Next up for Duke is Virginia, where Mike London may be at the end of his tenure. Although he's done just about everything right except win enough, there's a lot of pressure on him and he may not be back next season.

Not that Duke's situation is perfect. The Blue Devils have lost two games in a row, three officially when you count the Miami game, which we must do even though the final play was badly blown by the officials.

So three losses. And three players kicked off the team this week, including promising wide receiver Johnell Barnes.

On the bright side, Thomas Sirk is back after missing the Pitt game. Duke's quarterbck has been erratic as a passer but overall has certainly been productive.

And Duke's defense, which started off so well, has not done well during the losing streak.

So there's a lot to see to on Saturday.

If Duke can pull off the win, then the Blue Devils will move to 7-4 and can still have a nine-win season.

Kickoff is 3:30.
