Duke @ Memphis Game Thread

[Bob Green]

It is never too early to start the game thread. It is time to build off yesterday's big win and whip the Tigers.

The line gives Duke a 6 point edge, which seems like a low guess to my non-gambling self. I don't know anything about Memphis other than we beat them pretty soundly last year.

Memphis Head Coach Justin Fuente discusses the upcoming game against Duke:

On what he expects from Duke offensively"I expect them to get the ball to No. 3 (junior wide receiver Jamison Crowder). He is a special playmaker for them. I feel like watching them, that Crowder is their electric play-making kid. Their quarterback (junior Anthony Boone) is a dynamic playmaker. He will carry the ball a little bit, and make some plays with his feet and his arm. A lot of that for them starts up front. They are experienced up front, and they are pretty darn good."

A lot more thoughts available in the article.

To jump to the chase, I predict a 31-13 Duke victory.

She says Memphis' strength is their power running game out of 2-back sets. Her prediction: Duke 38, Memphis 21.

GAME DAY GAME FACE

Let's Go Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty solid win considering the loss of Boone. Obviously too many mistakes on offense with the turnovers, but our defense was great. I feel more confident for GT after Connette stepped up and handled the game like a guy we can depend on.

I see your crystal ball was well polished this week. Well done, Bob.

Brandon Connette did a great job coming in for Starter injured QB, Anthony Boone, and taking over!!!!!
