I think it's quite possible that State is better than Clemson....not just close enough to maybe beat them, but maybe just flat out better...

Certainly it is possible but I expect Clemson will win.

[ehdg]

For those in NJ/NYDuke game will be on the YES network.

[Bluedog]

I don't know that I've ever seen as big of a spread as the Cuse game. They're favored by 53 points!!

Against Wagner. Seahawks football doesn’t have the same pedigree as their Duke-dominant b-ball.

Still too soon!

In other news...who is this Zay Flowers guy for BC? He's dynamic.

I hope Virginia Tech can beat UNC-CH today. However, the Hokies are 9.5 dogs. And they appear to really stink this season thus far when I have watched them. They got molly whopped by West Virginia last Thursday night.

[CameronDuke]

BC beats Louisville. 34-33.

[CameronDuke]

UNC-CH leads Virginia Tech 14-3 early in the second quarter.

[CameronDuke]

21-3 UNC-CH over Virginia Tech with 10:28 left in the second quarter.

The Hokies look very beatable this year. I think Duke based off what I have seen when I have watched them has a probable shot at beating the Hokies this year.

[Papa John]

Kansas is looking solid against a pretty good Iowa State squad, up 14-11 heading into the 4th. Northwestern is also not out of it yet against #11 Penn State, having just scored on a long TD pass to cut the deficit to 14-7 with 2:10 left in the 3rd.

Looking forward... Wake looks legit good at FSU. VaTech is garbage, so difficult to gauge UNC (whose offense is legit but up until today their defense has been putrid, so they'll need another data point to back up what on surface appears to be a solid D performance today). BC defends their home turf by beating a not-very-good Louisville. Syracuse is rolling in their scrimmage. I'll be interested to see if Pitt is able to rack it up against GaTech (which they should), or if the Jackets show some signs of life.

Looks like good football weather for this evening's tilt against the Cavs...

They won 56-0!

[AGDukesky]

Pitt is somehow losing at home to Ga Tech 9-7 start of the 4th

Georgia Tech 26 -- Pitt 20 final

Huge upset -- Tech entered the game 1-3 and had performed so poorly that they fired their Head Coach in-season; the Yellow Jackets went on the road to Pitt as a 21-point underdog yet led much of the way

Let’s hope that their inspiration and motivation for firing their coach is a one game phenomena.

We might be overrating Pitt as well. I think we'll be motivated after last year, and we've been very good with turnovers to date. That was the one stat that stuck out like a sore thumb in the box score. We also have game tape on the interim staff that Pitt didn't have.

[CameronDuke]

The best coaching hire in the ACC through 5 weeks appears to be Coach Elko.

UVa is wondering why they hired Elliott and Virginia Tech is wondering why they hired Pry.

It normally is....though it lasted a bit longer for Miami in 2015 (I know, too soon...)
