The Duke Game Will Be…

CaneTheGaytors said:
…our toughest game of the season so far, in my opinion.

We’ll be facing the best defense that well may see this season, and their QB is the kind of QB that our Canes have struggled against. Our D will have to come ready to play. Our OL is gonna see more blitzing than they’ve seen all season long. Cam and the offense will have to be locked in and focused. Our DL will have to play disciplined and finish plays off. Our LB’s and DB’s will have to tackle way better.

Hopefully Mario will have our Canes ready and focused.

That should mean a receiver is running wide open though, no? If they blitz, Cam needs to release the ball more quickly and he needs one of the receivers to bail on their vertical route to give him that quick release option.

It seemed like he didn’t have a hot route on most of those plays last night, which is no bueno. The Holes also got several free releases on him. Our OL’s pass protection was the worst it’s been all season. Gotta clean that up.

duke has the worst offense in the power 4 based on several metrics

this won't be close to our toughest game yet. yeah our offense will have a test but we should own the line of scrimmage and they won't be able to score with us

SMU had SIX turnovers tonight and duke only had 27 points

That is what happens when you don't have a kicker. Manny flashing back to bubba baxa.

WINS
Elon 2-6
Northwestern 3-5
UCONN 5-3
MTSU 2-6
UNC 4-4
FSU 1-7

LOSSES
GT 5-4
SMU 7-1

They’ve beaten one team with a winning record and it’s UCONN. Not sure how dynamic any of those offenses are so while yes their defense looks good I’ll be surprised if they can take away Cam and the Run Game.

Maalik stats look nice but he’s a bottom 5 ACC QB in completion %. If we can slow Star Thomas down the RB we should be OK.
 
Yes, complacency is the enemy and this game could easily be overlooked. Their week of preparation will be intense and we need to set the tone for 60 minutes. Hopefully we have a good crowd on hand to help bring the juice.
