Duke football is just a placeholder until hoops season starts…most of the time.
They are a bit better than that but hardly a juggernaut.
Middle Tennessee is a respectable CUSA program, but they are in transition.
Duke Blue Devils
Duke got beat up in their opener by Alabama, everyone saw that coming. Ditto for the follow up, a win over NC A&T.

Daniel Jones is in the NFL opening up a spot for Quentin Harris. Harris got nothing done against Bama but was productive last week. His true level is probably somewhere in between.
The same goes for the Duke defense. They gave up over 40 against the Crimson Tide but only 14 points last week to a lesser foe.
This is not an especially strong Duke team. They should win the games they are supposed to though as they are very well coached.

Kudos to the program for visiting a mid major in a true road game. It does not happen a lot.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
The schedule profile of the Blue Raiders is similar to Duke’s. They got beat soundly by a blue blood (Michigan) but then rebounded with a win over an FCS team (Tennessee State).
They are also working in a new quarterback, Asher O’Hara. He is a much better athlete than the last guy and leads the team in running and passing.
I have often liked the MTU program for its steadiness. They are well coached too and have a great shot here.
The key will be getting their fans hyped up to take on an ACC foe. The Blue Raiders have to get off to a good start and let their supporters energize them. O’Hara can be a difference maker.

I am going to sprinkle a little on the home team. Look for O’Hara to be the difference maker.

O’Hara is going to have to do it with his legs and his arm in this one. Make the kind of plays that puts the team on his back so to speak.
Duke is not going to rollover but they will be under the gun and come up short on the line and lose the game.
