Duke Blue Devils
Duke began their season with a pair of notable non-conference victories over Temple and Northwestern. The Blue Devils shut out the Owls in their home opener, before traveling and defeating the Wildcats. Mike Elko‘s team followed those wins up by hammering on in-state foe NC&T, but they were handed their first defeat from Kansas in Lawrence. The Blue Devils bounced back in their ACC opener last weekend.

Duke scores 36.1 points per game, while allowing 19.2 ppg.

Leonard threw 1,176 passing yards with seven touchdowns to two interceptions, while rushing for 260 yards and four scores thus far.
There’s been a collective effort to replace star running back Mateo Durant. Jaylen Coleman and Justin Waters have split the touches early, with the former leading the team with 308 rushing yards. Waters has rushed for 248 yards, while scoring in each three of the last four games.
Jalon Calhoun is on pace to lead the Blue Devils in receiving for a second straight season, and he’s caught 23 passes for a team-lead 356 yards through three games. Former quarterback Jordan Moore has stepped up at the position, and he’s second on the team with 22 receptions and three touchdowns.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets An uninspiring start led to a coaching change for Georgia Tech. Losses to Clemson, Ole Miss and UCF led to Brent Key becoming the lead man, and a potential turn of the page for the program. The Yellow Jackets went out and performed last weekend, truly.
In Week 5, Georgia Tech (+21.5) defeated Pittsburgh, 26-21, coming through as huge underdogs.
Georgia Tech scores 16.2 points per game, while allowing 29.6 ppg.
Jeff Sims had endured the up and downs of the program this season. The sophomore quarterback brings over two years of experience to the lineup, and his effort versus Pitt could be a sign of things to come. Sims only amassed 183 total yards (102 pass, 83), but he protected the football and led the team to a big upset victory.
Sims has thrown for 841 passing yards with three touchdowns to two interceptions, with 206 rushing yards and a score.
Hassan Hall broke out and had a huge game last weekend. The Louisville transfer gashed Pitt for a career-high 157 yards, and he should have the lead role going forward. Hall leads the team with 260 rushing yards, while Dontae Smith has complimented with 191 yards and a team-lead three touchdowns.

Free Week 6 NCAA Football Final Analysis:
Prior to last weekend, this one would feel like a no-brainer, but the Jackets effort versus Pitt was inspiring. Georgia Tech looked rejuvenated defeating the reigning ACC champs, but it remains to be seen if they can contain Duke the same way for four quarters.
GT was able to pull away in the final period from Pittsburgh, but the Blue Devils are going to find a way to score throughout. We loved it prior to this weekend, and now’s not the time to overthink it. Duke should take care of the manageable margin here.
