Duke football became a winner in tragedy


On a warm Friday in August, just four days after fall practice opened, Duke coach David Cutcliffe had to prepare yet another one of his men for heartache. Punter Will Monday would soon learn his mother, Judy, had been hospitalized with a blood clot. Cutcliffe arranged for team chaplain James Mitchell to drive Monday two hours back home and told Monday he should take all the time away he needed. (ESPN.com)
