and is 28th nationally, giving up only 117.3 yards per game. Tech has yielded only 110 yds on the ground vs Vir & NC St combined!
FSU comes in gaining 218.1 ypg on the ground to rank 18th nationally.
It appears that, for the most part, Tenuta's D has done a pretty good job. I feel the FSU game will be our sternest test so far & am anxious to see if the Yellow Jackets can continue with a pretty good defensive job on the Seminoles. Let's see if Tenuta earns his money this week.
 
Duke is 2nd in conf. and 29th nationally.
They gave up 65 combined to UVA&NCST.
They already played FSU and gave up 113 for a total of 178 to the 3.
It looks like TR is doing OK with talent that probably would not start for any other team in the ACC.
I for one will always wonder what he could have done here with the experienced players that he recruited and suffered thru their growing pains over the past 3 years, who now are 3 and 4 year starters. Also without the GOL factor.
 
No flame or dis on Ted, but Saturday's Clemson v Duke game looked an awful lot like a lot of Tech games over the last few years. Very tough for a half then couldn't stop them when they needed to. I still like Ted and hope he does well, but can't complain about Tenuta and what he's done this year.
 
Yep, we GOTTA continue to step it up and stop the run against the Noles. Nick Maddox is a VERY good back, and their O-line is a monster. We're gonna have our work cut out here.

Not to mention what their QB can do!
