Our D is the best we have seen in a while, even though we are playing against a different scheme than we (or most any other team) is used to going against. Memphis gave the option a try a few times, with little success. We will be ready, and for the first time in a long time I think our D is prepared to execute. Having your game plan and being able to execute your game plan are two different things; I foresee us executing and really giving GT fits all day.
It should be fun. I don't have any doubts that Georgia Tech will score, but I think we'll be able to do it more than them. My prediction...
Duke 27 - GT 20
GT's scoring against us in the Cut-Johnson eras (started coaching at their respective schools the same years):
42
38
30
49
27
That 27 was a 27-0 smackdown in 08-09 by the way. I'm skeptical the run D will handle the D better than ever, and certainly not 22 points better than last year. We can win, but I'd bet the over.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?
7:49:36<Wander> drink every qb run?
7:49:38<loran16> umm, drink every time asack rushes?
7:49:38<wolfybeard> @devildeac: drink when Asack runs a keeper
7:49:39 PM<CB&B> any time zack runs, drink
