Duke's defense faces key questions as fall camp progresses

Duke's football team is addressing critical issues in defense during ongoing fall camp, seeking improvements after struggling last season. The Blue Devils' defense allowed 424.2 yards per game, ranking 121st in the FBS. With the departure of key players Aaron Hall, Vincent Anthony Jr., and Chandler Rivers, the coaching staff is focused on how to fill those gaps. Potential answers include sophomore Bryce Davis and transfer Owen Wafle in the defensive front, and new additions like Patrick Smith-Young competing for starting roles in the secondary. Duke is expected to continue evaluations as camp progresses, aiming to strengthen its defensive unit ahead of the season.
