The Miami Hurricanes and the Duke Blue Devils will clash on Saturday afternoon. Miami, Florida, will be the site for this ACC showdown.
Former Miami head coach and now Duke head coach Manny Diaz will return to face his former team. Diaz posted a 21-15 record as head coach of the Canes over three seasons.
Duke enters the contest unranked with a 6-2 record. If the Blue Devils can pull off an upset win, they will enter the conversation to win the ACC.
Duke lost a heartbreaker at home last weekend, 28-27, against a good SMU football team. The Blue Devils have lost two of their last three games after an undefeated start.

The Blue Devils are being undervalued today.
Duke has a good enough defense to compete and slow down this Canes offense this afternoon.
Murphy has played well this season and will be in a strong game script to throw for 200 yards or more.
I expect a strong effort from a good Duke team today.
