  "account": "Durham, North Carolina - September 24, 2025 - The Duke Blue Devils are gearing up for their preseason action with a scrimmage against Belmont and a football game against Georgia Tech. ESPN's DBR Podcast #854 delves into both events, providing insights into what to expect from each matchup.\n\nIn the basketball scrimmage, the Bruins will bring a unique challenge to the table. Coach Jon Scheyer and assistant coach Evan Bradds discuss how this pre-game event differs from a regular game or exhibition. Despite the altered setting, the podcast predicts the Bruins will still test Duke's mettle.\n\nFor the football team, Duke aims to start the season strong by securing a 1-0 record against Georgia Tech. The podcast examines the Yellow Jackets' disappointing season, hoping it will not dampen Duke's determination. The podcast also shares recruiting news, compares Duke's football attendance with other Power 4 teams, and shares breaking news that might impact the offseason.\n\nFor more information, listeners are encouraged to follow DBR Podcast on various social media platforms and affiliate links, including Fanatics, SLAM, Homestream, and Homefield Apparel.",
