He has completed 71 percent of his passes so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sean had played with a lot of weight on his shoulder,&#8221; said Duke coach David Cutcliffe. &#8220;He was playing to not make mistakes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cutcliffe recently had a team meeting where he told the players that football has got to be fun. &#8220;You can&#8217;t have burdens. You can&#8217;t carry anyone&#8217;s burden,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The only person carrying a burden is me. I&#8217;m old enough and equipped to handle it. So cut it loose, just all of it, cut it loose. He obviously knew, and I addressed Sean on part of it, we don&#8217;t have any secrets from each other, because we are a family. I would say he&#8217;s not talking about play calls, he&#8217;s not being negative at all. He&#8217;s just saying let him relax and play. And I hope that Sean has taken that to heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cutcliffe said Renfree played his best game in a thrilling victory over Florida International last week. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t statistically the best game, but it was his best game.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks ago, Duke QB Sean Renfree set the school record for completions and last week set a record for attempting 43 passes without an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,79,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-duke-blue-devils","category-featured-stories","category-uncategorized","wpcat-82-id","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2373"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2577,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2373\/revisions\/2577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
