    FB: Virginia 48, Duke 0

    Discuss the game here. Duke opens as an 11 points underdog to Virginia with the over/under at 69. Will our Blue Devils pull off an upset?

    On one of my FB posts from Saturday, someone asked what channel had the game. My reply was "Obscurity Sports Network".
    Even the tv next to ours at tailgate which had DirecTV had the game listed in it's lineup, but none of the channels would play it. We wound up streaming it on ours through a VPN on our neighbors' phone and cast it to the TV. (It only worked for a quarter of the game.)
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    Direct TV sometimes streams ESPN3 content on some of it's aux channels, but it would be blacked out in this area just like the online stream. I don't think Direct TV has Bally Sports.

    Channel 646. (Which as stated, was useless on gameday.)

    Aha. Maybe they were having the same issue I was having with the stream (feed didn't work until near the end of the first half, just static).

    DirecTV does in fact have multiple Bally Sports channels. I watched the last game on 646, Sports South. But don't expect me to explain the various blackout rules which may apply to your domicile.

    Jim can you expound on the following statement:

    ...a secondary that is banged up.
    Is there any updated status on Leonard Johnson and Josh Blackwell? Leonard didn’t return to the game after hurting his leg and when Blackwell played in the 2nd half he looked gimpy from my vantage point in Section 19.

    Cutcliffe sounds like a broken record. The coaches need to step up their coaching by running better plays and better defensive schemes.The way the secondary finished against Georgia Tech and UNC Charlotte was how Duke lost . UVA sounds like their QB is the best they have faced this season.

    Duke doesn't do injury updates. Loose lips sink ships and all that.

    But we were told that Leonard Johnson has a lower-body injury.

    All 5,000 of us in the stadium saw that he suffered a leg injury. I was hoping you had some scuttlebutt to share.

    we can only disclose that it is a lower body injury, and we can't even disclose which body it's on.

    Duke will be able to score in this one. UVA’s defense is horrendous. The question is, can Duke stop UVa’s offensive attack. Their QB Brennan Armstrong really likes to sling it and is pretty mobile, too. I expect a high scoring game and think Duke could cover the spread since UVa has won their last two road ACC games on missed FGs at the buzzer by the opposition but I’m not sure if Duke can win on the road against a great offense.

    I would say that the Duke defense couldn't stop a turtle(not the Twerps). But I will say that it's not all on the players. Continued missed assignments in the secondary tell me the coaches are not getting through to the players. Or, the players are not smart enough to get it and I don't think that's the case. If the player is smart enough to attend Duke University, then they're smart enough to understand what they are supposed to do. I agree Duke should be able to score enough points to win. Well, if they don't use the bubble screen and the backup QB isn't called on to pile drive up the middle too many times.

    GoDuke!

    This captures my thoughts exactly. It sounds like Duke's secondary is banged up, which you'd think might mean a tough day since UVA has a good passing attack. But Duke is going to be able to score here. Louisville's RB had never had a 100 yard game in his career but managed to post not one but two 50+ yard runs against UVA last week. And UVA's offense is actually a little inefficient. Last week the Cavaliers had 280 yards of offense in the first half against Louisville and zero TOs, yet only got 13 points out of it.

    The point being, I don't know who's going to win (though I'm obviously rooting for UVA), but it should be an entertaining game with lots of scoring. If I were a betting man (and I'm not when it comes to college sports), I'd be sorely tempted by that Over.

    Duke hasn't put up more than 21 points against UVA since 2015. One might note that Bronco took over UVA in 2016. It is not a coincidence, he has had our offense's number for his entire tenure, and while they gave up some explosives to Louisville it doesn't appear to me that they are that bad on D overall.
