So, we had Bryan’s 5 Takeaways, now we get to look at the grade sheet and standout performances for the Duke game.
The first thing to remember about Duke 2020 is that the Virginia Tech Hokies took the field missing four Cornerbacks, their starting Free Safety, and their faster Outside Linebacker. There is just no going about this differently, the grades must account for the fact that the Defense was operating on spare tires and patched innertubes. We start with the Defensive Grades, this time, because even though it looked a tad shaky late in the 3rd quarter and early in the 4th, it found a way to get critical stops, and limit damage.
