Duke and Tulane prepare for season opener with new offensive coordinators

Summary

Duke and Tulane enter their season-opening game with revamped offensive systems and new coordinators managing personnel changes. Duke offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer returns with head coach Manny Diaz after a record-setting year, though the Blue Devils face a shift at quarterback with San Jose State transfer Walker Eget taking over. Tulane head coach Will Hall hired Russ Callaway as his first offensive coordinator. Callaway brings experience from Florida and the Alabama coaching staff but has not called plays in seven years. Both teams face significant roster changes following the offseason. The matchup serves as a test of continuity for Duke against a reset Tulane program.
