Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / Ohio Game Thread- Dukes up against Ohio

**Posted by coffee** 9/11/2021 2:43 pm

Except for a couple bad plays the Dukes could easily be winning this one at the half… They are out gaining the Wildcats 211-155.
They had a long 90+ yard drive stall at the 2 and gave up an opening kickoff return on a flubbed kick.

Otherwise, the Dukes are outplaying the FBS Wildcats.

Had to laugh at the Ohio announcers who said that they were “in the driver’s seat up by 2 at the half”

Incredible win Coffee. What a pleasure to watch. The Dukes have talent and lots of fortitude. They need a real stadium built already.

I’d like to see a better home venue as well. Could they do anything with Rooney to make it a “bowl”; maybe excavate to allow for more seating below the current field level; or just build up from the ground.

From past questions, we can’t dig deeper without interfering with the Armstrong Tunnels. Bleachers all around would be good. There’s room for 9 more rows atop the current stands.
