After a decisive loss to No. 9 Illinois at home last weekend, the Duke football program is in desperate need of a bounce-back victory this Saturday when it heads to New Orleans to take on Tulane. Offensively, the Blue Devils were extremely inconsistent in the second half against the Fighting Illini, with Darian Mensah not looking ready for the big moment. Duke committed five turnovers throughout the game, which ultimately led to 21 Illini points. Now, the Blue Devils will likely have to win out for any hope toward a College Football Playoff berth. Head coach Manny Diaz said after the loss to Illinois that he liked what he saw from the offense, so let's hope Duke can secure a much-needed victory to get back over .500.
