Duke Football vs. Cincinnati: 34-48

This was Duke football's first bowl game in forever.  And though Duke lost, there was every reason to believe that Duke would win.

First, broke out to a 16-0 lead.

Second, Duke fell behind in the third quarter, but fought back to take the lead in the 4th.

Third, their running game was looking powerful.

Why do I think Duke lost?  Dumb headed turnovers, especially the last fumble with less than 2 minutes in the game.

Is this something the Duke team can build upon next season?  I think it is hard to tell.  They are losing their starting quarterback.  One can still hope that the 2013-2014 season delivers better results.
