How do y'all think the game against Duke in Bobby Dodd Stadium will go? I think GT battles back and wins a close one 28-21 over Duke to end the losing streak against Duke.

Usually, I have some sense of what a team is capable of by the second half of the season, but Duke defies prediction so far. They have lost to WF, UVa, and an equally bipolar Northwestern (how can a team lose 9-7 to Illinois State and beat Michigan State 54-40?). The Blue Devils held triple-option Army to 6 points, but it was in monsoon conditions, and Army is no Navy. Duke beat ND and stayed close with Louisville. My guess is that Tech will win, but I wouldn't be surprised if our offense struggles some.
 
GT's offense is still a huge question mark because they are so inconsistent. For the second year in a row the defense is more consistent and reliable, which I thought would never occur under a CPJ coached team. This game is a toss up. Wouldn't surprise if me GT won or lost.
 
I'm conflicted, just because of how solid Duke has looked on defense. and they were really the only team that slowed us down in 2014 and couldn't move the ball at all last season against them
 
I don't know what would be worse this year losing to duke or ufag
I think GT wins both the Puke and UGAG games this season. I think this will be David Cutcliffe's last season at Duke before he retires then Duke will fall back to being a 2-3 win team every season.
 
I think Coach CPJ hangs 50+ points on suckcliffe to make a point.

We've said this the last two years, but only combined to score 45 points in '14 and '15. And we've yet to score 40 in a game this year.

I fully expect a W but I think it will be a close game. 27-23 GT
 
Waiting until the game is close enough for there to be a weather forecast you can count on before predicting.

Dammit, I was going to go 27-22
