Duke knows that Florida International is more than just a new face

QUESTION: How does a university that has only been playing football for just a few years manage to put together a really highly-competitive team in a short amount of time?

DUKE COACH DAVID CUTCLIFFE: Well,
there’s — in Broward and Dade County, there’s
about 8 to 10 million people in those two counties
and out of that, whatever that number is there,
more big schools playing football in those two
counties than maybe in our entire county — excuse
me, our entire state. They have got a coach that
was a product of Dade County schools. As a head
coach they have got other coaches on their staff
that were products of Dade County schools.
So they are — you can go into
Dade and Broward County and dig in there hard,
you will find a lot of football players and they have
done that. That’s the fastest way to equip any
program is to be geographically strategically
located, and they are.
