- Duke's offensive plan against Tulane was framed around Nate Sheppard and CJ Campbell establishing the run behind an offensive line with interior continuity and transfer tackles. - Duke quarterback Walker Eget was expected to benefit from play action if the run works, but the article flagged turnover risk if Tulane forces him into pressure and long-yardage passing downs. - Tulane quarterback Zeon Chriss-Gremillion's rushing ability was identified as the primary problem for Duke's defense because designed runs, options, and scrambles could alter coverage structure. - The preview leaned Duke 31-23 because Duke had the more stable staff, the established back in Sheppard, home field, and a deeper defense attacking Tulane's rebuilt offensive line.
