Wake Forest vs Duke Game Preview

Why Duke Will Win

Time to get the O going.

Duke doesn’t have enough on defense to hold up against the Wake Forest offensive machine, but it can run, it’s got enough of a passing game to bomb away, and it needs to keep up the pace.

The Demon Deacons might be fantastic, but they don’t control the clock and they don’t do much of anything against the run.

Army, Syracuse, and Louisville might all have special running games, but allowing close to 1,000 yards in three games is a whole lot.

The Wake Forest D has given up over 500 yards of total offense in each of the last four games, and …

Why Wake Forest Will Win

The team keeps on winning even with the porous defense.

On the flip side, Duke’s defense is last in the ACC in passing yards allowed, it’s last in the ACC in scoring and total defense, too.

You want to run on this group? Go ahead. You want to bomb away? Give it a shot.

The Wake Forest offense doesn’t turn the ball over enough to matter, it’s got a great way of answering scores with its own good drive, and for all of the problems on defense, it gets into the backfield.

– College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

Wake Forest is too good at generating the big play at the key times to ever be out of this.

Don’t be shocked if Duke hangs around, though.

The clunker in the 48-0 loss to Virginia and 38-7 disaster to North Carolina were more of an outlier for this team. Wake Forest will pull away with a big burst in the second quarter and cruise, but Duke will peck away just enough to make the other side continue to try.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Duke vs Virginia Game Preview

Why Duke Will Win

The offense is working.

It’s got enough balance to be versatile on the fly, it’s keeping the chains moving, and it should be able to keep up with a Virginia team that loves to get into firefights. The Blue Devils struggled a bit against North Carolina, but they cranked up well over 400 yards in every other game so far.

On the flip side, Virginia has been strange. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall is usually great at putting together sure-tackling, rock-solid defenses, and this year’s version isn’t one of them.

The Cavaliers allowed 200 yards passing and 200 rushing in three of the last four games, the pass D is mediocre, the run D is far worse, and Duke should be able to take advantage of it.

– Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Virginia Will Win

This passing game is a whole lot of fun.

Brennan Armstrong has the perfect name for what he does. He’s a tough bomber with a strong enough arm to keep pushing the attack through the problems of the defense – the Cavaliers have hit the 400-yard mark through the air in four of the last five games.

In this, though, the Cavaliers will try to balance things out a wee bit. The Duke run defense hasn’t been anything special, but the secondary has struggled every bit as much.

As long as Armstrong and the passing game can limit the mistakes – Duke can take the ball away – and not give the Blue Devil O easy scoring opportunities, the Cavs should be fine.

– Week 7 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

There will be a whole lot of points with a whole lot of yards, because that’s what these two teams do.

Lots of O, little D, and with both sides coming up with enough momentum swings to make this interesting. However, Virginia has more pop to pull away as the game goes on. Too many Duke drives will fizzle out in Cavalier territory.

The Jets picked 2 players named Michael Carter in the NFL Draft, and football Twitter had jokes

The Jets are on a mission to draft all the Michael Carters this year.

If your name is Michael Carter, the New York Jets probably want to draft you, because Saturday during the later rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft, they picked up two ACC players who both happened to be named Michael Carter.

In the fourth round of the draft on Saturday, the Jets selected North Carolina running back Michael Carter with the 107th overall pick. And not long after that, with the 154th overall pick in the fifth round, they took Michael Carter II, a cornerback out of Duke.

The Tarheels’ Michael Carter was the team’s leading rusher last season with 1,245 yards, nine touchdowns and an average of 8.0 yards per carry. He had the fourth-most rushing yards in the country and was in a three-way tie for the fourth-best average per carry.

The Blue Devils’ Michael Carter II was one of two Duke players this year with two interceptions on the season, and he was credited with 41 total tackles, 26 of which were solo.

Once ACC Coastal rivals, the two Michael Carters are now teammates.

And, of course, football Twitter had plenty of (and some of the exact same, super obvious) jokes and funny reactions to the Jets drafting two Michael Carters.

Duke College Football Preview 2021: Offense

– The offense stalled. It was able to move the ball from time to time, but it was crushed by turnovers and massive mistakes. The overhaul starts at quarterback with the door open 6-3 junior Gunnar Holmberg to step up and take over for Chase Brice – who transferred to Appalachian State – with Job One being to not give the ball away. More on that later.

– The passing game needs more explosion after averaging just 11 yards per reception. 6-5 leading receiver Jake Bobo is back in a receiving corps loaded with experience, but top TE Noah Gray will be sorely missed. All-around back Deon Jackson is also done, but leading higher Mataeo Durant returns along with Jordan Waters to add a little more pop.

– The Blue Devils had a hard time operating behind a line that was among the worst in the country in sacks allowed, but three starters return along with most of the depth. This isn’t going to be a blasting line that hammers out a big-time running game, but it has to limit the pressure.

Notre Dame Football vs. ACC teams all-time

How has Notre Dame fared all-time against each member of the ACC? We’ve updated the numbers.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, if you consider yourself a Notre Dame football fan in even the smallest amount you’ve likely heard that the 2020 football season saw Notre Dame play an ACC schedule.

That got me wondering what kind of success Notre Dame has had against ACC foes.  Some have had long histories of playing the Irish while others only really came into the picture since Notre Dame’s “friends with benefits” deal went down just over a half-decade ago.

So how has Notre Dame fared against everyone in the ACC and who won the most recent match-ups?

Breaking down and analyzing the 2021 Duke Blue Devils football schedule with the best and worst case scenarios.

[jwplayer 4Xu6sYWC]

2021 Duke Football Schedule

Full schedule analysis with best and worst scenarios below

Sept. 4 at Charlotte

Sept. 11 North Carolina A&T

Sept. 18 Northwestern

Sept. 25 Kansas

Oct. 2 at North Carolina

Oct. 9 Georgia Tech

Oct. 16 at Virginia

Oct. 23 OPEN DATE

Oct. 30 at Wake Forest

Nov. 6 Pitt

Nov. 13 at Virginia Tech

Nov. 18 Louisville

Nov. 27 Miami

Dec. 4 ACC Championship (in Charlotte)

Games vs. The Atlantic: Louisville, at Wake Forest

Missed Teams From The Atlantic: Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, NC State, Syracuse

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Analysis: Can the Blue Devils get by Northwestern at home? Do that, and it’s likely a 4-0 start to the season with Georgia Tech a home date coming up after the road trip to North Carolina.

However, there’s a run of three road games in four October dates. That might be a rough month, but the finishing kick gets three home games in Durham. Missing Clemson from the Atlantic is big, but going to Wake Forest and playing Louisville on a Thursday night won’t be easy.

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: 8-4. The schedule just isn’t all that awful. It’ll take something truly special to get to 8-4, but beat Northwestern, take out Georgia Tech, Pitt and Louisville at home, and it’s possible. There’s no Clemson or Notre Dame to face, and the Miami game is home, but …

Duke Blue Devils Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: 4-8. It’s hardly a given that the Blue Devils can get past Northwestern, or Georgia Tech, or anyone in ACC play. They’ll come up with victories over Charlotte, North Carolina A&T, and most likely Kansas early on, and they’ll get one other win somewhere, along the way. But it’s highly possible that it could be about it, especially with all of the road games in the middle of the season.

Michigan State Football lands Duke DE Drew Jordan from transfer portal

Mel Tucker and Michigan State Football continue to be very active in the transfer portal this year, adding Duke defensive end Drew Jordan.

[jwplayer 1F4h9bQO-PROpJzTY]

Mel Tucker and Michigan State Football continue to be very active in the transfer portal this year. Now they have picked up their first defensive player through the portal in Duke defensive end Drew Jordan.

Jordan, who is 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds, will come to MSU as a graduate student. He has started to past three years for the Blue Devils and finished this season with 35 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.

Jordan should be fighting for one of the starting spots next year as he has recorded over 100 tackles and 10 sacks over his four years at Duke. Jordan becomes the fourth different player to transfer to Michigan State joining Anthony Russo, Harold Joiner III and Jarrett Horst.

Notre Dame Beats Duke: Staff Game Balls

Notre Dame starts the year 1-0. Now see who the FIW staff chose are their game ball recipients for the socially distanced week one victory!

Notre Dame defeated Duke 27-13 to start the 2020 season as a member of the ACC for the first time in program history.  It was far from perfect but it was a win.  Here at Fighting Irish Wire we’ll give out game balls for the best players on both the offense and defense each and every week, here is what we came up with from Saturday’s victory.

First from Geoffrey Clark:

Offensive: Kyren Williams
The Irish have a lot of faith in this kid, and he showed why against Duke. Scoring twice and gaining 205 all-purpose yards, including 112 on the ground, was enough to sway at least some people who might have had any doubts about him. He was the only offensive player to look consistent from start to finish on a day when most of the unit took time to wake up. While he can’t be the Irish’s only weapon if they’re going to succeed, there’s no question he’ll be a big one.
Defensive: Isaiah Foskey
Duke threatened to take control of the game when it got to Notre Dame’s 2-yard line in the second quarter.  Instead, Foskey blitzed and was ruled to have sacked Chase Brice for a 10-yard loss after a replay review.  The Irish’s lead never felt seriously threatened after that because the offense started to get it going.  Foskey also recorded two quarterback hits and 1.5 tackles for loss, which cost the Blue Devils 11 yards.

Rain for Notre Dame opener Saturday?

Will Saturday end up stormy in South Bend? Get the latest forecast ahead of Notre Dame and Duke right here!

When Notre Dame opens their football season on Saturday might there be thunderstorms across the Michiana area?

That might just be the case.

Or it might not be depending on how you look at things.

According to The Weather Channel there is a 50% chance of rain for Saturday’s opener against Duke as the forecast calls for a high of 78 and low of 61.

Off the top of my head I can’t think of a Notre Dame opener that has included rain since the 2011 disaster against South Florida, one of the most miserable sporting events I have ever attended.

We’ll keep an eye on the skies and on the forecast and if it does end up raining, let’s at least not hope for an embarrassing upset to go along with it.
