Duke prediction thread

Keyser, must you be reminded every year at this time?

Do you know what this image is?

These are leaves, which have been affected by a change in season. And when this happens, you know what else happens?

That's right, the offense is about to explode. There have been glimpses all season long, but this is the time of year where the spread option offense tends to shape up into beautiful form.

I suggest changing your prediction to something of the tune 42-28. GT rolls, with 339 rushing yards.

That Keyser dude is a real idiot, huh?
 
I think a lot of the predictions have scores that are too high. Duke's offense is mediocre at best, and their defense has been pretty good, overall. They had something like 6 turnovers in the game they lost to UVa 34-20, and in the win over ND, they had a KO return for a TD plus 10 points off turnovers. I think we could get a score that is more like GT 17 Duke 13.
 
Some good and bad thoughts:

The bad: Duke is 5-0 against TO teams (GT, Navy, Army) going back to 2013. This year their opponents are 0-8 on 4th down. CPJ might need to rethink going for it on 4th and short, but at least he has film to see their defensive tendencies.

The good: Tech lost the last two games to Duke on wet fields and rain, including a lightning delay in 2014. The weather forecast for Saturday is sunny and 84 degrees. Duke WR, Anthony Nash, was injured in the Louisville game and should be out. They have also lost their starting punter. Duke is only 3/7 on field goal tries this year.

We lose and we lose bigly. Something like 0-221. We never win again and our minds will never be right again.
 
Tech shows the dwags why you don't pick a powerhouse for a homecoming opponent.
