I think Duke's experienced offense and non-crazy playcalling coming off of a bye will give our defense its stiffest challenge yet.
Looking at the Depth Chart it looked like they have an upperclassman at every starting position on offense. Granted they're Duke upperclassmen, but still that type of experience will not lend itself well to our current strategy of waiting for critical mistakes. I think we'll be more willing to press in coverage this week, but the defense will have to play another smart, disciplined, fast game.
Both VPI and Miami came in with some injury concerns to their offensive line. Duke has no such health concerns. And we had the bye week to prepare for Miami.
I think we'll finally see the shootout many of us have been predicting throughout the year.
I still think we can beat Duke with a B- overall game, but we'll need the defense to make a couple stops.
