Challenges limited for Dukes in MAAC
There are two numbers that best illustrate why Duquesne has outgrown the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference: 37 consecutive victories against league opponents and seven consecutive MAAC championships. Duquesne has the longest current conference win streak in Division I-AA that dates to a 62-50 defeat at Iona in 1999. The Dukes are 70-7 against MAAC teams since joining the league in 1994.

Tullis shows maturity adjusting to new role
Clyde Tullis could have torn apart this season's Savannah State football team. When SSU coach Richard Basil benched the senior and started freshman Garrett Williams at quarterback during the second half of the Tigers' second game of the season, Tullis could have spewed venom about being moved to wide receiver.

Dukes Knapp a QB keeper
Scott Knapp's collegiate debut was one for the books -- the Duquesne University record books. Knapp, a redshirt freshman from Perry Traditional Academy, set the bar high by completing 23 of 42 passes for 365 yards and a touchdown in Duquesne's 23-12 victory against Robert Morris Saturday. It was the seventh-most yards passing in a game for a Duquesne quarterback and the most ever for a freshman.

Optimistic Marist faces uphill climb
Over the course of the 14 years that Jim Parady has been head football coach at Marist College, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Football League has disintegrated. When the Red Foxes joined the MAAC in 1994 and won the league title, there were eight teams. Now there are only five, meaning Marist plays more non-conference games (seven) than conference games (four).
