cshs81 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is there really much difference in Duke and Indiana State? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainThunder Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I take exception to UL calling Duke (in football) a 'quality opponent'. An opponent from a BCS conference? Yes. A quality opponent? Not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westsider Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is there really much difference in Duke and Indiana State?Yes, there is in these terms ... Duke is a I-A program (well, sort of) and Indiana State is I-AA. Teams can count a win over a I-AA team towards its six wins to compete in a bowl game only once in a four-year span, I believe. It's conceivable that the loss of a I-A opponent off the schedule could it make it tougher to get a bowl bid if Louisville has a couple more seasons like this one. And Duke cancelling at this late date just isn't a real classy move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
