To say Perry Simmons was a rock during his time at Duke would be an understatement of epic proportions. Perry started fifty, count them FIFTY, straight games before an injury kept him out of the Peach Bowl in 2013. Perry was kind of enough to stop by for a great talk about what it takes to make a team relevant after years of irrelevance.

During our hour plus conversation, we covered a lot of interesting topics including the importance of redshirting, Coaches Luke and Latina, how injuries can derail an offensive line and the great seasons that were 2012 and 2013. This interview will bring back some good memories for all you Blue Devil fans. Until we get to Miami in 2015. Um, yeah. Ugh.
