9. vs. Duke Blue Devils

Duke has some returning talent on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

The Blue Devils return quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Brittain Brown on offense and All-ACC linebacker Joe Giles-Harris.

Unfortunately for Duke, though, they just don’t have much depth, talent or experience on the offensive line.

I think that lack of physicality will cost Duke greatly against Clemson’s stellar defensive line. It will be tough for any quarterback to make a lot of plays when he is constantly being pressured like Jones will be in this one.
