UConn at Duke
(NCAAF) Huskies (UCONN) vs. Blue Devils (DUK),
Point Spread: -16.00 | -110.00 Blue Devils (DUK) (Home)
Result: Loss
There is a good chance that we might look back at this number later in the season and wonder why Duke was only favored by 15 points, especially as the Blue Devils defense has looked ferocious thus far under new HC Manny Diaz in a 2-0 break from the gate. New Texas transfer QB Murphy looks as if he can grow into the job, as we began to see elements of a dynamic downfield passing threat late in last week's 26-20 OT win at Northwestern. Remember, Duke completely dominated this matchup 41-7 last September at Pratt & Whitney, holding the Huskies to a mere 203 yards in the process. UConn's 63 points last week vs. outmatched Merrimack doesn't really move the needle; more indicative might be the 50-7 opening loss at Maryland when allowing the Terps to rip for 638 yards of offense.
