The Duke Football team won't have to stew too long over their Sun Bowl loss. Spring practice starts in just 40 days, on February 6th. With the Wallace Wade renovations still underway, the practices will be held in the Brooks Practice Facility adjacent to the stadium. Duke's indoor practice facility, the Pascal Fieldhouse, will serve the team's needs during inclement (and/or cold) weather.

The location of the spring game is still in question, but sources indicate that the game will most likely be held in the city of Durham. Wallace Wade will not be able to host the game, so the most likely site is Durham County Stadium just off Duke Street in Durham.

The schedule has yet to be finalized, but the spring game will take place in late February or early March.

Duke is replacing at least 14 players off the two-deep for this season including All-Americans Laken Tomlinson and Jamison Crowder. The biggest positional battle heading into next season is at the quarterback spot, where redshirt sophomore Thomas Sirk and redshirt freshman Nico Pierre are expected to battle for the starting gig.

However, Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel has been released to Duke, among other schools. Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, according to sources, has expressed interest in transferring to Duke as well. Both Driskel and Miller would be eligible to play next season.
