Duke vs. Illinois
Summary
Pick/market: TBH based on the enemy preview, it seems Duke aligns well against them.
budwom said... (original post) If the Egret pulls it together as I think he can, we win show more TBH based on the enemy preview, it seems Duke aligns well against them. UAB gashed them on the ground and we are way more physical and capable in trenches with an elite RB - I like where Duke stands here. If IL CBs are in fact NFL talents as claimed, it seems this is another game Eget will use a lot of checks or short routes - It really feels DM should get some series (Not bc Eget isn’t good) but bc of how it changes the O pace and D coverage requirements - This seems like a strategy to truly keep IL guessing a bi more. Their QB p4 stats are atrocious - IIRC 7 TD to 9 INT. So their weakness in QB aligns well with Duke needing more growth/consistency in secondary. It should also allow Duke to truly own trenches here and pressure QB - Run D seems solid as always. Keys to win: - Selectively use passing game - Win trenches - 2 or fewer turnovers or failed 4ths - Finish drives better than the 3/9 or whatever they ended on last week of inside opponent 30 ( or so) and no points. They do those things well, this is a blowout win. Same score prediction as last week for me - Duke comes out early and wins big 42-17.
