ANTONE EXUM
After a rough game against Cincinnati two weeks ago, Exum bounced back to put together an impressive effort in the loss at North Carolina last weekend. He’ll most likely be matched up on Vernon for most of Saturday’s game, a task that will be crucial to Tech’s success. If he can put together another game like last week, Renfree will have to find someone else to throw to.
BACKED INTO A CORNER
This was one of my reasons for being afraid of Pittsburgh earlier this season. The Panthers were 0-2, and it was put up or shut up time for that football team. It’s the same situation here for Tech, having lost back-to-back games and three of their last four. Duke’s a game you typically mark down as an automatic “W” before the season begins. But right now, it seems like anything can happen with this game. Don’t be surprised if Tech’s desperation for a victory makes the difference in this one.
PREDICTION
This should (surprisingly) be a pretty competitive game; Duke’s on fire, Tech’s pretty down in the dumps. Neither team is playing the way people expected them to. This game could go along way in restoring universal order in the ACC — assuming the Hokies can pull it out.

Not bad, Zach. I think you may have the final score right, only difference being that the visitors pull it out.
Tech lacks the fundamentals this year- O Line blocking, receiving (read Marcus Davis), playing off blockers and tackling.
We're a wounded animal, if Duke has any killer instinct at all they'll be mentally prepared to pull off the upset in Lane.
Coaching?? Well, 2 of our 3 losses this year have been to first year head coaches at their institutions. If you count the Sugar Bowl loss, make it 3 out of 4.
This is why Tech scares me- no resolve to fix the glaring issues under the headsets.
That said- Go Hokies, prove me wrong.
