Duke will kick its 2023 football season off against ACC foe Clemson at home. During Monday night’s conference schedule reveal, the Blue Devils posted a video to its social media to hype the announcement up — and it takes a shot at Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney.

Blue Devils DB Joshua Pickett is depicted running — more animated than he probably should be — in a way that resembles Swinney’s entrance to Memorial Stadium.

Watch the hype video below:

In terms of conference play, their home slate includes Clemson, NC State, Virginia, Wake Forest and Pitt. They’ll travel to Florida State, Louisville, Virginia and North Carolina. FSU will be Duke’s first conference road trip. They’ll also host Lafayette, Northwestern, UConn and Notre Dame to round out non-conference play.

Four of Duke’s first five games will be on their home turf with the lone exception being a road trip to UConn to take on the Huskies — tickets are already on sale for the matchup here. They’ll enjoy a bye week before going all-in on ACC play as well.

According to the ACC Network, the schedule from Weeks 1-7 will see 12 of the 14 ACC teams play a power-five non-conference game before Week 7. Duke is the only one that will play a true road game before that period.
