Official Gameday Thread - BC at Duke - 9/19/2020

[DomingoOrtiz]

WTF! O looks worse than last year.

[Supahfan99]

Well that was disappointing.

[Skidmark]

Glass half full, at least we didn't miss the FG.

[Dick Rosenthal]

Why aren’t they rolling Jurk out? I don’t understand this at all. I am not hitting the panic klaxon like some, but that offensive series made no sense whatsoever after the 1st Down Call.

[HJS]

Tommy Rees was right.

Wow!

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

This defense can’t tackle. No one wraps up

[eaglesfan06]

Bend. Don't break defense.

[Supahfan99]

Duke does not want to win this ballgame.

[bcshater]

Dukes Special Teams remind me a bit of BC the past few years, that FG attempt didn't have a chance.

[Dick Rosenthal]

Tommy Rees was right.

Wow!

Stupid. What is very strange is that the play calling appears to ignore the strengths of a young QB. I get wanting to run the ball, but I don’t understand why they seem to be anchoring Jurk in the pocket and the lack of RPOs, both of which play to Jurk’s strengths.

[hansen]

Thank god that the Duke K sucks.

[MF73-Eleazar]

One handed grab while getting interfered with.

[eaglesfan06]

Wow, passing on first downs resulting in big plays....who could have expected that

[Uptown Eagle]

My sources say Duke kicker Ham was soft BC commit under Daz.

[eaglesfan06]

Duke is selling out for the run on 1st down. 3 consecutive big plays through the air.

[MF73-Eleazar]

Great play calls, great drive. Shitty XP.

[hansen]

Wow, that move by Flowrers.

also, nice play by Jurkovec.

[Dick Rosenthal]

Groesel could not have executed any of those plays. Funny how letting your strong armed QB throw and rolling him out opens up things.

[Supahfan99]

Jurk heating up.

Ah Jesus Christ we missed XP.

[hansen]

Of course.

BC... missing PATs since 1863.

[Dick Rosenthal]

BC Kicker is going to do what BC kickers do.

[hansen]

Maybe trying to keep it vanilla in game 1 for tougher games later. If you are up, then why open it up in week 1?

[DavidGordonsFoot]

What a drive.

[BCEagles25]

I like what I’ve seen from Jurk. There’s a Roethlisberger type backyard QB style to him. He’s probably the most frequently misattributed comparison I see for young QBs from NFL scouts, but I see it here a bit

[eaglesfan06]

I mean not sure why anyone was freaking out about Jurkovec after the first half.

He wasn't great, but it was his first half with a new team and his first start in years. Plus the offensive line was awful that half.

Need to have some patience.

[DomingoOrtiz]

Who is #86?

Gill wearing 86 today.

Non factor so far which is surprising.

Lack of RPO and read option is a very legit complaint about the O.

That said, Jurk has not seemed anywhere near as fleet of foot as advertised. Has a Bernie Kosar feel on his scrambles.

I was thinking this, too. Obviously, the arm is a different story.

Agree. Hell of a play on the TD but I thought he would be a better runner.

[lnnocent Bystander]

Good to see that Lily from ATT is back. Double Ds and 5G.
