Duke(4-2) comes back home after a loss on the road to Virginia(4-1) by 7. Florida State looks to get back on the winning track after losing to Miami in the final seconds at home.
Florida State stands at 1-3 on the season. But don't let that fool you. They are loaded with Top 5 in the nation talent. They're still adjusting to life with a Freshman QB, James Blackman, who took over after starter Francois was lost for the season against Alabama in their first game. They still are 3-time National Champions and 17-0 versus Duke. The only time Duke Football has had success against FSU is when the NCAA vacated their wins. The last three meetings during the Cutcliffe era has been 41-16 loss in 2011, 48-7 loss in 2012, and 45-7 loss in 2013 ACC Championship. The largest ever margin of victory for FSU was 62-13 in 1998.
Duke's last game was probably Daniel Jones' worst outing to date. 14 completions on 42 attempts for 124 yards and 1 TD while offering up 2 INT's. The offense is maligned for sure which doesn't bode well against several of the nations top linebackers...

This one may get ugly fast if Duke doesn't protect Jones or the Blue Devils cannot run the ball. Duke's defense is keeping them afloat with another takeaway last week resulting in a pick-six. But the defense cannot be the producer of points every game. This Duke offense needs a dramatic turn in the right direction. The time has yet to be determined for kick off.
Let's Go Duke!
