Following Duke having 21-17 lead at halftime Saturday Duke losing to 5th ranked Miami 53-31 because Miami came back to win 53-31 Duke Head Coach Manny Diaz had this to say!
“It’ll be a tough film study tomorrow,”with the mistakes that we made, which allowed them, to their credit, they capitalized on.”
It’s a game of turnovers and explosive plays,”“It’s hard to beat anyone on the road, if you lose those two battles. It’s definitely hard to beat a team as talented as they are. I thought that was a telling difference in the second half, giving an offense like that short fields and then allowing the quarterback, as good enough as he is, to have breakdowns in our coverage to leave guys wide open. Allowing them to get separation on the scoreboard and really take control of the game.”We showed that we can play toe to toe with anybody in the country,”
That’s back-to- back games against ranked teams that are undefeated in our conference. The difference from last week and this week is just the mistakes that we made. You took a game that was going to be back and forth and come down to the last possession, and it made it comfortable for them in the final half of the fourth quarter.”
