Duke's Tunnel a Key Piece of Home Saturdays

DURHAM, N.C. – Home Saturdays for Duke football all begin with a trip out of the locker room and down the Duke tunnel onto Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Coach David Cutcliffe's Duke Football Show looked at the history of the Duke tunnel and the walk from the locker room, to the Duke rock and out the tunnel through smoke and fireworks. Cutcliffe and blue Devil redshirt senior tight end Braxton Deaver, redshirt senior defensive end Britton Grier, redshirt senior defensive end Kyler Brown, redshirt senior tight end David Reeves, redshirt junior defensive tackle A.J. Wolf, redshirt sophomore quarterback Thomas Sirk and freshman defensive tackle Brandon Boyce all talked about what the mindset is during the walk down the tunnel. Director of Sports Performance Sonny Falcone, who played for Duke from 1973-75, also reflected on how much the tunnel has changed over the years.
 
Duke (4-1, 2-0 ACC) plays its first road game since the season opener this Saturday at Army West Point. Kickoff is set for 12 noon on the CBS Sports Network.
