech (in a four-overtime thriller).[719] Cutcliffe's team then embarked upon a four-game losing streak; beginning with a controversial loss to Miami.[720] The Hurricanes used eight laterals (reminiscent of the 1982 Cal-Stanford ending) on a kickoff return with no time remaining to score the game-winning touchdown and stun the Blue Devils by a score of 30-27.[721] However, video evidence showed the play should have been blown dead and not counted as a touchdown, as Miami players who possessed the ball on that play's knee were shown to be on the ground more than once.[722] Although the outcome of the game couldn't be changed, the Atlantic Coast Conference subsequently suspended the game and replay officials for failing to catch the errors and make the correct call.[723] Duke then lost games to #21 North Carolina by a score of 66-31,[724] Pittsburgh by a score of 31-13[725] and Virginia by a score of 42-34.[726] Duke concluded the regular season by snapping its four-game losing streak in a 27-21 win over Wake Forest.[727] Duke finished the season by winning its first bowl game since 1961, defeating Indiana in overtime by a score of 44-41 in the Pinstripe Bowl.[728] After the 2015 season, offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery left the Blue Devils to accept the head coaching position at East Carolina.[729] To replace Montgomery, Cutcliffe promoted Zac Roper to offensive coordinator.[730]

2015 also marked the beginning of a $100 million dollar renovation project to Wallace Wade Stadium.[731] These renovations were initiated in an attempt to bring in better recruits and increase fan base incorporation into the environment of the game itself.[732] These renovations include, a new press box, new increased seating capacity, as well as new concourse and public area modifications.[733] These changes began with the first phase in 2015 with the conclusion on the last home game.[734] These initial changes consisted of dropping the field itself several feet down.[735] This allowed the new stadium seats to be built into the newly created area cleared out by the field being dropped by over 6 feet.[736] The second part of phase 1 was to clear the old existing press box.[737] After this was concluded, there was a temporary press box built to house all media and stadium personnel during the 2015 season.[738] After the conclusion of the 2015-2016 season phase 2 began.[739] This phase consisted of building the new press box[740] as well as a new scoreboard.[741] This phase was concluded by the beginning of the 2016 season.[742] Phase 3, which is the final phase in the project, will be concluded during the beginning of the 2016-2017 football season.[743] This final phase consisted of finishing the renovation to the concourse area's as well as the entrances to the stadium itself.[744] This construction, which is being carried out by The Beck Group[745] is still underway and is expected to be concluded before the start of the 2016-2017 season.[746]

Cutcliffe's Blue Devils struggled to a 4–8 record in 2016.[747] Duke kicked off the season with a 49-6 win over NC Central.[748] After losing to Wake Forest[749] and Northwestern[750] the next two weeks, the Blue Devils upset Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana in the season's fourth game by a score of 38-35.[751] The win was big for the Blue Devils.[752] The Irish, one of college football's most consistent and storied national powers, came into the contest as 21-point favorites at home and suffered one of the worst defeats in their history.[753] Duke then lost to Virginia[754] and beat Army in messy conditions due to Hurricane Matthew.[755] Next, the Blue Devils lost their next three to #7 Louisville,[756] Georgia Tech[757] and #23 Virginia Tech.[758] After upsetting archrival #15 North Carolina,[759] the Blue Devils closed the season with losses to Pittsburgh[760] and Miami.[761] On May 1, 2017, Duke again extended Cutcliffe's contract, keeping their head coach in Durham through June 30, 2021.[762]

Facilities

Wallace Wade Stadium

Wallace Wade Stadium, home to Duke football and site of the 1942 Rose Bowl.

Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium is a 40,004-seat stadium on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Primarily used for American football, it is the home field of the Duke Blue Devils. It opened in 1929 with a game against Pitt, as the first facility in Duke's new West Campus. Originally named Duke Stadium, it was renamed in 1967 for former head football coach Wallace Wade and has remained Wallace Wade Stadium ever since. The field was named Brooks Field at the beginning of the 2015 season after the removal of track and lowering of the field level seats.

The stadium is notable for being the site of the 1942 Rose Bowl Game. Duke had won the invitation to the game as the eastern representative. However, the attack on Pearl Harbor, just weeks after the end of the 1941 season, led to fears of a Japanese attack on the West Coast. General John L. DeWitt, commander of the Western Defense Command, advised the Tournament of Roses Association not to hold the game at the Rose Bowl Stadium itself, since he was not willing to take a chance on the Japanese choosing to stage a bombing raid on a stadium with over 90,000 people in attendance. Soon afterward, the government banned all large public gatherings on the West Coast, which ruled out Bell Field on the campus of Oregon State, the host team from the PCC, as an alternative venue. The Tournament of Roses Association originally planned to cancel the game, but Duke officials invited the Rose Bowl and Oregon State to Durham to play the game. The offer was accepted, and on a cold, rainy January 1, 1942, 56,000 fans, 22,000 of whom sat on bleachers borrowed from nearby NC State and UNC, watched the heavily favored Blue Devils fall to the strong defense of the Beavers 20-16. It is still the only time the game has been played outside of Pasadena, California.

In September 2014, renovation plans were released. The new stadium would seat nearly 40,000 and have 21 luxury suites housed within a new five-story, 90,000 square foot tower along the stadium’s west side. A new 42 feet high by 75.6 feet wide LED video board would be installed 90 feet closer to the field than the previous one. Another notable feature was the removal of the stadium’s track, which allowed 4,000 additional seats to be added along with lowering and recentering the field. The concourses along the stadium’s north and west sides were enhanced with new concessions and new gates, restroom facilities and first aid stations. Integrated seating in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act were also added for disabled guests and their companions.[764] The first two phases of the renovations were finished over a two-year period, including the new press box, eight broadcast booths[765] and suites completed by the 2016 college football season. Phase three is to be completed prior to the 2017 season. It includes completion of ADA boxes currently in one-third of the concourse on the north and east concourse, rebuilding the concourse surface, and construction of a north gate ticket booth and various concessions, bathroom, and future store buildings on the east concourse. The alumni box on the north concourse will also be replaced with a new auxiliary scoreboard.[766]

Academic achievements

Duke is consistently ranked at or near the top of the list of Division I-A schools which graduate nearly all of their football players. Duke has topped the list 12 years in a row, earning it the most Academic Achievement Awards of any university.[767]

Duke has had an American Football Coaches Association's Academic Achievement Award winner in '81, '84, '87, '90, '93, '94, '95, '96, '97, '99, '03, '05, '14, making it one of the schools with the most winners.[763]

Since 1962, Duke has only appeared in the polls during 1971, 1989, 1994, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The only time Duke has ever been ranked by the BCS was 2013; it was ranked #24 in the final BCS standings that year. However, Duke had been ranked in the CFP when the CFP Rankings replaced the BCS rankings. They were ranked in the CFP during the very first year the CFP replaced the BCS. They finished the season unranked, but earlier in the 2014 Duke Blue Devils football team season, they were ranked in the CFP for 3 straight weeks, the first week, they were #24. The second week, they were ranked #22. The third week, they were ranked #21. The fourth week, they dropped from the CFP rankings, because they lost to unranked Virginia Tech.

Duke has never been ranked #1 in the AP or Coaches polls.

Duke also won the 1965 ACC Championship on the field, finishing tied for first with South Carolina (who they defeated) at 4-2. However, South Carolina was later discovered to have used two ineligible players, and were required by the conference to forfeit their four league victories. This elevated NC State and Clemson (both of whom had lost to South Carolina) to 5-2 in the standings, ahead of 4-2 Duke. Duke still claims the 1965 ACC Championship, although the conference does not recognize it.[768]

National championships

Duke does not officially claim any national championships. The 1936 team was retroactively named national champions by Berryman (QRPS), a mathematical rating system designed by Clyde P. Berryman in 1990. The NCAA recognizes the Berryman title in its official NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision records.[769] James Howell, a football historian, also selected Duke as 1936 national champions using his Football Power Ratings formula.[770]

Ray Bryne, a minor selector, chose the 1941 Blue Devils as national champions.[771]
