    What They Are Saying About the FSU-Duke Game

    "And there is little a coach can say about Duke that would put any fear into a Seminole player.

    Yes, Duke gave Alabama a fright for three quarters last week before losing. But the FSU-Duke series history as well as Duke's 3-48 ACC record in this millennium make this a tough game to fire up players. Not that Bobby Bowden hasn't tried."

    "Offensive lineman Mario Henderson and the rest of the Seminoles are aware that any team can pull an upset. Although N.C. State was at home, last week’s game was considered an upset based on the rankings.

    Duke, which has never beaten FSU, could trip up the Seminoles if they are thinking too far into the future, Henderson said."

    "Saturday's game will be the first of four consecutive at Wallace Wade Stadium, a stadium that the Blue Devils hope will be more inviting in the future.

    "We're going to get an architect and we're going to take a look how we can improve the amenities in the stadium -- the restrooms, the concessions -- to make it more fan-friendly," Duke athletics director Joe Alleva said. "

    "With the page officially turning to basketball practice, will Duke even have anyone show up for this game? It does raise an interesting question, why do people even show up to Duke football games? FSU, even in a down year won't exactly struggle."

    "Could the unthinkable happen Saturday at Duke? Could Florida State lose to the Blue Devils? After watching N.C. State quarterback Daniel Evans work his magic against the Seminoles’ young secondary Thursday—remember, the Wolfpack fell behind 20-10 late in the third quarter—anything seems possible. After all, Evans was making only his second career start. "
