DURHAM, N.C. (AP) – Andrew Luck and No. 6 Stanford will spend a huge chunk of the weekend on an airplane.
They want nothing more than a happy flight home.
The Cardinal (1-0) visit Duke (0-1) on Saturday, and the toughest obstacle they’ll face might not be the Blue Devils themselves but jetlag.
The trip to Durham marks just the fifth regular-season cross-country trip since 1997 for Stanford, which is 1-3 in its previous four non-bowl games in the East. That includes a 24-17 loss two years ago at Wake Forest in the first road start of Luck’s career.
Luck says there’s “still a sour taste in my mouth.”
The Cardinal are a three-touchdown favorite in this matchup of private schools with similarly rigid academic requirements but different results on the field.
