The school's athletic department is far more recognizable to sports fans for their unbridled success as a basketball school, but don't sell short their history. In fact, in the early years of college football, Duke was one of the better teams in the middle eastern states region. When the Pearl Harbor attacks happened, the Rose Bowl decided to move their game to Duke for the 1942 event.
