Following Duke’s sluggish start when opposing California Saturday night in Berkeley California following Duke beating California 45-21 Duke Head Coach Manny Diaz had this to say about California starting quarterback Jaron- Keawe Sagapolutele about his team had to play defensively!
Their quarterback was on fire and we brought two (weakside linebackers) on the trip and they’re both out of the game. But we recognized this week wasn’t going to be like last week and we were going to face adversity and you have to be prepared to overcome it.”
The key for us defensively was that we could limit them running the football,The quarterback had to do it all by himself and we felt like our pressure would eventually force him to make mistakes. That really was the first turning point of the game, a true freshman Pellicciotta with the interception.”
