Mike Elko’s first season as Duke’s coach will feature a Friday night opener and eight straight games before the open date.

The Blue Devils will open the season against Temple on Sept. 2, with Duke playing all four of its non-conference games in the first month of the season.

Other key dates include an Oct. 15 game against UNC, another Friday night game on Nov. 4 at Boston College, and then playing both of the ACC’s division winners last season to end the season – traveling to Pittsburgh on Nov. 19 and playing host to Wake Forest on Nov. 26.

Elko was hired after the resignation of David Cutcliffe. The former Texas A&M defensive coordinator takes over a Duke program that was 3-9 last season, and went winless in the ACC.
