Following Duke’s 47-45 double overtime loss to North Carolina Saturday in Chapel Hill Defensive Tackle DeWayne Carter had this to say about quarterback Grayson Loftis who is taking over for Riley Leonard who is sidelined with toe injury had this to say how Duke (6-4) should respond their final two regular season games at Virginia Saturday November 18, 2023 at home against Pittsburgh Saturday November 25, 2023 before learning their bowl destination for 2023.

Let’s talk about Grayson Loftis,”“I mean, he did everything he needed to do and some. I couldn’t be any prouder. That kid never flinches. He stood in there and took some shots, took the ball and ran it when he needed to.”

When you get punched, you get up,”“When you get knocked down, you get up again. There is no choice. There’s a message. I think that’s how we are trained as a team. That’s the grittiness and the grind mentality that we have.”

Following Duke’s 47-45 double overtime loss to North Carolina Saturday in Chapel Hill Duke Head Coach Mike Elko had this to say!

“For some of these guys, probably the rest of their life, to be honest with you,”

“You put everything you have into this game. You work so hard for this, give so much for each one of these opportunities and certainly this rivalry means even a little bit more. I think there’s a piece of them, me included, who will remember this the rest of our life.”

We knew they were a really talented team,”“We knew we were gonna have to just scratch and claw our way, just stay in it and hang in and hopefully give us a chance in the fourth quarter. And you know, I thought we did that.”
