2 The sights from gameday at Duke show that the Blue Devil football program is one branded by excitement, action and spirit. Duke s home games, played at historic Wallace Wade Stadium, offer the pageantry only felt on a college football Saturday. In terms of media exposure, Duke hosts in excess of 75 media members at each home game. Since 1997, Duke has appeared on either national or regional television at least five times in each of those 10 seasons. Head coach David Cutcliffe s goal of resurrecting Duke s proud football tradition appears to be on track. The gameday experience, like the one at Duke, is an integral part of Cutcliffe s equation to lead the Blue Devils back to national prominence. 41

4 Duke s football tradition stands up against that of many private universities around the country. The Blue Devils have appeared in all four of the traditional major bowl games Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton and have earned 18 league championships in both the Southern and Atlantic Coast Conferences. With 64 overall selections, Duke has placed 56 of its players on All-America teams and has 11 College Football Hall of Fame inductees. Several events have shaped the rich tradition of Duke football, from: Duke (then Trinity College) and North Carolina playing the first college football game below the Mason-Dixon line The 1938 Iron Dukes team that went unscored upon during the regular season Duke playing host to the 1942 Rose Bowl in Durham against Oregon State Capturing the Southern Conference title in 1944 and upending Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, Winning the first three ACC Championships in 1953, 1954 & 1955 In 1959, Mike McGee winning the Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation s most outstanding interior lineman Defeating Arkansas, 7-6, to win the Cotton Bowl on January 2, 1961 In the 1980s, celebrating four ACC Player of the Year winners Chris Castor (1982), Ben Bennett (1983), Anthony Dilweg (1988) and Clarkston Hines (1989) Having three NFL Hall of Fame selections Ace Parker, George McAfee and Sonny Jurgensen Having 11 College Football Hall of Fame honorees Clockwise from top left corner: Steve Spurrier and record-setting quarterback Ben Bennett; 1941 team captain & All-America center Bob Barnett; Steve Slayden, who threw a school single-game record six TD passes versus Georgia Tech in 1987; Hall of Fame head coach Wallace Wade; 2000 team captain Troy Andrew; Duke s third all-time leading rusher Randy Cuthbert; 1962 first team All-America Jean Berry; and Spence Fischer, who guided the Blue Devils to the Hall of Fame Bowl in

6 Consistency. It s the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 55th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. Since the league s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 105 national championships, including 56 in women s competition and 49 in men s. The conference had an immediate impact on the national college football scene in the fall of 1953 when Maryland captured the first of what would eventually be five national football titles for the ACC. Clemson laid claim to the league s second national title in 1981 while Georgia Tech followed suit in Florida State pocketed national titles No. 4 and 5 in 1993 and In addition, Miami has won five national titles over the past 25 seasons. The 12 ACC institutions have produced 523 first or second team gridiron All-Americas and 72 first-team academic All-Americas. ACC schools have had 2,124 players selected in the professional football draft, including 210 first round selections. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC over the years has proved itself to be among the elite in Division I-A football. The ACC is the nation s winningest bowl conference as the 12 current league teams are a combined (.537) in post-season play. 45

8 Duke boasts more ACC Player of the Year honorees 10 than any other school in the league. Quarterback Jerry Barger was the first Blue Devil to receive the prestigious honor after leading Duke to an record, the ACC title and a berth in the Orange Bowl in Five years later, guard Mike McGee captured the award on his way to winning the Outland Trophy as the nation s top lineman. After halfback Jay Wilkinson picked up the citation in 1963 by scoring 12 touchdowns, Duke had back-to-back winners with defensive back Ernie Jackson (1971) and running back Steve Jones (1972). In the decade of the 1980s, four Blue Devils were crowned as wide receiver Chris Castor (1982), quarterback Ben Bennett (1983), quarterback Anthony Dilweg (1988) and wide receiver Clarkston Hines (1989) claimed the trophy. Tailback Robert Baldwin became Duke s 10th conference player of the year in 1994 after rushing for 1,187 yards as the Blue Devils went 8-4 and played in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

10 More than 85 Duke players have gone on to play professionally over the past 60 years. This past season, Patrick Mannelly, who finished his Duke career in 1997 before being drafted in the NFL s sixth round,, helped the Chicago Bears to the NFC Championship and berth in Super Bowl XLI. In the spring of 2007, Duke s three team captains from last year s club Casey Camero (Tampa Bay), Eli Nichols (Washington) and John Talley (Washington) signed free agent contracts with NFL organizations. Duke has supplied the NFL with some of its greatest players Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen, Ace Parker and George McAfee, as well as All-Pro selections Mike Curtis, Ed Newman, Al DeRogatis and Bob Grupp. Linebacker Kevin Lewis helped the New York Giants to the NFC Championship in 2002 while Curtis, two-time All-Pro pick, was on Baltimore s Super Bowl championship team in The Blue Devils have had five first round NFL Draft selections and one first round supplemental NFL pick: McAfee (1940), Steve Lach (1942), Curtis (1965), Bob Matheson (1967), Mike Junkin (1987) and Dave Brown ( supplemental). 49
