4-0 Is Impressive, But ACC Play Is A Different Matter Altogether

There aren't many easy wins the rest of the way. Then again, Duke's program is really coming along.

At 4-0, Duke has done well so far this season, but ACC play starts Saturday and things will get tougher, starting with Saturday's trip to Miami.

Miami's 2-2, with losses to Louisville and Nebraska and wins over Florida A&M and Arkansas State. Last year they didn't have star back Duke Johnson as the Blue Devils prevailed in Durham, 48-30.

After that, Duke gets Georgia Tech on the road, UVa at home and then Pitt on the road.

It won't be easy but with a couple of more wins, Duke will be bowl eligible for the third straight year.
