Why Wake Forest Will Win

The Blue Devil pass defense is about to have a bad day.

It’s been okay for the most part all year, but it allows 255 yards per game and doesn’t generate enough third down stops. Now it has to deal with the steady Wake Forest air show.

There might have been issues over the last month with three straight losses before finally getting back on track with a win over Syracuse, but even when things weren’t going right Sam Hartman and the passing attack rolled for over 300 yards.

Duke is used to giving up big yards through the air, but it’s the completion percentage that should be a problem. Duke is 0-3 against teams that hit 65% or more of their passes. Hartman should be able to do that, which is why …

Why Duke Will Win

Duke has to come up with multiple takeaways.

It’s been able to do it in four of the last five games, and that’s usually the antidote for the Demon Deacon attack. Wake Forest doesn’t normally have giveaway issues, but the eight against Louisville and three against NC State were a killer.

Duke is one of the best teams in the country in turnover margin. It’s not going to be able to hang yard-for-yard, but as long as it comes up with a few big plays here and there the offense should be able to crank up its own offense and keep up.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not like Wallace Wade is Death Valley or anything, but Duke has been fantastic at home and struggled on the road. However, it hasn’t beaten anyone  anywhere who’s going bowling – this would be the team’s best win of the season by far.

The Demon Deacon offense will be a bit steadier and more explosive. It’ll be dominant on third downs to go along with the big downfield shots.

Wake Forest vs Duke Game Preview

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Wake Forest can’t quite get over the hump.

It’s been hovering around the top 25 with a recent appearance, and there’s not much of an NCAA Tournament concern, but it has too many hiccups. It’s been solid, though, against some of the ACC’s stronger teams.

It got rocked by Duke 76-64 back in mid-January, but that’s partly because it had one of its worst three-point shooting days of the season. Granted, that’s what Duke does defensively, but Wake Forest is far more prolific from three than it showed.

It’s been hitting everything else from the field – it leads the ACC in field goal percentage – and it should move the ball around well enough to get around that Duke D on the perimeter, but …

Why Duke Will Win

Again, the Duke defense is just that good.

Wake Forest doesn’t have to hit from three to win, but going inside on the Blue Devils is a problem and it’s been hard for most teams to do much of anything from three.

Duke has allowed teams to hit 40% or more from three just once since Thanksgiving.

Wake Forest doesn’t do enough on the offensive glass, and for all of assists and ball movement there are way too many turnovers – way too many – but …

What’s Going To Happen

Again, the shooting.

Duke is incredible from the field, but Wake Forest has the ability to keep the pressure on with a whole lot of points coming in a whole lot of ways. The first performance against Duke was one of the team’s worst scoring days of the year – it’s going to push this into the 70s.

Duke will rise back up at home after losing to Virginia the last time out in Cameron Indoor, but it’s going to be in for a fun fight.

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.

Why Wake Forest Will Win

The big shot to do something special against Clemson is gone – losing 52-3 – and now Wake Forest can make a big push to close strong and have a shot at the Orange Bowl.

If Clemson goes to the College Football Playoff, the next-highest ranked ACC team would go to the Orange. There isn’t a ranked team now, but if the Demon Deacons close out with wins over Duke and Syracuse to finish 9-3, there’s an outside shot they could get the ACC’s biggest bowl tie-in.

The offense has fallen flat over the last two weeks, but that’s because it’s had to deal with the Tigers along with a hot Virginia Tech defense.

Duke doesn’t have a hot defense, or a hot anything.

The Blue Devils have totally collapsed over the last month in an 0-4 run, getting outscored by a combined score of 155-44.

And why? Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers.

The Blue Devil offense has fallen flat, but the 13 giveaways over the last four games, and a whopping total of 22 in the six losses, have made things easy.

Along with a killer offense that still leads the ACC in third down conversions, Wake Forest is a +6 on the year in turnover margin.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Duke Will Win

Enough, Duke. It’s time to start throwing again.

Wake Forest might have a high-powered offense that’s been able to answer the call time and again against the mediocre teams, but the secondary can get bombed on.

The Demon Deacon defense has allowed 242 yards or more and 15 touchdowns in five of the last six games, and it’ll get lit up from time to time by the offenses that like to push the ball deep.

That’s not necessarily Duke, but the possibility is there to dink and dunk, keep dinking and dunking, and chip away at a secondary that can get picked apart. Elon and NC State are the only two teams to not hit 60% of their throws against this group.

There’s still talent on this O to make things happen against the porous defense, but …

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

The Blue Devils are broken.

The offense is working way too hard to get to 300 yards and stay in games, and now the team is desperate to win its last two to get bowl eligible.

It won’t be able to keep up with Wake Forest.

The Demon Deacons still have to prove they can win and keep the offense moving without star WR Sage Surratt, who’s out for the year, but there are still enough weapons to pull ahead early and force Duke’s O to work again.

It will, to a point, but it won’t be consistent enough to keep pace.
