Clemson vs Duke Football 2023 Preview
Clemson finished with an overall record of 11-3 last season (8-0 in the ACC), averaging 33.2 points a game on offense while surrendering just under 21 points a game on the defensive side.
The Tigers will be led on offense by sophomore quarterback Cade Klubnik, who will begin his first full-time year as a starter. How Klubnik will perform remains a question mark, so he’ll be a top player to watch in this one.
On defense, the Tigers are led by linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr., son of the former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro. “I really like our depth. I think we’ve got some competition that will continue throughout the season,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “Some flexibility, some guys that can really play multiple positions. As I said earlier, I think we’ve got seven guys that I consider a starter right now. We can only run five out there so we’ll see how it goes.”
On the other side, the Blue Devils finished with an impressive 9-4 overall record in head coach Mike Elko’s first year leading the team. On offense last season, the Blue Devils averaged just under 33 points a game. Junior quarterback Riley Leonard returns as the team’s starter. Leonard threw for 2,967 yards, 20 TDs and six picks last year.
On the defensive side, the Blue Devils gave up 22.1 points and 378 total yards of offense per game. Now, the team is looking to get better on both sides of the ball and it has a new defensive coordinator in Tyler Santucci.
“Everything this offseason has just been about elevation, and we didn’t come in to have one good season,” Elko said. “We didn’t come in to have one positive moment and then kind of let it all go away. We wanted to build a program. That goes over time.”
“That’s a really good football team, coming off a great year,” Swinney said about Duke. “Got a ton of respect for Coach Elko, that’s an incredibly well-coached team. And a tough opener, and those of you who have been around here, y’all heard me say many times openers are probably the hardest game. I don’t really care who you play because it’s, again, there’s just so many unknowns, especially in today’s world of college football. There’s so many unknowns whether it be coaching changes, or personnel, whatever, so you have to spend time watching other people.”
The crew slated to cover the broadcast include Dave Pasch, Dusty Dvoracek and Tom Luginbill.
Clemson leads the all-time series against Duke, 37-16-1.
