One Thing I’m Worried About

  1. Duke’s defense is good. Like really good. Like really f’n good. In four games against FBS opponents this year, the Blue Devils are giving up 12.25 points/game. That includes allowing just 7 points to Clemson and 21 to Notre Dame. They don’t allow a lot of explosive plays, and despite last week’s output against Marshall, creating explosive plays hasn’t been the strength of the Wolfpack offense this year.

Two Things I’m Confident In
