There were 78 points scored last year in Duke's 48-30 victory against Miami. The two teams should match that this season.

David Cutcliffe has made Duke an offensive powerhouse. The Blue Devils always could throw, but now they've become balanced averaging 261 yards on the ground and 230 through the air behind quarterback Anthony Boone.

Boone has completed 62.4 percent of his passes for 876 yards while accounting for 10 touchdowns. Miami gives up nearly 25 points per game. The Blue Devils are averaging better than 43 points per contest. Boone not only has three outstanding receiving targets, but also is aided by freshman tailback Shaun Wilson, who is averaging 14.4 yards a carry and has scored four touchdowns.

Duke, though, ranks 91st in run defense and Miami has one of the top runners in the country in Duke Johnson. He's averaging 6.2 yards per carry. The key for the Hurricanes is freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya, who has looked promising completing 62.4 percent for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Hurricanes are putting up nearly 400 yards of offense per game.
