Duke improved to 7-2 on the season this past Saturday with a 41-3 rout of rival NC State. Running back Nate Sheppard ran for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, while the Blue Devils’ defense held the Wolfpack to 217 total yards in a dominating performance.
With matchups against Miami and Wake Forest ahead, the Blue Devils still control their own destiny in making the ACC title game for the second straight season.
Here is how the national pundits have the Blue Devils spending the postseason.
