Duke will look to spring an upset for the ages Saturday when the Blue Devils meet Alabama in Atlanta in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game to open the season.
When they arrive at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium field, the Blue Devils will wear a white helmet with a block ‘D’, and will have white jerseys and pants with blue numbers and trim. The combination was unveiled in an NCAA-football themed video and tweeted by Uniswag.
The Blue Devils are about a 35-point underdog in the game as coach David Cutcliffe begins his 12th season at the school and has pegged fifth-year senior Quentin Harris as the starting quarterback job.
Harris last season helped Duke to a win over Northwestern as he replaced an injured Daniel Jones, then won against Baylor and N.C. Central as the Blue Devils ultimately made it to No. 22 in the Associated Press poll. Harris ultimately completed 50 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and one interception.
The Blue Devils also have a solid defense that returns eight starters. However, it will be a tall order to upset the Crimson Tide.
