Game Thread: #23 Miami (7-2) at #28 Duke (7-2)

[tshirt]

--3:30 PM (ET), ESPNU, Wallace Wade Stadium, Durham, North Carolina

--Miami is favored by 3.5

--The Herald-Sun (Durham, NC newspaper): "Duke controls destiny, but Miami in way...Duke will play its most important football game in decades today when the Blue Devils host Miami. Duke controls its own destiny and can win the Coastal Division title and berth in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte by winning its final three games of the regular season, beginning with Miami today and continuing at Wake Forest Nov. 23 and at North Carolina Nov. 30. But a loss today will eliminate the Blue Devils from the Coastal race."

--since 1976, Miami is 9-0 vs Duke (5-0 at Duke)

--Senior Day for Duke football -- Duke's last home game of the year

--Duke's seniors have back to back winning seasons at home in Wallace Wade stadium. The graduating class of 2007 won 3 career home games.

USAToday ranks it the #6 game of the week, writing: "Both teams still have dreams of winning the ACC Coastal, but come into this game headed in totally different directions. Miami has gotten smoked two weeks in a row while Duke has won its last five."
