Duke Football took care of business against Elon in their opening game of the 2025 season as Week 1 kicked off with some exciting matchups! We welcome back Scott Rich on Episode 747 to take us through all of the big takeaways from the long weekend of football.

Jason is returning home from vacation, so Scott and Donald take flight on this episode beginning by recapping Duke’s 45-17 win over Elon on Thursday night. Darian Mensah looked as advertised, and the passing game was pretty fun to watch as Duke eventually took control of the game in the second half. The running game had some good moments, but could still use some improvement. We discuss some of the other players who stood out in Duke’s win as we prepare for Illinois to come to town this weekend.

We also get into the exciting opening weekend of college football, first with the ACC and then extending to the rest of the nation. Miami and Florida looked good in their big wins over the weekend, while we also laugh at UNC for getting trounced by TCU. We end by saluting Lee Corso on his retirement and of course Scott and Donald get their Michigan talk in with Jason not around to stop them.
