We need to be ready, the Bleacher Report says this :
Wake Forest has had a lot of trouble slowing down opposing rushing attacks, allowing at least 175 yards in six straight games. And Duke's offense finally came out of hibernation this past weekend with 319 rushing yards in a 43-20 win over Georgia Tech. Meanwhile, Wake Forest's offense came back to Earth last week after three straight games with at least 587 total yards, and Duke hasn't given up more than 31 in a game all season. The Blue Devils become bowl-eligible in possibly the biggest upset of the week.
Prediction: Duke 32, Wake Forest 27

It was nice to get wins over Moe Neal and Nyheim Hines. Those were two high profile recruiting losses.
A lot concerns me about Duke, but those 6 games would have been a tough stretch for any defense. Those 6 games consisted of 4 road games against Clemson, GT, ND and Syracuse and 2 home games against UL and State, so I'm not really concerned about giving up that kind of yardage against, for the most part, really good offenses. Hell, Duke just gave up over 275 yards on the ground during that blowout and GT didn't score after halftime.
ETA: and our "offense came back to earth" and still produced over 330 yards and 30 points in around 18 minutes of possession. Time of possession concerns me but it's not like we had trouble moving the ball all game against a very good State defense.
And Hines is really, really good.
State fans don't believe he should be playing RB though. Don't think he's stout enough.
People keep mentioning TOP. When Oregon’s offense was rolling they would score a ton while routinely losing TOP. One of their coaches was asked about TOP, he said that TOP was not of their top 20 stats that they considered about being a successful team.
In other words, I wouldn’t worry about TOP when we are scoring a ton of points.
