Elon College: A Game Changer for Duke Football

This Friday marks an important milestone as Duke Football kicks off a new era under coach Manny Diaz, who is stepping in after Mike Elko's departure for Texas A&M.

The upcoming match against Elon College, an FCS team and a member of the Colonial Athletic Association, is seen as a crucial test for Duke to establish momentum. A victory at Wallace Wade Stadium would signify potential progress in the Diaz era, while a loss could raise concerns about the team's trajectory.
