Duke to "pick its poison" with Clemson receivers Watkins and Hopkins

I wrote a story for today's paper looking at how Duke plans to stop the Clemson receiving duo of Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins. Duke head coach David Cutcliffe was asked again today about his defensive plan for the two:

"We're going to know where they are," Cutcliffe joked. "They do some things to isolate them." 

"It's a team game. Field position helps you, and your offense satying on the field is the best way to defend them. That's never easy to do, but that's something you have to address. And then we're going to change up. You can't show them and do the same things. We have a plan, and executing the plan is never easy."
